Rendering to a new window will cause a slight performance hit, and while it can be useful in proofing a render as it happens, for the most part it’s better to go direct to file. We’ll take a closer look at those settings at a later date.

Direct to file will render directly to a file on your system, while new window will bring up a window while rendering that will let you change certain settings on the fly.

The Render Target is only available in still image mode, and has two options: Direct To File, and New Window. Render Type lets you choose between Still Image, Image Series, and Movie. The aspect ratio will recalculate according to the pixel size you set, and if Constrain Proportions is on, then the Width or Height pixel number will change to fit the aspect ratio. You can choose your Dimension Preset, or set your Pixel Size or Aspect Ratio yourself. You can get the Face Motion Plugin at this link: ~ I will update the link once the plugin becomes available through the marketplace.The General tab is mostly self explanatory. Learn more about the Filament Render Engine at this link: This render engine and plugin are great for those who are jumping into 3D and Facial animation, and indie filmmakers who want to create their own short films using the expansive character library offered by Daz3D. The animation was created using the facial animation smoothing feature of FaceMotion, an awesome plugin for applying Facial performance capture from an iPhone X and the Facecap app, to Daz Studio. This clip was inspired by the line by Windlifter in the Disney animated film, Planes 2: Fire & Rescue ~ This is another test to show the quality that can be achieved with the Filament Render engine in Daz Studio.
