VIEWPORT : Complete Guide for Use and Optimization of the DAZ Studio Viewport

October 10, 2021 @ 8:00 pm - 9:30 pm BST
Free – $115

The Viewport in DAZ Studio is our most used window peering into our created 3D worlds! It allows you to examine, move and work with your scene.

If we spend so much time relying on the Viewport, it makes sense that we can make the best use of it, learn all of it’s facilities and optimize it to speed up our workflow.

However, the default settings for the Viewport unfortunately leave the artist struggling, with the viewport only being refreshed (at best) a few times a second.

In this webinar, Ken Kawashima goes over exactly what you can use Viewports for, the wide variety of settings and available draw styles as well as optimizing for a better creative experience.
