Feels good to be free, or superfast loading time for G8F

[Sara1985]

i finally moved all morphs for G8F from the Daz directory to a temp directory and only copy the morphs i need to the Daz directory. Every step of the process is now super fast. Before I used to have lags or long waiting times on everything. Now when I need an extra morph, I copy it into the directory, reload G8F (takes seconds) and it's in.

So I can only recommend it to everyone who had the same problems.

A script that automates the process a little would be nice. Select Morph, the script moves it, reload G8F and good. Almost like Vicky4 with Morph Injection. I almost miss that 😉

OK, that sounds encouraging.

So if I were to attempt to do the same, would you please be able to post a screen shot of the contents of the default basic G8F folder, without character additions?

I don't want to go deleting essentials in the pruning process! 😉

I hope this will help you Daz3D Manager Tool.

You can move morphs in the morph manager.

@aitha Okay, that looks interesting. I'll have to check it out.

I'm curious if someone would test something for me. Having a bajillion morphs loaded, it would take me forever to load any character, approximately 8-10 minutes with additional ones taking ever longer.

However, I noticed that my saved scenes loaded very quickly, less than two minutes. So I created a scene with the base G8 model and now just load that scene instead of G8, saving myself about 7 minutes of load time. Yes, I have to then apply body shapes and skins, but I was doing that anyway. I rarely leave characters as is upon loading. And it's still much quicker than waiting for the characters themselves to load from scratch.

So if someone has a really long load time on characters, try making a scene with just the base G8F and let me know if it loads more quickly. I've been wondering if it's a weird fluke for me or if it's something I can recommend to people to improve original load times.

Thanks!

My loading time is really long, 12 minutes. I tried loading her saved in a scene but I unfortunately didn't see any difference in the loading time.
The only difference I've ever seen is if first load a primitive. That saves 1 minute or so

So weird. I would love to know why I'm seeing such a huge boost in speed with the scene trick.

[Sara1985]

I have reduced the loading time from 6-7 minutes to a few seconds by removing the morphs. Also, instead of a maximum of 2 figures, I can now pack much more into a scene without Daz Studio taking forever to react after every small change to the scene.

the scene loading trick doesn't work for me as well.

thank you @aitha, I have to try that tool, sounds promising:)

I prefer to just make several different directories where to install stuff and then use CMS Sets feature on DAZ. This way - for example - if I don't need very aged men or women I load a CMS without the folders where those characters are installed.
same for morphs, expressions with sliders, genesis main figures etc. And same different paths for other stores stuff (RE, RO, FR and so on).
This way I can be very picky (Only Genesis Essentials + morphs, or only Essentials + Best Characters and so on) or just load everything by simply using the menu on Content Library tab.

anyway about the sara1985 method, maybe it can be quicker leaving packages on DIM folder (unchecking the Delete setting) and install/unistall when need.

I want to keep the materials and have only the morphs not loaded. That's why I just copy the morphs between MyLibrary and Temp Folder with the same folder structure. Quick and easy 🙂
