DS Render Error Message "S2074" When Spot Rendering

Subtropic Pixel

Hello!

I'm getting this error message when spot rendering at maximum quality.

The render is producing washed out skin as you can see in the image, and I don't know if this has any relationship to the error message.

Are the two related?

Depending on the answer, my next question might be how to fix my lighting; in which case I'll submit more information in a subsequent post...

I am getting that error message during "nonspot" renders too.

When I see it, I cancel the render - because it's not only washed out, the textures just aren't there - it seems to be SSS (just a suspicion, because it is always the human skin that goes missing) - and restart Dazstudio, load the scene, render ...
Don't ask me for an explanation, please.

LOL, I totally understand.

I ended up shutting off all the lights that came in the preset (uber? Really?) except for one spot, and here's what I ended up with. Still lots to be done; it's a concept piece I'm thinking of for one of the contests... But so far, yeah...I'd buy her a drink! :-)

But that's the odd thing; so far very few lighting presets have EVER worked for me. I just have to add my own and I always seem to get much better results.

The hair is "Actual Hair", which I've been messing about with for the last 2 or 3 hours, and the dress is some morphing thing that seemed to fit. That's a sheer see-through part on the shoulders, not a double-image.

Looks really nice!
