Light Cache mode control ???

Light Cache mode control ??? was created by Ziggi
While I see "Reuse Irradiance Map" switch what is perfect in case of fly-throughs, I can't see "Reuse Light Cache" what is expected. I simply can't see any feature responsible for Light Caching mode of VRay (Single frame, Fly-through, From file, Progressive path tracing). Why not?
Can you comment

Hi Ziggi!
well the reuse irrad map button is mostly here to help user to gain time if they change point of view.
SolidRocks 0.85 is intended to manage Still renders... that's why. Newbies can be really confused with these options.
BUT : i'm working right now on 1.0, adding 2 new tools : Flythrough wnilm wizard + full anim wizard to help users to manage/render animations with Vray
1.0 progress makes me enthusiast.. i'm made a new modular GUI (takes much less space on screen), corrected and improved gamma stuff.
Actually i'm incorporating anim tools.
note that this 1.0 + anim tools (pro version) will be free of charge for already SR customers

Hmm,
The future of the product looks promising - actually I like SR most as VRay features aggregator (access to all features in one place). I do not really use it as render-parameters setup aid though sure your setup algorythms seem work pretty well, though IMHO are only good starting point to final tweaks and adjustments made manually.
I encurage you to continue SR development, so it doesn't loose its "aggregator" appeal. The worst in Mental Ray is for instance its feature dissipation all over the Max interface, so to setup the easiest scene one needs to jump through dozens of screens and it's damn easy to forget something. VRay is already much compact in this sense, but having SR it's a cream compared to MR.
Rgs,

For Mental Ray there already is something called Photo Studio Pro:
www.infinity-vision.de/PhotoStudio/eng/index.html
I am not aware so much of all features of this script as I stopped doing in Mental Ray some time ago and switched to Vray.
Anyway - have a look prior starting SR for MR to avoid unnecessary effort in case PhotoStudio can do the job already.

Hi, what happened to this ? did it get developed ?
I re-use lightcache when testing to speed things up, but I still can't find any option to use it from SR.
