Can i freeze Ring Buffer?

[psychodalien]

Hello! My question is can i somehow "freeze" contents of Ring Buffer or Buffer node so I can have them stored as an array of elements for further use? Because Ring Buffer node is constantly refreshing, I can't do it, or maybe I'm not that experienced in Wire.

You would need textures at event flow for this.
This is currently not possible, but on our roadmap.

To "freeze" a frame you can use a feedback loop like this:

I'd rather need to have access to arbitrary frames from the collection. Thanks for advice, anyway.

[psychodalien]

Glad to hear it's on your Roadmap. The option to record frames would be great!

You can build a custom texture buffer using Write with feedback.
Then eithere shift the buffer or change which slot you write to, chaning the instance count of the delay node defines the buffer size.

Thank you, I'll look into it to see how can i incorporate it into my effect.
