I’m trying my luck with Blender 2.92, which is installed in a custom location. The DAZ to Blender bridge doesn’t work like any of the other bridges in DAZ Studio 4.15. Please forgive my attitude, it’s been a long and trying day, and it’s late. These are those notes, valid for that time in late June 2021 and bound to be totally out of date (like every piece of documentation eventually will be). I’ve just found out how to do that and thought some notes for the inevitable future must be made (I’m prone to forget and all). The first hurdle was of course to install this thing. But, a lot of time has passed and several updates have been released, so I thought perhaps I should try again with version 2.3.9. Starting with the latter.I have to be brutally honest with you: last time I’ve tried the official DAZ to Blender bridge I didn’t have a great time. So it is one of the differences that you should just accept.Įarlier I have mentioned that we will also look at the Eevee and Filament, so let’s do that. In Blender, they are not as shiny and metallic.

This is especially noticeable with shoulder pads and boots. Cycles render looks more vibrant and colorful, while Iray is more down-to-earth and realistic.Īnother thing to notice is that some materials do not match. In the end, they look different and that was to be expected. Look-wise I tried to match everything as well as I could.

Besides, Iray is infamous for its slow renders, so it is not a big surprise.

But at least because Cycles can utilize both your CPU and GPU power at the same time makes it a faster rendering engine. It is very hard to say for sure, as I have already explained. Overall, speed-wise I would say that Cycles is faster.

Samples in Blender do not equal iterations in Daz Studio, you can’t compare them like that. You see, each rendering engine is unique. Even though 600 samples in Blender sounds like twice as much as 310 iterations in Daz Studio, this is not totally true. I tried to guess this to match the 10 minutes mark and almost got it right. You must decide how many samples you want before starting the render.
