Hi the render looks great. However as i understand it you have a GTX1050 card which is a 3GB VRAM or less. Please can you provide a screenshot of a rendering similar to below with the DAZ progression bar as i find it extremely hard to believe you've done it in 1min with that hardware.
Ive read somewhere where you said adding a few more props and characters your DAZ crashes which makes this 1min claim difficult to believe.
If you can do it in 1min then please share your Render settings to us all so we can also benefit from it.
thank you
You're right, 1 minute isn't my fastest, it's actually 48 seconds.
I don't do all of this in Daz using Iray. So you need Daz, Octane for Daz Studio, and Octane standalone to do all this.
1. So first I pose in Daz, that one's essential.
2. Then I use different shaders for clothing and hair as needed (all within Daz).
3. Depending on the character (some skins and hair need more tweaking than others) I set the shaders settings (opacities, diffuse or glossy or specular, index of reflection, etcetera)
4. I start rendering using Octane for Daz Studio to build geometries (this part is essential if you don't build the geometries it will be invisible for the next part).
5. Export an '.ocs' to Octane Standalone. I do this because it renders faster than the plug-in and you can keep posing in Daz.
6. Import in Octane Standalone (you can tweak the environment, lighting, and camera here with a live viewport where you can see changes immediately). You just need to know how Node Graphs work, and start your render target.
The computer has original parts, I did add the GTX 1050 Graphics Card, 16 GB Ram, and PSU (fan to keep up with the card).
Here is one I only ran for 48 seconds with 2 figures and 2 hair props in a low-light setting. This would take a long time in Iray. I can still post my render settings, but unless you have the Octane plug-in for Daz Studio and Octane Standalone it won't mean much.
I'm not sure if my laziness seems like ingenuity, but I really just used trial and error to whittle down my times because I don't feel like batch rendering (I like to be in control)
. I'm kind of afraid to get a better graphics card cause this one seems pretty fast, though I do wish it could handle larger scenes.
