Well, Andolaurina sounded like her Poser slows down with just one Genesis ...
that's why I gave those tips.
Your tips are certainly helpful, but overall, the loading process is slow and gets a lot slower when you add more DSON items
Did you report that to the Mantis Bugtracker?
There is a subdirectory for the DSON importer ...
https://bugs.daz3d.com
Maybe it helps.
No, I haven't filed the problem with DSON getting slower to load since I thought it came with the territory of using an Addon.
I did file however two other far more serious problems which are real bugs and should be fixed (DSON item crashing Poser and some morphs not being transferred)
Let's see if these bugs are being acknowledged before going into the performance issues
That's understandable. Curiosity killed the cat: which item crashes Poser?
Edited to add: Forget that question please - I found your bug report.
Yep, that's true. It slows down with just one.
Thanks for the tips, Kerya! I don't have multi-threaded bending on but I had not turned subD off and on. I'll give that a try.
Is it also ridiculously slow loading items? Even if I've loaded something several times before, it can take over a minute to load a DSON dress for example.
It probably is dependant on your computer specs too.
Up to now I only loaded one Genesis and the Ranger outfit and a background prop - that worked quite well.
(Windows7 64bit, DazStudio 4.5.1.6, PoserPro2012
Intel Core i7-2700K , NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448, 32 GB DDR3-1333 RAM)
I have Windows 7, 64-bit, DazStudio 4.5.16, Poser Pro 2012 SR3, Intel Core I-7, NVIDIA GEORCE GTS360M CUDA 1GB, 8 GB RAM). It's a laptop not a desktop, for whatever that matters. :)
It's not like it's not loading. It's just painfully slow as compared to regular Poser content.
Is it slow when posing?
Because I don't have a problem with that *knocks three times on wood*
Just a little bit slow on posing as compared to other Poser figures.
Much slower with morph brush tool.
Painfully slow on loading and conforming a DSON item.
Crashes if you do much with it in the setup room.
Haven't had the guts to try it in the cloth or hair room.
Slightly slower applying Poser materials.
Much slower applying DSON materials.
Cameras more sluggish, especially face cam.
No difference in using lights.
No difference in render times.
My specs on my 4-year old pc are less, but I haven't experienced that problem yet.
I'm having loads of issues using DSON in Poser 9. Genesis is pretty much unusable at this point
Genesis with Sample Jeremy texture applied, rendered in Poser 9 SR3 with the updated DSON importer, Windows 7 Machine
If I try to load the Genesis Troll figure Poser crashes, if I try to dial up the troll morph in the normal Genesis figure it just makes him taller, If I try ti dial up the troll head morph it just shrinks his head
This issue is caused by having the wrong UV Map applied. Change the UV Map and it will be ok
how do i change UV maps in Poser? It used to work just fine in the first version of DSON, since the update was released this is what i get. Every time I apply a mat to Genesis I get a Python script error and the results I showed above. It used to work just fine before the DSON update
Here is a render with the Genesis Troll mat applied
Mec3D has a tool to do that. Or you could apply first a Basic (fe)male mat to genesis to make it gen4 or a v5//m5 mat to make it V5/M5
It is in her store for free
the thing is, with the first version of DSON you used the Sample Jeremy, Sample Lana and Sample Child Mats to automatically swap to the Gen 4 UVs, Since they updated DSON that no longer works, you get a python script error and the bad texture fits like i have shown.
Also applying certain MATs causes Poser 9 to crash all together. So far the only fix I have found is to go back to the original DSON instead of the updated version
I am not sure what is going on with your version. I have the latest DSON importer installed and the Troll loads fine. Also loading default genesis, apply MC4 files for the troll and then dialing the troll in works fine as well
But I have PP2012 SR3.1, maybe that makes the difference
It's apparently trying to set the gamma value, but Poser 9 doesn't support that and as a result the script is terminating - apparently without getting to the UVs. DAZ is aware of the issue.
yeah Poser Pro 2012 does not have many of the issues that Poser 9 does.
According to the buglisting it has been fixed. So hopefully the next update will be better in this respect
I hope they fix the other content crashing poser bug as well
I just reset my downloads for DSON and reinstalled, still the same results
The bug listing did not specify a build number, so it is possible that it is not fixed in 1.0.13 but later
But here is the troll as I get it
Question: where do you install the DSON product files for Poser?
I'm talking about if I buy a RAW product, where do the files get installed. The user guide isn't specific enough.
Both the Core and the Companion files need to be installed to a Poser content library (that is, a folder you have selected in Poser, that contains a Runtime folder).
Ok. I didn't know if they were supposed to go in the DAZ Studio folders or not. I guess I'll set up a Genesis Runtime folder and try it that way then. Thank you!

I installed the Core fils in a DS directory, and since I already divide my Poser content into different runtimes based on category, I made a Genesis runtime specifically for the Poser Companion Files. Both DS directory and Poser runtime are added to Poser's library. This et seems to work perfectly so far.
I'm waiting for when Stephanie 5 is DSON compatable.
