Hi Guys,

I currently have flip fluid sim which is caching at about 5 minutes a frame.

I would like to leave another pc doing the whitewater sim overnight, but unless I put some sort of delay on the cache node it will
catch up with it.

What would be a Post-Render script so that in every frame the sim delays for a bit?

Or is there a better way of doing this?

Thanks,
Cris

You can write your delay script in the Windows –> Python Source Editor

Then call it in the “Pre-Frame Script” in the Mantra node parameters.
Mantra –> Scripts –> “Pre-Frame Script”

Just don't forget to set script type to Python . :wink:
