Solid Rocks

[glorybound]

It seems to have been broken in the latest v-ray build (3.20.01). Can anyone verify?

[AndresAhumada]

yep!!! its broke!

[glorybound]

Okay, thanks for confirming.

[vlado]

Hm, I don't think we actually did any breaking changes... is there any error message?

Best regards,

It doesn't load and the UI's dropdowns are empty.

The 'SolidRocks is starting...' just sits there and never starts.

[glorybound]

and when you kill it, you get this error

[vlado]

Ok, then it would be best to contact the developers. I'm comparing the parameters and we haven't made any booleans into integers this time, so not sure where this comes from.

Best regards,

Have you heard anything? Would be interested in hearing how it works with 3.2. I looked on Solidrocks forum, but it doesn't seem he answers peoples questions much.

[glorybound]

He said to check the site at the end of the week.

He used to be really responsive, but yes lately, not so much. However, after a couple days, he did answer my email.

Such a great program!

Would be cool if he had it setup for VRay RT rendering and Vray RT production rendering. I heard its only good for Vray adv

in the case of Vray RT, i cant see the point of solidrocks at all. there are very few settings, and you just leave it going until your image looks nice. hardly needs a setup assistant.

To be honest when ive tried solidrocks, ive found the interface more confusing than the normal vray one. Plus it changes literally every setting in vray, so going in to edit/fine tune what its done, is fiddly to say the least.

now we have the progressive sampler, and a handful of "set and forget" configs for vray that leave you with only 2 or 3 parameters to adjust, it just seems a bit.. well, lets just say its not for me.
