Open Daz Studio

Open Daz Studio

Click onto Daz Studio This should be on your desk top as a shortcut

 

Click on Daz Studio This should be on your desktop as a shortcut

All the items you installed within Daz Install Manager are kept here and this will increase as you install more Items, I will say as it grows you do need a LOT of space for everything and I recommend an external drive to store your items

 

When you open Daz Studio this will  pop up, You can leave it blank or fill it in,

I fill it in as will show in my saved items I am the one who created things

like my Tubes /Poser Content/Art Work,

You can click on do not show again and click next

 

 

This will also pop up,
If you click on the different sections it will take you to information, Daz Shop etc
You can view them or just click on Do not show again and click next
 
*****************************************
YOUR WORKSPACE
 
This is what you see and called your workspace
 Have a look around, press some buttons, move things around,
You can always go back to default settings if you mess up (I did when I started)

Here are a few tips and how I have mine

When you first open Daz Studio this is the Style/Layout you will have.

I like to move things around to work with and this is the way to do it as an example

***************************************** 

LAYOUT

 Go to Window/Workspace/Select Layout

 

Here you have 7 to choose from, Just click on which one you prefer
Then Accept

 I am going to keep the way it has opened but I am going to move a few things about,
If you do not like how you have moved things  just click on a Layout and it will go back 

to the original way

 ***************************************** 

STYLE 

 

Go to Window/Style/Select Style

 

Here you have 3 to choose from
Just click on which one you prefer
Then Accept
 
You can also change the colour if you wish

 

Go to Window/Style/Customise Style

 

I am going to change the base background as an example

 

 

This is how it looks, If you are not happy with how it is you can go back to the default way

 

Go to Window/Style/Customise Style click on Defaults, then Accept for it to work

*****************************************

VIEWPORT

This is the main area where you work 

 I do not like how the view controls are placed so I am going to change them

Go to the little arrow at the top and click on it

Change to Docked View Controls

 

As you can see they are now not at the side but up at the top, 

If you do not like this way then just go to the arrow and click on cube view controls and this will be back at the side

 *****************************************

PANE TABS

On both sides, there is what we call pane tabs,

On the left side, there are

Install, Smart Content, Content Libary, Draw Settings, Render settings, Simulation Settings

 on the right side, there are

 

Aux View, Scene, Environment, Parameters, Shaping, FaceTransfer, Posing, Surfaces, Lights, Cameras

These are the default ones

 

 

If you go to Windows/Panes(Tabs) there are quite a few more to look at,

These can be added to the sides if you want to use them or take away which ones you don't need 

I am going to move some around and remove the ones I don't want 

Go to Install Pane, right-click, then go to Close Pane

This will now be gone

You can also drag and drop them up and down or to the other side if you wish to

 

 

This is now my workspace

Every time you open Daz Studio it will show this way you have customed it

 

Lastly, Go to where it looks like a head and change to Texture Shaded.
This will show you body texture when you load a character you want to use

  *****************************************
 SAVING

 

 

Go to WIndow/Style/Save Style As

 

Name your Layout then Accept

Click OK

To find it Go to/ Window/Style/Select,

Where is says Darkside,Click onto it and select your own Layout you have made
