Hey there, in the Resources of the lecture What’s Next? - Exploring the Example Scene there is a cache.zip download. Most of the folders within are empty except for data and config. Whats the purpose of these files or is there any purpose for us students?
Thanks!
I took a look at it, and if I had to guess, it’s a smoke simulation. I could be wrong, but it’s some sort of voxelized data over time.; it’s full of .vdb files.
I would agree with this as the candles have some smoke coming from them so would suggest that its the cached data from rendering that simulation out.
Thats got to be it. I also saw a Cache Result option in the render properties, maybe thats what this is. Thanks @zeRgenTa and @Marc_Carlyon !

The cache is the fire simulation that is in the fireplace, I cahced it and saved so students wouldn’t have to simulate it themselves as it can be pretty time consuming.
The smoke in the candles is just a cheat! It’s an image of smoke on black thats just been alpha-ed out
