Optimizing DAZ Studio: Memory, Rendering, Scenes and Workflow

If you have worked with DAZ Studio for any length of time, I'm sure you've experienced the frustration of taking a long time to set up a large scene and then found you can barely move around in it because the viewport is so slow to respond.

Perhaps you set up the scene the way you want but then it takes hours to render, only to find that you character is floating, or that a chair is clipped through the floor and you have to render it again!

Maybe you don't have the newest or fastest of machines and you wonder if some of the newer, larger scenes will even work on your computer without more memory or an upgraded graphics card. If you are trying to do animation, sequential art or a comic, taking hours for each frame means that it could be days or eventually weeks just to finish the rendering of your project!

This tutorial by long standing DAZ Studio artist Tiffanie Gray aims to provide you with a working knowledge of how to improve or even solve your rendering and scene navigation issues and optimize your workflow.
