How to open multiple Daz studio instances

zzll83

Hi, is there any way to open 2 or more Daz studio instances at same time? Seems Daz doesn't support rendering in background, want to open 2 instances, 1 for rendering, another to edit while rendering.

Maybe there is already discussions about this but I didn't find it. Apprecieate if anyone could help on it.

 

Thanks

It is possible by passing a special command line option when starting an instance. Basically you start it like this:
dazstudio.exe -instanceName DAZ#
These are some threads about it: https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/579561/running-multiple-instances-of-daz-studio-on-the-same-pc https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/471646/daz-studio-4-15-allow-multiply-instance

"C:/Program Files/DAZ 3D/DAZStudio4 Public Build/DAZStudio" -instanceName # -copyAppSettings PublicBuild -copySessionUI "Public Build" "E:\Documents\Daz 3D All Libraries\Default Scene.duf"

You'll end up with something similar to the above, excluding my default scene; note i use public build in the above, hence the similar.

Save it to a batch file and double click it to open.

rename a .txt file to .bat will work or use something like notepad++ to save as a .bat file.
