Description
As some of you know, Daz has updated and now the default render engine is iRay. Well, I had to play around with this some. I can tell you this is definitely going to take some getting used to; but I can sense the output quality of images can certainly increase if one learns to master it. Sadly, I don't have the correct graphics to get the fully expedited benefits; but compared to other similar render engines I dabbled with, this is still much faster.
Anyway, this is just me playing around a bit with my selfie, some props, shaders, and lighting. I'm quite surprised; but also sense that on a few of the images I have created, I've been a little lucky here and there too.

If this is any indication of the new DAZ, it appears that you have mastered the new upgrade very well, graphics notwithstanding. Splendid depth, color, skin tones, clarity, ad infinitum in this offering. You are so talented in this genre. What kind of vehicle is that in the background? Oh, did I forget the stunning femme in this creation? Gorgeous. First thing I thought of when I opened this.
The vehicle is the Baja Bug by DzFire at Daz3D. I had recently purchased some Iray shaders, like auto paint, and had to try them out. They look wonderful! Even the metal shaders in the one pack work wonderfully, as seen on the tubes for the bug's frame, or the polished aluminum of the wheels. The lighting was done with another prop I purchased, though after seeing an online tutorial I have since ventured to try creating and tweaking some myself too. As mentioned, it's going to take some work to become good at.
Wow, this turned out really nice! It's a lot more interesting than my first attempt at iRay. We all have some learning to do! Nice car and nice "selfie"!
