DAZ Studio Iray Solutions Workshop

This community workshop is to have a focus on lighting and rendering your scene with DAZ Studio’s Iray render engine. We’ll have a focus on 3 point, HDR and Sky Dome lighting as well as tips, tricks and resources to help rendering with Iray.

This is a community workshop. If you have a useful tip, render or lighting/Iray product to share, even if it’s just for a few minutes then please get in touch!

I’d like to pack the session with as many high value tips as possible, such as…

• Scene types : Indoor and Outdoor
• Environment mode combinations : Dome, Scene, Sun and Sky
• Considering HDRI
• Intensity settings

• Positioning of the sun or other light sources

• Scenarios : Studio setup, outdoor/indoor scenes and dark (night) scenes.
