Imported SD Geometry Frozen
Posted: Sat Nov 30, 2013 4:06 am
Hello,
After finally solving the viscosity problem that has been haunting me for months, I'm finally moving forward with my project. There are 10 shots that need to be done, and now at last I'm on shot 10, but I've hit a new problem.
This shot is 1500 frames, so its going to take a while. I came home today and checked on the CL simulation. I do this by using the OpenGL preview to create an animation so I can see how its going. When I did this today, I found that from frame 0 to frame 174, the SD Geometry is frozen at the frame 174 position. Now, these frames had already been simulated, so the cached particles files where there, but this seems very odd. Also, it seems to be messing up the positions of the particles in the later frames because the geometry is not where its supposed to be.
I tried recreating the SD file and recreating the scene file while persevering the cached particles, but it made no difference. This happened once before, but that time it didn't get in the way of finishing the actual simulation.
Any ideas?
Thanks,

I'm upto frame 835 on my 1500 frame shot, but from frame 0 to frame 642, the geomtry is frozen again. Because the problem is stopping before the frame I'm currently simulating, I can continue without having to rebuild the scene, but I'd really like to be able to do an entire preview movie so I can see how the whole simulation is going so far, but this freezing of the geomertry does not let me do that!
