Render animation in DAZ Studio 4.9

How do you render an animation in DAZ Studio 4.9? I've viewed tutorials from earlier versions that show a different dialog box when opening Render Settings. When I open Render settings in DS 4.9 I don't see any options for video rendering. What am I missing?

Thanks in advance,

Eric

    @Dazaddit  No one can help.  The iRay engine now used, which I came here for specifically, is not as bruteforce as the Maxwell Renderer, but might as well be for the average Joe without a render farm.  What Daz 3D should now sell is render farm time.  They'd make a killing.  Servers are cheap for corporations, they get tax writeoffs and stuff for equip like that, so the cost to them is effectively zero.

     

    I have a specific question about rendering in Daz:  I took a genesis 2 female as a test to iClone for lipsyncing through 3DXchange and noticed she doesn't have the facial bones necessary to be lip sync'd, am I missing something?  I ass_u_me it's because the genesis 2's doesn't have that ability.  What models do?  I did effectively export and import back to Daz the motionplus data, so it's like mofo!?  Again some female just won't listen.  I can't even figure out how to search for it, yet.  Forums should have an index.  To me, it's a library of books rippled apart and thrown randomly onto a floor all together in a jumbled mess.

     

    Hmmm, it looks like I missed an export rule and adding a .duf facial key thingie too.  I'm still looking for a morphable face to make the actor look more like the subject I want to use...

    I found rendering animation in 3delight is way faster than in Iray. its takes a little practice but with a little patience and tweaking 3delight can products some pretty decent results.

    It took me 3 months to render this film in 3delight using daz studio4.8 and than 4.9 for the last 4 scenes. Daz is not perfect for animation. but for a hobbyist  it fits the bill for what I am looking for to tell my stories.

    That is an incredible animation.  I'm blown away by the quality of the production as well as the story line.  I'd love to see any other work you've done.
