Enable | resim_resimulate_grid – Enables/disables the grid resimulation. Use this option when the grid detail has to be improved by increasing the resolution, by eventually adding wavelet turbulence, or if you need to re-time your simulation using Time Bend effects. The resimulation will produce the exact same result as the base simulation only with Steps per Frame = 1 in the Dynamics rollout. With a higher number of steps, the intermediate steps cannot be reconstructed, so full simulation is needed.

Amp. Resolution | resim_ampres – Magnifies the grid resolution. A value of 0.0 means no change, 1.0 means doubling the voxel amount in all axes (2*2*2=8 times the resolution), 2.0 means tripling (3*3*3=27 times the resolution), etc. Non-integer values can also be entered, however, they are slightly slower to calculate. The resolution can also be decreased by using a negative value.

Amp. Method | resim_ampmeth – When the grid resolution is increased, this parameter specifies which method to use to sample the velocity.

Interpolate – Use interpolation. The velocity channel is stretched from the lower resolution to the increased one.
Wavelet Fast – Use wavelet turbulence to synthesize fine detail. Needs a Wavelet channel exported from the base simulation. This is a slightly faster approximation method.
Wavelet Nice – Use wavelet turbulence to synthesize fine detail. Needs a Wavelet channel exported from the base simulation.

Wavelet Strength | resim_wvstr – Specifies the strength of the wavelet turbulence.

Wavelet Cutoff | resim_wvcut – Turbulence with smaller amplitude will be cut off to reduce calculation time.

No-Export Channels | resim_tmpchan – Specifies the channels that are used just for resimulation, which will not be exported to the resimulation output cache. For example, for wavelet turbulence, removing the UVW/Wavelet and Velocity channels from the final simulation will reduce the cache size.
