smartCache lets you quickly and easily cache parts of your nodes tree with a one button click solution. You don’t need to set up anything manually anymore - fire and forget.
smartCache offers a window that shows you all cache nodes in your current working file. You can easily navigate to these and bulk switch from live view to cached view with a simple button click. And render/re-render caches as well as checking several cache validities in one go. smartCache lets you easily and (if configured) automatically check if all your caches are still up to date. It detects when some changes were done upstream on a frame by frame basis. On any change you can then easily update your out of date cached frames - either by rendering them locally or sending them to smartRender to render them multi threaded in the background.
The cache node itself is light-weight and does not contain any knobChanged callbacks, so your working file is ensured to stay fast.
