File Upload Process

I pressed the render button in Daz Studio, what happens now?

Once you are properly connected to an Iray server on the machine of your choice on Boost for Daz, and you press the render button, three things happen - which make up the ‘upload’ time:

• Building the Render Package

• Uploading the Render Package to the Iray Server

• Rendering your scene/project.

Daz Studio builds a render ‘package’ that includes the base .duf file and the enhancement elements. Depending on the complexity of your scene, Daz processes all the elements, instances, textures, and geometry’s that constitute your scene. (render package build time). You will notice that a small .duf file size can quickly mushroom to a much significantly larger file (render package) at this point. Once Daz has completed building this render package, and since you are already directly connected to the Iray Server - Daz begins to upload that render ‘package’ to the Iray Server on Boost for Daz. (upload time) Then, once the package is fully uploaded, the Iray Server starts rendering your scene/project. (render time). If you selected the Queue option, then the rendering happens in the background and you can continue to work on your computer. However, if you are rendering via streaming, then you will see the render progress in the render window. Once the render is complete, you can now view the completed render.
