How to export a particle bin secuence from a grid?

[Jorge Medina]

I am trying to export a bin particles sequence from a cached Grid Fluid Domain, but seems to not work.
Is there any way to do this via scripting?

Hi Jorge,

in order to export the BIN files the Grid Domain node must be Active. This script should do the trick:

Code: Select all

def exportDomainBinFiles( domain, minframe, maxframe ):
	currentState = domain.getParameter( "Simulation" )
	domain.setParameter( "Simulation", "Active" )
	domain.activeExportResource( EXPORT_GRID_DOMAIN_BIN, True )
	
	domain.activeExportResource( EXPORT_GRID_DOMAIN_GDC, True )
	
	for i in range( minframe, maxframe+1 ):
		domain.activeExportResource( EXPORT_GRID_DOMAIN_GDC, True )
		scene.setCurrentFrame( i )
		domain.activeExportResource( EXPORT_GRID_DOMAIN_GDC, False )
		domain.export()

	domain.setParameter( "Simulation", currentState )

Just call the function with something like:
exportDomainBinFiles( Grid_Fluid_Domain01, 0, 100 )
