Making Direwolf a little lighter weight?

I purchased the Direwolf add-on to Daz Dog and it looks terrific. The problem is that it is very resource heavy with a huge amount of geometry. I was hoping I could simply reduce the number of hairs and up the thickness to compensate, but I can't figure out how to do so.

Any clues? As it stands, if I use this figure, I have to delete most everything else in my scene in order to render it. The geometry alone on this one figure is well over 1 GB in size. Yikes.

    Look in the Surfaces tab for each of the GuideHairs figures. You can set hair density and root and tip widths (and so many other things I have never touched). That and Line Tesselation to a lower value (in Parameters) should get you there.

    Thank you. I was trying to edit strand-based hair and it wasn't working for me.

    Us (Edit: tsk, tsk, grammar...) We mere mortal users can't edit or make dForce strand-based hair. Regular strand-based hair without dForce is something we can play with.

    I was able to apply what you said, and was able to get a much lower load on the system, while still retaining acceptable detail for my purpose. This doesn't hold up to closeups, but that isn't how I need the direwolf in the scene anyway. Thanks again.
