Re: Particle simualtions and time-warping?

[Ciaran Moloney]

Are you comfortable time warping the cache rather than the live simulation?
Is so, that's pretty easy.

Sorry for the rather shameless self-promotion, but LK Lightning handles
stuff like that like a charm. No caching needed whatsoever.

If you are already locked into something else, I found that using an
average of the last and current cached frame can allow you to get away with
a lot less simulated frames, as long as it is a smooth animation.
If you need a lot of jittery motion in slow-mo this probably won't work
though.

I guess you need to make your own simulation node to replace the factory
one and output deltaTime parameter which is directly influences on
simulation time. I have builded something like that a while ago and there
are possible some glitches with usage of SimulateFrameFraction attribute,
but for my purposes it was enough. Maybe it can help - just plug it instead
of Simulate particles node.
