PLEASE tell me, like poser, there is a way for me to retrieve a render after the render window was closed?
I woke this morning, saw it had rendered fine and in my daftness closed it instead of saving it...is there ANY WAY to get it back? I tired the "render editor"Button but the render I did over night is not in there....

Yes, you go to the File Menu and choose "Save Last Render...". It's a life saver!
THANK YOU!! I was dreading running that all night again :P
It is prob hiding in app data roaming or somewhere too
I believe it will only be in the temp folder if the person actually hit cancel.
In Windows it is located at:
C:\Users\[Username]\AppData\Roaming\DAZ 3D\Studio4\temp
Yay! You just saved 36 hours of rendering for me :)
See this is why Daz NEEDS a manual. I didn't know anything about the "Save Last Render" option. I've lost countless hours rerendering stuff because of accidentally closing a finished render.
Luckier than me. I closed Daz's main window. Temp data gone. : ( And she was SOOOOOO pretty, too!
Agreed and ditto!
Thanks, I didn't know this either. I have also lost countless renders because of accidentally closing the window.
They really need an option ot save renders automatically.
Window>Panes(Tabs)>Render Album, you set the maximum size and nmber it will save in the option menu (the lined button in the top corner, or right-click the tab). You can right-click on a thumbnail to actually save, otherwise they will be cleared on the next shutdown or restart - if you need to recover one after a crash it will be in the temp folder, in \RenderAlbumTmp. The main drawback is that they are jpgs, so you don't get and alpha channel.
This one was mentioned it another thread:

Whilst I might be tempted to agree, I have to ask: how much are you prepared to pay for it? How much are you prepared to pay for its upkeep. The software is free; this 'free' comes with a cost.
And the forums are an excellent source of information.
There is this one, but I hardly ever use it so I don't know how much/often it's being updated.
