Recording the Simulation in WS

Post by rjeff »

Well, first of all: Did you make it in Workspace or on the Model side? In case of Workspace, do you have an extra render-program installed that is compatible with the workspace? If you made it in the model side, I think you can use any renderer available there. However if you are happy with a low quality movie, just use a Screen-Cam ;)

I believe, Johnny Tho created a script node for using the cloth simulation in Workspace.
I used that, for the fluid sim scripts. If you downloaded the fluid sim scripts, or the cloth
sim 'pause' script, you can modify either of them, and use them to render to file (JPG, BMP, etc.).

In fact, it may be, that Johnny's can be used as-is. You just need to change the filename
to suit your taste.

It was a solution to the exact problem you're describing Jeff. I'll see if I can find it here.

Here it is.

Read the README! tab first.
