    Hi rega, welcome to the DAZ forums. OK, I'm not sure I'm understanding you correctly. You want to use DAZ Studio "without a graphics card". Are you saying your computer doesn't have one at all? I can't imagine you would be able to see anything on your computer monitor without one, or are you saying you can't afford to buy a top of the line high definition graphics card?

    If I'm not mistaken, you would probably need a graphics card with an OpenGL version of at least 2.0, but I'm not positive about that. If you can check the OpenGL version of your graphics card and it's at least version 2.0, you probably could work with DS. I'm sure if I'm wrong, someone will pop in here and set us both straight. ;-)

    Do you mean that you only have a graphics chip, like Intel for example?

    If so, DS4P probably will not run unless the chip supports OpenGL 1.5 I think it is, but that is bare minimum.

    If your chip does not support at least OpenGL 1.5, then there is no solution that I know of, even then, it would be touch and go.

    DS has a habit of not playing nice with integrated graphics. You will need some form of graphic card. You can get nice card for cheap these days.

    I use DS on a laptop with integrated graphics, not a separate graphics card. It works quite well. Memory is usually more of an issue. You do need OpenGL support, though.

    The software is free-- download it and try it! :)
