Precalculated GI

[Luma3d]

Back in tfhe day, I was able to calculate the gi, save to a file and use that file to render out my animations faster and flicker free. Is that not a thing anymore with Vray 7?

You can still precalculate both the (depreciated) Irradiance map and Light Cache to be used at a later stage. Both GI engines have a Save to File button; to use the file afterward, you switch the Mode to "From file". Documentation pages are located here and here. In V-Ray 7, however, the Irradience map is deprecated and should not be used.
