What is causing this?

    I fail to see how uninstalling Daz Central would have any affect on the opperation of the DS program itself with regard to render times, but apparently it did for you. Can anyone suggest why it might?

    Honestly though, those last renders look more like 3dlight and not iray but maybe I'm wrong. Can you try re-rendering the original images you posted in at the top of the thread with the original iray settings?"....

    OK...here ya go. This is a less than one hour render of the same thing. All setting are the same as originally done before I removed the DAZ CENTRAL. It has some noise but it is a whole lot better. The original render cooked for about a half a day. Look at the difference. Also, it seems like there are some models that just won't render well at all. This one has a huge point light in the center of the room overhead as well as the window lighting. There are multiple shadow angles going on. I am gonna try to do another render of this with all the lights off and just use the headlight and see what it looks like. I remember I had this issue years ago with another model I bought here and after a review of it by Daz team, they also had the noise issue and refunded my money. Here is the one hour new render. I have included a screen cap of the settings I used and as you can see, it is a Nvida Iray engine render.

     

    You're definitely rendering in iray, what I think you've misunderstood is what method of rendering iray is using. Your using your CPU running at two cores, which is why it's taking so long.

    This is a freebie, so I have this scene as well. I'm going to see how it looks when I render with those settings and see how long it takes on my CPU vs GPU and see how fast the noise resolves on both.

    *I forgot to ask what res you're rendering the image at. That would make a big difference!

    Is that really a valuable use of your time. 

    It's no big deal. I just set it, go watch some tv and check the log for render time. :D

    So far I've done both the 1070 and the 970:

    970: 56 minutes

    1070: 37 minutes.

    I'm currently running the CPU test, so far at 3% complete and 13 minutes run time it's noisy but not too bad, it's way less noisy comapred to the OP's first post, but the environmental lighting is different and I'm not using any addiontal lights except for what loads in the default scene. I dunno. surprise

    Removing the ceiling light will lessen the necessary calculations for Iray, so it will render quicker as a result. The render looks better and more realistic IMO.

    With regard to Daz Central, do you think that unstalling it has somehow made you CPU rendering more efficient, released some sys ram and lowered the CPU load. The only way I see this happening is if Central runs as a seperate program like Install Manager and is eating up your CPU resources while it's running.

    No it's not free. I paid like $15 for it here. It has now dropped in price...maybe because it is so hard to render it the way it is set up.

    It was a freebie once, probably the weekly freebie or the monthly PC+.

    According to the "once thursday..." thread it was a PC+ weekly freebie last december (released on december 30th)

    ...looking at the order history for that day, yep was free as I was and still am a PC+ member.

    One thought, to view a product page and have it show the 30% discount for being a DO requires being a PC member, so wondering how it cost 15$.back then.  It is beyond the 3 month limit for a "new release" as well
