SolidRocks + Jerome = Awesome

With out a doubt Solid Rocks is the best plugin/script...ever!

I have been in the 3D and Architectural game for over 15 years now and currently work in a very busy bespoke Architectural practice in Melbourne, the one thing that doesn't change... we never seem to have the time to get it just right.... and to play with the endless Vray settings, tweak colours etc is considered a luxury. Time and money is always the dictator...
Moreover, client expectations is constantly evolving, partly fueled by the film and television industries, realistic images and animations are now essential to facilitate the communications between ideas and the end products and to achieve this quickly and efficiently is paramount.
Solid Rocks is arguably the best connection to Vray speeding up the rendering and tweaking process and ensuring very happy clients which translates to faster sign-off's.

Full Kudos to Jerome Prevost for his continual dedication to this great product! :-)

Netrender - Backburner I

Netrender - Backburner

I wonder, is this product support net render option ?

I can see in flythrough seem only local or distributed render support.

Thank you,

that's not a bug !

hi Phokka,
that's not a bug, that's normal !
In Flythrough mode, LC is computed once for the entire animation.
