Hi,

I need to start explosions at different times on the same animation and I want to use the same simulation several times with delays between them.

How can I tell an OpenVDB sequence to start at a determined frame?

Thanks.

You can add the $F token to support OpenVDB sequences (using files like volue_0001.vdb), but I am not sure if using this token you could add the delay you need to the sequence, because $F is going to use always the current frame number.

Let me think about a solution for this workflow.

Thanks,

Thanks Juanjo!

any ideas on this
I also want to do the same thing

I am thinking about a solution for the next build, probably with other token to set the initial sequence frame.

For the next build, I've added a new parameter to set an offset for the current frame that is extracted from the $F token.

Thanks,
