Sim cache not in Asset Browser

[jonathandeblok]

Title says it all, the cache files from the simulations are not in the asset browser. This makes it hard to do some automated re-pathing for network/cloud renders and collecting files when archiving projects.

Would be nice it these where added to it!

yes, the cache files are not included in the assets, the reason is explained here

Yeah that's exactly how I ran into it. I was working on some PFD effects and when I wanted to do some test rendering on another machine I noticed i had setup local paths. So I thought I'd go into the asset manager and change them to a network path there.

Just for reference here is a mxs oneliner that will do a batch string replacement in all PFD objects' cache paths. (is my case from local E: drive to network path of same drive)

for obj in objects where (classof obj == PHXSimulator) do ( obj.simoutput = (substituteString  obj.simoutput  @"E:\"  @"\\GT\E\") )
