what environment did you use ?Hey buddy, sorry for the slow reply again, I haven't been on here for a bit due to rl commitments and I don't get email notifications. Thanks again for the poss feedback.
Yeah, lighting makes or breaks a render. I'd recommend to anyone interested to check out photographic lighting. I'm kinda lucky having a background as a photography enthusiast (from the time when film was a thing), even made a few quid from shooting model portfolios. Admittedly these "models" are a shit ton easier to work with and don't argue no matter what you make them do. Still not overly confident with the digital rendering/Daz side of things.
You're very right about expressions and the small details, they really do make all the difference with putting interest and feeling into a render. Practice makes perfect I guess., we just gotta keep cracking at it and, in time, it'll all come together.

Two lovebirds riding out ...
Tell me, what you think of going through the hassle of smoothing (indentations in this case) with "helper-objects" for each and every render that would need it in the real-world.
One is with smoothing on, one with it off. I know, it sure looks more "real" with this kind of effect on, but could/can you tolerate that for the sake of simpler composing? It doesn't impact the render-time once its done, but beforehand it can be a lot of work.

I forgot to add focus to this one, but it took over an hour to render at 4k so it's remaining focus-less lol. Anyone have tips on conveying emotion through eyes? I tried here, but she looks more maniacal than anything else to me.
I have a couple more images from this set, let me know if anyone wants to see them.

I ended up going with 5000 samples. I've attached screenshots. Not sure if you can tell on this internet forum, but in the originals I can see faint differences in the wall texture at 500 samples, 5000 samples, and 10000 samples, and I decided 5000 was a good balance. It's definitely not the same detail I get from rendering to 25000 samples, but even with my 3080ti those renders were taking over an hour due primarily to the darkness of the scene. At 5000 samples the renders are taking about 14 minutes, and since I've got over 200 renders just for this animation alone that was about as much time as I thought I could take for each render. Edit: That's at 1920x1080.
So basically your advice has saved me over 150 hours of rendering time just on this animation.

A relaxing full-head massage at the end of a hard working day.
Sorry for the hair, have to use a new rig, with newly installed DAZ4.20 and it is not very cooperative, because suddenly it thinks, the setup no longer has the ability to use dforce ... ERROR INITIALIZING OPENCL KERNELS.
Thanks DAZ! Changed from W10 to W11 and DAZ 4.16 to 4.20
Was using a Radeon RX 5700 before with an Intel i9-9900K before and also now.
Anyone to enlighten me?

Firstly, check you have everything, such as OpenCL, & anything else that maybe missing....

This happens to me sometimes I either close everything down and reboot the PC if that doesn't work try saving just the female model as a subset and loading it by it's self then try simulating sometimes the problem fixes it self.A relaxing full-head massage at the end of a hard

Also make sure you have drivers updated.
