Hi, how can i bake an emitter with dynamic objects into keyframes?

Or even better.. can i delete some particles objects after caching em (like mograph selection) without baking em at all?

thanks

Hi thanulee,

Caching particles (Standard) can’t be filtered. You need to use MG-Selections.

Perhaps you can work with the MG-Tracer, and building a Spline along the particle path. Then you can delete anything that is not needed at all. There are limitations with that idea.

If I had a scene file, I might be able to suggest more; No idea yet, though.

Here is an example

Have you tried Alembic? But as well here, no idea about the specific filtering that you have asked for.

Cheers

Thanks for the reply, thanulee.

It has a particle filter function? I did not know that. Thanks for sharing.

My best wishes for your project.
