Hello,
We’re using the dynamics on a chain_spring_01 component but it doesn’t appear to support subframes for exporting an alembic or any other format I test. Essentially it appears it only work when played at real time and exported without substeps.
using Maya 2022, mgear 4.0.9
This is rather urgent.
Please help!
Cheers,
Jeremy
I don’t know, because I’ve never exported them to abc. But the simulation only calculates on frames, as far as I know. So maybe try to bake it to animation first, and then maybe also change the baked animation to spline, so they interpolate well sub-frame.
Ok thank you. So it sounds very unlikely to do a direct substep cache. We are trying to bake it but are getting errors. We have a thread here: “Bake Spring Nodes Help ‘Object 0 not found”
(edit: Ah yes, I replied there too)
In the meantime, you might have to do it manually. Select the joints that are driven by the spring. Make them keyable. Bake them manually. (Or write a Python script to do so.)
