I am currently trying to burst a guitar into flames and wondering how to load sim files correctly ?

I have put a file node at the end of the autodopnetwork and put it to write files i have now got the sim files.

Im wanting the fastest solution to load these correctly now ?

I believe if you just change the File Nodefrom Write to Read that should work as the most simplest way of loading the sim files in.

I have done this but it still seems to take ages to load ?

Lyonz: There are several things I am looking at:
1) What are your computer specs?
2) Is the File Node Active and connected when it is set to Read?
3) Are you caching out from the first frame to the last from on the playbar? With this: first try playing the sim normally then w/o closing Houdini activate the File Node and try that.
I know this is alot to take in so, hang in there?

1) Quadcore 4gb overclocked 64bit windows 7 Nvidia Q8800
2)Yes i have put the file node to read
3)Yes done that

Q1. Wondering whats the reason for making point clouds ? does this help in rendering?


Q2. Im wondering if i need to turn something off before reading the files as im thinking its loading the files but still simulating ?

Lyonz

Is it possible to upload or pm me the file to see what happens with my computer?

Have you tried disabling simulations? (the little brain button, bottom right)

Yea sorted it out for now thanks.
