I have DS6 opening up with the Viewport Filament initially and one time in the Aux Viewport I turned it from Texture Shader to Iray to see if I had the character properly on the stage and that the lighting was okay. I then reverted it back to Texture Shader. 

Right now after a reboot and with the screen empty, the memory pressure for WindowServer is shifting from 970MB to 1.08GB as I type this message. DazStudio is at 933.9 MB.

Depends on how much you scrolled and in your case which screen the Viewport were at. Then Filament Viewport might leak less ( I need to test that)

Has DAZ programmers made an update behind the scenes to DS6 to improve performance without a new version being released? I am on 6.25.2025.30407. I know this is a stupid question but I had to ask considering the problem with memory pressure on MacOS. Or did the MacOS update fix our issue?

On my MacMini Tahoe 26.1, I had to use DS6 to test Mikey 9 and loaded him, some Iray clothing (converted to Filament), FilaToon hair and accessory and a FilaToon set and some lights/cameras and moved stuff around until I was happy and didn't see any lag. Started the render and realized that my Memory Pressure was at 18.40 GB and the CPU was at 97 to 98 %. The render completed in 8m 49s. My memory pressure is back to 15.21 GB now.

I couldn't reproduce the issue on my side with CJ Luna + GP + RDGL Nipples ~~

GP's geoshells have no effect on G9's Body around that pubic area .... So, what drawstyle are you using... Iray or Filament ? And what Tool is activated ? Alt Shift + U to check it again ~

Feature Request for DAZ Studio 6 Alpha:

Please implement **Normal Transfer** and **Custom Normal Input** support in the new MaterialX-based shader system.

Right now, DAZ Studio’s Iray shaders always use geometry normals internally, which makes toon/NPR shading difficult and causes unwanted wrinkle shading on smooth faces.  

If DAZ Studio 6 allows overriding geometry normals or baking transferred normals directly (like Blender’s Data Transfer or Unreal’s tangent-space workflow), it will finally solve long-standing issues with toon shading and morph deformation artifacts.

This feature fits perfectly with DAZ 6’s MaterialX and Filament 2.0 roadmap.

Thanks for your work on DAZ Studio 6 Alpha — this improvement would make a huge difference for both NPR and realistic workflows.

so I'm using @Sickleyield 's Mysterious Magic VDB effects, and everything I load shows up as an opaque cube (Grey in Filament or other view, black in iRay), rather than the effect desired.  I have uninstalled/reinstalled the product to no avail.  I don't remember how I solved this before.

@Imago grazie per il chiarimento e scusami, io non uso Photoshop per cui perdona la mia ignoranza. E' vero che non ci vuole un PC tanto potente, ma per fare un rendering realistico come piace a me mi ci vuole minimo un'ora. Non uso 3Delight perché non mi piace e Filament lo uso per il preview, ma per un rendering finale uso Iray photoreal (il mio sogno sarebbe poter usare Arnold!).

Secondo me copiare un movimento e copiare un immagine sono due cose completamente diverse, ora non so come funziona l'AI quindi preferisco non dire niente così evito di dire castronerie. Comunque se non modifica il mio personaggio e il movimento risulta fluido e naturale per me va bene.

eman said:

Appunto, Photoshop usa filtri AI... non è in fondo la stessa cosa?

Quelli sono STRUMENTI per agevolare il tuo workflow. Anche io uso un software per creare la base seamless delle textures o creare degli effetti speciali su di esse. Ma non fa nulla da solo nè prende materiale da terzi, fa tutto con i materiali che io ho creato ed io regolo ogni singolo dettaglio per ottenere esattamente quello che mi serve. Poi ci dipingo sopra le ultime cose perchè sia perfetto ed unico con il mio stile.

Gli LLM generativi esaminano un prompt e grattano dai loro modelli pezzetti di immagini (fatte da altri) per darti qualcosa di molto lontano da quello che ti serve. E tu non hai fatto nulla nel mentre se non pigiare un tasto. Quello che esce non ha nulla di tuo o di unico, ti basta guardare DA che ormai è inondata di AI e vedrai immagini tutte uguali con variazioni dettate unicamente dagli errori dei modelli. Sono tutti dritti come pali con sorrisi storti e occhi impastati.

E anche quando animi un tuo still... Di tuo c'è solo la prima immagine, tutto il resto è fatto da altri. Magari vuoi che il tuo personaggio faccia un salto all'indietro e atterri su una piattaforma di pietra alla sue spalle. La AI lo fa chinare e sprofondare nel terreno mentre diventa tutto marrone. Ritenti ma al tuo personaggio crescono altre due braccia che si staccano dal corpo e volano indietro.
Con qualsiasi software ci metti meno di cinque minuti a realizzare una scena del genere ed ottieni esattamente quello che desideri. Ed è completamente tuo, con il tuo stile e il tuo ingegno.

E poi, per favore, non ditemi che ci vuole un PC potente... Io realizzo animazioni colossali con un hardware di fascia medio-bassa. Con 3Delight e Filament non c'è nemmeno bisogno di una GPU high-end. Perfino IRay con le giuste impostazioni non ha bisogno di GPU eccessive (tanto non è realistico in ogni caso).

I made a post earlier but we didn't reach any solution so I try another go with more information. 
Out of the blue a few weeks ago Daz "crashes" for me. Its not a blue screen crash because things in the background are still going. E.g if I'm listenting to a Youtube podcast I can still hear it going on and light is still being emitted from the PC and my peripherals. It just turns off the monitors. Only way to fix it is by doing a hard-reset on the PC. I've seen some similar threads were people say its a VRAM issue. Yet why would this happen to me out of the blue? Sure I only got 10gb of VRAM but that has always been enough and these aren't resource intensive scenes we are talking about. I've even done close-up 6 charachter renders before and it have worked fine. It can even occur during me playing around in Filament. I've been using Daz3D for a couple of years now, so I don't really get why this issue have popped up. I can't really troubleshoot the issue cause the screen turns black so I can't tell if Daz is giving me an error message or not. This issue is Daz exclusive. Meaning it doesn't happen to me when I render in Blender. I'm thinking its software based yet the only thing that's new is me downloading assets and updating Daz3D. But it happening out of the blue makes me think it must be something related to that but I don't know and I don't want to give up on my main 3D software. I read some other post about people saying that XTransfer plugins or OOT hair assets causes crashes, I have both of them.
Specs:
AMD Ryzen 5600X 6-Core Processor, 4200mhz
Corsair 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 3600MHz CL18 Vengeance
ASUS GeForce RTX 3080 10GB TUF GAMING OC
PSU produce 900W, maybe a bit low for this spec but it has never been an issue in the past.
What I have done: 
Updated to the latest version of Daz3D
Did a fresh install of the latest Nvidia driver with DDU
Benchmarked and troubleshoot both CPU & RAM (which are stable at 50c)
Cleaned the PC
Checked temps during load and they are about 70-80 at their most intense

Beginner Challenge - Materials!

From shiny polished gems to rough bark, and from silk to leather! This month's focus will be on Materials and Surfaces. One of the most important aspects of a great render is the effective use of materials. Effective surface settings can add realism, style, and visual interest to an image. This month we will be concentrating on how to create and manipulate the surfaces on the objects in your scene.

Also, keep in mind all the various items covered over the past several months. They will affect the way your materials look in your final rendered scene.

Thank you for the reply. :)

Try using 'Filament' to render animations. Filament focuses on 'light' and shadows. We can achieve a rendering quality close to that of Iray using it (Filament and directional light) - you can enhance your scene using up to 6 spotlights (maximum for producing shadows) + directional light with general shadow. You can also work on the surface materials to control glossiness (specular), ambient occlusion (SAO), etc. For indoor environments, it works perfectly. (use the bloon effect to give to your renders/scenes a 'Iray Effect' *)

Good suggestion, thanks.  BTW, the first link in your original message gives a 404 Error, Not Found.  The second link shows some cool images.

Io ho provato a caricare qualche immagine creata con Daz su svariate AI, perchè me le facessero muovere.

I risultati migliori li ho avuti con Grok, che ha aggiunto movimento realistico, con particolari impossibili da realizzare a casa propria:

Esempi:

-far respirare un personaggio

-far muovere dal vento capelli e vestiti.

-animare il mare

-far camminare un personaggio in un prato, con l'erba che si sposta al suo passaggio

-far camminare un personaggio con i vestiti che si adattano al suo movimento

-ottenere espressioni più realistiche 

-creare automaticamente le ombre

Tutto in un minuto. Altrochè renderizzare ogni singolo fotogramma con Iray.

Il grosso preblema è la "consistenza" dei personaggi, dato che tutto ciò che nell'immagine non si vede, l'AI se lo inventa ^_^;

Altro problema: far fare al personaggio ESATTAMENTE quello che si vuole. Sono attori molto indisciplinati.

Daz dovrebbe introdurre una AI specifica, per tramutare i propri personaggi in veri e propri attori.

Tutte cose che puoi già fare con DAZ Studio...  Dove hai visto che è impossibile animare il mare, far respirare i personaggi, adattare i vestiti al movimento e al vento o creare le ombre?

Se non ti piacciono i tempi di render regola le impostazioni, a forza di pestare sono riuscito a costringere IRay a renderizzare un fotogramma in condizioni di semioscurità (la peggiore per quello scassone) in meno di venti secondi. Con ombre, luci e personaggi completi. Diversamente puoi usare Filament o 3Delight.

Concordo al 100%

I don't see anything in the viewport... only filament and iray are working.

I know it's still alpha and I know my PC is not good(AMD - Ryzen/Radeon), but Blender 5 alpha works like a charm! So I guess the problem is not my PC.

Heads-up for any AMD users, having the ROCm OpenCL runtime (rocm-opencl-runtime on Arch and similar, not sure about other distros) installed seems to cause Daz to hang at startup. Drove me nuts trying to figure out what the cause was until I tried starting from the terminal and keeping an eye on the output. If you want dForce on an AMD GPU, the mesa openCL runtime (opencl-mesa) seems to work. Obviously this is just for dForce - you're not gonna get Iray running on an AMD GPU no matter what CUDA alternative you're running.

Additionally, wine (or at least, wine-staging) versions beyond 10.14 seem to cause severe flickering issues in the viewport while in Filament mode - not great if you're generally working with Filatoon. If you're encountering the same issue I'd suggest downgrading to wine-staging 10.14 and seeing if that helps.

Has anyone tried winboat.app to get Daz to work in Linux?

From what I can see there's no GPU passthrough, so it's probably not gonna be a great experience.

odd because I used my Vega graphics the time Nvidia broke the driver for DAZ Studio by switching to AMD

for Dforce that is, obviously not rendering except I did with Filament

there is of course the option of using Blender instead

Hello there!
Out of the blue a few weeks ago Daz "crashes" for me. Its not a blue screen crash because things in the background are still going. E.g if I'm listenting to a Youtube podcast I can still hear it going on and light is still being emitted from the PC and my peripherals. It just turns off the monitors. Only way to fix it is by doing a hard-reset on the PC. I've seen some similar threads were people say its a VRAM issue. Yet why would this happen to me out of the blue? Sure I only got 10gb but that has always been enough and these aren't resource intensive scenes we are talking about. I've even done close-up 6 charachter renders before and it have worked fine. It can even occur during me playing around in Filament. I've been using Daz3D for a couple of years now, so I don't really get why this issue have popped up. 
What I have done;

• Updated my GPU and monitor drivers
• Updated Daz3D to 4.24.0.3
• Cleaned out my PC

I just downloaded 2025 and immediately, I don't see anything in viewport in "texture shaded" mode. I cannot find a setting to make it visible in viewport - am I missing something?

I'm not sure what you mean. Could you post a screen shot so we have an idea please. 

Also system details. Are other Drawstyles working?

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X 8-Core Processor              (3.80 GHz)

GPU AMD Radeon RX 6650 XT 

Windows 11 Home

Nvidia Iray works, Filament is not showing some hair on models
