Image to Pose doesn’t have any license or DRM protection, and future versions won’t have it either.
Render Accelerator does, because it’s a much larger project that I spent months working on. It’s also a project I want to keep developing as long as it continues to generate enough income to support that development.
But as you can see here, the moment people see a program with a licensing system, some of them become unnecessarily hostile and start mocking it. They completely ignore the fact that sellers spend months developing these products and do it to improve the Daz ecosystem.
And that’s despite the fact that I already offer a free one-week trial for people who don’t want to pay, and I’ve also promised to release a free version later on.
If there is a Render Accelerator release which does not have an on online requirement, I might then consider it. 🙂

One of the upcoming releases (after Daz 6 compatibility is added) will include a version that doesn’t require an internet connection. I already announced this on my Discord server a few weeks ago, so this isn’t anything new
a version that doesn’t require an internet connection
And this version will be severely crippled and/or won't save the final render and will constantly play ads telling us to buy the full online version. Spare us, we've heard it before.
This really was an entertaining read. It was so entertaining in fact that i just had to make myself something to eat while reading it. thx everybody!
The saddest part if this story is not the beef between the guy who made this soft and some members of this forum.
If one guy not being a part of the company managed to significantly cut rendering time on his spare time, it means Daz is definitely dead. People are complaining about rendering time since age, and they claim they can't do anything about it. That is either blatant incompetence or they don't give a fuck anymore.yeah, I wonder if the daz forum users have anything to say about it. That Richard dude will defense Daz vehemently, for sure.
Does it actually cut rendering time down though? It's virtually the same amount of time as rendering with post de-noising. The only way it would is if there was actually 0 quality loss which I am not sure is true.
I used it during the beta and got the same results @outro posted about. It did lower the render times. I rendered the same scene twice, once normally and once with the program, and it went from about 1hr to 30ish minutes. At first glance it looked similar but it was noticeable in the light reflections on hair, skin and the metal on clothing. Skin and hair looked smoother with the program. I render in 4k, mostly portrait style, and I would definitely not use it for that as I'm looking for the most detail as possible.
The quality loss you are talking about was an issue in the beta version... i really liked the program after using the beta so i ended up buying it. Current version is much better. Render times are even shorter now and the renders actually look more detailed than normal daz renders. Skin, hair, and fabrics all look noticeably better in accelerator renders now. Those issues seem to have been fixed since the beta. Developer also mentioned that the problem was related to the denoiser, and V1.4 added an option to disable it completely.
I honestly think this program has been getting way more criticism than it deserves on this forum. It's easily one of the most impressive things I've seen for daz.
That's good to hear, I wouldn't be opposed to buying it if it goes on sale to give it a go again.
@marii0
If we disable the denoiser and set the quality to the max, how much time do we save on rendering?
