Note that the nvidia_iray DrawStyle uses a lot of memory, so setting multiple viewports to the NVIDIA Iray DrawStyle can significantly slow down Daz Studio and possibly lead to a crash due to a lack of available system resources. Some quick tips: -Render using only HDRI -Use texture optimizer to reduce texture sizes (most Daz textures are 4K, for your card you’ll probably want to reduce them to 1k) -Change render subdivision levels. When clicking between different viewports, the settings displayed in this pane will change to correspond with the DrawStyle applied to the selected viewport. Note that it is possible to have multiple viewports displayed at the same time and that each can have a different DrawStyle applied. The Render Settings pane also now provides access to Light Path Expression (LPE), when NVIDIA Iray is set as the active engine. The Editor and Advanced pages offer the option to choose which render engine to use the active renderer. This pane provides an option to change the drawstyle for the active viewport (whichever one is currently highlighted). The Render Settings pane now includes an NVIDIA Iray render engine option 1).

Many of the settings found in this pane were previously located in the Tool Settings pane but have since been extracted into their own pane to better support a growing number of options for some of the more complex DrawStyles, such as NVIDIA Iray. Fully interactive 3D rendering is now a reality with the beta release of Daz Studio 4.12. The purpose of the Draw Settings Pane (Tab) is to provide access to the various settings that control how a DrawStyle is displayed in the Viewport.
