User Guide
Installing Actions
After running the Daz installer, you should have a Scripts/RenderThrottle3Delight folder in your Content Manager:
You can use the presets here, but installing Custom Actions allows you to have easy access to RenderThrottle.
- Double-click !RenderThrottle 3Delight !Install Actions Script
- You will see new icons in the Render menu and Main ToolBar.
TIP: You can assign custom key shotcuts to the new actions using F3 to launch the manager.
Presets
With each of the quality presets, the current settings are saved, the render is launched, then the settings are restored after the render is complete.
- 0XLo
- Extra low quality (Extra fast render).
- 1Lo
- Low quality.
- 2Med
- Med quality.
- 3Hi
- Hi quality render (slowest render).
- Repeat Last
- Remember and repeat the last preset used, eg if you just rendered with Med, this will render again with Med.
- Install Actions
- Install custom actions in the Main menu and toolbar.
- Options
- Launch the Dialog for editing presets.
The Options Dialog
Launch the Options dialog using the RenderThrottle 3Delight !Options' action.
Customizing Presets
RenderThrottle3Delight allows you to customize the 4 presets using the options UI. Simply make your changes, then press Save.
Advanced: The presets are saved as json files in the Render Presets directory where the scripts are found. Feel free to share these.
Restore Defaults
Restore Defaults will remove your custom preset and revert to the original.
Apply
Apply will apply the current preset to the scene, meaning this will change the current render resolution, etc. This is useful for when you want to render a sequence of frames.
Supported Versions
Daz Studio 4.11+
Attribution
I used some of the scripting examples as a launch point:
action_custom_create active_viewport_drawstyle
Troubleshooting
Install actions does not work
RT is a plugin and as such needs to be installed for each version of DS that you are running
Where are the toolbar buttons?
If the install runs successfully and the RT actions appear in the Render menu, make sure you toolbar is not hidden:
