Hot Topic: Daz Studio 8 and Iray
Daz Studio is generally regarded as the most user friendly software option for 3DX artists. Add in the fact that its available completely free and you can see why so many artists use it. However as attractive a package that sounds it’s render engine (3Delight) is regarded as lacklustre compared to others such as Luxrender or Octane. The big news is that the latest version of Daz now includes Iray offering the potential of high quality renders that can hold their own against the big boys…and once again its free! If you’re an artist what do you think of this development? How will this development affect Daz’s software rival Poser? And if you’re a fan of 3DX who is tempted to take the plunge into making your own art would this make your decision easier? How will this development affect Daz’s rival Poser?
