External Rendering on Macintosh

barrieM

I need help from Macintosh users who are knowledgeable about external rendering. I am currently trying to use iRender who claim to support MacOS and Daz Studio but the setup is so far, difficult. 

I upgraded my iMac to Catalina and DS iray rendering would not work. I downgraded to Mojave and had the same problem. I now have a Mac Mini but they require an external GPU. I could add an eGPU for around $1000  but I would rather rent time on a server or buy an affordable plugin. I looked at Octane but thought it was too complicated in that it required manual conversion of iray shaders and materials.                  . 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
