How to load in specified frame range of cache?

[xtremist999]

Hi there,

 

I have a few questions about loading in cache.

 

1.) How can I load in a specified frame range of some bgeo cache?

 

2.) Or if I load the entire range in, is there a node that can isolate the frame ranges that I want to use and delete the cache outside those ranges?

 

3.) Lastly, how can I offset cache along the timeline after loading it in?

 

Thanks!

Timeshift sop can do what you want.

 

1 / 2 : Just set the file sop to load with $F, and then in the timeshift do    clamp($F,10,50)    and it will use frames 10-50, holding frame 10 and 50 before and after those frames. You can also use if statements or a switch node afterwards to 'turn it off'  

 

3:  clamp($F,10,50)+5    will offset by 5 frames.

 

If you are viewing the timeshift sop, it will only load the frame you are requesting.
