IRay is a Brute force path tracer orginally marketed to the Architectural & product visualization industries. It is a loss leader product to foment NVDIA graphic hardware sales.

It was never intended to be an animation production engine.

which is fine, as Daz Studio is not a software that any professional would use for Character animation production as it has no usable foot floor contact IK system ? and its new timeline/graph editor is so poorly designed and glitchy that you are better off using the Old Graph Mate/keymate plugins .?

Also Most Daz store content is bloated with 4K even 8K textures that are wasted on anyone not using a 4-8k display that can actually view a 4K image at full resolution, and utterly ridiculous for a GPU dependant engine Iike NVIDIA IRay .?

Glad to see you getting a better result with Octane. although beating IRay in a speed test is fairly easy thing to do these days to be honest.
