I stumbled across a problem and need help.
ops: I played around a little bit with dynamics and fluids and wanted to settle my fluid sim before I'd continue doing other stuff with it.
So after my fluid settled down, I used a file node to write out that frame as a .sim and used it as the initial state inside the AutoDopNetwork node.
When I go back to frame 1, everything seems fine. The state of the fluids is where I need them.
But when I now try to introduce a rigid body object (sphere) to my Dop network, it gets ignored (invisible).
I guess it's because when I wrote out the .sim file, it wasn't included at that time. So now, on the initial frame the DOP network is not aware of that sphere.
When I dive into the sphere node, I see a warning on the dopimport1 node. It says “No DOP object names specified”.
What does that mean? How can I fix it?
Since I'm not sure where I want to go with the sim, it's impossible for me to foresee all possible RDB objects that I might need in the future. This is purely for testing purposes. But I need to somehow safe an initial state of my water before I can continue.
Any advice, tips?
cheers,
Daniel
