Yeah, like Quadruple-q said you probably just need to up those samples. 500 is very low, I usually have mine on 2560x1440 resolution and max 5000 Samples. My renders usually take somewhere between 20 min-60 min, it depends entirely on the scene. These are the Progressive Render settings I use:Hello guys.
I just started using Daz 3D and tried rendering a few images, but all of them were really grainy. I tried experimenting with lights, scenes and tone mapping but nothing seemed to help. Recently I tried different render settings based on tutorials I saw, however the results were basically identical and both of them took about 5 minutes to render.
Here are the 1. render settings I tried + the result

... and here are the 2. settings + the almost identical result

As you can see it doesn't look great and I'm not sure what else I should try.
Would someone be willing to share their render settings and/or some tips for less grainy renders? I want to try to make a 3D game in the future and I see so many high quality renders w/ sharp details etc. that are shared here, so I figured I should ask for help. Also links to any helpful tutorials are welcome, Thanks.
With a 4070 you have a better graphics card than I do, but I'll say it anyway in case someone else can benefit: You can shave time off your renders by increasing the minimum update samples and the update interval. That way your card isn't wasting time on updating your render view-port. When I was using a 1070 I could shave off 20+ minutes doing that on some scenes, it was wild.
Since you say you are a beginner, I just want to make sure you have your Advanced render settings set so Daz actually uses your GPU, and NOT your CPU when rendering because that's just going to make stuff take forever.
As a bonus, if you want help with setting up good lighting I highly recommend Rauko on youtube. He has some really good guides on how to set up portraits and stuff that (IMO anyway) looks really good. Here's one:

There are loads of stuff on Daz for beginners on youtube, other than Rauko I would also recommend The WP Guru and Steven David:

All three of them has random Daz-guides on shit that usually comes up, or at least did when I started using Daz.
