Guess Ill try that next time. Yes some of the mats were gone, but still had so many it slowed down assigning textures to things.

Thx for explaining.

i can't tell when ds removes them, but that is one of the reasons - as long as ds reports them back i don't remove them from the list (or in other words as long s they are also shown in the studio image menu). another reason might be unlinked octane materials - as long as a material isn't finally deleted (or at last images nodes within), it'll occupy entries for it's maps in the list...

Regarding the unlinked octane mats, I know about that, that isn't the case. And I guess daz has some issues. I was able to see more of the textures clear out of the menu when I restarted Daz, but I still have a few in there even though there is no reason. There aren't any unlinked mats, none of the materials I have have any orphans, and the daz scene doesn't have the original objects anymore.

I restart DS a lot anyway due to material issues at the moment so it's not a biggie. If this was 4.0 and it's long load times for a genesis figure I would be annoyed but it's not that painful in 4.5/4.6.

Try this.
Wireframe the program is terminated.
DAZ Studio is run again.
Load the scene. What will happen?

Rendered in 14sec love the wet alley look.

I haven't seen any updates for a while.

... for a very long time, indeed. work is steadily going on, to provide something notable better: http://render.otoy.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=44&t=36713
