LC Fly Through setting - which frame range is considered

[EDELVIZ_ARCH]

Hi Guys,

just trying to cache out the LC for an animation - in the help it says https://docs.chaosgroup.com/display/...Cache+Settings:

Fly-through – Computes a single light cache for an entire fly-through animation. This option is useful for scenes where only the camera (and not other objects in the scene) changes position or orientation, since only the movement of the camera in the active time segment is taken into consideration. The light cache for all camera motion is computed only at the first rendered frame and is reused without changes for subsequent frames. Note that it can be advantageous to enable the World scale option for fly-through animations.

This is using the frame range given in the modo render item as reference?

Also how do I do it best? Set it to fly though, render a single frame, save the frame and then choose load from frame?

Thanks and all the best,
Jonathan

You do it in the same way like Modo. You setup your frame range, choose what rate (like every n-th frame) you want it and then you start the rendering (you can checkbox the 'don't render final image' like option:4 in Modo to avoid rendering things twice). And then it saves out an ic cache.. next time you render you load it first and change the setting so it take the precalc.
