Hi Westcat

I've had some good results with Marmoset Toolbag, but you do have to export your animation via fbx or alembic from Daz Studio, and sometimes there are issues with the exporter and the way Marmoset interprets the data (especially with blendshapes, if using only bone animation, it is not a problem) It is relatively cheap (I believe indie pricing is around 200 bucks) and it is fast (it is a pbr renderer). If you are willing to learn it UE4 is also blazing fast, but has a steep learning curve with textures and lighting (in my experience) Iray is very good, but it is slow. I have to do things like render in passes and composite in other programs. Here's a link to my vimeo page, where almost all of these were rendered in Marmoset
