I just purchased The Harpwood Trail for Daz Studio and find it to be really good but have one big problem what is the best way to load this product without Studio grinding to a halt..  Just not sure what to do as I got it for a project I am working I have plans to use for it, just that I can't navigate around Studio because it is so slow and yet it is am not using much in the way of resources..

Any help would be greatly appreciated thank you.. :)

    BTW, note this on the product page:

    • For Iray renders you must have “Instancing Optimization” set to “Memory” or you risk overloading your system's memory capacity. This setting is built into the Render Settings Preset included in the set but can be found in the Render Settings Tab.

    I tried to render it in Iray but after 50 minutes still nothing had happened. Then I changed the setting mentioned above, and it started rendering after a minute. I'll recommend using the preset in the Render Settings folder as it also gives a great lighting and skydome setup. No problems even with only 8 GB system RAM.

    Cool thank you for the info you save my sanity, thought bought this cool product and can't use it.. Never knew of that option in Studio can now move around the scene without having to wait forever for it to update.. lol

    Only using it in 3DL so not needing it for super renders.. :)

    Thank you for the Instancing tip, I was stuck until I read that.
