Hi folks,<\/p>\n
Yep, still busily working on novel. But I find that without my forays into art I feel empty. Yes, I need both writing and visual art.<\/p>\n
So I figured that I would play a little in DAZ Studio. This was frustrated for a week when my PostgreSQL database (the thing that manages all my content in DAZ) decided suddenly not to work. Stupid message about not being able to connect user. I Googles this, found it to be a common problem, tried all the proposed solutions and found that they appeared useless, and then did a complete delete of everything even vaguely DAZ related on my machine with a complete reinstallation and voila!<\/p>\n
So after all that I figured that I would try the Iray renderer that NVidia now supply.<\/p>\n
Now let’s be clear – I did actually fiddle with Iray for about an hour when it first became part of DAZ. At the time I decided that I loathed it because I could not get it to do what I wanted it to do. BLAH!<\/p>\n
Well, this time I decided to actually read an online tutorial instead of just experimenting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
