|
> This feature is experimental. To use this feature, open the **Preferences** window, go to the **Visual Effects** tab, and enable **Experimental Operators/Blocks**.

Menu Path : **Operator > Utility > Point Cache**

|
|
|

|
|
The **Point Cache** Operator exposes the attribute maps and the point count stored into a [Point Cache asset](point-cache-asset.md).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Operator settings

|
||
|
|
| **Asset** | Point Cache asset | The point cache asset this Operator references. |
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Operator properties
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Based on the **Asset**, the number of AttributeMap outputs changes to match the number of attributes stored inside the Point Cache asset
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
| **Output** | **Type** | **Description** |
|
||
|
|
| ------------------------------------------ | --------- | -------------------------------------------------------- |
|
||
|
|
| **Point Count** | uint | The number of values stored inside the Point ache asset. |
|
||
|
|
| **AttributeMap : \<attribute> (multiple)** | Texture2D | The Attribute Map (Texture2D) containing values. |
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Remarks
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If the attribute this Operator is trying to read from has not been written to, it returns the default standard value for its type.

You can use the [Point Cache Bake Tool](point-cache-bake-tool.md) provided by VFX Graph to generate point cache from meshes or textures.
