Testing out Daz Studio 4.8 with Iray. Iray is a GPU accelerated render engine, meaning it uses the computer's CPU and graphics card to render out images. The results are pretty nice, and the time it takes to render isn't bad either. This render took roughly 23 minutes.

It has a learning curve though. Ive been playing with it all day and this was only 1 of a handful of successful renders. But this is what I have determined so far:

Pros:
Faster than Luxrender
Good quality
Can handle larger scenes

Cons
Currently unable to render hair (due to the hair program I use)
Slower than 3Delight

One reason I think its going so slow is because my graphic's card isn't anything special. Its a GT630M I think, 1 GB of memory. If I want it to go faster, or if I want to use other GPU accelerated/GPU only engines (Like Octane) I need a bigger card.

I've thought about offering this quality rendering as a commission option. It would be more expensive due to the render time and extra setup, but that extra money would go straight into savings for a newer computer. I need to learn the program a bit better before I do any commissions with it.
