hello, so i have a smoke simulation in good quality so im expecting long hours of work. im trying to save the cache so i can render it more quickly and directly, the problem is that even if i have 95 frames in cache, only a small zone will be loaded, say frame 78 to 95. and if i start to render, houdini starts to cook everything again, maybe a little bit faster but man is exhausting to be taking 11 hours to save the cache when the actual render takes half that time. also i rendered 2 sequences in different days and for some reason they look like they are different simulations it jumps from one frame two another and i really don't know why like if i had different caches. basically im having all kinds of problems with savin cache… any ideas or tips on how to work with cache??

help me guys i've been fighting this render batch 3 days in a row!

Hey guys, i have a building structure and the glass in two different rbd packed objects, a big ball is going to destroy them, but my problem is that the glass collides with the building, and breaks before the ball even hits any of those 2, how can i make them totally static until the ball hits them?
