Fluid nCache > Delete Cache Frame

 
 
 

Deletes single frames or whole frame ranges from the current fluid effect’s enabled cache. For example, you can truncate the beginnings or ends of the enabled fluid cache.

Fluid nCache > Delete Cache Frame >

Opens the Delete Fluid nCache Frames Options window. This window lets you specify which fluid cache frames are to be deleted from the current object’s enabled fluid cache.

Current Time

Specifies that the current cache frame is deleted from the current fluid effect’s enabled cache.

Start/End

Specifies that the range of cached frames from the Start Delete Frame to the End Delete Frame is deleted from the current fluid effect’s enabled cache.

Start Delete Frame/End Delete frame

These fields let you specify a start and end time for the range of frames you want to delete.

Default renaming of removed frames

Specifies that the deleted frames are saved as new and separate fluid cache files on disk and are renamed using the prefix backup. For example, if you delete frame 20 from the Ocean fluid cache, then frame 20 is saved to disk as backup_Ocean.mc and a new .xml description file is generated for the deleted cache frame.

Custom renaming of removed frames

Specifies that the deleted frames are saved as new and separate fluid cache files on disk using the custom name specified in the Custom renaming of removed frames field. For example, if the custom name you specify is deleted20Ocean1 and you delete frame 20 from the Ocean1 fluid cache, then frame 20 is saved to disk as deleted20Ocean1.mc and a new .xml description file is generated for the deleted cache frame.

Delete backup files

When on, the cache frames you want to delete are also deleted from their fluid cache files on disk. The deletion is permanent, and can not be undone by Edit > Undo or Ctrl+z.
