Hi, a newbie question that i am getting confused about.
I load a model, dress her, pose her put in lights and am very happy so i render .....now for me to reuse everything again and just change the pose and possibly adjust the lighting how do i save this? so far i have had to start from scratch each time and i am sure there must be a way. Thanks in advance

    File -> Save as -> Scene.
    If you're rendering from Perspective view, you'll want to add a camera too. The perspective view will not be saved, a camera will.

    Good advice from BlackFeather1973

    Just to add to that a little, if you have a clothed and posed character that you want to keep for other scenes, the you can also use the File > Save As > Scene Subset. You can then load that particular character, or Merge it into another scene any time you need it. You can do that with lights and other objects as well.

    EDIT:

    Just saw your new post. As long as you save it inside a folder which has been declared as a DAZ Studio Formats folder (like My Library) then DS will see the Scene file. I save mine in a sub-folder of My Library called 'Scenes' and they also get a thumbnail too which is handy.

    Of course, it will just be the same as if you loaded the object from the library. You can also change the clothing, lights, anything you want.

    Scenes that are saved in the standard location can be found in the Content Library under Daz Studio Formats -> My Library -> Scenes.
    You can also open them manually via the menu : File -> Open.

    It's better to use Scene subset - if you use Scene the default behaviour is to load the whole scene in place of the current scene, while a Scene Subset is merged into the current scene.

    You saved file should be available in the Content Library pane, under DAZ Studio Formats>My Library>Folder you saved to as long as you did in fact save to a library folder; if not you can use File>Open (replace current scene) or File>merge (add to current scene) to load it.
