How does Deadline handle Maya particles?

Can anyone please tell me how Deadline handles Maya particle disc cache data? I am wanting to know how this is moved around the network - is it copied to client machines by the server?



Thanks!

Hi Chris,



The best approach would be to cache the particle data to a network drive. That way, all slaves have access to the data without having the cache data itself copied to the individual client machines.

Thanks for that Ryan. That gives me some ideas on how to proceed.
