You Never had to Save Me by DogWorks on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

My version of Lucy from Edgerunners. Not perfect, but you get the idea...

So, render tip for the day... In render settings, under the 'general' tab, I usually set the Render Target to 'direct to file', & under 'progressive rendering' I change the update interval from the default 5 to 60 seconds. Depending on the scene, I usually see a pretty significant speed boost, but your mileage may vary.
However...
If you do render direct to file, be aware that any sort of emissive textures/materials will not render properly. I remember a similar issue back when I was using Vue, but it would give you a warning. Daz, of course, does not...
