What's the difference between preload and ready scenes? Why would I choose one over the other.

    A preload is typically just one 3D item in a product while a scene is typical most of all of the 3D items in a product loaded into positions that make sense to form a complete scene. For some products that have only on 3D item in it, a preload & a scene will wind up being the nearly the same thing except the scene will typically have render and other settings that a preload can't have.

    Thanks I kinda had a feeling that was the answer. BTW LOVE your "Runaway" render that is a great recreation.

    They don't have fixed meanings, but I would geenrally expect a preload to have mutliple items in place, corectly positioned, but not otherwise finished while a read-to-render file would usaully have lights and cameras, so it was literally ready to be rendered (os just to have the figure/clothes/hair added)

    Sorry, but Richard is more correct than my answer, although a definition is not really set in stone. It is the case that more often preloads will be identical to a scene but sans all the render settings, cameras, and lights.

    Thanks. I should try & copy that "Runaway" scene again as DAZ 3D models, the iRay SDK, and DAZ Studio itself has improved so much since those days.
