HI,i was thinking of buying this scene-optimizer to speed up my Iray renders,but I have an AMD graphic card and I use CPU for rendering,is this a good product for CPU rendering or am I misunderstanding the product. I am not very technical minded so any help would be appreciated.https://www.daz3d.com/scene-optimizer

From my understanding, you wouldn't get much benefit from its capabilities that fit a scene onto GPU, since you don't use GPU.
However, I'm sure you've experienced a time when viewport was slow. I.e., just moving camera, poses, etc is slow because of the amount of geometry, etc in the scene. At least I've run into that problem. Scene optimizer helps with that too.
As for whether it speeds up rendering on CPU only...hmm...not sure on that one.
I think reducing texture sizes would probably speed your rendering up a bit - you can always do a manual test, by resizing copies of soem textures and comparing the results. There is an active official thread here https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/164851/just-released-scene-optimizer-commercial#latest
Thanks Toonces and Richard Haseltine it is a hard one to understand as everyone has different setups .Thanks for the link to the thread .
Here's a good article on how to speed up the viewport too: https://www.versluis.com/2015/06/how-to-enable-hardware-acceleration-in-daz-studio/
I love it. It has really helps me a lot. . Images that would take hours can take mere minutes. I particulalry noticed it when I loaded 6 high def monsters, one character, two robots and a stonemason set, and reduced the textures of everthing amd was able to manipualate the characters and everything in texture mode in the view port. Normally couldn't have 6 HD figures in one scene let alone a stonemason set, and a charactetr.
Since there is a money back guarantee, you can always buy it, if it doesn't help you at all, return it.
The details state: " NOTE - this product is compatible with Daz Studio 4.9.3.29 and above".Will Scene Optimizer work in DAZ Studio 4.9.2.7? I would like to get it but I am hesitent to upgrade to DS 4.9.3 because that would require me to also update my NVIDIA drivers, which I don't want to do until I can get a new graphics card.
Charlie, from the thread over in the PA commercial area I believe the script that saves your current textures break in versions before 4.9.3.29 because the function called does not exist. Other than that I guess it should be ok.
Thanks. H owever, the PA has now answeered my query and stated that it will not work. Too bad it could have been very useful.
I suspect that the limittation will also limit sales of an otherwise excellent product.
I have found that it works great even for 3DL renders and does make quite a difference.
Plenty of Nvidia drivers that work with 4.9.3.166 AND are stable with non- 10XX cards. I'm using 372.90 and it's stable with my 980ti
Thanks for posting that link! I did the stuff mentioned in the article (I have an AMD A8-6410 APU with R5 graphics). The responsiveness increaased about immediately after I changed a couple of the suggested settings.
4.9.3.29? I had been using 4.9.3.166... I downloaded Daz to update and the installer still says version 4.9.3.166. Is this a mistake?
4.9.3.166 is the latest version. It is a later version than .29. The last numbers are not decimal.
Ahh, got it. Thanks fastbike.
I am having a lot of trouble with DForce. Would this help any?
Not really no. It can cut down on RAM and VRAM usage, but I can not see how it would help you sort out any dforce issues.
Thanks then.
