Okay, preferences within ZBrush over in the Performance tab, what we're going to be looking at is what are these buttons and how do I set them to make my ZBrush run well? And we're going to have a discussion on what not to do, okay? So, here under Multidraw and Multirender I have these on because I have a hyperthreaded machine. That's no reason to actually turn these on, however. What you should do is actually run this test multithreading first. It will tell you of an increase, in fact, that's the first thing you should do as soon as you open up ZBrush is test the multi-threading capabilities. You'll see a huge change and it'll tell you whether to turn on this multidraw and multirender. Multidraw checks everything as far as me working with a 3D object. Multirender only affects rendered time. Now, Multiple Threads it's set to 6. Well, I don't have six actual threads in my machine, but, now if I set this really high it could run into some really nasty performance issues, and it's set Default to 6 and you leave it alone. After you rank it up you have performance issues all the way. Quick and Dirty Edit. Always keep this on. If without this on and you're manipulating a 3D object, it'll look very ugly when you move it around. It's not one of those things that you can just turn off and you'll see a huge drastic change in the way it performs. I would just keep it on. There is no performance dip because of it. Okay, the Quick Transform Threshold and Background Processing, we're not going to get into mainly because it's outside my field, and it's pretty high-tech nerdy things. So we'll just keep them out, I just leave them alone. Okay, so, a multithread IO, same thing. It's a multithreaded machine, so I keep this on. Without it turn it off. Now, here's High Priority and Normal Priority. Okay, what do these do? If you hit Alt Control Delete on the keyboard and go into Task Manager, and go over to the Processes tab, you'll see ZBrush. By double clicking memory usage, it usually floats to the top, you right click on it and go Set Priority. Here's Normal and High. Okay? Now, I do not want to change it here because what will happen is if I go into it and change it here, the next time I launch ZBrush it'll just go back to normal, so, you know, if you want, when you test your machine out, choose High Priority. See how it runs. If you don't like it go back, but it's not going to hurt your machine at all. Once you get done tweaking, because those are only the areas that I would recommend tweaking, those are the performance part of it anyway. Once you get done with that, if you go into Configure, you can Store Configuration, and hit OK. Now no matter how many times you go initialize ZBrush and hit yes, you'll find that those two areas will actually keep their preferences. There it is. Compact Memory and all my changes. All right. If you have a Tablet PC you might want to take advantage of the tablet features in here. Again, one of those things that as my work flow goes, I have a Wacom Intel III and I've never had to change a thing and I've been running for years, so, that's another thing. All right. So, that's it for Preferences. That's all I want to cover is those two boxes, well, three boxes, counting Tablet. All right.
