Hi Gabe,

Thanks for the file.

The bottleneck is in the Multi-Group. See the analytics below with 15 million particles, which are an added workload. I'm unclear if the Multi Group pulls the data from the GPU back into the CPU here. Perhaps test your scene to see if Caching will help. My laptop here will not show your performance, I assume.

I have copied the Color Mapper and the Advection to each Group. Please take a look. I do not have the capacity here to render many tests. Sorry.

Enjoy your weekend

This sounds great, Gabe Gonzales, I love to hear that it works for you.

My best wishes for your project

Hi Gabe Gonzales,

Thanks for the file.

The two Bend Deformers are each (separately) set up so that they would keep the Geometry-like paper.

However, they no longer work on a sheet of paper; the second one works like a tube. With this, the bend will either squeeze or stretch a certain part of this "Object".

There is no solution for that with two bend Deformers nor in reality. The second one starts working on an object that has a volume.

What you need to do is a single option to deform. Many joints might be the answer if the target is a multiple-curved object. Going by the extended timeline setting, it feels like you stopped very early. Suggesting something at that point makes me wonder if any suggestion will result in an "but later that wouldn't work...

Do you have any way to share the complete animation idea, e.g., via storyboard?

Cheers

P.S.:

I do no know if that is helping much compared to the suggestions above.
Here is a short intro (20sec)

Here is the file, and the Null object with the tag can be stored in the Asset browser or merged to an existing scene. (Delete the Oil Tank before storing it)

Enjoy

You're very welcome, Gabe Gonzales.

My best wishes for your project

Hi Gabe Gonzales,

I have no idea about your set up. So, please let me know what is working or what is not.

All the best

Hi max1e,

Thanks for the question. The situation has not changed, as before, and with the version released on Wednesday this week.

The only way to cache is with all frames before they need to be calculated; the RS Volume allows them to reload and offset the range if needed.

Please open a "ticket" with the "Share your Idea" here:
https://www.maxon.net/en/support-center

I indeed will support anything in this direction.

Cheers
