How to set-up in order to continue operating DS while doing iRay rendering?

Richard Haseltine

If you render in the beta and pose in the release build, or vice versa, that might work - but remember that rendering takes a lot of system resources.

I'm on windows 8.1 and I can open up the same version of Daz Studio twice. Open the program once, then right click on it's icon in the taskbar, click Daz Studio from the popup menu. For me it opens the program again, so that I have 2 different Daz Studio windows open that can have 2 different scenes loaded, or different instances of the same scene. I just checked to make sure and I can render in one while working in the other....

You do need to bear in mind that launching DS, or doing File>New or File>Open, will clear the Temp folder which could break a render in progress.

I take it the computer needs the resources to do this? I had a second instance with a scene loaded I was going to work on and when I hit render in the first instance studio crashed. I persisted, studio didn't.

More than likely, you need a fairly powerful PC.

Yes running a second instance while rendering in 3delight is very resource intensive, it can be done but its far from ideal, and if either scene is particularly complex it gets pretty much unmanagable. Its one of the reasons I switched to Reality.

 

Richard Haseltine

Yes, that too is a potential issue.
