partial bodies for crowd scene?

Drekkan

So in a scene I wanted to have a woman on a stage singing and multiple M4/G2/G3 characters below the stage just out of shot but yet you can see mostly their arms flailing about. Of course it would not really be neccesary to put entire characters if I'm only going to be using just their arms and the scene will slow down if I put in too many even if the rest of their bodies are invisible. So is there anyway I can put just partial bodyparts of any of these generations of character in a scene? in this case just their arms. Thx.

Assuming this is Daz Studio, anything you hide, by clicking the eye in the Scene pane or using the Visible button in the Parameters pane, will not be sent to the render engine. You can also remove textures, or at least reduce the number used, in the Editor tab of the Surfaces pane. For something like this you might well be able to use a limited number of figures and create instances (Create>New Node Instance/Instances) of figure and clothes to fill out the scene with minimal memory cost.
