foxtrotzulu Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 This maybe a very basic question, but I couldn't find the answer despite searching. After running pyro sim, and finding the shape and transparency of the smoke to be perfect, at say frame 50, I would like to use this single frame as a cache for the whole of my animation, for example, all 200 frames. Is there an easy way to cache 200 frames of this smoke(since that is the length of my animation), but use only frame 50 of the cache for the entirety of the animation? I suppose I could rename all the cache files, but I'm guessing there is a better and more elegant way. Thanks in advance for your help.

dimovfx Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Or you can use File node to read just that one file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
