realflow into maya timeline

how to you go about making your realflow simulation start at a frame other then frame 1??? any help is appreatiated!!! :)

I would take my simulation that I importet in maya and would use the graph editor. You should sie the curve of the animation in front of you here and by dragging over the complete animtation cuve and moving it with the middle mouse butten you can advance the simulation to a frame of your choice. You can hold down shift and middle mouse button click and pull things to the right side to make sure your not changing any values exept for the start time.

Another quick way would be to select the importet objects wich has keyframes on each frame and in the timeline on the bottom of maya simply double click it wich should turn it red and use the arrow controls wich show up and move them to to a frame of your choice.

Hope that Helps you out a bit or some bytes ;)


Hope that helps
