Hello,

Is it possible to schedule tasks sequentially?

Example (FLIP fluid sim + Whitewater): i would first like to cache the flip sim, after that gen and cache surface, then do the whitewater sim, perhaps render. It is worth noting that each cache uses OUTPUT node and as such flags should be also set to read it after each task completes.

Is this possible? Perhaps with a script? Would be great to leave it for night.

Thank you!

Have you looked into setting up ROP node dependencies? Maybe you can use a series of “Fetch ROP” to setup dependencies between the different output DOPs. But to setup callback scripts, you would have to unlock the “Output DOP” and modify the ROP node that's inside.

There are also “Dynamics ROP” node that you could use. That would let you setup pre/post render scripts, and connect them as dependencies. You won't be using the “Output DOP” this way though, but it's not too difficult to setup the “Dynamics ROP” yourself.

Another way is to manually setup a script with hbatch. You can then run hscript commands to run the sims, and set flags.

Perfect! Looking into it. Thank You sincerely!
