Set Frame

   
Different possible results of a Set Frame layout node.
Base simulation is on the left side, SetFrame node configured for a reverse effect in the middle, and SetFrame node configured for stop motion effect on the right side

The Set Frame node allows to directly set the cache frame used for the affected Entities.
