Ensure you are using the latest version or newer of Daz Studio (currently 4.22). BETA versions are also supported.
Set up your scene as usual and save it, or, load the scene you wish to render
Check the render settings, ensure you have the max iterations/time/quality set appropriately.
Click on the Bridge tab. You will find the Bridge tab under Render Settings > Advanced > Bridge [BETA]
Enter the following details:
Server: irayrenderserver.com
Port: 9090 (default) or 7070
Untick Secure Protocol
ENTER Your username and password
Click Add to Queue and enter a job name when prompted. Note this name (not image however) is viewable by anyone in the queue, so feel free to keep it as anonymous as you wish. No special characters in the job name either please (- / _ * etc).
Please be patient while the scene is uploaded to the server. It may appear within Studio that it has frozen, but it is working. When the progress bar completes, the dialog boxes will disappear and you will then see the job on the server.
The main server port is 9090, but if you need to use the backup server, please change any reference of 9090 to 7070 and you will be on that server instead.
To monitor your job/queue open your web browser and enter http://irayrenderserver.com:9090 (or http://irayrenderserver.com:7070 if suing that) and log in with the same username and password above.
The Queue section is where you will see the current and queued jobs on the server. Each job has shows the owner, priority, title and progress. If it's your own job, you have the option to stop or copy the job also. Stopping the job will cancel the render and lose all progress that it has made. Note that this time taken will be included in your usage to be sure to only cancel if it's really necessary. If you wish to copy the job, you can do so and at the same time change any render parameters you wish.
Job priority is by default set to 100 for each user. Lower priorities will allow the job to jump the queue, but this won't be enabled unless it's critical to do so. On the whole, the server will operate on a first come first serve. If you see jobs on there with higher priorities, they will wait their turn.
The server does allow job orders to be changed by clicking the icon on the left of the row (3 dashes). While you are allowed to reorder your own jobs, please refrain from simply jumping above all the other jobs in the queue. Persistent offenders will have their accounts immediately without warning. Again, this only works if everyone plays nice and fair.
Clicking on the job title will display the job details.
Once a job is complete, it moves to the Done section at the bottom.
From here, you can copy the job to re-render if you need to adjust any image settings (resolution, iterations etc). The names need to be unique.
Please remove your job from the server once you have downloaded it. I will periodically clear the cache and results folders to free up space, so leave renders on the server at your own risk.
Cicking on the Results tab will allow you to see you're completed renders, along with a download link.
Once you have your completed render(s), you can then clear completed jobs using the Clear button in the Done section of the Queue tab:
