Hi,

Sorry, but I have a big problem with DAZ studio.

One standard character (ex.Genesis 3 ) open to slow. Example 3-6-8 min.

(The render, not Lray is approx. 2-3 hours)

Nothing backround, nothing cloth, nothing hair, etc. Only character.

My computer is:

New Apple Macpro (above)

2.7GHz 12-core with 30MB of L3 cache

64GB (4x16GB) of 1866MHz DDR3 ECC

1TB PCIe-based flash storage

 

2 TB Buffalo HDD (Firewire, external)

Dual AMD FirePro D700 GPUs with 6GB of GDDR5 VRAM each

Thunderbolt display

Software:

DAZ Studio 4.9

The Folders:

 Runtime: 838 GB

data:  138 GB

general: 5,8GB

presets: 4,5GB

Enviroments: 3,8GB

Tutorials: 1GB

Summa approx: 1TB

Unfortunately i don't know, that to which character

we owes (data,obj,texture, etc...)

I do not dare to transfer the libraries because of this.

Somebody would can help me, what I shall make how?

Many thx,

Best Regards

Joseph

Do you load the assets from the Firewire HDD ? Firewire is not slow by any means but compared to a normal built in HDD it's not very fast still should not take minutes to load it, but if you have temp files and other things on Firewire also it could cause problems.

Is it only G3 that is slow, if you load a G2 character, is that slow also ?

Do you mean that it takes 2-3 hours when click the render button using 3DL to render a single G3 character ? if that is correct then there is something very very wrong with the computer.

The usual questions.

1 - Was it faster before or it been like this all the time ?

2 - Kind of same question, have you just installed everything or was it faster with older version of DS ?

Have no idea how you do it on a Mac but there must be some tool (like the task manager on Windows) to show the CPU load when you render, check if it use 100% or just a little, check the settings in the renderer so you don't have some crazy sampling or something that makes it take long time.

When you load the G3 check where the bottle neck is, must be some tool to do that on a Mac also, is it just sitting there when you load G3 or is the CPU or HDD up through the roof.
