I have built several computers for my own personal render farm. I am wondering if theres a way to use several computers to bake hair dynamics in a single scene?
Can more than one computer contribute to a cache?
If my scene has a few characters, each with hair dynamics… Can each character’s hair be baked on a different computer and then somehow link to a different cache?
You can try… each frame of a cache is a separate file, so in theory, you should be able to have computer A bake frames 1-50, computer B frames 51-100, and so on, and then combine all those folders into one final cache folder. You’ll probably need a script for this. I’m not sure this will work, but there’s a possibility it will 
Im trying something similar right now. Im baking each character on a different computer. They are currently writing to the same cache folder on a shared network drive at the same time. If that doesn’t work I guess I might have to write to separate folders and then copy paste them afterwards.
