File Name Prefix

Here it is possible to add a custom prefix, character combination or name that will be added in front of any particle file. 

Frame/Extension order

You can choose from a selection of 4 options:

  • name.#.ext

  • name.ext.#

  • name#.ext (default)

  • name_#.ext

“Frame/Extension order” stands for the particle source’s name, e.g. "Circle04" and “#” is the current frame. “ext” is the abbreviation for extension, for example BIN or RPC.

Padding size

The number defines the format for frames (#) within a filename. Each frame will be prefixed with leading nulls to establish a five-digit number, for example 00004 or 00212. A complete file name would look like this: Circle04_00026.bin

We recommend that you leave the default setting of 5, because some 3D programs and plugins have trouble reading files with different paddings. In these cases it is probably not possible to import simulation data.
