DAZ 4.14 questions regarding filament / new filament products

chrom

Hi,
there is mentioned and shown that filament render is very fast.
What is regarding the new  filament products athmosphere, fire , light pro?  Some pics looks really nice.
How much time lasts renders with these products?
& How much time lasts setting up the items / presets within these products?

Hi chrom. I'm just learning about this too I downloaded Daz Studio 4.14 and can see that filament is a render option. It renders instantly but shadows and some other features or effects are disabled

Shadows can be enabled. It is a hidden option under your lights. Rendering, at least at 1920x1080 is very fast. It is just a couple seconds. Compare that to Iray (using GPU) that for my renders is often many hours.

If nothing else it is terrific as your viewport renderer.

I have not used the filament products.

The biggest downside from my point of view is that emissive lighting does not work. I use that a lot. But this addition is terrific even if I never use it for more than the better viewport rendering.

Yes , I saw in video. 

But bought you mentioned products
