Create fluids cache files
You can specify which fluid properties are saved
in the cache file: Density, Velocity, Temperature, Fuel,
and Color. You can only cache properties
that use the Static or Dynamic grid
method. You can also cache grid Texture Coordinates.
This ensures that the texture renders appropriately if you use the playback
cache to render.
To
create a fluids cache
- Select
the fluid container.
- Select Fluid
nCache > Create New Cache .
The Create Fluid Cache Options window
appears. See
Fluid nCache > Create New Cache.
- Set
creation options, if necessary, and then click the Create button.
- Maya
creates a fluids playback nCache file for the selected fluid container. your
fluid cache files are saved to the \maya\projects\default\data\cache directory
by default.
