Hi guys, I'm doing something wrong, but don't know what.
I want curvy deformation blur on my particle sim so I set the substeps on my popnet to 4. When I set my deformation samples to 4 on my mantra rop and render everything looks fine.
The problem comes when I cache the particles to disk. I set my increment value to 0.25 because I figure 4 substeps per frame is equal to a 0.25 increment. Mantra crashes. I've also tried a 0.2 increment on my rop with not luck.
What's up?
Mantra not calculating deformation samples

To be honest, I'm not the right person to ask but if you set your deformation samples to 4 on the Mantra ROP, doesn't that mean it'll write out 4 samples to the IFD for each frame already? You can test this rendering few frames and see if the motion blur is what you expect? I'm not sure I follow the need to change the frame increment. And again, please submit your IFD if it crashes Mantra.
