Hi guys, I started learning a bit about wire and got a problem.
after baking the .sim file out, it's quick to set initial state on the DOP network, but, what if I want to manually tweak some points(add an edit SOP) at a particular frame, and want the simulate start from just this tweaked shape?
the quick example file below is just a bunch of lines copied onto a poly sphere, then turned into wire and simulated. the DOP network only reads .sim file as the initial. Is there a way to turn the edited geo into a .sim file that the DOP network can read, or other setups can work the way around?
many thanks
wire cache and re-edit initial state

Hey Hexaylon,
What your trying to do is pretty common. Instead of baking out the *.sim file you should instead bake out a *.bgeo file of the geometry that you are trying to simulate (ie. do a dopimport and fetch the geometry that you want). Then use this geometry do your edit and send it into dops again.
Give it a try and let me know if you have any more questions, or want an example.
