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?@outro
It depends on the scene... my regular daz renders usually take around 40-50 minutes. If i set effort to normal the same scene renders in under 8 minutes. Quality is identical to normal daz render, not worse or better. If i use max effort though the accelerator result actually has more detail than the regular daz render. Skin pores, hair, fabrics etc... look better. That usually takes around 13-14 minutes. Dont know how it manages to cut render times by 4-5x and still look better, but somehow it does lol..Also i use the dlss and the new lightmix extensions. They add around 30 seconds or so to the render time

ll buy the offline version if its out.. After reading everything on here, I think going for a offline version, is a good choice.Most of us, are using DAZ offline and want to keep it that way.
I think you created something with great potential even the DAZ devs never did before.. so props for that.
I just installed a non-beta version. The catch is that I have to request an activation key from RenderHub to prove I actually bought it.
With the beta version, well, the deadline had already passed.
Honestly, I'm surprised; it's the first time I've come across non-cracked software on a site like ZG.
As a sales strategy, I've seen more effective ones.
