Best practice(s) for Caching with Particle Fluids

Recommended Posts

Hi

When using the 'Emit Particle Fluid' Shelf Tool it creates a new DOP Network and then a new SOP network that you use for meshing and rendering.

Even though I have several File Cache SOPs inside this new SOP network and also cache my SIM I find I am constantly cooking.

Should I also be caching the DOP network itself using a File Cache SOP?

What about the 'Cache Simulation' and 'Allow Caching To Disk' options on the actual DOP Network SOP? When should these be used?

 

Also any difference in the .sim in the DOP network Output SOP vs .bgeo.sc used by a File Cache SOP?
