Description Hi All,

With the introduction of Studio's recent introduction of their Beta version of Daz Studio 4.8...
I decided to try out the new IRAY render engine that was introduced along with their standard 3Delight render engine.
I have to thank and her wonderful intro to using IRAY... which otherwise would have warranted massive time wastage into just testing and understanding how it works.  Please check her youtube video which is extremely informative! ( youtu.be/L5FZ5gS9v50 )

Anyway, this models I posed is not new and previously I used Luxrender to test this picture...
See here - 

You can compare and see just how good this new awesome engine is.
So I have fallen in love with the render engine!  And best of all... it is free!
Let me know what you all think.

Daz Studio 4.8 Beta
IRAY render engine - using 2 lights only. - Spot and Point.
Minor fliters in Photoshop... other than that, it is the render engine's own amazing capability.  Thanks DAZ.

i love the realism. Every hair is visible, also the stumbles on their bald heads. I am looking forward to more of this.

Well I must confess that the textures were really well made and that helped a lot.

Say something, I'm giving up on you-LYRICS-YOKOKY 
 "Say Something"
Say something, I'm giving up on you
I'll be the one if you want me to
Anywhere I would've followed you
Say something, I'm giving up on you
And I... am feeling so small
It was over my head
I know nothing at all
And I... will stumble and fall
I'm still learning to love
Just starting to crawl
Say something, I'm giving up on you
I'm sorry that I couldn't get to you
Anywhere I would've followed you
Say something, I'm giving up on you
And I... will swallow my pride
You're the one that I love
And I'm saying goodbye
Say something, I'm giving up on you
And I'm sorry that I couldn't get to you
And anywhere I would've followed you (Oh-Ooh)
Say something, I'm giving up on you
Say something, I'm giving up on you
Say something...      thought of you-LYRICS-Snordster wAgain I am raging, I am in such a state by your soul that every
bond you bind, I break, by your soul.
I am like heaven, like the moon, like a candle by your glow; I am all
reason, all love, all soul, by your soul.
My joy is of your doing, my hangover of your thorn; whatever
side you turn your face, I turn mine, by your soul.
I spoke in error; it is not surprising to speak in error in this
state, for this moment I cannot tell cup from wine, by your soul.
I am that madman in bonds who binds the "divs"; I, the madman,
am a Solomon with the "divs", by your soul.
Whatever form other than love raises up its head from my
heart, forthwith I drive it out of the court of my heart, by your soul.
Come, you who have departed, for the thing that departs
comes back; neither you are that, by my soul, nor I am that, by your soul.
Disbeliever, do not conceal disbelief in your soul, for I will recite
the secret of your destiny, by your soul. thanks so very much-yokoky-kay

Great looking render.  I'm curious, didn't you do anything special with the texture in order to get the specular highlights?  I'm trying but not getting that any solid results there.

AOGRAI In reply to ccolbertemg [2015-05-24 23:17:11 +0000 UTC]

No specular lights were used as at that time, it did not register in iray. I played around with translucency and gloss, after converting texture to uber iray shader.

There is also good textures and not so great textures... And also the beta version keeps updating and I find at times the tools now vary in its capabilities. Now you can have distant light acting as photometric lights, you can choose specular too. So I guess rules have changed and you should really play around with it until you are satisfied.

I really like the skin texture here. Am still fiddling with iray although it has a bit of recognition of nvidia chips on Macs. I have to rely solely on CPU.

Pendraia [2015-03-18 07:40:52 +0000 UTC]

Lovely...I think I actually like the skin in iRay a bit better. If I had to say why I think it's because in the Lux render the skin appears dryer and in the iRay one it looks more moist and has more highlights. I also think the background in the iRay one gives it more atmosphere and make it seem more real.

AOGRAI In reply to Pendraia [2015-03-19 05:11:14 +0000 UTC]

Thank you.  Your observation is quite right, although an expert in Luxrender may be able to do just as well or better.
Low light is still a problem as I tend to get a lot of noise in the render.  Still need to learn from my mistakes.

AOGRAI In reply to BARNS-w-ALLOW [2015-03-19 05:09:03 +0000 UTC]

LOL! That is one way of looking at it... but yeah it is fun fiddling, but not all textures will turn out as good, it is better is the textures are all ready in SS mode.
If not there is a way to work around it by making it SS with V6 material shader and ignoring the maps by holding the Command or Control key when double clicking on the shader.

AOGRAI In reply to Art-By-Cajun-Beauty [2015-03-19 05:05:51 +0000 UTC]

You mean the std package of the models? Yes, you need to update that because they have a button to convert the current texture shaders to become applicable with the IRAY.
This is only necessary if you intend to use Iray.  Please have a look at the basic youtube from as she is amazing at her breakdown and analysis!
O talking about her... she must be having hiccups! LOL!

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

AOGRAI In reply to artdude41 [2015-03-17 16:15:57 +0000 UTC]

It took me about an hour to render... but took me the most of 24hrs to learn about the lighting and skin texture that was just right.  Different textures work slightly differently.
I think the more figures you have the longer it takes to process the whole light to texture computation behind it I guess.

CakeOne [2015-03-16 19:46:57 +0000 UTC]

This is truly an amazing work of art. I can't tell you how impressed i am, and how this images moves me... The fray renderer (and the way you uses it) really adds to the images as i have to say it's far more warm and touching than the lux version. Well done !

AOGRAI In reply to CakeOne [2015-03-17 16:13:35 +0000 UTC]

Thank you so much.  I am still learning and I hope to improve as I delve further into Iray.  I need to see what else all the others have discovered too so that I can learn from the Masters.

Well for me it was a diff of about 5hrs. Took me about an hour plus to complete the final render. Took me about 6hrs in reality. Although, if I were to try uber/advanced ambient lighting, I wonder if there is going to be any diff.

OK.  So I found your problem.  That video card sucks, and mobile to boot.  You need an upgrade my friend.

My home PC has 2 Asus Strix GTX 980's.  Athough I use Octane, the performance should be in the same ballpark.  For that render and resolution, you should be able to hit 10 minutes of total render time or less with ease.  The speed does make a difference in that it reduces time goofing around testing stuff.

AOGRAI In reply to FluffyBush [2015-03-17 16:21:25 +0000 UTC]

Man I can't afford the upgrade as this is about only... hmmm 2yrs old?
I guess I will trudge along with the iMac until I can afford a Mac Pro, and when they put in an Nvidia Card, currently they have gone for AMD graphics card, which I believe the Iray is not happy to work with other than an Nvidia card.
