EuniceC Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 Hi, I have cached my simulation so it makes the simulation faster later on. However when I click save to disk in background, it does not cache all of the frames that I want, which is from frame 1 to frame 240. On the Render Scheduler, it shows that the job is 100%, but when I check inside the folder, it only cached up to frame 211. The previous time I did it, it only cached up to frame 140. Before I started caching, I made sure to check the frame range and I am pretty sure I have set it from 1 to 240. I was wondering if anyone had this problem before and how should I fix this? And when this happens, it also doesn't show that there are any errors, so if I didn't check my folder for the cache files, I wouldn't have noticed that it didn't finish caching all the frames. Thank you Eunice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaidlawFX Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 On your rop make sure you toggle on: Initialize Simulation OPs From Dosc: http://www.sidefx.com/docs/houdini/nodes/out/geometry Forces all simulation OPs to be reset. This includes DOP Networks, POP SOPs, and other OPs that cache their results. This is the safest way to render out a simulation, because it starts the simulation from scratch and discards any partial simulations you might have done with different parameters. Plus - Don't use a file node set to write as this will also cause similar problems. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
