Does DDO use same "techniques" as Ps? Or DDO under the hood IS the Photoshop? If so, can we apply to DDO same advices, that we apply to Ps? Advices I talking about are "Optimize your hardware setup for Photoshop" at Adobe help page. https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/optimize-photoshop-cc-performance.html#hardware-setup
DDO is simply a layer over Photoshop that instructs PS to do things that you'd find tedious and annoying. It automates PS, basically. Optimizing PS is optimizing DDO in most cases.
Hi, Just wanted to ask what other users experiences are with Quixel/Photoshop and ram usage? Having created a few simple DDO projects now mostly using 2048x2048 texture dimensions and i've frequently found my 6Gb of Ram to be borderline insufficient. That is I often find Quixel/Photoshop will slow down as the Windows 7…
Having an SSD to use as a Photoshop scratch disk will help a lot as well. But 16 gigs should be fine for 2048x2048, you might want to get more if you are going to be frequently working with larger images.
8 GB is the absolute minimum floor for DDO to function correctly. This will allow you to create 2k and 4k textures relatively fluidly depending on the layer complexity in your project. DDO has the ability to non-destructively flatten textures, so you're able to save RAM by flattening and restarting Photoshop. 16 GB would…
For Anyone wondering the same question, My biggest DDO project: * at 4k resolution * has 23 Smart materials * 5 layers/each on average and amount of RAM used is 15.4GB. 16.5GB was max, ever. I've got 24 GB ram total now, but really I would be better with 16 GB ram total but SSD for Photoshop, like samsung ones. Because You…
I mainly do 4096x4096, 8192x8192 or higher resolutions in DDO on my assets. I upgraded my system last year to be able to throw what I could at it and not worry so I'm on the high end with 6cores and 64gb RAM with an SSD. Totally overkill but it is nice to see that photoshop can eat 20gb RAM or more and I got plenty of…
For RAM you've got a few options. 1. Buy as much RAM as you want now to fill all the slots, then chuck out the sticks later (p.s. I accept leftover RAM donations :P ) when you want to add more. 2. If it's within your means, just max out your motherboard's RAM capacity now and get it out of the way. More is always…
