Hi everyone,

Currently encountered a situation that while running a pyro sim that it keeps showing i have a low dic space. I have only 250GB and I installed windows, other application and SideEffects Houdini 12 on that drive. I am currently pointing all the pyro sim write to dick on other 3TB drive, but all the Houdini cache it in the Temp folder on my SSD(C:\Users\Wei-Jen Chen\AppData\Local) So I dont know what to do about it. Im siming at 0.04 and it only runs to frame 35 in up res and then the dicks will be full.

Solution is to write pyro to disk in 1-25, 25-50, 50-75 and so on, but im wondering if there is anyways to point that cache to some other folder here? so that my operation disk wont run full.


Thank you all for reading and I will be very much appreciate if that problem can be fixed.

You have 2 choose my friend :

1.turn off “Allow Caching To Disk” in the AutoDopNetwork Parameters

2.change Houdini temp directory to your 3TB drive via below way :

Create Environment Variables in Win7

Variable name: HOUDINI_TEMP_DIR

\\make a directory in your 3TB drive and set variable value to this path for example :

Variable Value : E:\Houdini_temp

and finally restart Houdini

NOTE : I suggest to you that choose second way
