Writing out multiple caches - as-09324 - 09-02-2019
Hi, I have a large sim that takes 2-3 days to run, it's made up of debris, props, and actors and because they all have multiple material IDs that overlap I can't have them be one cache to keep their shaders intact.
I have an export particles operator in each of the 5 events, and I am using the Export All utility to write all the caches out - the problem is that it seems to run the sim 5 times, once per cache. The issue this causes is it's a huge sim that takes days to run each time.
Is there a way to have them all write out one frame each per frame in parallel instead of sequentially?

2-3 days? Yikes!
Do you not have caching on your flow enabled? Why is it re-computing with each export? Are you exporting channels not contained in the RAM cache?

It's a massive, minute long sim with a few million particles forming a garbage tsunami, looks great once it's all done but the multiple caching thing is the last problem I have...
Caching is enabled, yes, and the export operator is set to export the default channels only/ As to why it would be re-computing with each export, I was hoping you might be able to help with that

This is my flow if that helps! Totally expect it's something I've missed etc -

Not much to distill from just a screenshot in this case, if you can send the file to support@tyflow.com I can take a closer look.
