Here you go Richard......I don't understand any of this.....
Try to locate the part in the log where the error is shown, and the log is text you can copy from the log and post into the forum as text which makes it much more readable.
For example, your message excerpt from the log could look something like this, which is what I see when I do a spot render on something with the pwGhost shader (just to illustrate what I find in the log, your error message will be different):
Rendering Image
3Delight message #45 (Severity 1): S2072: the shader 'C:/Program Files/DAZ 3D/DAZStudio4/shaders/pwGhost.sdl' uses a different interface version. Automatic conversion was successful. It should be recompiled for better performance.
While you should find it right at the bottom of the log file (scroll down), if for some reason you don't, you can perhaps search for "Rendering" or "3Delight" to jump to it. I don't know if this is still true, but a long time ago you had to exit DS to flush the file buffer to the log file, so if you looked in the log while it was running you wouldn't necessarily see everything in the log. Perhaps it only happens intermittently, or perhaps that is no longer an issue, but if you can't find the message, try exiting first (but remember then all the exit stuff will be in the log after the message you are searching for.)
The error message is not displayed in the piece of the file you show. If you want, you could send me a PM and attach the text file to it and I can search through it.
Alternatively, open the file in Wordpad, click the binoculars icon to get to the search function, then type whatever you want to search for ("3Delight" in this case) and it will move your cursor to the first matching piece of text.
HOWEVER, this log file includes many sessions, and you want the LAST one in the file. so you need to keep hitting the "Find next" button until you get to the end (it will wrap around to the beginning again I think, so you'll need to watch for that, then either remember where the slider was and jump back to it or just do the whole thing again.
Looks like tldmake has problems with a .tif image from Skies of Economy. I've seen that before, can make render times longer. Just don't know why it happens.
