I've read a few posts regarding Grainy Iray Renders and how to fix this problem, and that the result is a much longer render for darker scenes. So far my render has taken 24 hours, 39 minutes and 47 seconds and it's only at 60% complete (it's been at 60% for 10 or so hours). lol - Is this the norm for a darker render? I remember Carrara would take some time to render, but DAZ Studio 4.9 is now the winner!

You could try making it brighter, then adjusting the Tone Mapping settings to darken it - a cheat, but it's what they do in Hollywood.

Not a bad idea... Not a bad idea at all...
Over 30 hours now. lol
I hate to stop it at this point, but I'll try a little post production on the next run for sure ;)

I am here all day by stealth tparo. It is just the Daz members are such pillars of the community here at Rendo(*Disclaimer - At least in the Daz Forum) I rarely need to climb out from under the rock from where I hide.
