Generates
a new nCache for the current object and appends it to its enabled
nCache. If the appended cache overlaps in time with the enabled
cache, then it is automatically blended with the enabled cache.
However, if there is a gap in time between the enabled cache and
the appended cache, then the gap is linearly interpolated and no
cache data for the gap is saved to the appended cache.

Opens the Append
to nCache Options window.
Append time range
Lets you define a Cache time range for the
nCache you want to create and append to the current object’s enabled
cache.
- Current time
-
Specifies that only the current
frame is cached and appended to the enabled cache.
- Current time to Time
slider End
-
Specifies that the Cache
time range for the nCache you want to create and append
to the enabled cache starts at the Current time Indicator’s
current position in time and ends at the Playback end time.
- Time slider
-
Specifies that the Cache
time range for the nCache you want to create and append
to the enabled cache is the entire playback range.
- End of cache to Time
slider end
-
Specifies that the Cache
time range of the nCache you want to create and append
to the enabled cache starts at the enabled cache’s Source
end and ends at the Playback end time.
- End of cache to end
-
Specifies that the Cache
time range of the nCache you want to create and append
to the enabled cache starts at the enabled cache’s Source
end and ends at the Animation end time.
- Start/End
-
Specifies that the Cache
time range of the nCache you want to create and append
to the enabled cache starts and ends at the Start and End times
specified in the Start/End fields.
- Start/End
-
These fields let you specify
a Start and End time
for the Cache time range.
- Evaluate every # frame(s) and Save every
# evaluation(s)
-
When
creating an nCache, one sample of your object’s simulation is taken
every frame and saved to your cache by default.
Evaluate
every # frame(s) specifies how often samples are taken
during nCache creation. For example, a value of 2 caches the simulation
of the current object at every other frame of the Cache
time range.
Save
every # evaluation(s) specifies which samples are saved
during nCache creation. For example, a value of 2 specifies that
only every other sample specified by the Evaluate every # frame(s) option
is saved to your nCache.

nCache creation.
