The only way to not have an SDK change and not require a recompile is to not advance and improve the software.
Incorrect. There’s many software companies, such as Adobe, which has advances in software but you can still drop in filters and plugins from previous versions so people don’t lose their investments and time waiting for new versions of plugins… and hope the developer does update their plugins.
The software really needs to be written so that plugins, especially when they are calling the same methods that have not been depreciated, still run without needing recompilation. Things such as this speed adoption of software and allow for people to quickly upgrade; constantly recompiling and changing formats slows it down. The nature of your software is modular; as a software developer, there’s really no excuse for the constant changing and recompiling that DS does. Those plug in modules really need to snap in place and run, if those calls are still available to it.
Like Richard said, it’s only semi true. I’ve had several Photoshop plug ins and filters stop working in newer versions over the years. In fact CS6 won’t run one of my favorite sets of filters. I have to keep a previous version installed to be able to use them.
New versions of Poser, ZBrush, Vue and many many others have plug ins, filters and scripts that need to be updated to work in newer versions. It’s nothing unique to DAZ Studio.
Awesome! And for the record, most plugins (such as reality) already have updates. They just weren’t going to be released until 4.5 was an official stable release. It’s just being thorough.
Where did you find the update for Reality. I cannot find it on his website?

Hello.
I just wanted to confirm that I’m building new versions of Reality, version 2.5, that are compatible with Studio 4.5. In fact they are already been built, I’m testing them and then sending them to the testers for a wider verification.
If everything checks out I should have the update, which is free, available on Monday. I will send a mailer to let people know about the update.
After installing the new release of Daz Studio Pro I checked the plugins and dzautoriggercontrol is listed red… I checked my dlls and it wasn’t updated since 10/20/2011….. not sure if this one is needed or will be updated later… or is this a problem with my own upgrade installation??

If you had the Dynamic Clothing Control (the paid add-on), you need to reset that and install it. The installer won’t reinstall the basic Dynamic Clothing plugin if the paid one is there, even if the paid one is an older version.

I’m psyched for Monday. Now I just need to figure out what I want to render first. :D
well that’s great news. I just installed 4.5 and really wanted my Reality back at work. Happy to hear it is on its way. HOpefully the testing goes well.
I need Gen X. AAAAGHHHHHHH!!!!!! Where is it? Without Gen X no use of DAZ for me. I don’t use Genesis as it, I only use the iconic shapes of Genesis (third and fourth generation). I don’t see any Gen X for DAZ 4.5 :( I guess I have to wait…..

Even without the update of GenX for 4.5 you should still be able to use everything you have already converted.
