[Feature Request] Allow loaded cache meshes to be rotated
Dear RLGUY, supposed I have fluid that is good working in one blend, and I would like to use it in different blend, perhaps making multiple Domain object, could I just load the fluid cache and manipulate the transformation, rotation, etc and render it out?
I tried, but rotation does not seem to work, I tried applying rotation and still does not work as the cached fluid keep resetting its rotation.
Any trick to use?
Thanks!
Hey enzyme69,
You can load the cache within a new Domain inside of a new .blend scene. As of now, rotation is not allowed. I'll add this as a feature request.
Also, just a note: if you load a cache into a new domain and the cache contains whitewater meshes, you will need to enable the whitewater setting in the domain for the particles to be displayed.
Thanks for acknowledge-ing the feature request.
In the meantime, I am using Sverchok Add-On to Offset Tranform the fluid surface. There is a funky -1,-1,-1 transform on the surface, but I can fix this using SV also.
Cheers!
I re-open just in case people asking for similar feature to rotate resulting fluid surface.
Rotating also works using this method.
I supposed, Alembic export can also work, but Alembic cache also has this limitation of difficulty to offset transform.
UPDATE: We can also do this without Sverchok Add-On, simply apply Displacement to the fluid_surface shape, with zero strength, then export Alembic Cache. Should force it to bake fluid :)
But would still be nice to be able to simply rotate the surface fluid generated directly without another baking / caching.
