Hi,in my generator I use op->CheckCache(hh) to make sure, the generator's cache is valid. If so, I just return the cache instead of calculation everything again. So far, so good.
Now the problem:
I have my generator in a scene in Cinema. Cache is valid, everything fine (I checked in the debugger). Now I open another scene in Cinema. OK. And now I use the Window menu to get back to the scene with my generator.
All of a sudden, CheckCache() returns another value. Why?Also, the SDK documentation sais, GetCache() should return TRUE if the cache is valid. For me, it always returns FALSE if I have a cache. Only after changing the scene (as described above) it returns TRUE. Why??
Thanks for any help!
Greetings,
Jack

Ideas, anybody? Why is the Cache suddenly invalid after changing to another document?

Yes, I would expect that the cache is invalid(freed) due to a decision from the memory management. Imagine a scene allocates half of your memory, so if you create a new document (or open a new document) this memory should be freed otherwise your memory would blow up per each document.
Don't know if there is an option to prevent this deallocation but I wouldn't recommend that at all.
