Hi,
sorry about my question, i’m a beginner:

my Studio version is   4.5.0.114
i’m dloading update, i’mgoing to install update to 4.5.1.6.

The first message of this thread says:

DAZ 3D Plugins that were available for version 4.5.0.114 were updated but will NOT need to be updated (re-downloaded) since they are compatible with this new version.

If i understand well all plug ins that came with 4.5.0.114 version are compatible with 4.5.1.6 version so no need to update them.
If i would like to update them anyway do i need to uninstall them first or i can run the installer as it works for Studio 4 main application update, the installer is going to perform uninstall by itself?
Thanks a lot!

If you install an updated plugin it will ask if you want to uninstall the older version, so you don’t have to do so as a separate action.

Thanks a lot,
so i installed Studio 4 update 4.5.1.6, windows 7 64 bit, everything fine! Just run installer, it will uninstall previous version by itself.
I’m going to update plugin, goz and bridge, just run installer as i did with studio 4 main installation.
What about GenesisStarterEssentials_1.6? I suppose it works the same, just run installer, it will uninstall previuos version by itself.
Sorry about beginner questions, it is not so easy the first time with all this files, this few suggestions, easy liket that, can help beginners as myself
really thanks!

I’m not sure which one I have, but can someone tell me if they’ve fixed the FBX import? Every time I tried it would cause the program to crash.  Also, what about the dae format? have they fixed it so you can pose rigged models in a Dae Format? I know previous versions couldn’t do that.

I’m guessing my search-fu is not up to snuff today, so I’ll pester you fine folks…

Ever since I updated to the latest version (non-beta) the content database thingie has stopped working.  I’ve tried starting it manually, but that hasn’t worked.  Is there something else I need to update, or is there a common fix that others have found that works?

The Genesis Starter Essentials will overwrite the existing files.

Thanks a lot BWSman!

I was wondering, is
Daz ever going to get the lip sync in the Tab for this newest 4.5.1.6 version?  I have Macs and cannot use Mimic because there is no Mimic Live for Macs.  I am still using version 3 because there is lip sync in it.

Try stopping the CMS, using the Start menu command if you are on Windows, then uninstall it, then reinstall DS to get the new version.

I’m really glad I found this thread.  I had stopped in to do some research about upgrading to 4.5 from 4 on my 64-bit Win7 desktop, but I’m seeing a lot of nightmares about file system incompatibility, lost old work, installation issues, etc..  I am left with the impression that upgrading the desktop with all my work on it is not yet a good idea, as 4.5 seems unstable and incompatible with deprecated file types.

I have all my content on an external drive, which works very well on either the desktop (with 4) or the laptop (with 4.5).  But I’m still unclear, even after reading this thread, as to whether I risk losing/corrupting old scenes by opening them in 4.5 on the lappy and then saving them, as well as to how difficult an upgrade from 4 to 4.5 on the desktop would be.  So…

Am I better off just leaving 4 on the desktop, and gradually migrating everything to 4.5 on the lappy?  Will 4.5 on the lappy destroy all my old scenes?

In general, I have liked 4.  But this thread does not comfort one regarding 4.5.  For the life of me, I cannot process the pretzel logic behind the file system change.

I am happy to have upgraded to 4.5 ...
As far as I read those with hiccups in their old scenes just had to resave them (maybe with a 45 in the filename) and then they worked.

Thanks, Richard, I will give that a go.

I manually move everything where I want it. Uninstalling and reinstalling “The Genesis Starter Essentials ” is going to cause me a slight headache, also, I think I read somewhere that Genesis was changed; somethings have been moved from the shaping tab into the paramerters tab. Is this true?

edit, sorry I should have posted this in the big thread I guess
there are four threads about the new Daz Studio here in the Commons, easy to get lost

Hi,
I’ve just installed the new DAZ Studio 4.5.1.6 version so now I cannot started! It shows me something like this: (see attachment)
Help anyone?
