Changing particle chache startingtime?
I was wondering if I can change the staringtime for the disk cache playback?
What I want to do is to take the cached particles and decide by entering a frame value when the simulation should start.
I have tried to bake the cached particles but maya crashed displaying the many hundreds of thousand of keyframes. Can I control the playback starting time in an easy way?
I´m using MAYA6.5.
Thank You.
Daniel.

Maybe there is an easyer way, but what I did was this:
I broke the conection between the time nodes OutTime and the cached particleShape nodes CurrentTime.
I then connected the time nodes OutTime to an PlusMinusAverage node and the PlusMinusAverage nodes output to the cached particleShape nodes CurrentTime.
Now I can adjust the startingframe by addig or subtracting a value to the PlusMinusAvarage node.
