Working through this model off and on today.
I didn't want to use 100% Evenstar because she's really similar to the real life person, but this girl uses the same texture maps.

Just messed around a little bit to get a feel for renders. this one took about 4 hours to render. I need a better computer if I want to start my own project soon, that much is certain. lol.

If you know how to do the post-work, then the time from render to finished image is a lot less.
Hardware power is the brute force way to do the hobby. I don't think it's the most effective. IMO, most people don't need power as much as a broader skillset towards art production.
Most of my images in this thread took from 30 minutes to 1.5 hours to render (CPU only, no CUDA cores for Nvidia gfx acceleration).

And to do proper post work I need proper hardware. the render it self took about 4 hours yes, but the work for it was like tripple the time or even more. So it is a mix in between, ofc the prework is very important, thats why i mess around with renders.
unfortunaly I´m at a point where daz 3D likes to take to many time in Iray preview if I have more than 1 character, so I have to blend things in and out for several times to keep up my framerate. that means I definetely need a better hardware. But I know where you come from, you are right about that.

All I did was run it through intel denoiser and in photoshop added one layer gaussian blur as softlight @ 37% opacity and one layer desaturated with high pass filter set to overlay and opacity around 50% literally took 3 mins to clean it up.

Thank you very much!
I´ll look up how I have to do that, never used something like that, but it will improve my renders so much, that I feel I could finaly start with my project.no problem anytime. I actually just found out about Daz like a month ago so I am just learning myself but I have used Photoshop for over 10 years so I guess that helpsThank you very much!

Been a few weeks since i first posted some of my attempts at getting my head around more complex lighting and camera effects, turns out vignetting is a bit of a silver bullet for mid to low light portraits.
Second one feels like the weakest of the three, elbow position is a bit too stiff, lighting isn't right either but it's all in the name of practise, right?
Most pleased with the first one, no coincidence that it took twice as long to set up as the others. If anyone is interested i'm building a stable of characters for some practise renders before i dive into game development, next up should be the athletic blonde or the brunette and her BF, we'll see what happens after i organise my daz library, so see you at Christmas .
