Hybrido RPC particles converted to PRT...

So, i forgot to enable the PRT export for the Hybrido particles and only saved the RPC ones...
Is there a way to convert them after the sim in PRT format?
Like we used to convert grid to bin particles in the old RF2012 after the sim was finished....
I'd hate to re-sim for another 40 hours just to get the PRT files...
Thanks in advance.....

Edit: Or even convert the RPCs to BIN format, which Krakatoa also reads them...

Hey,
You can do it by executing this script in the batch script. Make sure you have the first frame with the particles displayed in the viewport, althought you disable the viewport, and the rpc checkbox is checked.
Code: Select all
GD = scene.get_HY_GridDomain("Grid_Fluid_Domain01")
for f in range(scene.getMinFrame(), scene.getMaxFrames() +1):
scene.setCurrentFrame(f)
GD.activeExportResource(14, False)
GD.activeExportResource(5, True)
GD.export()
GD.activeExportResource(14, True)

Hey, Luis...
On the same topic...
How can i convert bin secondary particles (Splash, Foams, Waterlines etc.) into PRTs, as well?
Is there somewhere documented the "activeExportResource" command and what format their export ID numbers represent?
Couldn't find anything detailed enough...
Thanks!

Hey,
There is a way but maybe it is better with the names
Code: Select all
GD = scene.get_HY_GridDomain("Grid_Fluid_Domain01")
for f in range(scene.getMinFrame(), scene.getMaxFrames() +1):
scene.setCurrentFrame(f)
GD.activeExportResource(EXPORT_PARTICLES_BIN, False)
GD.activeExportResource(EXPORT_PARTICLES_PRT, True)
GD.export()
GD.activeExportResource(EXPORT_PARTICLES_BIN, True)
The same thing you could do with the rpc files replacing "EXPORT_PARTICLES_BIN" with "EXPORT_PARTICLES_RPC"

Hmmm....
I can't find the "EXPORT_PARTICLES_RPC" constant...
All other constants work; ABC, ASC, BIN, PDC, PRT....
Edit1:
There is a ""EXPORT_GRID_DOMAIN_RPC" though...
Maybe i can use that for exporting RPCs to PRTs using the names instead of the number IDs?
Edit2:
Yes, that works fine...

Hey,
You are right. That script was for sph particles and I just changed the format. It was "EXPORT_GRID_DOMAIN_RPC".
sorry.
