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.
