Daz devs are absolute dogs. If they had any brain, they would stop with the coomer barbie bullshit, and focus on some more interesting use cases.

They could open source the whole platform. Help people integrating stuff like Stable Diffusion into to platform, so you can do do inpainting and img2img straight from the studio. People could also start to make their own HD morphs.
They could make make official blender and UE rigs for the G8 and G9. They could kill the Iray and opt for something that both Nvidia and AMD cards support and while at it, kill the filament too and get the unreal renderer for real time.
They could implement stuff like soft body physics and better animation tools.
Daz shop would be a place for people to buy assets not only for daz, but for blender too and other 3D pipelines.

Shit could be so big and dominate the whole 3D scene, but they are not doing anything.

slow as hell in DAZ. If you want to CPU render you must have a good reason besides "I dont have a GPU" since CPU rendering is always superior in quality but its always super super slow.
>Iam tired of managing the textures size and shit to keep the scene below 12 gb
how do you hit 12 gb on textures? What are you using? 8k - 16k full lossless PNG? Create your own assets or at least edit the store assets manually and you can do a lot on 12 gb (I have 8 gb VRAM myself)
>Amd or intel?
intel but dont go that route please.
>>928973
Okay will do then anon!
>>928976
well in your case I would do minimum paths when tracing and no sub divs. Also render in chuncks and not the full image at once.
I am pretty sure you can cut those 20 hours down to something like 4 hours without any loss in quality (still way too slow but).

Might have found the reason why Iray has the same plastic-like look that older computer graphics used to have. It uses Phong BRDF. Everyone else, including real time game engines, moved to more physically based distributions like GGX a long time ago.

well I am used to working in UE3 so it was a bit of a jump for me. I only used UE4 a little bit and made a couple of mini games and such.
UE5 is really only interesting for me when it comes to rendering because of nanite. Making massive landscapes and environments in DAZ, Blender or Maya is just such a pain and process power needed scales to the extreme. With UE5 I can much much easier create what I need.
Also after setting up your mats for your DAZ models its very easy to use them. Sure UE5 lacks some things that you need 3rd party tools for but since I am used to working in Maya I really am not missing anything.
Only thing DAZ got going for it is the amount of content at hand. But since I have been moving to custom unique content (making it myself) that aspect is not as appealing anymore.
Also ive been working on animations and want to do short cinematics and DAZ is practically useless for that.
Anything in particular you are interested in? Also UE5 documentation is 100x better than DAZ.

I can get a new 3090ti for about 2/3 the price of a 4080, is there any reason to get a 4080 for DAZ rendering? On paper it seems inferior because it only has 16GB of VRAM compared to the older card.

[Anonymous No.929384]

>>929380
the 4000s series is shaping up to be a useless meme series. 3090ti is a bit slower, but it has more vram, and more cuda cores, making it a better choice for daz, especially since it's cheaper too.

Hot take:
Daz should turn Studio into a FULL Blender addon and just dump Studio the standalone program. They obviously either don't have the needed manpower to maintain and further develop a standalone monstrosity like this or are actually incapable.
The viewport performance is ATROCIOUS and their render engines are sluggish and limited.

Just turn it into a complete addon, maintain it and keep on trucking with your shop. They'd still make mad dosh with their catalog while not having to come up with solutions to keep their ductape ghetto-fixed monstrosity of a clusterfuck program somewhat running. Everyone would win.

Some CAD programs have it, but seriously, how often do CAD people need to make high quality renders? Not very often I would guess, and when they do, they will probably export the model to some other software. It is just there to have something more than a basic bitch openGL viewport.

But I don't think high VRAM usage is exclusive to Iray. I have seen Octane take even more. It is because DAZ assets use tons of high res textures.

I had a similar idea for something like this in Daz Studio. I was planning on using joints and creating a non-dynamic soft body effect. The issue is that it's very geometry dependent so the end effect will pe dependent on how good the topology is. An advantage is that it would also be editable in the viewport. Too bad their SDK is depricated and have no idea how to create an add-ons for it.

[Anonymous No.930183]

it says right there bud, latest dev version I could find
also remember to uninstall it completely and go to the blender directory where plugins get installed to and delete it from there too otherwise you'll get some conflicts and it won't work right, struggled with that for a couple hours

also I always have to set the transparent light bounces in the render setting to like 30 or 40 other wise the hair planes will block each other and make it look black in some parts, about strand hairs no idea haven't messed with it

[Anonymous No.930184]

You need to do each character individually if you want to get them right, I take around 1 or 2 hours messing with each of them and their shaders to get them how I like

scenes on the other hand, I just went into DAZ, opened and saved this scene and imported it into blender and viewport rendered it in the time span since my last post, no messing with materials or anything, so judge for yourself

Gen9 have a more uniform even base mesh that makes it great for using as an actual base mesh for a host of different characters. However the face only has 30% more vertex than gen8 and most of those are not located in important areas (which makes using gen9 a bit of meme).

Do I have to restart DAZ Studio every time I make a new render? Because when I try to render something, it properly uses my GPU (RTX3070), but if I keep using the program, it only uses the CPU. For comparison purposes, a render that takes 40s can take 10 minutes because the iray falls to the CPU (of the same scene, which occupies the same amount of VRAM)...

[Anonymous No.931923]

Are visemes and jcms rig-based or mesh based?

Basically if I import a rig with the jcms and visemes i want to blender and parent a mesh on it there, will i get them?

[Anonymous No.931924]

>>931921
Okay, I found some information, apparently sometimes the program doesn't clear VRAM after rendering something, and on the next rendering attempt it will simply assume there isn't enough VRAM and use the CPU.
If I go into the "render" part and then "advanced", and check the CPU+GPU, the memory is immediately "cleared". So basically before you do the renderings you need to check CPU, then uncheck it to free up VRAM for the next render.
This is bizarre but apparently it works...

[Anonymous No.931927]

>>931924
Wow. That's a great tip. This thing I just did forced me to render one person at a time because it kept lying to me about not having enough memory. Despite being able to draw it in iray preview with no issues.

[Anonymous No.931928]

>>931927
The iray preview also seems to consume some of the VRAM so it is better to try to close its frame before rendering for real. But I never did that before (even with a prehistoric GPU like GTX 980) and I had no problems. I don't know if this is a somewhat recent problem. All I know is that the 8GB of my RTX3070 doesn't seem enough for even the simplest scenes.

[Anonymous No.931929]

>>931928
I also recommend downloading this program to monitor the GPU. When I click on CPU in the rendering part, I can see that the memory used immediately drops to 2.8GB. Then I remove CPU and leave only GPU checked (seems like the right thing to do).

>>931960
>so gen 9 is a bust?
well obviously. Its such a minor difference that it should be called something like Unified Gen 8.2. I mean its just there so they can sell you more stuff (cant blame them for that) but really it offers very little.
As I said its better for doing non-female humanoid characters like monsters. Its also better at doing male models than gen 8 male (but not much).
All in all its just plain meh and I get that most people cant be bothered to adopt it fast. It will properly become the go-to over the next 2 years or so (unless DAZ release Gen 10 which is actually a noticeable upgrade).
lastly gen9 is a response to Metahuman with its more game friendly UV/base mesh layout. It just so happens that metahuman is a nothing burger that nobody really cares about.

I'm having trouble determining what is using the most memory. I believe textures are much worse than geometry, right? But I have found that applying more light sources also requires more VRAM.
For now I am betting that textures are the biggest culprit and as an optimization I will just reduce the resolution of all of them.

yes ofc textures / shaders take up a massive part but do not underestimate just how silly large some assets are in vertex count. We are talking millions of vertex for some stuff. Something like that will eat 512-1GB of VRAM simply loading the assets coordinates.
So unless you need to, do not subdiv, dont use default hair and such. Use the good old tricks of bump and normal maps to avoid that insane amount of mesh density you need for fine detail.

Yes, but I want to create custom deformations. I can't show it here because it is an NSFW image, but with Mesh Grabber you can for example take some vertices of the boob and pull/push, etc. If done carefully this creates an interesting effect. By the way, the Mesh Grabber is useful for several things, such as deforming a cloth when it is clipping somewhere.
DAZ Studio has this function by default, but the mesh grabber is a shortcut and you don't have to do anything but click and move whatever geometry you want.

to clarify, after you done wrapped the model and imported it into daz, load it, and sub divide it to 3 or 4 depend on your liking but 2 is more than fine, and then export it. Remember to delete eye lashes and stuffs.
Then you project the original head to the exported models, using zbrush. Then export this projected model. Then use xNormal, use the projected model as high poly.

>I used to be able to render my image in 15-20 mins in 1080p. Now, it's barely doing 100 iterations per minute.
Unless you are rendering a really dark scene or with fog you shouldn't need more than 2000 iterations ever.

Daz's fuckery. Last month its hell, because Nvdia drivers updates killed dForce and destroyed render times.

I'd have to get a new psu for the ti, I think I can barely get by with the one I have rn for the non-ti version

Can you guys recommend any good assets for drinks? and there is a surprisingly low amount of assets for a red solo cup every made glasses.

any marvelous designer chads. When I import the morph back to DAZ and fit it to the character It's lower than it should be when I have it at 100%. Any way to fix this? I can't just translate the clothing up a little?

[Anonymous No.932568]

>>932565
What I'm talking about. If I could just move it higher up it would be the perfect fit. But I have to fit it to the character for posing and it's lower than where it should be

I paid $1400 for a fucking RTX3070 back then, but I had no option because I depend on the PC to make money ($1500 a month or so). Now I live with the reality that 8GB of VRAM is nowhere near enough to render stuff.

You could get a 2060 12 gb for like 400 usd mate. and it would do the same \job

Iray is probably rendering with the CPU. Not even when I had a GTX980 did it take this long to render a scene. Monitor the GPU usage when rendering, the program GPU-Z is good for this, just click on "sensors" and see the GPU Load.

[Anonymous No.932588]

>>932586
no it would not. Not only is the 2060 12GB much slower in render times it also has ½ the VRAM. And for anything 3D modeling / rendering outside games = VRAM is king.

Guys, is it possible to use a "simulated" sky box? More or less like Unity or Unreal where they simulate an atmosphere depending on where the sun is, creating a dome?
Or do I necessarily need to use an HDRI for this?

[Anonymous No.932645]

>>932642
that is already built in. Just go to render settings and use Nvidia Iray standard time of day.
