Chapter 4 · The TenPix Toolbar
4.2Cache Manager
Every garment's cache in one window: see which garments have a cache, and load, save or clear them one by one or many at once.
- Selected objects / All cloth in the scene
- The list follows your selection while the window is open, or shows every object that has a Tnpix Solver or a Tnpix Cache.
- Add / Load / Save / Clear / Select
- Act on the highlighted rows (Ctrl or Shift to pick several). Add gives each highlighted garment its own Tnpix Cache, with no file and nothing recorded - the stacks made ready. Load plays each garment from its file; a row without a file asks for one, and several rows without a file ask for one folder in which each garment takes the file with its own name. Save records each garment over the range, into its own file or into the folder as <object name>.tnc or .abc, and then plays from it. A garment on a shared Solver is saved with its whole Solver group by one press. Clear stops playing and forgets the file; nothing is deleted. Select selects the objects.
- Each garment's own file / This folder, Folder...
- Where Save writes.
- .tnc (TenPix) / .abc (Alembic), Velocities (.abc)
- The format of new files, and per-point velocities for motion blur in Alembic files.
- Specific range, Start, End
- Off saves the whole timeline; on saves the frames from Start to End.
