How to manage caches in Blender for Physics?
Blender allows for storing and managing multiple caches at once for the same physics object. You can manage the caches with this list view. Double-click the cache entry to give it a name. Each cache can have a name.
Where does the simulation data go in blendcache?
By ticking the Disk Cache option the simulation data will be saved to a folder called blendcache_caching, if you give a name to the item in the list by Ctrl clicking it will be used as the beginning of each filename otherwise a random number will be used to distinguish each simulations data in the cache. There are some exceptions to this.
Where do I save the cache in Blender?
When doing simulations in blender the results will be cached as you play through the animation. Most simulations will only keep the cache data in RAM until the blend file is saved, when you will get an option of saving the cache to a folder located next to the blend file.
Where are the simulation objects stored in Blender?
Blender’s own caching format with some compression. Each simulation object is stored in its own .uni cache file. OpenVDB. Advanced and efficient storage format. All simulation objects (i.e. grids and particles) are stored in a single .vdb file per frame.
Can you do a physics simulation in Blender?
Most physics simulators in Blender use a similar system, but not all have exactly the same settings available. All the settings are covered here, but individual physics types may not provide all these options.
What happens when physics system is baked in Blender?
Mark the baked cache as temporary. The data will still exist, but will be removed with the next object modification and frame change. This button is only available when the physics system has been baked.
How to animated rigid bodies in Blender Stack Exchange?
The physics systems have cache length settings independent of the scene frame range, so you must ensure that they are set accordingly as well as setting the frame range. To do this for rigid bodies, set the End frame of the cache in Properties > Scene > Rigid Body Cache to the last frame you want the rigid bodies to be animated:
