Rendering
I am working on a test render right now. It's a science fiction scene using DAZ sets and props, and characters I frankensteined together from base figures, using skin builders and various hair, customizing their features, costumes, props. etc. And using a lighting scheme I accidentally discovered when doing a SEEKRIT ART PIECE for an upcoming exchange (it will be revealed in due time) and loved.
The render's been going for almost two hours now, and the little history doohickey still says 0% even though there's quite a lot of render visible. There's a metric fuckton of lights and metal surfaces of varying degrees of reflectivity, and it's calculating light rays bouncing off of all of that because I cranked the sampling up for (eventual) quality. Which means it's sloooooooooooow, even on my hot rod of a rig.
This is just the bit I can see all at once--while I can move scrollbars on the side and bottom while the render is going on to see what various bits of it look like, I can't zoom out or in, as far as I've been able to tell. The entire canvas is 5000 x 7500 pixels, and the two figures only take up about half of it. (yes it's a book-cover ratio; if it turns out well I'll make it a premade cover.)
It might look OK to you right now, but you might be able to see the readout on the upper right says 0%. And this image is shrunk down from its actual size, which gets rid of a bunch of the pixelazation and noise.
This is actual size.
Anyway, hey ho. Oh look it just tipped over to 1% done as I was typing this! Whee!

That is just...same as it ever was, isn't it? Remembering Caligari in the Amiga labs at Algonquin College...

I'm trying it again, but this time rendering the figures separately from the background and adjusting the number of samples higher for better quality.
