You must have an old repack. Just update to at least R9 and it's included. You are of course not updating only to get this bra but also any card you download are much more likely to work correctly and no mods missing etc.

hello, I have a question. After I updated into new betterrepack, my studio lags when on screen are more than 2 characters. Does anyone has same problem? I need some tips on how to optimize it.
I would be very grateful for an answer, I wrote on discord but I did not receive help.

Hi, welcome back.
How is the scene composition?
Is it just, say 3 charas and no other items or map present?

Yea. It's just a random default map, without other items. When I put 3 characters and I see them on one screen It starts lagging.

Are you running GraphicMod?
What is your PC spec?

Hi

Sometimes I undergo the same issue, I use to make scenes, VNGE and so, I can tell, Graphic Mode is a RAM GPU eater. Sometimes I use to Disable the main light of the map, as I show in this picture, it helps a lot.

Have in mind that some plugins can affect the performance of the game, when I upgrade from fresh, zero, the game runs smooth, but when I add some plugins and mods, it seems to be slow at some points.
I got a Potato PC and a 4G Graphic card and works fine to me but yes, I remember when I ran Studio in BR8 it used to be more fluid

I'm using DHH mostly.
I have also 4Gb graphic card but It worked better in previous BR.

Have you tried turning on the FPS counter?
There is an option to show what plugin that currently slowing you down and others stuff for monitoring purpose.

Also do you using a preset for DHH?

No, I don't even know how to turn it on. I need download something?

No, settings are default

Is this thread the place to discuss tricks for making HS2 look good (in studio particularly)? I have some things I've found work well when it comes to shaders/material editor, for example, and would love to see tips by other people for what they have found to work well.

For example Hanmen's Bluenoise Hair can look really well (photorealistic) when tuned right, but I rarely see people use it, probably because the default settings don't look good on most hair types.

No, its included in the repack already.
You can turn it on in F1 menu, search for FPS.

I'd say yes and this thread is Studio focused.

Guess what?
The chara Im using as my display picture is using that shader.
That shader is nice, but not all hairstyle can looks good with the color shader projects.

pretty sure you can also turn off shadows as well for the same effect, since I think those are the things that actually cause lag not the light itself ethanoll123
or you could lower the shadow draw distance too, with a more gradual effect, though it may look like shite

Nice. Yeah, I've personally gotten best results for Bluenoise Hair using jppl's (sp?) hairs. I set Anisotropy to 1, AnisotropyContrast to around 0.9. And I set the EccentricMean to -3 or something weird like that, while tuning the shininess with Smoothness. The result, for many jppl hairstyles, is very realistic.

Since I often make animations, it's also important that the hair has good bones that can move and bounce naturally.

I never changed those parameter in the Material Editor except the smoothness and metallic, but I will try it.

it's also important that the hair has good bones that can move and bounce naturally.

Agreed. I will take my time to make sure the dynamic bone in the hair and others move as natural as possible.
That forced me to never make long haired chara though.
Animating a chara with very long hair is pain in the butt since they dont really have bones.

Yes, this thread is heavily for tips and tricks of using the Studio. I don't know how far back you read the posts, but a lot of early ones are gems. As well as a lot of the later ones and everything in between.

I use Hanmen's Bluenoise. The same goes for deepdive eyes. They are way superior to all other eyes but they look strange until you adjust them properly and the pupil is adjusted the opposite to normal. You need to increase the number to make them smaller.
Adjusting detailnormalmapscale makes the skin bumps more noticeable up close and makes the character appear more sharp at a distance. You need to adjust it differently depending on wich shader you are using. With the standard skin shader only make small adjustments otherwise the skin will look like sandpaper, with hanmen make large adjustments lets say 4-6. The same goes for both the body and head. Using hanmen, skin color reacts very differently so if you use this you need to keep this in mind and test what looks the best. Hanmen in general requires much higher settings but there are exceptions like the lip gloss.
Just like the color, the gloss reacts very different when using hanmen. Always test all "switches" and "nobs" and see what happens. I have somewhat recently discovered a setting in material editor for the nipples named "nipple sub color" or something very similar. This is a very useful and powerful "slider" and if you are using hanmen it's absolutely essential. Besides using the color selector also test adjusting the alpha channel above 1 by typing in the numbers. There are much more but the post is already getting long.
