Daz 6 and Octane Plug-in

SkatingJesus

Hi everyone,

 

 

 

I suscribed recently to Daz Premier, allowing the use of version 6 for Daz Studio.

Sure, it looks better, but I can't use it, as my favorite render engine is Octane (Otoy). And Otoy didn't release any Octane version for Daz 6.

 

Exploring their forums, I noted this post:

"We cannot currently release support for DAZ Studio 2025 due to the unavailability of a public SDK from DAZ. We anticipate DAZ may release their SDK following the completion of their alpha or beta testing phases, though the timeline for this remains uncertain.
Once the SDK becomes available, additional development time will be required to adapt our plugin due to the significant architectural changes, particularly the transition from Qt4 to Qt6.
Meanwhile, we continue focusing on implementing missing Octane features in our current plugin to address longstanding gaps in functionality.
This should clarify our current development priorities and constraints."

Toi be honest, I have no idea what SDK means, but I guess that is the element which doesn't allow me to install Octane for Daz 6.

Is there any news about this?

 

Thanks for your future answers!

Basically, it's the instructions and test bench for creating plugins.

Haven't heard/seen anything yet on its release, thus, imho, we probably won't see anything until it moves from Alpha to Beta.
