Hi, I'm new here and I'm new in Houdini.

I have a simple question but right now, for me, without any extensive knowledge, it's pretty complicated… I made a smoke simulation, I have render my smoke field in a .bgeo. Everything worked fine, but a close my computer and now, I try to load my simulation with my smokefieds (geometry file point in the good directory and load from disk is check in.

Every time I try to play my simulation, Houdini try to solve my simulation again instead of loading my file… any idea ???

Thanks

In the import_smokefields node “load from disk” has to be checked, also, you have to disable the DOP simulation, which you can do by clicking on the button in the right bottom corner next to “Auto Update”.

cheers,

Manu

Thanks !!!

I think my problem was the padding number. I wanted to keep track of all my iteration…

still learning ;p thank for the quick answer.
