Hello,

I am super new with Houdini. I have a simple muscle setup and I cooked around 400 frames. However only the last 50 frames or so are cooked and the ones from 1 to 290 are all gone?? I can only see the cooked blue section.

Is there a settings or something I can do? So I can see the entire cooked timeline and not just the last frames (and yes I waited to cook everything).

Thanks!

That blue bar represents the window into your physical memory cache. It defaults to 5Gb. You can expand it to use more of your physical ram, but a better approach it so write your simulation out to a dedicated file sequence using the FileCache node. Check the help card. Once you have a file cache, you can scrub the simulation much quicker, and not have to "re-cook" every time.
