FYI...

From the Substance Painter forum:  https://forum.allegorithmic.com/index.php/topic,25046.0.html

Yes, you're right, I am having issues with Daz3D's rendering as well. I think it is related to nVidia iRay, since both substance painter and Daz use it.

For quite a while, Allegorithmic has been recommending an older set of Nvidia drivers.  (See link in the thread I referenced.)  Some people work fine with the new drivers, but many people need to run the older ones.  The "fix" is out of Allegorithmic's hands; it's an Nvidia thing.  Hopefully it all works great for us CC3 and iClone users.

Isn't technology fun?  Some days I have to remind myself that this is a hobby, and I do it for fun.

iClone 7... Character Creator... Substance Designer/Painter... Blender... Audacity...
Desktop (homebuilt) - Windows 10, Ryzen 9 3900x CPU, GTX 1080 GPU (8GB), 32GB RAM, Asus X570 Pro motherboard, 2TB SSD, terabytes of disk space, dual  monitors.
Laptop - Windows 10, MSI GS63VR STEALTH-252, 16GB RAM, GTX 1060 (6GB), 256GB SSD and 1TB HDD

This makes the plugin totally useless for any, and all, outdoor scenes at the moment. As with the Indigo nightmare it would once again appear that RL are neglecting the needs (hopes) of animators and trying to grab the DAZ market share of pretty stills.

Agree，improve real-time render engine will be better method (like eevee), unless develop half complete plugin.

I can understand popcorn fx... But water and speedtrees? This are so BASIC! I would rather wait than get a half finished plugin

Agreed. I don't really see the point either...

It would also be nice to have much better examples than with Indigo (once the plugin is mature) of sizable animated iClone scenes. With, like, you know, some action...

Looks like I just saved $50. If I invest wisely, it may grow to the purchase price of the full-featured plugin once ready...

Question, can the Iray Plug-in render 3D and Panorama?

Its a paid plugin? Like indigo? 

Yes and yes.  <g>.  Looks like the price will be around $100, or you can preorder now for $50 (with CC3).

Seems to me that for $50 it's worth a shot no matter what, although I don't hold out much hope for using it myself (but I did preorder it).

Oh I see. I'll pass. Indigo was never fixed. I'll stick with the realtime renderer.

i WISH THE ENERGY POURED INTO THIS WAS USED TO GET SUBSURFACE SCATTERING IN THE REAL TIME ENGINE. tHAT WOULD BE AN INCREDIBLE IMPROVEMENT TO IcLONE AS A PRODUCT OVERALL, AND MAKE NATIVE RENDERS STAND UP way better to commercial animation. (sorry caps lock)
