Show Us Your Iray Renders. Part VII

TraceSL

just tiiming 

t0mg_z

A new one. Some post added, mainly tone mapping (rendered on canvas), some bloom effect and a bit of noise to blend the character better with the HDRI.

I am so irritated now... I set up a render and set it to rendering and after crashing twice it started rendering and while It was rendering I fell asleep I wake up to the cleanest render I have ever done, perfect no blur, no noise and  I can't even save the render... not even with save last render...

Is any part of DS responding? If you are using Windows it should (by default) be a PNG file in

%AppData%/daz 3d/studio4/temp/render/

(I can't recalll the Mac equivalent)

Where is that in Windows 10? It would be a good thing to know for future reference.

In Windows, under your Users files. Those will be on your C-Drive by default. The full path should look something like this, where username is the name you gave your account:

C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\DAZ 3D\Studio4\temp\render

(or C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\DAZ 3D\Studio4 Public Build\temp\render for the beta.)

The filename of the render will be "r.png"

Look for that file before you do anything else, assuming you can still browse your computer in explorer. If you have to reboot the computer, find the r.png file before opening Daz Studio, as opening DS will wipe out the old render file. If there is no r.png file in the temp/render folder, then there is no way I know of to restore the render.

It is possible to render to file. You could try doing that when you go to bed. Maybe that will work. It's certainly worth trying.

What do you mean "render to file?"

Yeah, good work..I also commented in your DAZ Gallery post.

"love the render and lighting.. This is awesome.. perfect LOTR lightings.
Is this completely rendered in DAZ? The mountains and the tree? 
And is the banner custom made too?

I'm glad you like it! The banner object itself is not custom, short of integrating dForce, but I did quite a bit of work on the textures. The scene was completely rendered in Daz...and really not a whole heap in terms of post-work. The environment is kitbashed from several different sets, along with some hand-placed accent plants. The mountains and sky are part of the main lighting, which is an HDRI from HDRI Haven.

Hope that your version is playable as Eivor in Assassin's Creed Valhalla.  Looking at the collectible figurine for the so far still rumored playable female version of Eivor, she looks actually pretty close!  Though hard to say for sure.  But Eivor is customizable this time for hair, unlike Kassandra in Odyssey.

Yeah, good work .. Beauty with a brain! 

I also do a lot of kitbashing WRT costumes. My Doctor Strange costume is made up of components from 5 different costume sets. At times I create few my own textures too. Since I have no GPU and use only CPU to render, I just try to render the main character with appropriate lights and then edit it in photoshop. A single chatacter takes me around 2 hours to render :(

Love this!  Great likeness! I have a 1080ti and it takes me 2 hours to render just one character now that they've "upgraded" DS...  I've noticed that people tend to like my old work better when I did separate characters and backgrounds and did a lot of post. Full scene renders and HDRIs are good for realism but usually look bad in fantasy/sci-fi scenes and I've found that artier backgrounds look much better than realistic ones for comic/sci-fi/fantasy scenes if you're thinking of selling it as "art." Don't be afraid of postwork! The more you put your artistic spin on things, the more it will be seen as art rather than just a render. 

I think if you did a just a little more postwork on the clothing, making it look less like 3D and more like it was hand painted, you'd have a good seller at a comic-con!

It is a Laptop, this one.

MSI Raider GE75 17.3" Gaming Laptop - Intel® Core™ i7, RTX 2060, 1 TB HDD & 256 GB SSD

Cost me £1509.00 plus I put another 16 GB of memory in it to take it up to 32 GB.

Thanks for the appreciation and detailed explanation. It took me lot of time that I was tired. Specially using the dForce Simulations.. my laptop kept crashing. Finally I had to use deformers to fix and hide things, some needed an Opacity Map as well. Then posing was another issue.. so all cumulative issues took 2 days to be resolved and I finally arrived at this pics after some test renders under different lights. 

I visited your website. Nice arts and book covers too :)

i dont have my desktop now. I have a 1060 in that. MY desktop used to render scenes pretty quickly. My Avatar Batman render which took me 24 hours to render in Lux Render/Reality could be easily rendered in just 20 minutes on the desktop.

Yeah I dont miss the lux days either. I just slapped a 2080ti in my i7 10 core 32G beast. It's pretty sweet and only gets as high as 70 degrees. Which was the same the same 1080ti and this one is much quieter.. I recently started playing with the tonemapper in iray I did prefer lux's..

Haha, I'm very excited for that game. My only reaction when I saw the initial trailer was GIGGITY. I had no idea they were working on a Norse-inspired game. I'm glad you like Rosawyn...her looks were actually inspired by Lagertha as I was just coming off an ongoing Vikings binge, lol. Even though the Rohirrim were thought to be based more on Anglo-Saxons than Vikings, there's room for artistic license. Not mention there was a lot of invading going on in that entire geographical region, so I'd imagine a lot of culture overlap as well.

My scenes vary, generally by the complexity of the lighting. Volumetrics are gorgeous, but they take a hellaciously long time to render. Because of the volumetric rays going on around her, the total scene took about 9hrs to render on my 1080TI at a size of 4,000 x 5,000.

I think with all those elements in the scene, 9 hours is still good. You can put on render overnight and by the time you wake up next morning, it's all set and ready to post. I have plans of many renders but..my laptop says no.

Like the good ol lux rendering days. Other reason I am prolly getting fast times on the desktop is all the work and iray previewing is done on my laptop for the most part. With the desktop Load scene> Render
