What are the best settings for iRay in Daz3D?

NVIDIA Iray is a powerful, unbiased GPU-based render engine available in Daz Studio, alongside the original 3Delight renderer. In this guide, we’ll explore the best settings for iRay in Daz3D to help you achieve high-quality renders efficiently.

General settings

Before fine-tuning render settings, it’s important to configure your General settings properly. Set a clear save location and make sure your output resolution is correct.

Dimension Preset, Pixel Size, and Aspect Ratio

You can choose from several built-in resolution presets like VGA or Panorama. For custom sizes, select Custom and enter your preferred pixel dimensions and aspect ratio.

Recommendation: Use double your desired resolution for rendering, then downscale in an image editor (e.g., Photoshop) for better results.

Render Type

There are 3 options:

  • Still Image (Current Frame) – for a single render
  • Image Series – for animations, one frame at a time
  • Movie – exports a full animation in one file

Recommendation: It’s safer to use Image Series for animations. That way, if rendering gets interrupted, you can resume from the last saved frame instead of starting over.

Render Target

Decide whether your render opens in a new window or saves directly to the file.

Image Name and Image Path

Specify a file name and choose where it should be saved.

Recommendation: If you’re using iRender’s servers, save to any folder on the Desktop to avoid potential errors or crashes.

Auto Headlamp

The headlamp is useful during scene setup for visibility if no lights are present. 

Recommendation: For final rendering, it’s usually best to turn it off to avoid unwanted lighting.

Render Mode

Here, you’ll choose between:

  • Photoreal – the highest quality option, ideal for realism
  • Interactive – faster previews with lower accuracy

Since Iray is known for its physically accurate results, we’ll focus on the best settings for iRay in Daz3D using the Photoreal mode.

Note: Some render settings may differ slightly depending on the mode selected.

Progressive Rendering – Best Settings for iRay in Daz3D

To get the best balance between speed and quality in Iray rendering, it’s essential to understand how progressive rendering works. These settings affect how the image updates while rendering and when rendering stops.

Min Update Samples and Update Interval (secs)

These settings determine how frequently the image updates during the rendering process:

  • Min Update Samples: Sets the minimum number of samples per pixel required before the image refreshes on screen. A higher value means less frequent updates, but potentially cleaner previews.
  • Update Interval: Defines the time (in seconds) between updates, regardless of how many samples have been calculated.

Recommendation: Most Daz3D users leave Min Update Samples at 1 and keep the Update Interval at its default value for smoother visual feedback during rendering.

Min/ Max Samples and Max Time (secs)

Min Samples and Max Samples determine the range of samples per pixel that Iray needs to calculate before finishing the render. Max Time limits how long Iray will spend rendering. All three settings can work together, which means the rendering whill stop when any one of them is reached.

Recommendations:

  • Min Samples: Often left at 0
  • Max Samples: Increased for higher detail — portraits may go up to 15,000–40,000
  • Max Time: Can be left at 0 (no time limit), or set based on how long you’re willing to wait
  • Leave Min Samples at 0 and raise the Max Samples and Max Time values to improve image quality, accepting longer render times as a trade-off.

Rendering Quality and Converged Ratio

  • Rendering Quality (default = 1): Controls final image accuracy. Doubling this value roughly doubles the render time.
  • Converged Ratio (default = 95%): Specifies when Iray considers the image “complete.” Raising this may improve quality, but also significantly increases render time.

Recommendation: Keep the default unless you absolutely need cleaner results. Adjust with care.

Alpha

The Alpha settings affect how transparency is handled in renders. The only adjustable option here is Default Alpha LPE (Light Path Expressions).

Recommendation: Unless you’re having issues with transparency or rendering alpha maps, it’s best to leave this setting at “specular transmission objects.”

Optimization

Focus on these two key options for optimization:

Caustic Sampler

Caustics are the light patterns formed when light is refracted (through glass) or reflected (off shiny surfaces). These effects can add realism but significantly increase render time.

Recommendation: Enable Caustic Sampler only if you’re rendering glass, water, or reflective materials and want physically accurate lighting.

Guided Sampling

Guided Sampling helps speed up Iray rendering and reduce noise, especially when used alongside the Firefly Filter. It may increase the memory usage, but the visual payoff is worth it for complex lighting.

Recommendation: Turn on Guided Sampling if your scene includes:

  • Large soft shadows (from big area lights)
  • Volumetric effects (e.g., fog)
  • Occluded or indirect light sources
  • Moderate caustics (but not full caustic rendering)

Filtering

In the latest version of Daz Studio, the Filtering tab becomes visible once you click the Render button. 

Firefly Filter

During rendering, it’s common to encounter small, overly bright white pixels scattered throughout your image, often referred to as “fireflies.” These occur in areas where lighting is difficult to calculate accurately. The Firefly Filter is designed to automatically eliminate these spots and improve image quality

Recommendation: It’s highly recommended to keep this filter enabled in all your renders. For better results, especially in challenging scenes, it’s also advised to use it in combination with Guided Sampling.

Noise Degraining Filter

This filter helps reduce overall noise in your image without sacrificing too much detail. You can adjust this filter on a scale from 1 to 5. Lower values like 1 to 3 offer a more conservative approach, focusing on reducing noise in difficult parts of the scene while maintaining sharpness. 

Note: Firefly Filter and Noise Degraining Filter are not supported in Interactive rendering mode.

Post Denoiser

It is especially useful in scenes with complex lighting and shadows. This tool enhances the image after rendering has reached a certain stage, helping to clean up remaining visual imperfections. However, because it uses additional memory and can affect performance, it’s important to use it wisely. Make sure both the “Available” and “Enabled” options are active if you decide to use it. 

Post Denoiser Start Iteration determines how soon in the render process the denoiser begins its work. If it starts too early—like at the default setting of 8 iterations—it can result in longer render times and a blurrier image. A better approach is to delay the denoiser until the final few hundred iterations. For example, if you’re rendering 500 total iterations, starting the denoiser around iteration 250 to 350 will save memory and produce a sharper, cleaner result.

Post Denoiser Denoise Alpha is useful if your render includes transparent elements and you want to reduce noise in the alpha channel. Just be aware that enabling this option can potentially double denoising time. Still, it’s worth using if you notice transparency-related noise in your final image.

Spectral Rendering

Spectral Rendering is a specialized feature that simulates light and color based on real-world wavelengths rather than relying solely on the RGB color model. This method provides more physically accurate color interactions, which can make a noticeable difference when rendering materials like glass, liquids, or skin. 

In most cases, especially for casual or intermediate users, it’s recommended to leave Spectral Rendering disabled unless you’re aiming for highly realistic lighting effects and are comfortable adjusting your workflow to match. While the feature can produce stunning results, it also increases render time and can complicate color management if you’re not familiar with the underlying color theory.

White Mode

When White Mode is enabled, Iray Interactive applies a plain white diffuse material to all objects in the scene. This mode helps evaluate lighting and shadows without the distraction of surface textures or colors.

Section Objects

Section Objects allow you to visually “cut” through a 3D model or scene, exposing the interior without altering the geometry. You can add an Iray Section Plane via the Create dropdown in Daz Studio. 

Enabling Section Caps fills in the cut surfaces with a solid material or color, instead of leaving the openings hollow or transparent.

Tone Mapping

In newer versions of Daz3D, the Tone Mapping tab will appear after clicking the Render button.

This feature controls how lighting and color are balanced in the final image (similar to camera exposure settings). Adjusting tone mapping can help fine-tune brightness, contrast, and overall mood of your renders. 

Most users are fine with the default settings, but if you’re curious, I recommend a tutorial video like “Daz Studio: Using Tone Mapping – NotFromThisWorld”.

Environment

Found under the Environment tab (after hitting Render), this section lets you define the lighting and ambiance of your scene. The core setting here is the Dome, which controls lighting direction, reflections, and general atmosphere. For example, a dome with a sunny forest scene will reflect that environment’s light and mood.

You can choose from several Environment Modes:

  • Dome and Scene: Combines dome lighting with your scene’s lights (e.g., spotlights) 
  • Dome Only: Ignores any lights in your scene and uses only the dome.
  • Sun-Sky Only: Uses only the simulated sun and sky from the dome.
  • Scene Only: Uses just the lights you’ve placed in the scene, ignoring the dome.

Recommendation: Stick with “Dome and Scene” if you want flexibility and better lighting control for most renders.

Hardware

Finally, when discussing the best settings for iRay in Daz3D, it’s essential to consider the Hardware section. Here, you can select whether to use one or more GPUs, the CPU, or a combination of both for rendering. GPUs offer a significant performance advantage, especially for complex scenes, and can dramatically reduce your Iray render times. While combining CPU and GPU is an option, it doesn’t always lead to better results and may actually slow things down in some cases.

For the most efficient rendering, it’s generally recommended to rely on GPU-only rendering, particularly if you have access to multiple GPUs, as this can greatly boost both speed and quality.

What’s the difference between Iray, 3Delight, and Filament in Daz Studio?

Daz Studio offers users a powerful suite of tools to create stunning visualizations, animation, gaming, or artistic projects. This capability lies in the rendering engines available within Daz Studio, each designed to meet different needs and preferences. Among these, Iray, 3Delight, and Filament stand out as the primary rendering options with unique strengths and weaknesses. Understanding the differences among these rendering engines is essential for artists and creators using Daz Studio. This knowledge enables users to select the most suitable option tailored to their specific project requirements, whether they seek lifelike realism, efficient rendering times, or real-time workflow capabilities.

In this blog, iRender will explore the features of each rendering engine and highlight their functionalities, ideal use cases, and key distinctions.

Overview of Iray, 3Delight, and Filament in Daz Studio

Daz Studio is a software application developed and offered by Daz 3D. It is a powerful 3D creation software that allows users to design, animate, and render detailed 3D scenes. Primarily aimed at artists, animators, and designers, Daz Studio provides a versatile platform for creating digital art, illustrations, and animations through a user-friendly interface and a range of high-quality assets. 

Iray in Daz Studio is a physically-based rendering (PBR) engine developed by NVIDIA. It is renowned for its ability to produce high-quality, photorealistic images by simulating the behavior of light in a realistic manner. This engine leverages advanced algorithms and graphical techniques to accurately replicate how light interacts with different materials in a 3D environment.

3Delight is a powerful scanline rendering engine integrated into Daz Studio, known for its versatility and efficiency in rendering 3D scenes. Unlike physically-based renderers like Iray, which focus on achieving photorealistic results, 3Delight provides a good balance of speed and quality, making it suitable for a variety of artistic styles and projects.

Filament is a real-time rendering engine integrated into Daz Studio, designed to provide fast rendering capabilities while allowing for immediate feedback during the creation process. Developed to leverage modern graphics technology, Filament enables artists to interactively visualize changes to their scenes with minimal delay.

Differences between Iray, 3Delight, and Filament

Speed and Quality

When comparing the speed and quality of the three rendering engines in Daz Studio—Iray, 3Delight, and Filament, it’s important to understand how each engine performs under different conditions and for diverse types of projects.

Iray is known for its compatibility with Physically-Based Rendering (PBR) principles, which are designed to simulate how light interacts with materials in the real world. Iray calculates light interactions based on real-world physics, which means that lighting in your rendered scene behaves as it would in reality. This includes effects like light scattering, reflection, and absorption, all of which are crucial for achieving lifelike visuals. Iray is primarily for designers and visual effects artists working with 3D content who require predictable photorealistic imagery.

3Delight is indeed Daz Studio’s original rendering engine and is a CPU-based scanline renderer. Therefore, 3Delight can run efficiently even on systems that may not have powerful GPUs. This makes it accessible to a broader range of users. It has almost a toonish look because it fakes rendering 3D objects with something that isn’t compatible with PBR (physically based rendering). It only provides flexibility and speed particularly for simpler scenes which results in limitations regarding realism and material interaction compared to engines like Iray.

Filament is indeed the fastest rendering engine available in Daz Studio, primarily due to its real-time rendering capabilities. This engine is designed to provide immediate feedback, making it particularly valuable for artists and designers who require speed and interactivity in their workflows. Although Filament produces visually appealing images, the quality is generally moderate and less realistic when compared to Iray. It works well for applications that demand speed over ultimate fidelity, making it suitable for prototyping and early-stage visualizations.

Global Illumination

Iray uses advanced global illumination techniques, incorporating methods like photon mapping and path tracing. This allows it to simulate light interactions effectively, providing a high degree of realism. The GI quality in Iray is high, effectively capturing how light bounces off surfaces and illuminates other areas in the scene. This leads to realistic shadows, reflections, and soft lighting effects that mimic real-world scenarios.

3Delight employs a more simplified approach, relying on traditional raycasting techniques and shadow mapping rather than full physical simulation for GI. The GI offered by 3Delight is moderate in accuracy. While it does achieve satisfying results, it does not replicate the level of detail or complexity found in Iray. 

Filament features a limited real-time global illumination approach designed for speed and efficiency rather than physical accuracy. The accuracy of GI in Filament is not high compared to both Iray and 3Delight. While it can provide a basic sense of lighting interaction between surfaces, it does not strive for a high-fidelity illumination model.

Real-Time Preview Capability

Iray provides a limited real-time viewport that allows users to preview changes, but the updates are generally not instantaneous. This means that while you can see what you’re doing, there’s often a noticeable lag, particularly in complex scenes.

Meanwhile, 3Delight offers an interactive preview, providing a more immediate reflection of changes compared to Iray. However, it still does not reach the true real-time rendering capabilities of Filament. 

Filament is designed for true real-time rendering, providing immediate visual feedback. This characteristic is a significant advantage for users needing to iterate quickly. The response is extremely fast, making it easy for artists to see the results of their changes without delay. Alo, any changes of lighting, materials, or camera settings appear instantaneously.

Ideal Use Cases

Iray

  • Photorealistic Visualizations: Iray is suited for projects requiring high-quality, photorealistic renders, such as architectural visualizationsproduct renderings, and character portraits.
  • Advertising and Marketing: Ideal for creating marketing materials that require realistic representations of products or characters. Iray’s quality is unmatched when it comes to detail and realism, making it preferable for final renders in promotional content.
  • Cinematic Quality: Suitable for filmmakers and animators seeking lifelike visuals in their animated projects. Iray’s ability to handle complex lighting and shading makes it an excellent choice for scenes requiring a cinematic look.
  • High-End Artwork: Artists looking to produce gallery-quality artwork or fine art pieces will benefit from the realistic textures, shadows, and reflections that Iray offers.

3Delight

  • Animation Production: 3Delight is excellent for animated projects where speed and flexibility are essential. Its faster rendering times allow animators to produce frames more quickly, making it feasible to iterate on character designs, backgrounds, or effects without lengthy wait times.
  • Illustration and Concept Art: Ideal for illustrators and concept artists who want to explore diverse styles. Its capabilities allow users to render different art styles, from cartoonish to semi-realistic, making it versatile for visual storytelling.
  • Less Complex Scenes: Well-suited for simpler scenes where speed is prioritized over photorealism, such as product showcases or character turnarounds.

Filament

  • Real-Time Applications: Filament is perfect for game development, where real-time rendering and immediate visual feedback are crucial. Filament allows developers to visualize assets and lighting setups quickly, making it easier to make adjustments on the fly.
  • Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR): Ideal for environments that demand fast rendering times and responsive interactions. Filament’s quick feedback capabilities enable effective previews for VR/AR experiences.

Step-by-step Guide To Making 3D Hair with Daz Studio and Blender

Hair is a great way to convey character and personality to your 3D model, but working with hair in 3D is difficult. Even professional CG artists get frustrated with the issues surrounding creating 3D hair for their characters. However, you don’t need a team of skilled artists to create 3D hair. This blog will provide a step-by-step guide to creating perfect 3D hair for your character using Daz Studio and Blender! Let’s dig deeper with iRender.

Why should we choose Daz Studio and Blender to make 3D hair?

Through its user-friendly interface and vast library of assets, Daz Studio provides a convenient and versatile resource for creating captivating 3D hair effects that enhance the visual appeal of characters and scenes.  

Making 3D Hair with Daz Studio and Blender 1

Combining Daz Studio and Blender offers a synergistic approach to creating perfect 3D hair for several key reasons:

  1. Diverse Assets: Daz Studio provides a wide range of meticulously crafted 3D hair models, offering artists many selections to choose from, while Blender’s versatile toolset allows for extensive customization and integration of these assets into intricate 3D scenes.
  2. Sculpting and Styling: Blender’s advanced sculpting and particle systems enable fine-tuned shaping and styling of 3D hair, while Daz Studio’s assets serve as an excellent starting point, facilitating efficient workflow and providing a foundation for elaborate hair designs.
  3. Seamless Integration: By combining both platforms, artists can leverage Daz Studio’s character customization and Blender’s rendering capabilities, ensuring a seamless integration of 3D hair with characters while maintaining a high level of detail and realism.
  4. Flexibility and Control: Blender’s comprehensive feature set grants artists the control and flexibility to refine and enhance Daz Studio hair assets, enabling the creation of custom hair designs tailored to specific character aesthetics and storytelling needs.

Step-by-step Guide To Making 3D Hair with Daz Studio and Blender

Create 3D Hair

There are many ways to create 3D hair, but in this article, we want to share a powerful tool that will help you create your own unique hairstyle. This is a third-party add-on for Blender called Hair Tool for Blender. It will help you generate hair-card, shell hair, or curve hair in a non-destructive way, using geometry nodes and Python.

Independent developer Bartosz Styperek has created several tools for Blender, which have garnered nearly 900 reviews so far. The tool has great documentation, a Discord server, and several online tutorials from various artists. With practice, you will easily master this add-on in no time.

Get this Hair Tool for Blender with a license starting at just $26.

Install the Hair Tool Add-on for Blender

No matter which software you choose to create 3D hair, you will have to put in some time and effort to learn. If you are familiar with Blender, then using Hair Tool for Blender will be easier.

First, let’s learn how to get third-party add-ons running in Blender. After downloading the add-on to your computer, you need to unzip the folder. Then open Blender, and navigate to Edit > Preferences > Add-Ons. Click Install and find the folder you unzipped that contains Hair Tool for Blender.

Once selected, Blender will automatically install the add-on. All you have to do is make sure to check the box next to the tool so that it is properly enabled within the Blender interface. When you see Hair Tool for Blender appear in the panel on the right side of your workspace, it has been loaded properly.

Making 3D Hair with Daz Studio and Blender 2

Use Daz to Blender Bridge to bring in a character

Once you have the Hair Tool add-on installed and running, you will need a character. The easiest way to get a character from Daz Studio into Blender is to use the Daz to Blender Bridge. You can access the Bridge through your DazCentral account, install the latest version, and open Daz to create your character. Let’s create a character without hair since we plan to create custom hair in Blender.

Creating a character in Daz Studio is fun and easy with access to thousands of modular assets that are compatible with almost any figure. For this example, we chose to work with Aiko 8 and the full Bandit Sarah Outfit.

Making 3D Hair with Daz Studio and Blender 3

Once your character is ready, export it to Blender using the Bridge. Open Blender and, just like you did with the Hair Tool Add-on, navigate to Edit > Preferences > Add-ons and search for “Daz to Blender”. Make sure you have checked the box to enable the add-on. Now look in the sidebar, you will see Daz To Blender in the list, clicking on it will open the Daz Bridge menu. You just need to click on Import New Genesis Figure and Blender will automatically import the Daz character you created!

Making 3D Hair with Daz Studio and Blender 4

Create Basic Hair Shapes in Blender with Planes

Hair Tool for Blender provides easy customization of hair. You will create the basic shapes and sections of the hair by creating individual planes. At this stage, you don’t need to worry about individual hairs as the tool and texture will handle them. Now you just need to create the general shapes.

You should divide the hair into clumps and layers depending on the hairstyle, but at least 2-3 layers are recommended. With each layer, the hair shape will be more spread out and detailed. The inner layer is for the shape, while the outer layers are for adding detail and style. Using the layering technique will help you avoid flat, two-dimensional hair. It will add volume and style to your design, make hair look better, and prevent the character’s scalp from showing through.

These planes are called Hair Cards.

Making 3D Hair with Daz Studio and Blender 5

An easy way to do this is to add a sphere to the scene, sized appropriately to fit the head size. Then customize this sphere to create the basic hair shape you want for your character. Once you have created and sized the sphere, you can easily start blocking out and separating the different hair shapes into their own objects.

Generate Hair Curves

Before turning this basic shape into a haircut, you need to mark the hairline as sharp. Select this line and Mark it Sharp. As the hair changes in shape and length, you need to make sure that each section of hair is a separate object. This also applies to individual layers placed on top of each other.

After creating a basic shape and Creating Hair with the Curves from Mesh Surface option, you should have a hair model that looks like this:

Making 3D Hair with Daz Studio and Blender 6

This basic short bob hairstyle consists of two different hair cards, one for the main shape and one for the bangs. However, this hairstyle will look very flat and two-dimensional. To add more depth, we will continue to create more detailed layers.

Making 3D Hair with Daz Studio and Blender 7

While it may seem silly when you only see the hair cards, it is important how you construct the final hairstyle. Separate clumps of hair will add volume and variety to the hairstyle. Next, you can switch to the shading tab to preview how your hair will look and also adjust the colors in Blender. This will give you a better idea of ​​how the final product will look in Daz Studio.

Making 3D Hair with Daz Studio and Blender 8

Also, there are a lot of features in this tool, so feel free to experiment and see which one works best for you. Some other settings include the number of hairs and the thickness of each hair.

Export the Hair Asset as an OBJ

Once you have completed the hair for your character, you can simply export it as an OBJ to bring it back to Daz Studio. You can reopen the scene where you created the character and import the new hair asset, without having to import the entire character from Blender to Daz Studio. However, you will need to adjust the position of the hair to get it where you want it. And the best part is that once saved, you can reuse the hair at any time, in any project you create!

Conclusion

In conclusion, creating realistic 3D hair using Daz Studio and Blender is a rewarding process that requires patience and attention to detail. By following the step-by-step instructions provided in this blog, you can enhance the quality of your 3D character creations and bring them to life with stunning hair designs. Experimenting with different techniques, textures, and hairstyles will help you refine your skills and achieve unique results.

Best Iray settings for fast rendering in Daz Studio

Render times in Daz Studio can vary greatly depending on the project’s complexity. While the ideal settings may still result in longer renders, default configurations could neglect opportunities for us to optimize the renders using the available system resources. In this article, we will look deeper at the best settings in Iray for fast rendering in Daz Studio.

Why should we use the Iray rendering in Daz Studio?

When rendering in Daz Studio, we can choose two render engines between 3Delight and NVIDIA Iray.  

3Delight, Daz’s original render engine, is CPU-based. It has almost a cartoonish look since it fakes rendering 3D objects with something that is not compatible with physically based rendering (PBR). 

Iray, which comes from NVIDIA, has increased creative abilities within Daz. More importantly, Iray is compatible with PBR maps, which can typically get more realistic renders. It has become tremendously popular as part of the Daz Studio workflow.

For optimal performance, Iray requires an NVIDIA GPU. If you use AMD (even top-tier) GPU, Iray won’t function as expected, unfortunately. However, if you use an NVIDIA GPU, Iray is a game-changer render engine. The Daz community has wholeheartedly embraced Iray, ensuring strong support and the ability to use new rendering capabilities with existing assets. Iray helps render faster, leverages HDRI technology, and gives full control over detailed scene elements.

Best Iray settings for fast rendering in Daz Studio

Let’s now explore the numerous settings within Iray. Iray operates exactly according to its configured parameters. As an unbiased renderer, it requires defining specific criteria. This is determined solely through its render settings. 

Open Daz Studio, and go to the Render Settings tab, which contains various sub-sections that we will break down in the following sections.

General settings

This section covers Dimension Preset, Pixel Size, Aspect Ratio, Render Type, Render Target, Image Name, Image Path, and Auto Headlamp. Each significantly impacts resolution, file-saving location, lighting effects, etc.

For example, the Auto Headlamp setting. Unlike many others that relate mainly to the output file, this is an important option frequently overlooked by new users, yet it can directly affect the render appearance. This is usually enabled by default we can see the scene view even when no lights are manually added to it. While it is helpful for rendering in Daz Studio, we should turn it off. 

Render mode

There are two options for the render mode – Photoreal and Interactive. Each has different settings that impact both render speed and quality. If you want the highest results, Photoreal is recommended. However, Interactive is a better option for fast iterations. Interactive uses different algorithms to calculate the final render result and it is much faster, but at the expense of the quality.

Note that available settings will change depending on the render modes we choose.

Progressive Rendering

Progressive Rendering is the most important tab to change the render time. This section includes Update and Completion Settings, which control the number of samples and time allocated for iterative rendering loops.

Update Configuration

This refers to Min Update Samples and Update Interval (secs). The sample count determines the number of samples generated per rendering iteration. Concurrently, the interval provides important guidance to the renderer about how much time to dedicate to each render call. Longer intervals typically increase efficiency while shorter intervals produce more frequent updates.

Completion Configuration

This category includes Min Samples, Max Samples, and Max Time (secs). The minimum sample count sets a baseline for the rendering loop to progressively conclude. In contrast, Max Samples guides the renderer on the highest number of samples to produce per loop. Increasing the allocated time per loop extends overall render time but allows the renderer more processing time before loop termination and transition to the next loop.

Converged Quality and Ratio in Progressive Rendering

By default, these settings are set to 1 and 95% respectively. Increasing the quality value demands more thoroughly converged pixels, extending render time. Render times show an approximately linear relationship with the specified value, so doubling the quality nearly doubles render time.

Note that choosing a value above the default 0.95 could potentially lead to greatly prolonged render time. The rendering converged ratio is an estimation updated periodically, not after every render loop.

Optimization

Settings like Caustic Sampler and Guided Sampling can help optimize your render by influencing lighting effects and quality.

Caustics involve the refraction or reflection of light rays by a curved surface, creating characteristic effects. While Daz Studio produces caustic-like effects naturally, enabling the Caustic Sampler setting can enhance these effects, especially for glass or liquids.

At times, activating this setting may improve both quality and reduce render times. When the caustic sampler is not in use, enabling Guided Sampling can notably boost quality, especially when paired with Firefly Filter. However, it may heavily impact system memory usage. NVIDIA recommends using Guided Sampling for strongly obscured light sources blocked by walls or environment maps, volumetric rendering, soft shadows from large area lights if tessellated, and moderate caustics  (though very sharp caustics still require the Caustic Sampler.)One important setting in this Optimization section is the Instancing Optimization. You can set it to “Speed”. In theory, this may improve render time.

Filtering

Settings like Firefly Filter and Noise Degraining Filter help eliminate unwanted artifacts and noise. 

Fireflies refer to randomly scattered bright white pixels in complex lighting areas. The Firefly Filter effectively removes these.

The Noise Degraining Filter operates differently in Iray based on the render mode. In Photoreal, it can be set from 1 to 5, with five settings of increasing aggressiveness: pixel clipping, smart median, smart average, limited blur, and limited auto blur. A setting of zero deactivates the filter entirely. Modes 1 to 3 are more conservative, focusing on eliminating noise in complex scene areas without compromising image sharpness. Modes 4 and 5 are more aggressive, so you should use them cautiously. Based on the scene’s requirements, you should also do some Experimentation.

In Interactive Render Mode, these controls are not accessible. Instead, a simple filter is available, defaulting to a Gaussian filter that subtly blurs the image to reduce noise artifacts.

Tone Mapping

Near the bottom is the “Tone Mapping” tab, which contains options you typically don’t want to modify.

This is because these controls compress the image’s dynamic range, similar to post-production adjustments like exposure, gamma, saturation, and film ISO. You should use other software instead for these edits. However, if you don’t use other software, you can still test with different values. 

For example, the Exposure affects brightness of your render. If your render looks too dark, you can reduce this value. Note that, light sources of all kinds, including whether camera headlamps are on or off, also impact the final look.

Adjusting tone mapping settings directly affects the final render right away. If the render doesn’t meet your expectations, you will need to render it again, which might take a long time. 

However, note that it’s best to leave tone mapping On rather than Off, to avoid broken renders.

Use GPU or GPU(s) for faster rendering in Daz Studio

In the Rendering Settings menu, there is an Advanced section. There you can find some advanced settings. In the Hardware tab, we can and should turn on the GPU there, as the GPU is significantly better than the CPU for Iray rendering in Daz Studio. 

We can also try the hybrid by using both GPU and CPU at the same time. However, in some cases, it can make things worse, and lead to slower performance.

Speed up Iray rendering in Daz Studio with iRender

iRender provides high-performance remote servers for various creative workflows from 3D rendering, AI training, Video editing, Simulation, VR/AR development, and more. We understand that each project and individual’s creative process is unique and local limitations can restrict one’s tools and vision. We address this by giving our users complete control over our servers where they can install any software. 

Once renting our server, you can use it as your computer to set up your private creative working environment. You just need to install the software once for the first time; everything will be saved and ready to use next time.

iRender supports Daz Studio and Iray of all versions. Because Iray supports any number or combination of GPUs, we recommend using multiple GPUs including the 2/4/6x RTX 4090 and 8x RTX 3090 servers to speed up rendering. Not only featuring powerful top-tier RTX 3090/4090 GPUs, the servers also have industrial-grade AMD Ryzen Threadripper  CPUs, 256GB of RAM, and 2T NVME SSD storage to match the most demanding workloads.

Transferring your files is straightforward, too. Our dedicated file transfer applications streamline the process of uploading and downloading your vast Daz content libraries, complex project files, and rendered outputs whether you’re using the server. 

Additionally, we provide flexible pricing with an hourly rental paying only for pay-as-you-go usage, or daily/weekly/monthly rental at a discounted 10-20% rate. 

Let’s see how Iray speeds up rendering on our multiple GPU servers:

The best cloud rendering service for Daz Studio and iRay

Daz Studio is a computer graphics program for creating highly configurable 3D scenes, from scratch or from pre-imported models. It’s a very famous tool for 3D artists and creators, with robust and vast variety support of different tools and assets (such as posing, wardrobe, hairstyle, background, etc.). With its easy-to-use workflow and free subscription, Daz Studio is preferred by many. The rendering tool often come free with Daz is iRay by Nvidia.

In this article, iRender guides you on the system requirements and the best cloud rendering service for Daz Studio and iRay.

1. System requirements for Daz Studio and iRay

In this section, we will introduce and suggest a system requirement for Daz Studio 4.21:

        • Operating system: 64-bit operating system
        • Processor: Intel Xeon/Core 2 Duo or Quad /Core i7 or AMD Opteron/Phenom processor
        • Memory: 2 GB RAM min (3GB+ RAM recommended)
        • Disk space: 1GB free hard drive space for installation
        • Graphics card: Nvidia RTX 2060 or above

However, these hardware are outdated and we will need to deep dive into what is recommended for Daz and iRay.

        • Processor: this is not an important factor when you work with Daz Studio and iRay. However, of course you will need an strong enough processor to handle the GPU.
        • Memory: minimum RAM should be 32GB. Or you can base on the VRAM of your GPU to decide how many RAM you will need. According to Daz users experience, RAM should be 3x more than VRAM to make sure your scene will not run out of system memory.
        • Disk space: there’s no recommended space, but you will need large hard drives because Daz’s library is often large.
        • Graphics card: Nvidia RTX 2060 or above is okay for a good start.

2. Our Solution for Daz Studio with iRay users

iRender provide to you high performance and configurable server system for 3D rendering, AI Training, VR & AR, simulation, etc. We believe that design and creative activities are private and personal that only you artists will know what you want with your animation. That’s the reason why we provide remote servers so that you can install any software you need, and do whatever you like with your project.

You will only need to install your software for the first time, and next time you connect to the computer everything is ready for use.

Because Daz studio and iRay can utilize the power of GPU rendering, we have established some of the fastest server packages with RTX4090 and RTX3090.

One of the best cloud rendering service for Daz Studio

Regarding the most important factor: Graphics card (GPU). Because Daz and iRay recommends powerful cards (especially Nvidia one), we will check the render times of famous GeForce GPUs like RTX 3090 and RTX 4090. All of them render the RayDAnt_DS_Iray_Benchmark_2019A_r4.duf from Daz3d.com’s forum.

The first benchmark is Daz 3D:

In this table of render times for Daz, RTX 4090 is the fastest card, only takes 1 minutes and 4.23 seconds to render the file. When you stack more GPU, the render time will reduce to 25.81 seconds. However, it’s not linear, as 3 x RTX4090 is only 2.5 times faster than 1 x RTX4090.

RTX 3090 renders the scene in 2 minutes 7.21 seconds, about two time slower than one RTX 4090. So it actually follows the trend of Nvidia of making new generation doubles the performance of old generation.

The second benchmark is iRay, same scene:

With iRay, RTX 4090 still shows its superior, with render time is 62.449 seconds. RTX 3090 render time is, once again, about 2 times slower than one RTX 4090.

However, when we see iRay performance on multiple RTX 4090s, the speed is better than Daz test. Here 3x RTX 4090s is about 2.9 times faster than one RTX 4090, so it’s kinda linear when it’s come to speed.

So in general, we can see that RTX 4090 is about 2 times faster than RTX 3090. Multiple RTX 4090s is faster than single RTX 4090, but it’s not a perfectly linear reduction in render time.

iRender provide you RTX 4090 and RTX 3090 server, both of the graphics cards have 24 GB VRAM. The RAM is 256GB, about 10.7 times more than VRAM, so you will not have to worry about the case of running out of RAM when rendering your scene. Storage is NVMe SSD with 2TB for your library content. Processor is an AMD Ryzen Threadripper processor. With those configs, you can be assured that your scene will load faster, more stable when running with multiple applications.

At iRender, we provide you more support than just those config.

Free and convenient transferring tool

iRender offers a powerful and free file transfer tool: iRender drive for macOS and Linux user. With fast file transfer speed, large data capacity, and completely free. You can transfer all the necessary data into our iRender drive tool at any time without connecting to the server. The data will be automatically synchronized in the Z drive inside the server, ready for you to use.

The tool is also integrated into iRender GPU app, an all in one application where you can free your workflow from accessing iRender website, and just have to work on the iRender GPU app.

Flexible price

Beside hourly rental, you can always save from 10% to 20% with our Fixed Rental feature. For those who’s in need of a server for more than a day, or have extremely large projects, we advise to choose a daily/ weekly/monthly rental package. The discount is attractive (up to 10% for daily packages, 20% on weekly and monthly packages), and you don’t have to worry about over-charging if you forget to shutdown the server.

Real human 24/7 support service

With us, it does not matter where you are present – as long as you are connected to the internet, you can access and enjoy the 24/7 rendering services that we provide, and if you meet any issue, our real human 24/7 support team is always ready to support you.

Rendering service supports powerful RTX4090/3090s

When you use iRender, you can free your computer during the hardest and most arduous part – rendering. That is also the reason that Render Farm service is becoming more and more popular and essential. However, as far as we know, iRender is proud to be one of the very few rendering service that support powerful RTX4090 and RTX3090 for Daz Studio and iRay with relatively reasonable price.



		

With the above advantages and the machine configuration package that iRender has just released, we believe that Daz Studio and iRay users will have the most comfortable, quickest, and most effective rendering time.

Improve Your Renders With the dForce Wind Node in Daz Studio

Have you been trying to make your Daz Studio renders better? When considering the dForce Wind Node’s capabilities carefully, it may be a way to avoid uncanny characters in our renderings indirectly, improve the realism of our compositions, and add a fun dynamic to our creation. Let’s explore dForce Wind Node in Daz Studio today with iRender.

What Is dForce in Daz Studio?

To accurately reproduce the physical collisions and interactions of soft materials like cloth and hair, the physics engine dForce was created for Daz Studio. dForce Wind Node in Daz Studio is capable of a wide range of tasks and can contribute to the realistic, natural appearance of your outputs.

dForce is included by default in your download of Daz Studio. 

If you are using dForce-enabled objects, you’ll quickly be able to start running simulations, during which the desired objects will simulate the effects of gravity, air resistance, and realistic collision with other objects.

dForce is handled through the Simulation Settings panel in Daz Studio.

Where’s the dForce Wind Node Located?

 Like most users, you probably scoured the simulation settings panel and couldn’t find anything about the wind node. This is due to the wind node’s slightly different operation. It can be used independently without the need for gravity simulations or the other settings you’ll generally use when performing dForce simulations.

And like a point light or a camera, the dForce Wind Node is a real in-scene component. It won’t render, but it’s still there in your scene. It’s interesting to note that, unlike simulated gravity, the wind node doesn’t apply evenly throughout the entire scene. Instead, the wind is concentrated to a specific spot, with specifically set start and fall-off points. You will set up your dForce Wind Node similarly to how you set up a point light or a spot light.

To add a dForce Wind Node to your scene, navigate to Create > New dForce Wind Node.

How to Use Proper Wind Node Settings?

Once the new wind node has been added to your scene, you should see a wireframe object that looks like this:

If you look closely, you should see a wireframe fan with fan blades. There’s also a cylindrical structure with two parts coming out of the front end of the fan. Think of this cylinder as a wind tunnel. It’s demonstrating the area the wind node will affect.

Within the cylinder, you can see two rings or donut-like shapes. The first demonstrates the radius of the effect, as well as the point where the effect will begin. The final ring shows the fall-off point at which the wind effect will conclude. This can be a point of confusion when configuring and troubling shooting your dForce wind node, so we’ve clearly illustrated the zone of effect in this image here:

As you configure your wind node, ensure that the radius is wide enough and the wind tunnel is long enough to capture the entire area you want the wind to affect.

Important settings to consider are:

  • Strength (mph): This setting determines the strength of the effect.
  • Diameter: This sets the overall size of the wind tunnel effect.
  • Diameter Falloff: This setting dictates the size of the inner rings on the tunnel. From the start of the inner ring, to the edge of the outer ring, the wind effect is going to begin to fall off, i.e. weaken. Outside of the cylinder, wind strength will be zero.
  • Falloff Start (m): This is where the effect begins.
  • Falloff Length (m): This dictates where the dForce wind effect ends.

As you set the wind strength and other settings, make sure to move your perspective view to different angles and ensure that all aspects of your scene that you want to be impacted by dForce Wind falls within the area of the effect. You may set a wind strength but get undesirable results due to fall off or part of your figure being outside the area of effect entirely.

Run the Simulation

Once you’ve got the wind tunnel configured, go ahead and run a simulation, just like you would with a standard dForce simulation. You can do this by clicking on the blue Simulate button located at the upper right corner of the Simulation Settings panel. If you’re only adding wind, default settings will suffice.

From here, it’s no different than running a standard dForce simulation; however, this time, Daz Studio will calculate the effect of the wind tunnel on your dForce-compatible objects.

One word of caution — after running the simulation, you may encounter amounts of poke-through depending on the character and clothing items you used. Fixing this shouldn’t be an issue with Daz Studio’s variety of shaping sliders.

For reference, here’s the same pose with and without the wind node applied. In some cases, the extra details may be subtle, but these little details can really add a lot to your image!

Overall, this is a fantastic approach to enhance your render’s realism and intrigue. It goes well with accessories like draperies and more, as well as with apparel and hair.

How to create 3D hair with Daz Studio and Blender

Don’t get frustrated and pull your own hair out when you can’t get your 3D model’s hair to look the way it should! Working with hair in 3D is difficult. Even people with long experience in 3D art get frustrated by the hassles surrounding 3D hair creation for their characters. That said, you don’t need a team of professional 3D artists to master 3D hair creation!

Realistic or even exaggerated hair to create a stylized look is crucial to achieving a human-like character. Hair is a great way to convey the character and personality of your 3D model, that’s why in this article we will show you how to create your own unique hairstyles with Daz Studio and Blender.

Create 3D Hair

We want to share a powerful tool that works with Blender, a free open-source modeling software, which can help you create your very own amazing hairstyles. This is a third-party add-on for Blender called the Hair Tool for Blender.

Install the Hair Tool Add-On for Blender

Regardless of the software, you choose to use to create your 3D hair, there will be some level of a learning curve involved. If you’re familiar with Blender, then using the Hair Tools Add-on for Blender might feel really intuitive to you.

In case you are unfamiliar with how to get a third-party add-on up and running in Blender, we will walk you through the necessary steps first. Once you’ve downloaded the add-on to your computer, you will need to extract the folder. Then, with Blender open, navigate to Edit > Preferences > Add-Ons.

Click on Install and find the location of the folder you extracted containing the Hair Tool.

Once selected, Blender will automatically install it. All you have to do is be sure to check the box next to the tool so that it activates properly inside Blender’s interface.

Verify that the add-on is loaded properly when you see the Hair Tool appear in the panel on the right side of the workspace.

Use the Daz to Blender Bridge to Bring in a Character

Once you’ve got the Hair Tool add-on up and running, before you can properly create your 3D hair, you’ll want to bring a Daz character into Blender.

The easiest way to bring a character from Daz Studio to Blender is to use Daz to Blender Bridge. You can access the bridge through your DazCentral account. With the latest version installed, go ahead and open up Daz and create your character. We will create a character without hair since we plan on creating custom hair in Blender!

This time, we chose to work with Aiko 8  and the full Bandit Sarah Outfit.

Once your character is ready, export it to Blender using our Bridge. If you haven’t yet, open Blender, and like you did with the Hair Tool Add-on, navigate to Edit > Preferences > Add-ons and search for “Daz to Blender.” Be sure to check the box to enable the add-on.

Now when you look at the sidebar of tools, you will see Daz To Blender on the list. Clicking on it will open the Daz Bridge’s menu. Click on Import New Genesis Figure and Blender will automatically import the Daz character you created!

Create Basic Hair Shapes in Blender with Planes

One of the coolest features of this Hair Tool for Blender is how easy it is to create custom hairstyles. As the artist, you will create the basic shapes and sections of the hair by creating individual planes. At this stage, you don’t need to worry about the individual strands of hair themselves. The tool and texture will take care of this. For now, you just need to create the general shapes.

It is really helpful to study references for the kind of hair that you want to create during this stage. Try to separate the hair into clumps and think in terms of layers. Depending on the hairstyle, we recommend creating 2-3 layers of hair. With each layer, the shapes will become more spread out and more detailed. The lowest layer predominately is for shaping, while preceding higher levels are intended to add detail and style.

Using a layering technique will help you avoid hair that feels flat and two-dimensional. It will add volume and style to your design that will not only look better but also help avoid the scalp of your character showing through, an effect which can also make the end result look worse than you’d like.

These planes are referred to as Hair Cards.

An easy way to do this is by adding a sphere to the scene, sizing it properly to fit the size of the head, then manipulating this sphere from there to create the desired basic hair shape you envision for your character.

Once you’ve created and sized the sphere, it is easy to start blocking out and separating the different hair shapes into their own objects.

Generating Hair Curves

Before you can turn this basic shape into a head of hair, you will need to mark what is essentially the hairline as sharp. Select this seam and then Mark it Sharp. Where your hair varies in shape and length, you will want to make sure you take the time to separate each piece into its own individual object. This is also true for individual layers that you may be placing on top of each other. As you can see, once you’ve blocked out a basic shape and Generated the Hair using the Curves from Grid Surface option, you might end up with something like this:

This basic short bob style is made up of two different hair cards, one for the main shape and one for the bangs. However, this hair would look very flat and two-dimensional. To add further depth, we will continue to layer together more details.

While it may look silly when you are only seeing the hair cards themselves, the important thing is how you have styled the hair into the final look that you want. The separate clumps of hair will add a look of fullness and variety to the hairstyle.

You can shift over to the shading tab to preview how your hair looks and also tweak the color within Blender to get an idea of what your final product might look like in Daz Studio.

There are lots of features included with this tool, so feel free to experiment and see what produces the best results for you. Some settings include the number of strands and how thick each hair strand appears.

Export the Hair Asset as an OBJ

Once you’re finished and satisfied with your hair, all that’s left is to export the hair asset you’ve created as an OBJ so you can bring it back into Daz Studio. There’s no need to bring in the entire character back from Blender to Daz. Simply re-open the scene you originally created the character in and import your new hair asset.

Keep in mind you may need to tweak the position of the hair to get it right where you want it. The best part is, now that you’ve saved it, you can keep it in an easy-to-find location, and continue to use the hair anytime you’d like in any other scene you might create!

Best configuration for Daz Studio with iRender

iRender provides powerful workstation for Daz Studio and Blender users. Users will remotely connect to our server, install any versions of Daz only one time, and easily do any intensive tasks like using their local computers.

At iRender, there are several choices from single to multiple GPU cards for Daz users. Based on your need, you can choose suitable server to help you not only speed up the rendering process but also bring you incredible rendering results.
