Just thought I would throw in something I learned a long time ago about some of the DAZ render settings.

Max Time and Max Samples are settings that will terminate your render when one is reached first. In the image posted above:

• If it takes 5000 seconds to render 100 iterations, it just stops rendering. It will also ignore your iteration and convergence setting.
• If it reaches 7200 iterations in less that 5000 seconds it will stop the render, again regardless of the other two settings.
• If it reaches 95% converged before 7200 iterations or 5000 seconds it will stop rendering.

My understanding on convergence is it is looking for the number of pixels that did not change from iteration to iteration within some sliding scale based on the number you set for Render Quality. That is just an educated guess based on what other people have tested for themselves.

So in the scheme of things you can usually set Max Time and Max Iterations to their maximum values and then adjust the resulting image quality you want to acheive using the Rendering Converged Ratio (BTW, setting it to 100% is not recommended) and setting the Rendering Quality to some number greater than 1. I don't actually know what Render Quality does, but seen it posted that it improves the overall output image.

Thank you for more details answer.
I read this in some one tread. Trying use this knowledge for my render settings.

I do the same as max time is set to zero and lit is set at 3k max but I have gone as high as 5-7kbut I normally stay at 3000 lit

I like to make a small request to the talented and competent artists here?
For the beautiful and enchanting young ladies Faye, Lois or both together, I would like to suggest wallpapers of them, like your created arts you posted here already - with backgrounds.
Maybe someone here has time and muse for something like that. Sunrise or sunset, beach, city or landscape panorama, the possibilities are endless. Dresses, jeans, shirts, they look great no matter what.
Thank you in advance.

I do the same for fast rendering. Set the max samples to 500 and look at possible problems with surfaces. If scene haven't large count of objects render doing 1-2 min

Me too. I change render settings all the time.
Basically I change the rendering resolution and the max samples and max time settings.

Sometimes I change the render quality, but render engine start using CPU instead of GPU

Krull you postworking is insane, so beautifully and charming
I'm trying to work in PhotoShop, but only through online tutorials

The best approach here is like studio photography, have the raw image set from the start in accordance with what you are after so will require less post work.
As for photoshop or in general better said, learn the basics of colors Hue-Saturation-Lightness and exposure + curves for an overall mood setting.
And the interaction between colors, how they neutralize, boost each other.
Black - darker , grey - neutral, White - brighter it all starts from here by adding hues values into the mix.

Here's a psd to help you understand better, i'm not much of writer, in short luminance\lightness is more than light it affects colors tone too and opens new paths and you can add color mix, blending, etc... in it.

That's very useful to know, thanks, m4dsk1llz .

Gawd bloody layers

Gawd bloody layers

You can package those layers in a LuT, have it nice and tidy, thou there exceptions on which type of layers can contain.

I use LuT and sometimes RAW on my renders but at the moment I am trying to remember who make Cigs as it has been a long long time since I have made any.

What do you think Wanda smoking a pipe

 

[Night Hacker]

What do you think Wanda smoking a pipe

To say I hate smoking is an understatement, but that's mostly cigarettes. I did like the smell of my father's pipe. And his side is from Quebec where the older women especially used to smoke pipes. So... maybe she has a French heritage?

That would be a no then Night Hacker

I got rid of the facepalm as pipe smoking isn't too bad. Mainly cigarettes.

I think Wanda doesn't smoke. As a principal, she should be an example for kids... but this is fan art
Pipe sounds not bad unlike vape tube

Sounds weird but I wana see this

How about Nicole, Janet and Wanda in tuxedos smoking cigars while sipping whiskey, like in men's clubs?
