Script d/l button is halfway down the page. I haven't tried it yet (in mid-render at the moment), but it looks very, very promising.
The page explains the what and the why (as well as a separate section on how to run a beta instance alongside DS.)
...and, it works on the latest/greatest version of DAZ Studio!
(now I can run scripts or render on one instance while I goof around on the other. Too happy at the moment...)
I got 64GB... but dual renders would be crazy to even attempt without SLI engaged and at least two GPU cards.
My reasons are more mundane: I use one to pound out scripts (right now the 2nd instance is grinding through a G8F -> G3F batch pose converter script with like 8,000 pose files), and the other one I can use to tinker with and run renders on.
Can also alternate renders between them if I wanted (render on one, tinker on the other, then switch.) I wouldn't run more than two instances, though, for the reason you mentioned.
Also, I don't use Iray preview, so there's no real load on the GPU unless I'm rendering on both (which could be done I guess, but only if you had really, really light scenes and at least 8GB on the GPU card.)
Not sure - Ever since the beta came out, I've been using the Beta for renders (it's actually somewhat faster), and the 4.23 instance for anything else.
Hello, I'm not sure whether I'm understanding you correctly; I read a long time ago that creating a shortcut and adding " -instanceName DAZ#" to the destination lets you create additional instances. I've used this method to have up to 3 4.23 instances running simultaneosly.
Given that a lot of people here are far more skilled and experienced than me, I assume that you were already aware of this, so I'm deducting that this script is relevant because this method does not work with the latest beta, am I right?
Best regards,
