In Atoms you can save your simulation on disk using Atoms caches, then it is possible to reuse these caches with the "cacheReader" behaviour module. The Atoms Cache is lightweight and fast and it can increase the performance of your level.
You can also twwak your caches with the cache reader module.
Exporting a cache
Cache Exporter
The cache exporter will export four files per frame:
- header: basic info such as number of agents at the current frame, number of created agents and number of deleted agents
- frame: agent data such as agent type, position, velocity, bbox and variation
- meta: agents metadata
- pose: agent skeleton data
To make the caches more portable, all the agent type files are saved in a subfolder next to your cache files. The cache will also have a file with no padding containing global infos, such as start frame, end frame, agent ids, etc.
Importing a cache
To import a cache from disk, create a new agent group and then attach a cacheReader module. Form the "cachePath" attribute you can set che cache path.
