PROBLEM WITH IRAY RENDER

ale.bersanetti

Hi, suddendly Daz crashes when i launch a render, as you can see from the picture, it starts with a white image, but after 40 minutes nothing appears. No matter how many lights or how many characters in the scene, also with jobs that one hour before i rendered in 10 minutes, now Daz isn't able to render at all. i've also reinstalled Daz 4.10, but the problem still remain. What's happened? Thanks to whom will help me.

I'm still here, i've checked better and i saw that Daz is applying Mesh smoother as you can see from the picture, on the bottom you can see 68% after 55 minutes! I never had this issue before. If i start the render now, it show a white window, but the render will come maybe in hours. Please let me have your suggestions. Thanks.

it's unbelievable, after Daz finished Mesh smoother, it turns in those artifacts you can see in the picture below. I've rendered that character a lot of times without any problem before...

What artefacts? Most of your screenshots don't show a render at all, and the smoothing image shows SubD not smoothing (SubD smooths, but it's a different entity).

I'll try to explain more clearly.
Check the difference from picture 1 and 2.
In picture 1, Daz is calculating Mesh Smoother (i suppose) check on the left corner at the bottom. After 55 minutes is still at 68%, it will need about 75 minutes for finishing and the result you can see in picture 2, with artifacts on the shoulders. I tried to launch the render anyway and in picture 3 you can see the results, the artifacts are in the render too.
I built the character from genesis 8 after a lot of morphs, face and body. The suit is from the old Tuxedo for Genesis, that i've fitted in my character with no big problems.
After placing the character and propos, Daz slowly starts with Mesh Smoother and it doesn't start rendering before finishing. Days ago i've rendered the same character in different poses without problems, (see picture attached) i tried to restart old renders with different characters too, but Daz always starts with Mesh Smoother calculation. In previous renders Daz started immediately with render, with transparent window and i never saw Mesh Smoother. If i try to exit from render, Daz crash and close. Probably i've setted something wrong, but i can't understand what. Let me know if it's clear enough. Thanks.

Can you turn off the mesh smoothing?

ale.bersanetti

I don't know how to do, do you have a suggestion?

Richard Haseltine

OK, your screen shots show the Parameters pane, but you don't have the coat selected so it isn't all that helpful. It may be the smoothing itself, or it may be the collision target (if one is set).

I found the problem: Parameters-Mesh smoothing-Enable smoothing-Off. Now it works fine
