I noticed the text size on DAZ Studio 2025 is really easy to read.
I'm hoping to eventually get a better computer and GPU so I can take full advantage when the final version is released,
WASD scene navigation works if the viewport isn't the focus. Click on something in the smart content pane for instance.
How do you even download Daz3D 2025? I have the filtered checked for betas in DIM. But nothing appears.
Make sure you have DAZ Studio 2025 (6.x) checked under Application Tags on the Downloads tab of DIM. You can also click Settings - Install Modules - Public Build in DIM and it should appear.
And once your DIM filters are set correctly you need to search for daz studio 2025, not daz3d (which is the company name and not the program name).
How to download the this version? Where is the link?
It feels like file loading and saving speeds are faster in this new alpha version. However, the viewport speed feels much slower compared to the previous version. I hope a final version comes out that combines the advantages of each.
In DIM, and enable Studio 2025 in your download filters
I just had to add the .exe file for the latest build as an exception in my AV software (Avast). Running it cauesd Avast to try and scan it, which bluescreened my PC. Once I added an exception it loaded fine. It didn't do this before today's update.
Norton has the annoying habit of scanning each update after inatalaltion, and reporting it clean, then scanning again on first launch. I did have a couple of crashes when it did so that Who Crashed traced back to Noton, but of course this is an AV issue (possibly in an interaction with other things, since not everyone is affected) not really a DS issue as such.
Yup. It's particularly rough when switching between tabs (Aux View to View for example) and Iray Preview is still considerably slower than 4.24 and previous were.
I just downloaded the update 6.25.2025.13207 after updating my MacMiniM4 Pro's OS to Sequoia 15.5 and noticed a tiny lag on the initial opening. I checked my settings for Content and my Tabs and all remained as they were. I then went to Window/Workspace/Update and Merge Menus and they duplicated the upper file headers again. The ones with the full drop downs moved to the right. But the 3 scripts I had previously added to the scripts were there before merging but are now gone. That script header did not duplicate either. I am attaching a screen image.
I know I have mentioned this before, but I am not sure if it was assumed to be corrected or not. And also the issue of scripts being dropped off after being saved to the top bar had been fixed?
Edit to add: I closed Daz Studio Alpha, reopened it and there is one set of headers now, minus 'Scripts'. See second screen image. It did reappear after I added the 3 scripts back to the main bar.
Hi, I just wanted to throw my 2 cents in. I just got an RTX 5080 (pretty much for using Daz). So far, I have encounted several minor bugs, including the render que getting caught in a continual loop and the option to select views and move cameras being disabled. That being said, I have noticed a HUGE performance upgrade and the main parts of the program have worked consitently aside from the occasional blips I mentioned over the past four days of use. Unfortunately, I don't have the expertise to judge when a bug is something that needs to be addressed, or when I've just been playing around too much and the program gets caught up in loops and just needs to be restarted.
All in all, I am very happy with Alpha so far, as I expected far more in the way of bugs. Gotta have my Geometry Sculptor (Mesh Grabber) tho!
and for intel gpu's? found solution to fix that gray viewport?
Working with a 5090 now, got it all hooked up and bought some marshmallows (just in case).
Besides what's missing, V6 works nice!
Got it to work, thanks!
Seems like any scripts added to Favorites or The Scripts menu up top will not work for me. Anyone else seeing this?
You have to click Favorites or Scripts for the submenu to show up. The first image shows the empty Scripts submenu, the following shows creating and adding a script custom action and the populated submenu.
I had added three of Code 66's scripts to see if I could, and then clicked to see if they would open, and they did. Other than being wiped out when the version updates and I update & merge menus, they are okay. I haven't tried other PA's scripts though.
I have downloaded and installed the new DAZ Studio 2025 Alpha version and did a very quick test. And obviously there were some problems. I think these problems are worth commenting, even if we assume that many of these problems would soon be fixed before the Alpha version is ready for distribution.
First, in the new version - at least in its current form - all my interface personalization - both in layout and style - is no longer available. It's gone! This is a big issue for me because I have created a lot of personalized actions, both in scripts and assets, which I put in the different menus and toolbars to get an easy access. If these actions are no longer available means that I would have to manually re-create them all from scratch, one by one, which is of course a very big shame.
Second problem: "Texture Shaded" mode is not working as it should. All I See are black shadows as if there was no lighting, which is not the case. The only preview option for now is Filament.
Third problem: A scene that contains assets imported directly from a Poser library may not show up correctly in the Alpha version. There seems to be a problem with some Poser textures that the new version cannot properly read. This problem appears both when working in the preview mode (using Filament) and in the final render. This failure to read all the textures may explain why it took me incredibly MUCH LONGER time to render a scene in the Alpha version than in my current 4.23 version. I don’t know whether this problem would still appear if I did not use these Poser textures. The improvement here is that when a texture failed to load, Daz Studio now tells you which is the asset that contains the texture - the likely cause of the problem.
Where there is certainly an improvement - although not as dramatic as advertised - is in the loading/ unloading times of assets and scenes. The loading time of a very complex scene - one with 11 Genesis characters and many lights and props - reduces from 4 to 5 minutes (in my current 4.23 version) to 3.5 minutes in the Alpha version. Similarly, the action of clearing the viewport by hitting the “New Scene” button took me 45 seconds to complete in the current version but just 20 seconds in the Alpha version.
So, there are undoubtedly some improvements in the new 2025 version but still many things seem to be missing. And unless I have not installed the new version correctly - a possibility which I can’t rule out - DAZ would still have a lot of work to do until the new Alpha version is ready for distribution.
http://docs.daz3d.com/doku.php/public/software/dazstudio/4/referenceguide/scripting/api_reference/samples/general_ui/copy_ui_from_channel/start can be adapted to copy the UI from another channel, http://docs.daz3d.com/doku.php/public/software/dazstudio/4/referenceguide/scripting/api_reference/samples/file_io/save_mapped_paths/start can be used to transfer content directory settings. The differnt release channels keep their settings separate deliberately - users would usually not be happy if an issue in a non-general version hit the settings for the genreal, there may well be new features that make an alternative layout desirable or even that require different versions of some content, or there may be changes in the way tools work that mean the settings have changed.
Hey all, I have downloaded & using DAZ Studio 2025 Alpha. I have 2 issues:
1. Unable to load any Gen 4 characters with the Daz Studio icon in upper left corner, not sure what the icon is called. See attached pix
2. When I load DIM, I get a window pop up message that states: Below is a list of componets necessary for successfully running DAZ Studio: PostgreSQL CMS & DAZ Studio 4.24 (WIN 64-bit) - do I need to download these 2 components pls? See attached pix
Thanks!!
Yes, you do need to install PostgreSQL. The Daz Studio 4.24 shows as an update, so install that as well.
Do you have the Gen 4 characters installed?
Doctorjellybean
1. Thanks!
2. Yes I have all the Gen 4 Characters installed. I had no problem loading them until I downloaded + Public Build + ALPHA
And did you map the content paths as they are for DS4 in 2025 ALPHA?
Install PostgreSQL and the 4.24 update and try again. Make sure there are no instances of any DS version running.
The icon at top-right means there is a companion script, the file is still in Poser format but when you double-click the script is run - in this case the figure is loaded and then the Power Loader tool is run to bring in the morphs. What happens when you try, are there any erros near the end of Help>Troubleshooting>View Log File? Can you load the figures from the Content Library under Poser Formats>your content directory>Figures>Daz people?
Hey Richard!
1. What happens when you try? Nothing happens, no error message, etc. I could double click on the characters or right click & merge into scence, but nothing happens.
2. Nothing in the View Log File pertaining to these characters
3. Also unable to load characters from my Poser Format>my directory>Figures>DAZ People
4. I also double checked that I had PowerLoaders installed via DIM
One other thing you might try: click on the character you want to load into the scene and drag it from the library into the scene and see if that triggers it.
Same nothing happens, or are they simply not there? What happens if you hold down cmd/ctrl as you double-click the file?
