Use Geometry Caches to save Polygon mesh, NURBS (including curves) surface, and Subdivision Surface deformations (skin and non-skin) to a server or local hard drive by caching your object’s deformations to a geometry cache. Geometry caches are special Maya files that store vertex transformation data.
They are useful when you want to reduce the number of calculations Maya performs when playing back or rendering scenes that contain many deforming objects, and they allow you to easily mix and edit your object’s deformations in an intuitive, nonlinear manner.

The gpuCache.mll plug-in must be loaded before GPU Cache appears in the Cache menu.
