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 [render package](/using-boost-for-daz/rendering-with-boost-for-daz/building-the-render-package.md) and upload to Boost for Daz for processing and rendering. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.boostfordaz.com/extras/top-tips-and-tricks/ensure-optimal-computing-environment.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
