My Last Iray Renders

I decided to share some of my last ever Daz/Iray renders from way back in February 2022,

These were all destined to go into Sleepy Hollow as chapter header images but after the Daz 4.20 update that would lead to me switching to Blender as my rendering suite these images became defunct, so rather than have them sit on my hard-drive to be forgotten I though that I would share them.

When that Daz update happened in February, like almost everyone else my Iray totally stopped working I was around halfway through writing Sleepy Hollow and had completed almost half of the chapter pieces so finding myself having to shift software was a big thing, in the end it worked in my favour as I still find myself stunned at what can be done with Cycles.

This piece was to display Evelyn's descent into a life of slavery and degradation, it was where finally all the elements that I had been testing came together, volumes and lighting in particular to get the god ray kinda thing and that mixed texture on her skin.

These were probably as close to actual photorealistic pieces as I would ever get with Iray

I hope you enjoy them.
