"Save to Disk" in output node inside DOP network


Recommended Posts

Confused by the purpose of the Save to Disk button on the Output node inside the DOP network when creating any pyro sim.

Quote

$HIP/sim/$HIPNAME.`opname("..")`.$SF.sim

There is no corresponding Load file from disk and the parent DOP network already has a Cache to disk option.

Why would you manually save out a DOP sequence as .sim files?

It looks like it might be useful for wedging. I don't know a lot about that, however.

Now that we have VDBs it makes more sense to just dive into the pyro_import and drop down a File Cache node and write out a .bgeo.sc or .vdb instead.

I personally don't see a use for .sim files yet.
