I can't thank you enough. It worked. 2 seconds cached vdb from the frame I wanted. Thanks again :-)

I’m new to x-particles so I don’t really know what you mean, sorry. I did manage to get 1 frame out but the cache took as much memory and it took the same amount of time it took to cache all 48 frames. I want to be able to speed up the process and save memory too if it can be done. I create stills, not animation hence only needing one frame of the sim exported as a vdb. I’ve tried signing into insydiums forum but my confirmation email is not arriving for some reason so I have login details but can’t log in to enquire in there.

Hi Guys, I was hoping someone could let me in on a little knowledge. I have an xpexplosia sim and due to me using a laptop my memory is eaten when trying to cache the sim as a vdb so I can render it with redshift in cinema. I actually only want 1 frame of the sim. Is there a way to cache only 1 frame? eg- I want the frame at 48 when I have looked in the viewport. I have tried to set start frame at 47 and end at 48. Ive set the efx format to vdb and everything else is set to default except I created a folder on my desktop for the cache to save to. I appreciate your feedback. Edit - Ps hi, this is my first post but I come here because I learn from the discussions here :-)
