# Rendering Modes

Daz Studio working with Iray Server gives you two options to render your projects:

* Queue
* Streaming

Queuing your render creates this batch process (that renders in the background) on Boost for Daz, while you continue to use your computer. To queue your render, connect to the Iray Server on the machine of your choice on Boost for Daz, and select the ‘Add to Queue’ button (Render Settings tab). DS will ask you to give the queue job a name.  (Note:  do not use any special characters - e.g. \*,&,^,%,$,#,@ etc. - in the job queue name. If you do, it generates a blank render!).   \
\ <mark style="color:blue;">**Tip:**</mark> <mark style="color:blue;">Rendering via Queue on Boost for Daz does not utilize any compute resources (for rendering) on your local machine, and so you may continue to use your local machine.</mark>\
\
To manage (start, stop, download) the Queue, you will need to login to the Iray Server Admin page (with the given credentials on your Boost for Daz Dashboard).  Here's how you do that.\
\
Rendering via streaming is immediate. When you hit the render button, after connecting to the Iray server running on Boost for Daz, a render window will appear along with a progress window. The upload progress window will track the building of the render package and the upload to the iray server. The Render window will successively update as the render process progresses until the completion of the render. Though the actual rendering is being done on the Iray server on Boost for Daz, the rendering via Streaming option does utilize some computing resources on your local machine to update the render window.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.boostfordaz.com/using-boost-for-daz/rendering-with-boost-for-daz/rendering-the-daz-project/rendering-modes.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
