New Tool Unlocked: Auto Queue (Patreon)

I took off for most of Christmas but the studio computer worked all day and all night: thanks to my new favorite DAZ Studio plugin: ManFriday's Render Queue. So here's my new workflow. First, I set the stage. I get the figure posed. I set up the lighting. I set up the camera and camera angle. Then I run a very quick render that takes a couple minutes. If everything looks good, I change the render settings to do a full render and save the session. 

    I then used this plugin to render 25 sessions in a row. The program will load up a session, do a full render of it, save the render, close DAZ, open DAZ, and open the next session in the queue. There's not a lot I can do when DAZ is rendering. I can do a bit of work in Blender but that's all. I can barely stream YouTube. Playing Elden Ring while the renders are going is out of the question. Now, I can do all of my rendering in my sleep, or while at the day job.

    Here are the next renders for Scene 1 of Succession, which we are getting to the end of in favor of NSFW content. You can tell I had a lot of fun playing with different focal lengths.
