OTOH, the way to avoid having lag in Poser because of DSON is to use it as little as possible. I have found it easier to export the figures out as a Poser .cr2 and not have to worry about DSON. I do the same with poses. Oh, and make sure you have the 1.1.3.50 version of the DSON Importer. The 1.2 branch causes divots in the ankle & neck of the golum.

Oh, and one more thing.....

If you expect to actually find anything, you will have to spend some quality time unscrewing the mess that vendors make with their products. Here is a typical example of what I am talking about:

I have the Grantham Hall Suit for G2M. (It's a pretty good suit, btw). It has some additional texture sets made for it by both it's creator (Sarsa) and Moyra (who makes texture sets for a lot of DS products).

In a world that had a competent QA staff at DAZ, they would ensure that texture pack addons would reside underneath the Grantham Hall Suit subfolder in the clothing folder. Alas, we don't live in that world, so the QA staff at DAZ allows Moyra to place her addons in the same level as the base product. And to add the cherry on top, there is absolutely nothing that gives the end user a clue that BonVivant and TropicalWeight go with the Grantham Hall Suit. (We'll leave the fact that DAZ in 2016 still allows vendors torunallthefilenamestogether for another time (and rant).

That is for clothing. For a nightmare version of the above, see Mad Nurse for golum 1 & golum 2.

Another thing to remember is that in Poser, the golum will have every morph it can "see" stuffed into it. Which means if you don't want a heavy (ram-wise) figure, it would be smart to make separate runtimes for them. This means that the figures are about 80Mb in size (useful in multi-figure scenes) In my case, I break everything out as follows:

Genesis 1 Male Runtime (holds base morphs only, along with Clothing, Hair, and Poses, and any morph I want added to every single figure, in my case nails) Genesis 1 Male Characters (holds human characters) David 5 Runtime (D5 characters) Freak 5 Runtime Hiro 5 Runtime Justin 5 Runtime Michael 5 Runtime

Genesis 1 Aliens (holds alien figures)

Genesis 1 Female Runtime (as Genesis 1 Male Runtime) Genesis 1 Female Characters (holds human characters) Aiko 5 Runtime (A5 characters) Julie 5 Runtime (J5 characters) Victoria 5 Runtime (V5 characters)

Genesis 1 After Dark (all those gens morphs that vendors add to their characters, as well as the geografts) - Why do I do this? Because I don't want them in my child figures.

Genesis 2 Male Characters (holds G2M characters) Brodie 6 Darius 6 Genesis 2 Male Gianni 6 Jayden 6 Lee 6 Michael 6

Aiko 6 Belle 6 Gia 6 Giselle 6 Josie 6 Lilith 6 Mei Lin 6 Monique 6 Olympia 6 Skyler 6 Stephanie Petite 6 Victoria 6 Ysabeau 6
