Summary

In this chapter we have seen how to adapt Studio to our needs. The customizations that can be applied to the program don't stop here. We will see more customizations as we learn more about Studio.

In this chapter you have learned the following topics:

  • Switching to a different layout
  • Removing unnecessary tabs
  • Hiding redundant sidebars
  • Saving a layout
  • Customizing keyboard shortcuts
  • Changing the background color

Controlling the tools offered by DAZ Studio is one of the crucial aspects of making art with this program. Now that we have a simpler and faster way of accessing those tools we can focus on the artistic exploration instead of having to break the creative flow. This will have a deep, positive impact in our artistic work.

In the next chapter, we will use our newly acquired knowledge and start putting together a scene in which we will pose a character from start to finish. It's time to get our hands dirty and it will be fun!
