I am working with a FLIP tank and I am waiting and waiting to calculate the sim and when Houdini finally gets to the end of the timeline I see an orange bar for the cache which indicates it is ready to playback in real time.
However, as soon as I rewind to play it, the orange bar disappears and the system starts re-calculating the sim all over again. NOTE: I did not change any parameters.
This is a very annoying workflow.
What am I doing wrong? Why does Houdini work this way?
orange bar indicates that the sim is outdated, not that is ready for playback, so it will resim next time you play blue is ready for playback, so if you see it orange, something must be making your cache obsolete
