DisposeRenderingCache

Description

Disposes of the rendering cache, including materials, shaders and internal rendering data, to free some memory space.

Note: The rendering cache is disposed of automatically by Softimage. Depending on the user settings for rendering (File > User Preferences > Rendering), the rendering cache can be set to empty after a render pass, after a frame preview, or when closing a render region.

Examples

VBScript Example

' ===============================================================================
'   Note: There is no scripting equivalent of setting user preferences for 
'         rendering, so first you need to disable the Empty Rendering Cache >
'         After Render Pass option (see File > User Preferences > Rendering)
'         and then run this script:
' ===============================================================================
' Create a new scene 
NewScene , false

' Add a cone with some animation
Set oCone = CreatePrim( "Cone", "MeshSurface" )
SaveKey oCone & ".kine.local.posx," _
   & oCone & ".kine.local.posy," _
   & oCone & ".kine.local.posz", _
   1
SetValue "PlayControl.Key", 3
SetValue "PlayControl.Current", 3
Translate oCone, _
