We learned this the hard way. When using Daz Studio (installed on your local machine) and Boost for Daz (browser based) it helps to:

  • Not have a ton of applications open on your computer at the same time. These reduce the available RAM memory for Daz Studio to process and upload your render to Boost for Daz. Just keep it simple (minimal or only required apps open) and you'll get the best performance.

  • Have enough local disk space available. Here's why. When Daz Studio is preparing your package for rendering, it expands your .duf file with all the assets and elements it needs to properly render your project as you intended. This takes up some (temporary) disk space. So take a moment to make sure you have enough (subjective to the scene and its complexity).

Together these will give your local rig enough memory headroom to prepare your and upload to Boost for Daz for processing and rendering.
