Please advice. This has troubled me for years and I never knew how to explain what I was trying to do. 
 

i have already looked into topics on other forums but i did not find a solution that helps me with my problem.

I have set everything in DAZ Studio to render with my RTX 2070 Super does not take the rendering part.

First the CPU goes up to 100 % usage while it is writing the task, normally it goes back down to a minimum of 10-20 % to support DAZ.
But sometimes it just stays at 100 % usage and is rendering the scene, this takes than for an eternity 2-4 hours to finish. (instead of 15-30 Minutes)

Currently i am working on a scene again that only the CPU will render and i don´t know why.

Has anyone got IRAY GPU rendering to work in DAZ Studio 4.11 Pro on macOS Mojave with an NVIDIA card? I’m on a late 2013 27” iMac with a GTX 780M 4GB VRAM. That's an NVIDIA card, so it should work, correct? It's not an eGPU, so it's supported natively by macOS, and DAZ Studio should support it too as a result, right?

Under Render Settings > Advanced > Hardware, I’m only seeing the CPU for Photoreal Devices and Interactive Devices. It takes forever to even render a simple scene in the viewport in IRAY preview mode.

I don’t have CUDA web drivers installed because there are none available at this time for macOS Mojave.

What do I have to do in order to get DAZ to use my GPU for IRAY on my iMac? Do I have to roll back to an earlier DAZ Studio version? Perhaps roll back to an earlier macOS version too?

Thank you in advance.

I was a poser user for years and had just started using Daz before my hyatus. 8 years later a lot has changed. Im actually still running the same rig from when i stopped

FX2 phenom 6 core 3.2 ghz 16gb ram asus 990fx mobo.Handels what i need it to do but my question is video card. I run a quadro k1200 for my display card and a second in tcc mode for rendering. they are both 4 gb cards which is small for iray. if i were to add an 8 gb quadro m4000 to the mix would it help? Or am i limited by my smallest card for iray rendering.so if i try and render 6gb of vram it would fall back to the cpu correct??

I find this a bit odd how I have 6 GB of VRAM and with the Iray statistics showing I use a total of ~2GB (check out screenshot) and when I check out the dedicated memory used it's 5.8GB/6 all from DAZ Studio. While I'm editing the scene using Texture Shader, I sit around using 700 MBs, so theoretically I should only be using 2.8 GB of VRAM not 5.8GB. Where are the 3 GB's coming from? Also, I noticed that after rendering (whether finished or not), DAZStudio.exe is stuck with 2.8 GB of RAM (which would explain the 3 GB, but why and where?) and it stays there whether I create a new scene, purge memory, it stays unless I close the application. I am currently using DAZ Studio 4.12.1.118 Pro.

Above is the screenshot of a scene using an estimate of 2 GB  of memory consumption.

Above is a screenshot of my GPU memory from Task Manager WHILE rendering the scene. 

Above is a screenshot of DAZ Studio consuming 778 MB of VRAM prior to rendering while using "Texture Shaded" in the viewport.

Above is a screenshot of DAZ Studio consuming 2.9GB of VRAM after rendering (whether finished or not).

First, I configured the rendering system by connecting two graphic cards with NVLINK.

I think hardware connection, Nvidia control panel configuration and  DAZ rendering hardware setup was fine.

During rendering, it turns out that only the CPU is working but the GPU are not working in the Windows Task Manager performance monitoring.

Looking at the log file, I think it was done with GPU, but I'm not sure if it fits.

I attached the log file up to the rendering process. There is rendering related information at the bottom. 

I'm wondering if the GPU rendering is correct and if the rendering speed comes up to my hardware performance.

And compared to my computer performance (AMD 3700X, 32G Ram, Nvme 500G 2 Raid 0 configuration, 2070 Super Dual NV Link)

Program loading speed or item loading speed seems to be too slow.

Even in the process of loading a simple character, the message "Not responding" is always displayed.

It takes about 30 seconds for the viewport to appear in texture shade mode.

If you look at the log file, there is a lot of Warnning messages in the middle of the program startup, but I don't know if it matters.

Anyway, please advice

Any help would be appreciated!

They dont show up in the figure/other categories, i have to select all categories in order to see them, it makes finding them pretty difficult, not to mention the base dont even load in, so i cant use the rest.

When i open one of the products, they dont have in-built categories either (they just have an "all files" and a "lost and found option")

Any help is appreciated, thanks.

   WARNING: /src/dzpostgresqlobjectdatabase.cpp(37): db fetch error: Attempt to convert null to long long

It happens on a small number of products, and there are usually multiple WARNING lines of this type before it reports that the product was installed successfully.

Is this anything I need to worry about, or is it a transient error that can be safely ignored? And if it does indicate an actual problem, what's the best way to resolve it?

I suppose some other morph is causing this ........ It's probably a morph I use often since I have this problem often. I'll try backing off other morphs and see if this problem improves.

It has thunderbolt 3, and  I've read using that may improve rendering perfomrance.   I will also use this as a gaming machine, so don't want to destroy gaming performance if I were to move to a thunderbolt look.   Does using thunderbolt speed render times since it offloads a bit of the video card work?

Rundown of my hardware

Ryzen 7 1800x - (Not overclocking)

32GB DDR4

1TB SSD and about 15 assorted data drives running SATA and USB3

GTX 1660Ti video 6gb

About 40 purchased models from Daz3d.com

I'm sure that doesn't help much at all, but I keep drivers up to date, I watch my cpu for throttling and most of the crashes don't even happen during render, mostly just using Daz

I'm running a high end liquid cooler and have a temp monitor, it never even dips into the higher end.

It's frustrating because I find Daz helpful for basic dForce, and smaller animations - But lately I've been keeping the app closed. I have completely cleaned this thing out and also installed it on a second machine. (and downloaded a new binary) - I am seeing the same issues on both systems.

Doubt anyone can help, but please by the love of all that is holy, let me know any input you think would be useful for what to try next 

First my Dforce would stop at 0% and would freeze the whole program.  Trying to fix that I tried a lot of things (including on doubling my RAM to 16GB from 8GB)

Nothing worked, been on the forum, Windows help and ect and made my problem worse somehow because now it takes about 20 minutes to load a figure.

Today I noticed that I have DazStudio installed on my C drive and my F drive (both internal...but the F has 5TB)

Could this be causing any of my issues?

Also on trying to reinstall the installation freezes up a Content Manager.

Any help would be appreciated.

My next step is buy a new PC to get my Daz fix on!

I'm not how they appeard and seeing them there bugs the tar out of me.  Heck I'd even happily reload them if it made them work

Thanks

Changing the setting definitely has an impact upon the emitted light but I can't quite work out what exactly it is changing and barely anything comes up when I search online. Can someone explain what it does please?

Thank you

Anyone know a good tutorial on this?

Is it possible to export or bake out a dForce simulation or animation so that it can be carried into an FBX (or another format) to be imported into another app like Cinema 4D?

Thank you!

The problem is, i move the package to the download folder of the DIM, it does in fact appear in my list like this: https://i.imgur.com/4KT4zRB.png

But when i try to install it this popup happens: https://i.imgur.com/7J0fXDZ.png

Leaving me unable to chose from any option, so i have no idea what applicaiton this product is looking for.

Any idea?

Thanks in advance.
