Your key to hyper-realism within Studio is here. Reality connects Studio to the amazing?LuxRender, giving you access to physically-based materials like volumetric glass, water, metal, fog and much more.
Reality is a plug-in that converts your DAZ Studio scene to LuxRender, the physically-based, un-biased renderer for Mac OS and Windows. With a click of the mouse you can render your scene with Lux, use advanced features like stop and resume, and network rendering. Plus Reality allows you to fine-tune and save your realistic materials, all inside the Reality User Interface.
