Cache settings
|
|
|
|
|
|
Multi-user allows you to replicate external dependencies such as images (textures, hdris, etc...), movies, and sounds.
|
|
On each client, the files will be stored in the multi-user cache folder.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**Cache directory** choose where cached files (images, sound, movies) will be saved.
|
|
|
|
**Clear memory filecache** will save memory space at runtime by removing the file content from memory as soon as it has been written to the disk.
|
|
|
|
**Clear cache** will remove all files from the cache folder.
|
|
|
|
.. warning:: Clearing the cache could break your scene images/movies/sounds if they are used in a blend file! Try saving the blend file and choosing 'Pack all into blend' before clearing the cache.
