In order to address some of these issues and bring more visibility to the changes for those who want/need it, we are now splitting these posts off into their own thread. This same information would also then be reposted when a Public Build was eventually promoted to General Release. In many cases, while the information contained within the posts was/is useful to those that want/need it, it seemed to go unread by many. Since the release of Daz Studio that followed the initial introduced NVIDIA Iray in Daz Studio ( 4.8 - initial introduction, 4.9 - following release), a list of its changes have typically been made available in the posts that immediately follow the announcement. It has nice highlights, a decent render time, and seems to perform well.When a new build of Daz Studio includes a new version of the NVIDIA Iray renderer, the new build of the renderer comes with its own set of bug fixes, new features, adjustments to existing features, etc. Here is the basic IC6 render (with low rez texture maps) that will suffice as a platform for me in my initial attempts to animate. I could have let it run a lot longer – but I am impatient and want to know HOW quickly can I get work out. This purple haired lady is only at 39% of render strength before I stopped the output (approx. I love the detail available and with some judicious use of camera and framing, I think this may be a winner for me – just not as a continual animated film.
Again, for illustration or comic book/graphic novel settings, this may be ideal. Here is another IRay render using a Toon Based Model in a photo-real setting. The IC6 render engine offers some nice looks – and with some tweaking I believe I can find a nice balance. The goal is to find a balance between speed of render and quality. I can adjust the reflection Maps as needed – and this is the default engine used by Daz – to create a faster output. Here’s the same model using Daz’s 3D Delight render engine – and the skin tones are nice – but the highlights are too bold (in the eyes). The amount of time required (without a battery of RAM or a Render Farm) would mean that I rendering until my deathbed for a finished short film equaling this quality. The downside is that this is too CPU intensive for animating at 30 fps. As you can see, the photo-real quality is quite strong with the skin tones, textures and highlights all emulating the calibre and quality of a high-end render platform. Here’s a NVidia Iray Render at about 90% completion.
There’s a lot to like with NVidia as the render capacity jumps us substantially in both quality (and time required).
As I changed my working platform to a PC environment (and having to adjust to the various PC specific quirks), I wanted to get under the hood with the new IRay Render option offered to me as I have a NVidia video card on this gaming PC. I’ve been using Daz Studio for a number of years in collaboration with Poser software for animations and illustrations.
