    Ah, yes - I was thinking only of plugins, not products.

    Yes, a number of older products which are stored as .daz files don't work in 4.11 - not sure exactly which version they last worked in (they all work in my 4.6 installation) Not just Optitex dynamics, but also a number of environment products. I scanned all my libraries for .daz files, tried them out in 4.11 and all the ones that don't work I went back to 4.6 and saved them as .duf files. I posted a list in the Beta thread a couple of weeks ago - here: https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/comment/4311556/#Comment_4311556

    I checked your text file and went to check the PC files you listed. I have the Carnival Carousel so installed both the Poser and DAZ versions and found the DAZ version is in .duf format.

     

    No the Carousel itself is good, it's the La Calesita texture set for it that is still .daz. Maybe I should list the PC+ ones in Jen Greenlees' updates thread and see if they can be scheduled for an upgrade.

    Ah. My mistake. The PS version of the Calesita textures has the whole thing in .cr2 format, though. Does Studio 4.11 load that?

     

    The Studio version of La Calesita loads a preformed Carousel (including the base, fence and ticket booth) with all the Calesita textures.

    The Poser .cr2 will load the Carousel but you then have to apply the DS materials piece by piece - there are about 9 materials in .pz2/.dsb format, for which you need to select the right parts of the model (including multiple selections for groups of horses, etc) so it's rather more fiddly than the .daz file was. So it can be done but the old way was better.

    Thanks. Yes, of course the ideal solution is fix the .daz scene file but meanwhile since the textures are loaded, you could try RSSY converter from 3Delight to Iray (and there may be other converters) which would simplify the process.

    I'm just glad the .cr2 files still load because I have a ton of them that are still useful for me.

    BTW, i'm still wondering if 4.11 addresses the agonizingly slow saving of scene files (the first time you save)?

     

    Well, I re-saved the Carousel-La-Calesita as a scene subset in DS4.6 (along with all the other failing .daz items) so I'm OK to go!

    I've not had any particular saving problems with 4.11 - but I've not (yet) experience "agonizingly slow" saves in any version. A large-ish scene with lots of Poser .obj-based content will take a time as it has to create and save all the data files/UVsets/Morphs as well as the scene info. Not something I do often.

    Thanks Odaa and MelanieL for sharing your methods.

    So I've searched my Daz library for .daz file extensions (in Windows 10, search in Explorer using syntax ext:.daz). I have quite a few, too many to re-save in one session. Can anyone advise how I can get the results of that search into a spreadsheet so I can track which ones I've saved as .duf files, please?
