glmSimulationCacheMerge
The glmSimulationCacheMerge command allows to multiple Simulation Cache together based on Simulation Cache Proxy nodes in the current scene or on a Simulation Cache Library.
bool glmSimulationCacheMerge [-fromScene] [-fromLibrary string] [-mergeCrowdFields] [-mergeLayouts] [-outCrowdField string] [-outCacheName string] [-outCacheDir string] [-outLayoutDir string] [-outLayoutName string] nodeNames;
Flags
| Long name (short name) | Argument types | Properties | Description |
| -fromScene (-sce) | If set, the specified node names will be fetched from the current scene. Either -fromScene or -fromLibrary need to be set. | ||
| -fromLibrary (-lib) | If set, the specified node names will be fetched from the Simulation Cache Library file path passed as a parameter. Either -fromScene or -fromLibrary need to be set. | ||
| -mergeCrowdFields (-mcf) | If set, all input CrowdFields will be merged into the same CrowdField | ||
| -mergeLayouts (-ml) | If set, all input Simulation Cache Layout files will be merged into the same Simulation Cache Layout file | ||
| -outCrowdField (-ocf) | string | mandatory | Name of the output crowdFields (separated with ";") for the merged Simulation Cache files. If the -mergeCrowdFields is set, only one name is required. |
| -outCacheName (-ocn) | string | mandatory | Name of the output cache name for the merged Simulation Cache files |
| -outCacheDir (-ocd) | string | mandatory | Path of the output directory which will be used to write out the merged Simulation Cache files |
| -outLayoutDir (-old) | string | mandatory | Path of the output directory which will be used to write out the merged Simulation Layout files |
| -outLayoutName (-oln) | string | mandatory | Name of the output Simulation Layout files (separated with ";") for the merged Simulation Layout files. If the -mergeLayouts is set, only one name is required. |
Return Value
This command returns true if the merge was successful
MEL Examples
glmSimulationCacheMerge -fromScene -mcf -ocf "finalField" -ocn "finalCache" -ocd "D:/merged/" -oln "finalLayout" -old "D:/merged/" |cacheProxy1|cacheProxyShape1 |cacheProxy2|cacheProxyShape2 ;
// Result: 1
Python Examples
import maya.cmds as cmds
cmds.glmSimulationCacheMerge(|cacheProxy1|cacheProxyShape1, |cacheProxy2|cacheProxyShape2, fromScene=True, mcf=True, ocf=True, ocn='finalCache', ocd='D:/merged/', oln='finalLayout', old='D:/merged')
// Result: 1
