Have you tried to render her without the hair? Some hair assets are memory hogs. Might be worth a test. Beautiful skin by the way.

I believe that this kind of rendering with a volumetric light will be faster in canvases renderings. And put it all together on PS.

I've actually managed to optimize everything on that character. Complete set including hair, subd level 3 takes 700mb vram including geometry and textures. My problem is with another scene. Thats actually why I had to optimize the character to hell and back
If I add three of that character to the scene it passes the 8gb vram I have on my dedicated render gpu. Not using any screens on my 2070Super so all the memory goes straight to daz. Have a gtx970 installed for my 2 tv setup. It looks like iRay uses more vram than it says for some reason. Will have to dwell further on that. Thank you for your comment on the skin mate.
I would create a shadowcatcher primitive below the character or render with dome-off ground-on style to be able to transfer the shadows to the post composition mate. Nice lighting btw

They're such weird shadows with HDRI light.
It looks so much like the skin has a neck problem... I think I'll stay with my ghosts lights less shitty and less greedy...

Still, it looks good mate. One more suggestion if I may. You can create a sphere spotlight right above her head and move it a bit back and adjust bloom to achieve realistic lighting effect that can sorta consume her horns (they are called horns right?). If you play with the sphere height you can probably achieve the same soft shadows too. Just a suggestion tho.
Good luck tomorrow

Could you please elaborate on that shadow catcher thing please ?I would create a shadowcatcher primitive below the character or render with dome-off ground-on style to be able to transfer the shadows to the post composition mate. Nice lighting btw
Thats a bit long to explain mate. You can check

page with the demo images and instructions. It is basically a primitive to catch the shadows without letting itself show in the render. You can think of it like casting shadow to the air itself. Planar surfaces can be shadowed that way like a bench, wall, ground, table, wardrobe etc. Or you can catch the shadow separately and try to warp it over more complicated surfaces via Photoshop or any powerful image editor out there.Yep, quality art is time-consuming, but it's definitely worth it. Wow great job on getting Daz to create these quality of images.

I agree. and in my opinion when creating a game you must find the middle Gold. Be able to produce quality art and incredible speed. Otherwise it will take you ages to create your first game.

? You don't need products for that. Just in eye parameters set Point at: to camera you are using for the render. Works fine for me everytime.

I just do it manually and it works great for me. However i mostly like the character to be looking at something or someone, I think it gives more character that way. because sometimes when the character is looking right at you, it's kind of like a blank stare.

Indeed it works but its bug a little, like loading a duf with this option makes the eyes no longer look at the camera at all and you have to remove pointing at it and put the option back. And you also have to check the settings of the expressions for the eyes because "side by side" and "up and down" and others always directs the eyes so the best is to put these parameters close to zero, because light adjustments allows to refine the eyes fixed on the cam.
Otherwise there's that

Thanks ! This is going to save me a lot of render time ! (Here I just render the girl and the environment separately)
