Running DazStudio 4.8 and Reality 4.1 can't find LuxRender...

in Technical Help (nuts n bolts)

I used to be able to restart a reality render by opening it up in Luxrender.  I would do that if I wanted to render it longer after I had closed it.  Now I can't find Luxrender anywhere on my computer?  Is this no longer an option?  Where did my luxrender go?  My OS is windows10.  NVidia card.  Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-5820K CPU @ 3.30 GHz 3.30 GHz Installed RAM 32.00GB 64 bit operating system, X64-based processor

    Did you upgrade to the latest version of Reality?  If so it installs it's own version of LuxRender in a location of it's choosing.  Check the Advanced or Outpiut tab in Reality and it should show you where it is.

    Yes, I realized Reality installed if for me, I just couldn't understand why a search of my system didn't find the .exe (or any files called luxrender) file for it.
    I had found a go around.. while rendering something I pinned Lux to my toolbar.  When I want to open a file to render further I do it from there.  But I will
    check the output for the actual install location :)  Thank you for answering!

    Check the "Programs" folder on your system drive. There you have a folder named "Reality_DS" (I am not at home right now, but I if I remember correctly this is the name of the folder). This is where Reality is installed. And inside this folder you find another folder named "lux". This is where Luxrender is installed. Inside you will find the luxrender.exe

    It's the "Renderer" button (left hand side of dialog) off the Render tab where you need to look.
