I am the author Lyle Aryn. Writing is my first love, my one true passion. Every since I was able to string a sentence together, it's all I've wanted to do. Websites where you can find my work and more are below.
I started using Daz Studio October 23rd of 2018, just as something to dink around with. I'd been signed up with the sight for a while, and would occasionally remember to check for freebies. I was surprised at what I had when I finally loaded up the program. I just started playing around with it, figuring it out. I'd say about 92% of what I've learned in the program I've learned just by playing around with it.
In December I went from being a dutiful son looking after his mom, to the full-time, no nights or weekends off, caretaker of my Mom. As someone who struggles with depression, anxiety and a mood disorder or two, this change has had a drastic impact on my own personal care and well-being. I turned to my blossoming love of doing digital art as a way to cope with the mountains of stress on my shoulders. I do miniature painting, too. But when you haven't slept in 4 days, handling a brush can be very messy. Not being able to paint to my own personal satisfaction was making this avenue of relaxation increasingly frustrating.
Daz Studio has an undo button that you just don't get with painting miniatures.
As my skill with the program grows, so does my confidence. I did the cover to my fifth novel, "Because the Night" using Daz Studio, as well as new covers for two previous releases. (Though they haven't been updated just yet.)
I'm looking to always improve my artistic work, no matter what the medium, and Daz Studio is no different.

nice work lylearyn ... i like that ,,, not that you think i am a voyeur but the idea is great
LyleAryn
Lol. I'm glad you like it. And whether you're a voyuer or not, well, that's your business... grin
Have a happy day my friend!

not sure if the gray left side of this image was intended or not. but all I can view from phone or desktop I about 1/3 of it on right only. part of girl chatting on left is hiding behind gray wall? dang, long render time. I would not have the patience.
LyleAryn
That is intended. Hence the title, "voyeur." The viewer is catching a glimpse of something they perhaps shouldn't. Thanks for looking!
OkrimSlava
very well.
LyleAryn
Thank you

Nice work. Interesting composition, and quite brave... I can't bring myself to leave half a render clear of detail, I'd be struggling to find things to put in the space. Which would ruin it...
LyleAryn
It was a gamble, to be sure. I decided the view of the voyeur was the right call, so I hope I was right to make it.

On the technical note, It is a big set but I have had no problem with it crashing a system. I have noticed that the render times are a bit irrelevant for me. By that I mean, i achieve a high degree of convergence in the first 1/2 to a full hour of rendering. Greater than 90+%.
Now the remaining convergence can take significantly more time, as you suggest. For monitor screen views of already lossy .jpg's there is no significant difference to my eye that justifies the additional render time. Now maybe if you were going for a 'print quality image' you would have to accept the additional time required. But you would never use .jpg as a file output format. As far as I know. 'osity requires we submit in .jpg, so i just blow it off and pull it to post after i get above 90%.
I would be interested in knowing your hardware config and OS environment. I suspect you are experiencing a lack of hardware resource as opposed to 'brain1969's environment. In the end though, I would agree that 'brain1969' bigger sets will definitely tax systems that are entry level / mid level boxes that are not set up to be render potatoes. Sorry for blathering on. It's the old Engineer in me coming out...
BTW, your POV is quite interesting. And Yes, ISPBahnhof is just chok full of office revelry and grab-a3$ from what I hear.
LyleAryn
I save to a .tif, then convert to jog for 'osity. I also now render at leask 2k, but generally 3,000 pixels high.
It took a long time to hit 1%. But it was never rendering on the CPU. It took a long time to lose the graininess, even whwn it was something 24%
I don't believe its the set, though. I believe I'm overdue for a reinstall of my system. I'm kinda putting it off lost past time, actually. The goal is to build a new PC 1st quarter of 2021, and build it as a dedicated render box.
Thanka for looking, and the feedback.

This is nice work. It does convey the idea of somebody spying on two people who thought they were alone.
LyleAryn
Thanks. I'm so glad that came across!

Great extraordinary composition!!!!!!!!!!👍🙋♂️
LyleAryn
Thank you! I'm glad you like it! As it was rendering, I kept trying to scroll sideways just to see a little more, lol.

intriguing
LyleAryn
Thank you my friend

Grin - Very funny one & cool dedication! 😊
LyleAryn
Thanks! i'm glad you enjoy the image!

Sounds too complicated for me! 18 hours eh? And this is the result. I could never..... well, lets just say, if it takes over half an hour, I cancel. Nice start though.
LyleAryn
Lol, thanks. I'm patient, I guess. Plus, I got books to read when the computer is busy! I'm hoping to build a new machine this next year, just for rendering, and then I'll be able to switch between the two and play games while the render machine is busy. Hopefully when I'm ready I'll be able to pick up a nice RTX card for the purpose.

beautiful intimate scene,
LyleAryn
Thank you. I'm glad it's been so well received, despite the choice to have the majority of the render be a grey featureless wall.
