The Farm it plugin, is a render Farm plugin for Daz Studio. I just downloaded the trial. And I would like to know how long the trial is? Also the bottom line?

    These plugins are really interesting. I'd never heard of them before...

    The search engine on this site. Doesn't seem to work for me. Every time I search for advanced plugin. I get no results. In this case I was always getting Farm scenes. So I started searching Google. I also seen something on YouTube. How to install the unreal render engine in Daz Studio. I was more interested in the Eevee render engine. Or even the Cycles Render engine.

    Found the site and plug-ins - thanks, never saw these before!

    So....I guess the Farm plug-in is not for IRAY?

    So....I guess the Farm plug-in is for 3DL?   Could not afford all those licenses for IRAY.

    Edit:  Read through the PDF, and as expected it uses 3DL (the clue was that it would use more than 20 computers, kind of pricey for the IRAY licences at $300/yr each).

    I strongly doubt it. Iray server, which does the same thing, is very expensive.

    From what I read it's, 3DL. I hope it's not as expensive as Iray.

    I've used this before and even purchased the license. I installed it and had it working the very first time I used it, it does take some time getting it setup though. Here's the bad news. I made some changes to the system I was using it on, like changing the folder where the rendered files were being rendered to and everything seem to break and stop working. No matter what I tried, I just couldn't get it working again. I tried wiping the entire system I was using, numerous emails back and forth with the Generation X guys and tried all their solutions and still nothing worked. So unfortunately I gave up.

    I plan on trying it again some time but for now I've concentrated on leaning more about how to become more proficient with DAZ Studio. I wish there was a solution for using DAZ Studio and a render farm but so far I haven't found one. I would love it if something was available. I'm an retired technology professional so putting one together wouldn't be much of a problem if there was a solid solution, I'd do it yesterday!
