Freezing the simulation

“

- [Narrator] That's super great! Now we have our motions and we maybe finished our work. So the big problem that we have now here is that if we give this simulator, can he really do his job? The reason is, I look at that. If I try to scrub on the timeline, it's a little bit crazy. The problem is right now, the simulation is, as we say, live. So our work is not completely finished because the simulation is not frozen and we haven't really exported or calculated or written any actual value of the motions that we've created. We can't really actually give it to anyone because if later was waiting 20 hours or a lot of time before simulation to finish before he can do his work, he won't be happy. So what do we have to do is to create a cache. Caching in visual effects is the concept of writing data and in simulation, it's about writing the position of every vertex of an object when it's in motion. Like that after, you can take the subject and apply the cache on it. The cache will only take…
