Method
The Clone Cache node allows baking of cloner animations to disk, and playback of baked cloner animations.
Clone caches playback deterministically with minimal resources required for simulation.

| When the baking is finished the effectors can be disabled. |
Step 1
Prepare your clone scene with cloners, affectors.
Step 2
Add the _clone cache _ node and connect the output of the cloner that uses affector to the input of the _clone cache.
Step 3
In clone cache node click on the“bake now” button and choose file destination, and baking rate.
Step 4
Once the baking is finished you can disable all affectors.

Notes
Cloner baking can generate very large files . The frame per second, complexity, numbers of clones will influence the size of the baking file.
