Denoise renders and save a LOT of time!

I stumbled across this thread over in the DAZ forums [ https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/316206/denoise-renders-and-save-a-lot-of-time-nvidia-not-reqd/p1 ]
I had to try it out. This image was rendered at 3840X2160 @ 10 Iray iterations (1 min render time). Then I ran it through denoiser.exe (4 sec), The results blew my mind.

Here is another test rendered at 4300X1950 @ 10 Iray iterations (1 min render time)

Of course, these would be better with longer render times

Your "Iray Surfaces and What They Mean " is the most helpful article I have read in ages. Thank You.
I am an utter total DAZ beginner, and a tech-ignorant old time, a remnant of the pre-digital world.
Thank you!

You are very welcome!

I purchased your Fast Fog product and it renders really quickly. It looks fantastic but can I make a suggestion, or perhaps I can do this in Daz?. I would have liked the rocks in my scene to gradually fade into the distance the further away they are from the camera. Is there a way of altering the transparency of the fog planes so I can use several planes at once to create this?
Wonderful product and I recommend it!

SickleYield Featured By Owner Apr 28, 2019 Professional Digital Artist

Layered transparency is always a little tricky, but you could try placing several planes one behind the other and gradually turning up the cutout opacity as they get nearer the rocks you want to end up hidden. Alternately, if that ends up rendering very slowly, you could try using a transmapped front plane AND using an atmosphere cube:

[Tutorial] Creating Dust And Atmosphere in IrayA video version is here.
I learned this method from jag11 on the DAZ3D forums, who is thanked for permission to use it in this tutorial!
In 3Delight there's no way to create atmosphere or godrays (the rays that are visible when light passes through dust or particles). There are products to facilitate (one of them mine), but most are either not the easiest to use or ultimately just a faking of a feature the engine lacks. Many artists use postwork instead.
DAZ Studio 4.8 Beta's new Iray engine also lacks a native mechanism for creating atmospheric volumes - but it can be easily convinced to produce them! They will come from your lights and react to objects in your scene. I did a test image of Jack Tomalin's Chapter House Iray scene (free to Plat Club members

Thank you for the reply...love the tutorial.

I don't know how to contact Daz studio, so I ask here.
I can't log in. When I try, I get this message: "Your computer is listed as having malware. If you believe this is an error please contact our customer support."
The fact is, i haven't understand how to contact them, since I can't login. And English isn't my mother tongue, so some difficulty comes from there.
