Tried both and both sucked for me. I even reinstalled DAZStudio because I liked Octanes speed. It was just annoying. Did a render and everything was ok. Just moved the camera a little, changed a position of a char or asset for a few pixel because of clipping or something like that, restarted the same render and Octane zeroed the char and threw assets around. But not every time. If there would have been a way to find out why it happened I could have find a way to avoid that, but it was just random. And you couldn't undo the changes. Even for a short test render I had to save the scene to be sure work did not get lost. Octane was fast but disappointing for me.

100%. "If done properly"
. There's good anal where it's (initially) done gently with care and consideration, but then there's painal with some clumsy ass dickhead who just wants self gratification (which sounds like it might be op's only experience in the matter, if any). I spent most of my young(er) days as as a sailor and then a few years working in night clubs (and, without trying to sound like too much of a wanker, wasn't too bad of a looker, if I must say so myself ) so I think I can comfortably say I've sampled a bit of the demographic. There's a lot of women out there who think they wouldn't enjoy it but are pleasantly surprised once they actually try it and are lucky enough to share the moment with someone who does know the ins and outs (per se). I've also known women who love it and prefer it to vaginal. Personally, I think anal's far more intimate than vaginal and, with a bit pf practice (breaking in period) is way more intense for both parties. I anal, it's just sitting down afterwards I have a problem with .

Yep, my eyes aren't great anymore and be buggered if I can spot any significant difference.

Am I the only one who stuck with Octane plugin? I could never go back to Iray. I'm on a 1080ti and all my renders take 30mins at most usually 10-15min. The worst part of Octane is the documentation/online tutorials and how unbelievably well hidden some features are.

I really like Octane, but I think that DAZ is just a program that isn't fit to deal with Octane properly. That is, why I transitioned more and more over to blender in the past, and aim for the complete shift. The implementation of Iray inside DAZ is just badly executed. And the limitation to CUDA is nowadays nothing but a nuisance. Sadly the devs of DAZ are just too incompetent to bring DAZ bridges and plugins for other render engines back on track.

So here is the iray and the octane in the same post. Same scene, same lighting and camera settings, auto generated materials.
Iray
Octane
I can safely say I much prefer the Iray result. Sure, Octane took 35 minutes while Iray took about 72 minutes, but the result is a lot better in my opinion and a big plus is that Iray doesn't freeze my pc when rendering, making it unusable for the render time.
That's not to shit on octane, I am pretty sure that people can make amazing images out of it. It's just not for me, when I want to quickly set up a render when I get back from work, while watching a movie or something. It needs a lot of tinkering.
For the most keen eyed, yes I used scene optimizer for the Octane render. Another con of the plugin. While Iray just..renders, Octane freezes and needs me to restart Daz if it goes above the vram available on my system. Which adds another 10-15 minutes to load the model etc. In the end, the tinkering needed with the odd freeze/crash/whathave you/the material generation etc, the total time spend (for me) is much more than the Iray render and with worse results.
One caveat, I absolutely adore the work it did on the render with the see-through dress on my first post here. But I had spent 3 days tinkering to get that result.
For reference, I'm talking about this one.

At least you tried seems I might be lucky with my system, lots tips for Octane I can but it seems you don't really have the time for it.
my last post is a 30min render with a volumetric light on a 1080ti
