Temporary Simulation to SSD drive then auto copy to shared network location

And another thread pointing out HD speeds and memory are a large bottle-neck for PFD simulations.

I would request that we have an option to “simulate to local drive C: and then copy to the correctly set up network location” option.

to make things easier for users is obviously a consideration here - so when we have chosen to mapped drive where our sims are to be stored so they can be rendered on a network, it would be great to have a toggle so that the computer will simulate to the local SSD drive.

Surely that will speed things up?

Thanks for the suggestion!

At the moment I think you could implement this manually by setting a MAXScript that copies all caches during the OnSimulationEnd Phoenix callback: Chaos Docs
