Really confused as to why DAZ keeps making new features and neglecting the old ones that are bugged.
Reading over this thread it is obvious that the new features are flawed too.
Please stop it please,
Please stop adding new things and fix the old broken ones please.
.
Why the new Duff Files? They should at least be a choice for us if we want to use them or not.
I never had problems saving things with the other file types, why in the world would you remove the old file types and replace them with something flawed?
.
What I’m waiting for;
Add new (clothing) projection templets like dresses, shoes, hair etc. to the Transfer Utility
.
Option to remove the new list in the library, the one that has the “Formats” “Products” “Categories” and such, I am not using the metadata so this new list only slows me down when I need to switch between the Studio and Poser Library’s
.
Simultaneous “Docked View Controls” and the “Camera Cube” like we once could in DS3?

You can still save as *.daz using File/Save As/Deprecated/Scene (or Ctrl+Shift+S)
Those files seem to be real *.daz-files and work.
At first I was happy about the new files, cause it seemed that there was a real workflow with Carrara.
I’m still full of hope.
Since the search function isn’t, errr…. Functioning, I would still like to post this question…
Is it possible to install a DS 4.5 Standard 32/64 along with my DS 4 Pro 64? As I think it would be better to allow this setup, especially since the majority of DS users here already have DS Pro 64 installed along with all of their plugins.
No, since they are different versions of the same application (the difference is which add-ons are enabled, and in fact your Pro serial will make the RC Pro too).
Thanks for that bit of info, I figured that was the case, just needed some confirmation. BTW, Congrats on your new promo!

An unified file format is an enormous improvement, I, for one, welcome the change. Now I hope there is some reworking on the folder structure.
I’m simply amazed at all the issues people are having with this version, it makes me pause before grabbing this.
I would like to make a general statement to DAZ as a whole, when putting out new versions of the program it’s not that difficult to have it install into a new program folder to allow one to run the older stable version along side the newer version. I have both DS3A and DS4Pro (the latest prior to the RC one) install on my unit and both work perfectly side-by-side at the SAME TIME, content folders are shared in My Docs and settings are of course separate in the AppData folders same could be easily done within the same major version numbers.
A number of items were updated in March and April for this issue—if resetting the download doesn’t give a newer version, please report it on the Bug Tracker.
Is there any list of updated files around?
In fact I don’t want to reset my downloads on a regular base in hope there might be any update.
Just wondering, what use has the new Push modifier? It creates some depth on the mesh depending on how high you set the value there, but what use is intended for this one?

There seem to have been relatively few issues, as long as users allow for the fact that plugins need updating (but there weren’t many plugins updated to DS4 anyway). DS4.5 will also coexist with DS3 - what it won’t coexist with is an earlier version of DS4 - you need to remember that DS is more tightly linked to other things (such as the CMS) and has had content updates which may not be backward-compatible with the previous builds (and the CMS means you can’t have multiple content setups).

I quoted some comments on this from the old thread at one point, but I’m not sure where the post has gone. It’s useful for making a quick body suit, or a hair overlay, or anything else where you want an offset copy of the base mesh.
Beregar—how’s this for a mess? I installed 4,5 and now all of the .duf files are opening like this. I only upgraded to 4.5 because I was having issues with the Supersuit—it kept crashing Daz 4. At this point, I want my 4.0 back—this is miserable. Is it possible to reinstall DAZ 4?
I have the same mess with Victoria 5. All is fine but after saving and reloading the DUF file Victoria looks like the same like in Vos1327 picture.
Is there a way to fix that???
It can’t be that we always have to load the figure new, position it, put clothes on and and and…after saving and reloading.
no help for this???
It’s apparently fixed in a newer version if the root cause is same. I removed 4.5 but actually just reinstalled it after some kind soul pointed out here you can still save the files in older format. It actually seems to be a save format issue so if you keep saving the files in daz format instead of duf format while using 4.5 they work fine.
I not sure if this has been asked yet but, I had a quick question is there suppose to be a serial code for Mimic Live?
GOOD QUESTION!
I would also like to know about Mimic Live. Infact…I’ve been asking about it for SEVERAL MONTHS now but it’s all good.
I would really, REALLY like an answer as to where Mimic Live is, I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve downloaded Mimic. It seems like a really nice plugin… Wish I could Actually USE IT!
