Does Daz work with Mac OS M4 Chip?

    Mac Mini M4 works great!

    You'll not have access to Filament (so no Filatoon renders), Iray will be CPU only (so slower than you could get with a Nvidia GPU) and some plugins only exist for Windows, but yes, it does work on Apple M chips, including the most recent: @memcneil70 shared her experience with her Mac Mini M4 recently.

    For what it's worth, I'm using an M4 Pro and am very happy in DAZ Studio... but I *will* be happier once Filatoon is available in the next major DAZ Studio update.

    I have an M4 MacBook Pro. Studio works well but I'm having a serious problem with add-ons and scripts just bombing Studio out and taking me back to the desktop.

    I haven't run into any add-on issues so far (the only one I use a fair bit is the Thickener plug-in) but yes, scripts are dodgy at best. The Riversoft ones I formerly used the most tend to crash almost all the time. Importing FBX files with animations also causes crashes.

    My overall experience, otherwise, is favourable.

    Running the public build beta of Daz Studio 4.23.1.44 on an M4 iMac and M4 Macbook Air.  Both Macs run that version (and the previous beta versions) for what I do as I'm not really a power user.

    Very happy with the M4 Macs and will hopefully be happy when DS gets updated to the next major version.  But, as I said, DS does run on the M4 chips and macOS Sequoia.
