I agree for Daz G8F Characters Iray is the best and most efficient.Iray seems better for hair. With a proper skin shader, Cycles really can push realism to the max, but the way G8F characters work, that means manually changing the materials for dozens of separate textures, a real hassle! But I'll still use blender for some renders, especially ones that need fire, smoke, and other computing intensive effects. I also want to know is what HDRI that is, it's fantastic!
But i like to tinker with software even if i know that it will be a waste of time..
That is "Rolling Hills" one of the excellent HDRI available at Poly Haven:https://polyhaven.com/a/rolling_hills
