  Offset cached animation in time?

  Posted by Simon Smith on October 27, 2017 at 1:47 pm

  Hi all,
  baked a mograph cloner / dynamics animation into a cache tag.
  Need to shift it in time – tried nitrobake which bakes my thousand clones to keyframes but trying to drag the keyframes in the timeline is sticky / impossible.
  I want to keep it as a cache tag (not to keyframes) but simply to offset when the animation starts.
  Found a post about offsetting time in the cache tag but can’t see that in the cache tag dialogs (in R15, at least).

  Anyone come across a way to do this?

  thanks!

  you can offset when you bake with the MoGraph Cache Tag rather than using the Cache inside the dynamics tag – it doesn’t automatically disable the dynamics like the dynamics tag cache does so you have to bake with the Mograph Cache Tag then turn Dynamic off in the dynamics tag – you won’t notice the difference until you set the Offset

  Hi,
  thanks a lot for that, forgot about it being a tag. Very useful indeed.
