Looks a bit flat? So is there anything that can be done to enhance it?

There are probably lots of things that can be done to enhance it. This was my second attempt in blender

Was this with iray materials or 3dl materials on the original?
Does it make any difference?

This was theΒ 3dl materials, I have also used the Iray materials on the figures.Β I am not sure yet which is better

Thank you, I needed to see if I could import one of the most complex scenes in my runtime folder

Thank you, I wanted to follow up my first test with a really complex scene with lots of textures
π: 0 β©: 0
Thank you, I had to see how the process handles something very complex

It handles pretty well, Iβd say. But I wasnβt watching it

Can you do a comparison with the same shot rendered in Daz with Iray? I'd love to see how the differences between automatically-converted Cycles and Iray.

This scene always seemed to take forever to render in DAZ until I started using Ghost lights and then it rendered super fast.Β I still have no idea what I am doing in Blender, so the comparison might not mean much
π: 0 β©: 1
I'd still be curious. I'm also curious about the Ghost lights. I've thought about getting that package but wasn't sure how much of a difference it would make for me.
π: 0 β©: 1
I was very reluctant about ghost lights until I got "Iray Ghost Light Kit 2" on sale. Now I use them for everything.Β I had heard that they sped up renders and thought I could make something like them myself.Β I still don't understand how they speed things up, but the results were very clear that they did.Β It has allowed me to use products like "MICK (Medieval Interior Construction Kit)" that always had noise in other lights and took forever to render, to render clean and in under a minute.Β Again I'm not sure why, but I like it

Cool. I'll put it on my list!

It's so easy, just exported "The Enchanted Forest" from DAZ Studio, made a few spheres, added emissive shaders and then moved them around, rendered.Β I am loving Blender so far
