Help please

So I was rendering an image using Daz 4.8 and the final image has to much noise still(never happened before). So I updated to the Daz 4.9 and I still get the same effect...what am I doing wrong?
This never happened before with or without IRay, now all of a sudden is not rendering like before

For what i see already, the noise come of a render "non ended" in iray. That i see the only time where i tried.
Are you sure the settings aren't on iray from the start?

Here, those i have

Yes, IRay it's the default, I also tried it with 3D Delight and it renders extremely dark, can hardly make out the character's shape

The lights are more difficult to settings. 3 lights are "limit" for DS4.9; often i have:
- 3 distant light
- 1 linear point light
- and can have 1 spotlight

Yes, characters have a more dark skin in renders.
Even, if not enough light, you can obtain colorful squares (red and green) in hair or on clothes.

It's my first try using the newer version of Daz (4.9) so I'm not sure if it's different than 4.8 or what but will keep playing and see what happens...Will be back later. Thanks Aelin for trying to help me out

You're welcome! I'm sure you will find quickly an equilibrium for your lights

Ugh.... this is frustrating, it's still rendering and so far it's been 42 minutes

Have you already result by "normal renders" (horizontal render) or by picture with noise/points?

[Twisted.Illusions]

hmm... nope, no idea how

Sometimes on hair you can have more longer renders. But it's specially if you use the uber environment.
