I can't help feeling that my Iray render miss an extra "oomph". I'm looking at standalone renderers, do you have one to suggest, if you do 3D yourself?

Year in review: 2020/2021
I missed the anniversary this summer, it's been 6 years since I started posting fetish stories here and on Patreon! Looking back at last year's post, it's also been more than a year since DA changed their UI for the worse, at least they fixed (most of) the lag. On my side, I'm jobless again, and focused on my Patreon and freelancing (and somewhat ended up with less free time). Got my two shots and I'm confused at people who protest the vaccine passport. No new paycomics, while they were fun to do, they were very time consuming and weren't worth it in the end. COMMISSIONS Slow year too on this side, stream sketches from @Sensuax , @immortaltom and @theTransformistress , colored with various levels of quality by me! ANIMATIONS So many animations. Here are the ones I can share here, the other ones are either commissions or too smutty! Still super jiggly :p . You may have noticed the uploads have slowed down on Da, I currently focus on two long stories on Patreon so I ran out
Artist spotlight: uh it actually got worse edition
Oh boy, when I wrote last year's Artist spotlight, I didn't expect 2020 to turn into a pot pourri of dystopian movie plots. Anyway, Deviantart is still my happy place at least, despite this shitty new UI (wait, are we in the bad place?), so here's all the new art: PAYCOMICS Two more paycomics, based on Suckubus and the final part of Chaos sisters, with unique twists! Art by Xgeek, Hsefra and , covers by boxofwant and ! COMMISSIONS Once again pieces from , lovely streams sketches from I colored, art from based on this story, I trusted for a ref pic with an outfit design (with gorgeous result), I finally scored art from taboolicious during a stream, some appropriate YCH from with past and present characters, and finally what would be an artist spotlight with a furry cameo, from ToasT: ANIMATION I got into cutout animation! Thank you all artists who trusted with their art, including , , , and . I love how jiggly my gallery became: Even full pages: If you want
Eclipse extension project?
So, this is the worst case scenario where the new UI is terrible, the admins probably won't do anything for years, and there's no convenient alternative to post long galleries. It got to the point I'm considering hiring someone to make a Firefox extension and improve it. Namely: - zoom and uncrop pic when hovering over the thumbnails instead of dimming them - default to "all" when checking the "watch" page - white background on text - remove a deviation with del key, either from the deviation page or the gallery with the mouse over them Please post more possible improvements in the comments, and contact if you are fluent in HTML or have someone to recommend.
Tutorial: more natural fit with Dforce
We've all been there (well, if you're all doing fetish 3D comics with giant boobies), for some reason the figures aren't designed to accomodate some body shapes:
Daz Studio now has a physics engine to simulate clothes, which offers an unexpected solution to this. First, select the prop you need to fit, and turn it into a dynamic surface:
Optional
to only simulate a part of the surface, Create/ New Dforce Modifier Weight Node and in Tool settings/ Node Weight Map Brush add the Influence Weights map and remove the area that shouldn't be simulated (paint with alt key held):
Note that all the surfaces of this prop are converted. If you don't

Like MrPhoenyXXX, I've used Firefly and Superfly from Poser and LuxRender through the Reality plugin. I've also worked with Daz Studio's 3Delight and Iray.
Several months ago, I purchased Octane Render. It's expensive, but so far it has shown to be worth it. I've found it to be far more responsive and faster than Iray. Aside from Redspec's shaders, there is not a lot of shaders available to buy. Octane does come with a database with thousands of shaders to use. You can test Octane with the free demo plugin for DAZ Studio.
As for Iray, it looks like your scenes are evenly lit and kind of on the bright side at least on my monitors. The lack of contrast makes the picture look flat. And, that an issue in any rendering engine. I wish I more time to discuss the merits of 3 point lighting. You might want to try lowering the intensity of the overhead lights to not wash out the colors and flatten the shadows.
