Multiple force fields worked before but not anymore

Hello guys!

For some time I have been working on an animation film for my graduation. In this animation I have a bundle of spheres as rigid bodies. They react to a negative force field, turbulence field and vortex field. Somehow only the negative force field works and the other 2 stopped reacting with the spheres (even if I put them on really high strengths). It seems that if I add any new force field it also doesn’t have any effect on the rigid bodies. However when I open a fresh new blend file and add the force fields + spheres it all seems fine and they react as needed. I am kind of desperate in finding a solution and I think it is a bit too late to redo the physics and animation now.

Does anybody have an idea what could be the problem? Thanks in advance!

Okay I have found the reason why. When you free all bakes you have to manipulate something in your scene (can be moving the timeline cursor) and only then will the cache data be overwritten. After that you can bake all dynamics again otherwise it will bake the old cache data. I really didn’t know this so apparently I was using cache data from couple days back over and over again. Problem solved :slight_smile:
