Preroll for SD or ABC

Post by FlorianK » Wed Oct 30, 2013 3:51 pm

Maybe there is something like that and I've never seen it:

I need a way to control when an SD or ABC or any imported cache is going to start. Currently, it starts at frame 0 and I need it to start playing back its cache from frame 100 on. Is there a setting inside Realflow I can use or do I have to go the cumbersome route and export it again with a different starting frame?

Very good question!
Would really love to know how to do this as well.
This has to be easy right?

Hi,

Just place a key for all objects at the frame zero before exporting in your 3d platform, and then exporting. Now your simulation will start in the frame 100 cause the frame 0 will be the same key that the frame 100. In RealFlow is not possible to do this automatically, I mean, you could do this but moving the keys manually and setting a new key for the frame 0.
