The Lifesaver for Animations That Drown Your PC
When your RealFlow simulation has more polygons than stars in the Milky Way, it's time to call the unsung hero: Point Cache. This technique is like putting your heavy animation on a diet, transforming it from a digital elephant to an agile gazelle. 🦌
Point Cache for Dummies (and for Exhausted PCs)
The process is simpler than explaining quantum physics to a first-grader:
- Apply the Point Cache modifier to your mesh
- Press Record like it's your favorite song
- Delete the original loader (no fear, like when you delete files "by mistake")
- Enjoy an animation that now runs faster than Usain Bolt
Point Cache is like having a summary of your animation: it saves the important stuff and discards all the unnecessary filler.
When Your PC Says "Enough"
This technique is perfect for:
- Liquid simulations that look like digital tsunamis
- Virtual fires that burn through your FPS
- Explosions that also blow up your patience
- Any animation that makes your PC sound like a plane taking off ✈️
The Circle of Life (Digital)
The ideal workflow should be:
- Suffer with the original simulation
- Apply Point Cache
- Cry with happiness seeing the difference
- Wonder why you didn't do it sooner
And when you finally see your animation running smoothly, remember: it's not magic, just smart technology. Although with the amount of time you'll save, it almost feels like real magic. 🎩✨
