Having the bug where some OOT hairs are refusing to render.
Latest NVIDIA Studio drivers: 546.01
Only Camilla hair loaded in the scene,nothing else.

Load the hair, select it and look for the Transmitted Color channel on the Surfaces pane. If there is a map in that channel, remove it and report it. The hair will need updating (OOT has updated a number of the hair models, maybe this one fell between the cracks)
Maybe, I'm bad about not updating products. I did just try to remove the maps manually, save the scene and reload the program with the same result.
EDIT: I'm dumb. I thought you meant Translucency. Will get them updated asap.
Crash! (Repeatedly!)
1st attempt after update/upgrade... crash, tried again, crash!
I know, let's update nvidia drivers, just in case - done and reboot, crash!
There's a theme going on here, more crashes than on the highway!
Now I hope to revert back to 6.21, at least that seemed to (mostly) work!
Installed v4.22 using DazCentral.
Open v4.22 all panes are blank?
Check drivers, they are up to date.
Closes DazCentral and open DIM, sure enough DazCentral downloaded but lied as it did not install.
Install with DIM.
It works;)
!3th floor, so far so good!
What do you all think of that New scane when you click new.
I think it just gets the way, yet there seems no way to stop it.
It also seems render slower
The Ghost thing has an issue when the ghost light is a plan you get a shadw that seems to be coming form the edge of the plan.
How's the rendering speed? Has anyone tested the rendering speed increase?
In what circumstances? I am not seeing this. Try setting the emissive plane's Refraction Index to 1 (should be the default) and Refraction Strength to 1, which is effectively making it like air.
Does anyone have an Idea how this is working on Mac M2's? I have a Mac M2 Ultra and I'm hesitant to upgrade until I know how it is on this OS.
Does anyone know what the minimum NVIDIA GPU driver version is for this? I''m currently running 536.23.
Cheers,
Alex.
That is fine, I've been using 533.99
Which macOS version are you running?
There are bugs with DS in macOS 14, but they were the same for DS 4.21.0.5 so nothing changed there. I run this version on 12.7 and 13.7 M1pro and x86 (I do have macOS 14 on my M2 Air
Good news! Many thanks.
Alex.
I'm running Mac OS Ventura 13.5.2 I've done a little bit of work on the previous DS version and everything seemed to be fair but I definitely don't want to go from fair to bad. I haven't updated to Sonoma yet as I want software programs to catch any issues and patch it before i take the plunge. I'm also wondering if the team is working on those MacOS bugs as well. I spend a crap ton of money here and if there isn't going to be regular support for MacOS then I don't see the need to continue purchasing. I know it's all about Nvidia for folks but I'm quite thrilled with my mac and no plans on going back to Windows Systems. Thanks for the input Totte
Seems to work with OOT hair, didn't do any tuning. Both the Iray Viewport and the normal rendering seem to be working.
It's not working at all. Buggy as [all get out]. Please allow us to revert to 4.21.
I'm running a M2 Mac Studio. TBH, 4.22 feels *slightly less* stable than 4.21. Not entirely unexpected for a brand new release, but frustrating.
The one notable bug I've seen so far is that ground fog doesn't render the same as the previous version. Effectively uselesss, as it seems to obscure the whole image.
It only happens when the plan is vertical I've attached a scene it contains 2 plans one called floor and Ghost Light also this scane the Ghost light has reflection . And yes the refaction stength is 1 and the refaction index is 1 and primery rays off
What bugs are you encountering?
That look right to me - you have light coming from both sides of a zero-thickness object, so the area very close to the line of intersection between the floor and an expanded light plane will be illuminated only by light rays emitted almost parallel to the plane. If you turn off Two Sided Light in the Surfaces you will see one bright area, fading to dark as the rays become nearly vertical - rotate that plane about it's horizontal axis and you will get the same bright area fading sharply at the near edge. With Two Sided Light on you get those areas back to back, with a dark area down the join.
Some hairs are crashing Daz when using the auxiliary viewport and when rendering. Also the fact that performance is worse and rendering time doubled compared to 4.21. I've submitted a ticket related to this bug.
Zero-thickness object ?
Here's a screenshot.
Here's another better View
You still ave a rfelction, because you haven't turned up the Iray Ghost Light Factor, but yes the dark stripe is what I would expect from the geoemtry of the scene - there is no light coming sideways from the plane. Turn Visible to primary rays back on (un-ghjost it) and the light will rmain the same.
Out of Touch hairs? There was an issue with a mis-applied map affecting those, many were updated but depending ion installation order (or, with Connect, on which version is found first) the older version of the shared file may get loaded.
Yeah, Okay Ghost light factor was at one I've changed to 2 no reflection.
Thanks
For OOT hairs causing crashes, remove the map in the Transmitted Color channel if it exists.
If there is no map, just click the arrow and select None. Do that before applying the MAT colors, and it seems to stabilize. Use the Aux Viewport set to Iray mode to see. If Aux Viewport renders normally, the full render will work. But, to be sure, please save your project before opening the Aux Viewport.
Crashing when i try to render OOT hair. All i need is 4.21 back!
That would be my wish too. Unfortunately, Daz doesn't offer old versions.
About that, how do we ask for old versions here?
