Can use another render engine?

joseluiszanotti

Hi, I want to upgrade my graphics card. Right now I have an old gtx 670. I was looking for new cards and looks like RTX 2070 is a good card, but can't afford it. I found that amd 5700 RX is not so expensive (at least in my country), but dont support iray. So I want to know if if possible to combine another engine that support and cards with Daz. Thanks

No. Maybe in a few months the Google Filament render engine will be available in DAZ Studio. As it's cross platform it will surely be slower than iRay but likely much faster than iRay CPU rendering if nVidia, intel or AMD GPUs are the graphics engine on the target platform.

To use another engine in the same was as Iray and 3Delight would require a custom plug-in - such as the one for Octane (still needs CUDA for GPU rendering as far as I know). There's Luxus for Lux render https://www.daz3d.com/luxus . Alternatively you can export the scene after setting up poses and models, then open in another engine and sort out the materials.

Possibly the Reality plugin, or luxus, and the Luxcore renderer.

or export to blender and use AMd's Prorender.

Animate2 mdd export imports pretty well as a Lightwave cache on something exported as an obj and imported keeping vertex order in Blender

Ok, thanks guys,  I see that is possible to export daz character to blender. Maybe can test blender to made some animations...

(or save some more bucks and purchase an 2070 instead a 5700 XT :/

Yes, used diffeomorphic plugin last night. at least can import a genesis 8 male. Not bad. Will read a few posts/comments about use that kind of pipeline not 100% sure that is good to export/import files between diferent softwares.

It is a bit of a fuss, but it gets you around some of the limitations of Daz Studio, at the expense of some more work in advance.
