Have been looking at the info in the tab for render settings for Daz Studio.  Where can I find bit information for the image?  Is it possible to choose 8 bit, 16 bit?

  • I don't think that is possible, but if you go to the advanced tab > canvases and add a beauty canvas, once your render is done and you save it it will create a folder with the same name +_canvases

    and you will find a 32 bit .exr version of your render in there

    jpg and png are only 8 bit as far as I can tell.

    You could use the exr and photoshop/gimp to output to a 16bit jpeg/png

    Whilst I think about it, don't compress the jpg due to its lossy nature; in other words, compressing jpg means they loose information.

    Yes, the best options for saving a render are the non-lossy .png and .tif (I always use .tif). After I've used postwork to add titles, credits, etc. then I do a final save as .jpg.

    I've found the easiest method to recreate old-school style 3D renders is to just render it normally and then use compression filters to give it a 90s look if that's what you're after.
