Thanks for the in depth info. A big concern I have is its interaction with render queue. If the morphs only get disabled until daz restarts it could be a problem since render queue closes and reopens daz after each render. Unless the turbo loader preset is automatically applied before a scene loads it appears that I'll either have to manually render each image instead of queueing them up, or alternatively not use turbo loader. Neither of those situations is ideal.
Not sure if this was clear from my text, but the Morph's you disable are still disabled when Daz restarts. Since the file-extensions are changed, Daz can't find them anymore until you re-enable them again. It's just once you have loaded a figure in Daz, disabling Morphs won't have an effect until you restart Daz.

The manual states: "Turbo Loader Scene Configuration will save a configuration containing all the non-zero morphs and properties in the current scene for supported figures. Use this configuration to quickly enable all the needed morphs before loading the scene again using the Turbo Loader Configurations script."

And later: "Before loading this scene again, use the Turbo Loader Configurations script to re-enable the morphs needed."

So you can create a Turbo Loader preset from a scene, but it won't automatically be loaded when the scene is loaded. I have no experience with Render Queue so I have no idea whether you can make it do something before and render, nor do I know if you can use a script or something to load a preset with Turbo Loader.

What you could do is create a preset for all the characters and morphs you use and keep updating this preset for all your renders. Then use another preset with all or at least more morphs if you are designing new characters. Another solution would be to group renders that use the same morphs, create a preset for those and load that one before rendering with Render Queue. Or better yet, create scene Turbo Loader presets for each scene you want to render and load them all before you start your queue. The scene presets by default only Enable morphs so they would stack.

If Render Queue allows you to run something before it starts Daz, you also might be able to write a tool that renames the file-extensions just like Turbo Loader does. When you use the Scene Configuration tool from Turbo Loader you can save it and it's basically just a JSON file with the filenames it needs to enable. Using Turbo Loader you can also save out a file that contains all your morph's and you could use that to disable all morphs in that list first and then enable the morphs in the scene list.

I have no experience with Render Queue however, so I don't now what you can and cannot do with it. But perhaps you can ask on the Daz3D forums either in the Turbo Loader or Render Queue thread. If it is possible, then there must be people out there that combine them.

It's been more than a year since the last update, anyone who still thinks this is in development is in severe denial. We'll all be dead from nuclear war before this game gets an update lmao.

Judging by the way the world is going, you might get your wish!

Also don't worry about our resident naysayer. He pops up every once in a while to shit all over me. I'm sure he'll play steal the update when it's out though ;).

In other news, picking up a 4090 for its increased vram. Should be roughly double what I have now. Some people are reporting like 3 minute 4k renders which is insane.

Wow a new graphics card, I'm sure that'll bump up the next update from 2100 to 2085.
Aw man, a new graphics card will reduce the wait time by only 15 years?! That sucks.

Hey Timepants, you should save up for the NVIDIA TITAN V graphics card. It should reduce that time by at least 40 more years.

Sarcasm for anyone that can't see it. I was laying it on pretty thick.

Nah, don't worry about the negative comments timepants. We are all human and go through harsh times in life that get as stuck sooner or later. It still surprise me how vicious and 'funny' some people can't get when you have delays, when there are other games/threads where the devs don't even engage with their playerbase at all, no comments, no update, nada.

So far and personally, you haven't given me the feeling that you're tired and ready to abandon the game. Shit happens man. Hope if someday the game doesn't satisfy you, you're ready to make some tough decisions. And if you're planning to continue it like you said before, I wish you the best and hope all those things that are keeping you 'stuck' at the moment get solved, cheers.

I'll be waiting with bated breath for Astrid's return....

Been a long time fan of the game. And after following this for a while, I don't think the dev has any intentions of abandoning this game. I hope all of your issues with DAZ/hardware etc. get resolved.

That being said, I'll be honest. Early on, one of the things that rubbed me the wrong way was that I was part of the discord, and also followed this thread along. And I always saw timepants constantly posting on both these places. Especially on discord, making jokes, posting memes, gifs etc. No real communication. Literally everyday, multiple times a day. So in my mind I was like, you have time to be doing all this but can't get out an update? + there was a long period where he gave no info at all about what's the status, what's holding him back, nothing.
how about not policing what people do in their free time?

Making games is an artistic endeavor. Sometimes you have bad days, sometimes you have writer's block, sometimes you are stressed and need to fool around, sharing memes in the community to relax, there might be days when you write and pose 10 scenes, and there might be days when you sit on your chair and accomplish nothing in the whole day....taking the necessary breaks is also part of the development process.

All you need to care about is the frequency of updates, and the quality of the work. If when you get an update you are satisfied with the quality of what you played considering the wait, then is alright, no matter if he spent months partying and fucking femboys and somehow he put everything together last night. Everybody has the workflows that works best with them and unless Timepants hires you as a project manager you should avoid policing how much time he is allowed to post memes a day.

I use discord on both my phone and when I’m using daz. Saving files, preview rendering and opening and loading saved files and figures takes time. Should I just stare blankly at the screen while that happens?

Not many know this, but staring blankly at your screen actually makes DAZ render faster.
