kingsoz Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 hi guys...and girls? does anybody know how to set up a preroll in DOPs? I want roughly 2 seconds of objects falling so they come to a standstill before my keyframed objects start moving at frame 1 been messing around with time offset and creation frames, but nothing seems to work?!!!! any suggestions would be greatly appreciated King Soz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpencerL Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 you could always save out your geo in the state that you want to start it in and load that file in the "initial state" parameter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 To be clear, you save out your simulation (ie, create a .sim file using the Dynamics ROP) and then reference the frame of the simulation you want, in the Initial State parameter of the DOP Network node (Simulation tab). You don't save out geometry. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KOZYX Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 Ah...right...thats what I mean to say.... Download this brand new DOPs_FAQ_Files by SESI-LA and check out faq 16. You might find your answer.

whodini Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 To be clear, you save out your simulation (ie, create a .sim file using the Dynamics ROP) and then reference the frame of the simulation you want, in the Initial State parameter of the DOP Network node (Simulation tab). You don't save out geometry. couldn't be any simpler. I always thought this would have been a daunting task. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
