New plugins, utilities and which DAZ version are they for.

TomhipTomhip Posts: 623

We now have two version of DAZ and the lnformation seems to be not very clear as to which verions of DAZ they are compatible with. 

Sometimes the info is in name, sometimes in description and sometimes nowhere at all.

I feel like store needs some clear information about which plugins and utilities are compatible with DAZ6 and which are for DAZ4.

I am currently still using 4 until I know things I relay on are working in 6, but I am reluctant to buy any new ones until there is clear info what version they are compatible if not both.

    Agreed.  I have no intention to move to DS 6 in the near future, as I'm far too dependent on a lot of scripts and utilities that may no longer work in DS6... I still remember the nightmare that switching from DS3 to DS4 engendered.  As such, the lack of clarity on this issue is pretty frustrating.

    There used to be a "compatible software" section on product pages, but for some reason it was removed during the latest store redesign. Hopefully it will be reinstated at some point.

    Yes, but even that didn't distinguish between DAZ Studio versions. It merely showed the latest DAZ version to distinguish between it and other software such as Poser. What we really need is a way to easily determine what DS versions an item works with.

    No. There were two different Daz Studio versions in that list. It had Daz Studio 4.24 and Daz Studio 6.x. There were a few things in the store that had one or the other but not both. It's removal was extremely baffling.

    It did distinguish between major DS versions, but not minor versions of DS4.
