I've made some progress in understanding how the node weight maps work in Daz and I'm able to (sometimes) get a d-former to work that way. If you don't understand the d-former basics, you can check my other tutorial on them, which covers what they do. Fundamentally, this does not change. In this case, instead of using a sphere to define the influence, we're going to create and use a "weight map." To draw a parallel, the sphere would effectively generate the weightmap based on where it intersected the model, how far from the center it was, and so-on. The advantage of the sphere is that it is, inherently, smoother. Without going out of your wa

So I thought to share couple of tricks that helped me alot to achieve higher rendering speed with IRAY in DAZ Though most of the experienced Artists must be well aware about those quickies already. It may help newbies or artists who are having old NVIDA GPUs or not so high end PC (like me) Here are some of those tips - 1. Iray Uber shader For IRAY to work fast and best, every object must be converted to IRay Uber shader. if an object/model doesnt have IRay presets, then convert its shader to Default IRAY Uber shader without replacing its images of course! 2. Smaller Texture size- This is just my personal experience for clothing &
