    I honestly doubt they plan to go to Major Version 5 very soon, since what you want beyond that can easily be added to the current version in private testing.

    It might be best to think of the ‘4’ in front of the Daz Studio version number like the X in OSX. Every version of the Mac operating system is 10.cat/ski resort.  They’ve been on version 10 a lonnng time.

    Here's a list of what Daz Studio 5 could have:

    - Bullet Physics

    - Particle System

    - Built-in Sculpting

    - Improved D-former (think FFD plugin in Sketchup)

    - Mocap

    As I said, all of these things could be done with the existing SDK version; a new major version of the SDK and accompanying software is not needed.

    Exactly. The v5 sdk will require a recompile of all plugins... that can be done in the current version; no one is going to trade in those features for the loss of GenX2

    The link between a possible DS 5 and animation is purely in your own head - no one from daz has ever said that DS 5 will bring aniamtion changes, a former employeee a very long time ago (I think when DS 4 was paid for) said that the features you were askign for would not be added before DS5, but that was not a binding promise and may well have ceased to apply with the reversion to a "freemium" model (and indeed we have seen improvements in animation-related tools).

    Since you already have a thread about "DS 5" features this thread is being locked.
