I’m creating an animation in Pose Mode with the cache set to Static so I can record the simulation. However, with the cache enabled, I can’t animate the simulation as I normally would.
Is there a way to keep gravity and time affecting the simulation in Pose Mode while using a static cache, so I can animate and record it properly?
Hi Yuki,
This is possible but a little challenging. It’s not what the Static cache was designed for, but it’s true you can “hack” it by enabling a cache while in Pose Mode.
We are currently working on a method to achieve exactly this, as part of our “live performance” tools for Ragdoll. For the time being, you can achieve some of it by clicking on the button currently hovered in your screenshot. This will let the simulation play while you interact. It will re-enable Gravity and play the simulation exactly like how Maya would play it, minus the Maya timeline actually moving and feeding new animated frames into the simulation.
Let me know if that works for you, and stay tuned for a future update (soon!) when you’ll have a lot more options and UI to achieve this effect.
