Advanced tools: GUI switcher for power users

Simply click on the (Adv. tools) button, and solidrocks extends its interface to show you more tools; like Shared light cache tool, Distributed Rendering, Clay tool, and the new "Perfect direct Caustics" tool.

 

In this example you can see a preview showing the "Perfect direct Caustics" in action.

 

The extended GUI shows in real time the essential V-Ray settings changing when the user changes the resolution and / or adjusts the desired quality.

This view provides a global overview of Vray settings, and helps new V-Ray users to learn the most important settings in V-Ray to deal with quality and render times.
