3.17Tnpix_Cache

Panel name Tnpix Cache · also reachable as TnpixCache

Saves the simulation to .tnc or .abc and plays it back. Save, load and clear with TnpixTool.cacheSave, cacheLoad and cacheClear.

Property Type A Default Range Description

file filename – The cache file. The extension is the format: .tnc (TenPix) or .abc (Alembic).

playFromCache boolean false Serve the cloth from the file; the Solver below is not evaluated.

animationRange boolean true false also selects Start..End. Use specificRange.

start integer 0 -100,000 – 100,000 First frame to save when specificRange is true.

end integer 100 -100,000 – 100,000 Last frame to save when specificRange is true.

frameOffset integer 0 -100,000 – 100,000 Shifts the cached frames on the timeline.

retime float A 1.0 0.0 – 1000.0 Playback speed; key it for a ramp or a freeze (0).

posterizeStep integer A 0 0 – 100,000 Every this many frames the pose is stamped and held; 0 = off.

posterizeHold integer A 0 0 – 100,000 Frames each stamped pose is held.

specificRange boolean false false = save the scene's animation range; true = save start..end.

writeVelocities boolean true Alembic only: write per-point velocities for motion blur.
