Very very realistic, Cath. Awesome. I'd been playing with Iray for many years in 3dsmax. It's fantastic, although I still prefer Octane. I feel as if Octane has the more mature material options, and more options for rendering either biased (very fast Direct Lighting kernel) or unbiased. Iray is a great engine though, which can take advantage of CPU as well.

We use Iray 2015 not the old one .. DAZ studio is the first to have it .. and it have as much option as possible also direct light etc..like in Octane and you can also add as much stuff in the scene Octane would be choking on with simple card , I really like it better as I don't have to export import just do all the work in real time inside my scene .. and that is comfort

Glad you are back on rendo Cath! Would love for you to do an Iray render of my new character (see my gallery) that I created and will be releasing soon :)
