Important

This feature is experimental. To use this feature, open the Preferences window, go to the Visual Effects tab, and enable Experimental Operators/Blocks.

Menu Path : Operator > Utility > Point Cache

The Point Cache Operator exposes the attribute maps and the point count stored into a Point Cache asset.

Operator settings

Setting	Type	Description
Asset	Point Cache asset	The point cache asset this Operator references.

Operator properties

Based on the Asset, the number of AttributeMap outputs changes to match the number of attributes stored inside the Point Cache asset

Output	Type	Description
Point Count	uint	The number of values stored inside the Point ache asset.
AttributeMap : <attribute> (multiple)	Texture2D	The Attribute Map (Texture2D) containing values.

Remarks

If the attribute this Operator is trying to read from has not been written to, it returns the default standard value for its type.

You can use the Point Cache Bake Tool provided by VFX Graph to generate point cache from meshes or textures.
