Hey guys!
I have a SOP/POP particle system with non zero preroll parameter (say 200). My little simulation looks pretty good but I want to cache preroll sim (not overall sim) because preroll sim time is very long. So the question is: is it possible to cache preroll sim right now (and how)? If it's impossible then I think that it's not the bad idea for RFE? :roll:

That's what the Initial State field is for. Simply run your preroll, then RMB on the SOP and save the geometry. Load it back into the Initial State field and presto, no more prerolling required!
