The new DAZ Studio Studio 4.20 is out of beta and it updates to \u201cthe latest version of iRay (2021.1.0)\u201d. Meaning we get the volumetric depth-effects (i.e. lights shining through fogs, hazes, mists etc) that the iRay devs have been working on.<\/p>\n
The iRay devs also noted on their tech blog\u2026 \u201cdramatically decreased host\/CPU texture memory usage\u201d for this iRay version. Which many people doing CPU-only rendering and\/or more-or-less real-time viewports on CPUs will welcome. Yes it is possible to run iRay on CPUs alone, if you have enough of them and a streamlined workstation. It\u2019s a myth that it only runs on expensive NVIDIA graphics cards (GPUs).<\/p>\n
4.20 is also said to have lots of bug and stability fixes. As with all shiny new software releases, it\u2019s probably best to wait a few weeks before install, to see what problems the early adopters encounter.<\/p>\n
Update: No, I can\u2019t recommend it\u2026 as it can badly screw up the Viewport. There\u2019s a major bug with the SHIFT + F11 fullscreen, with this current installer version.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The new DAZ Studio Studio 4.20 is out of beta and it updates to \u201cthe latest version of iRay (2021.1.0)\u201d.
