Daz Studio Premier and DS 2025 Alpha question.
in The Commons
Hello, I'm curious about signing up to Daz Studio Premier but, are the plugins like geometry sculptor or Render Queue are available to be used in the current DS 2025 Alpha build? If they aren't will they be added during the alpha/beta builds or when it is officially released?
I tired to search for an answer for my question but couldn't find it anywhere.
Thanks.

There's an alpha version of some of them available already. Geometry Sculptor is not available yet, they're working on it.
Really curious about the Daz Studio Premier. For the people who has it, is it worth it ?
Remeber that Daz Studio Premier is just Daz Studio with some extra plug-ins supported and sosme extra features (e.g. Auto Save) enabled - it isn't a different applicaiton so the bits that are the same are exactly the same.
Does Premier render faster? Has anyone used the character converter? Does it work?

There is absolutely no difference in the render engine.
To reiterate the point Richard made: Daz Studio Premier is almost entirely the standard Daz Studio, apart from the fact a few of of ManFriday's plug-ins (Mesh Grabber, dForce Companion, Render Queue, and Character Converter) have been polished up and bolted on.
From many perspectives, these are really just quality of life features (good quality of life features, but all they do is automate things you can do manually - albeit sometimes via exporting to another application like Blender). There are no major capabilities of the program that are locked away.
All cross-generational conversion is going to be a bit rough around the edges. Some figures will transfer fine, others may experience issues.
Premier is just additional features, it doesn't change the core application - so no, it doesn't render faster. There is some discussion of the converter, and of the original PA plug-in, scattered across the forum.
No, there's nothing related to rendering in Premier features
Character converter premier plugin is based on ManFriday's figure converter plugin which used to be sold as a PA product. Here's the commercial thread about the original plugin: https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/642546/released-manfriday-s-figure-converter-for-genesis-9-commercial/p1
