Compatibility with commercial IRay render farms

tring01

There are a plethora of firms selling server time to do renders at very cheap prices.  IMHO render time is THE issue holding Daz back in the pro marketplace.  It's just not commercially viable to do renders in Daz.  You can build great characters, there is a huge library of assets for sale, and all that - but up to two hours per frame render time is cost prohibitive for animation.

Every other software package using IRay is offering a pipe to commercial render farms.  Why not Daz?

Well, if you look at the render settings tab, you'll see that the cloud stuff is set up already.The actual server hasn't been released yet
