Is your GPU listed in Render Settings - Hardware? Drivers up to date?
Can confirm some scripts/uitilities are working now, but some plugins such as mesh grabber can't be found. A huge improvement.
The best thing about Daz 6 is the speed, everything from load up assets to complete render a ultra HD render takes less a min
Thank you for trying to help me, it was user error - I had the Strand-based hair editor tool selected and didn't realize that's why Iray Preview wasn't working. As soon as I switched to the Universal Tool I was able to get Iray Preview to work again.
What driver are you using? Perhaps because it needs to work with raw geometry, not the interpolated curves in Iray (though I wasn't aware of this particular limitation).
Hi Maybe this is the wrong place to be posting this but I believe I've found an issue with editing the spline of a Dformer. When I try to click on a knot in the grid it doesn't select the knot I'm clicking on and automatically selects the knot on the far right side. This is seriously a problem that doesn't get left for years... I use dformers constantly and often edit the spline so this update has seriously handicapped that feature.
Now... I'm making this post the day the damn thing got released so I understand that some things need to be ironed out. Please just make sure this is one of those things!!!!
Also I'm loving version 6 so far. Lots of great optimization to make daz much more of a pleasure to use. THANK YOU SO MUCH. Please keep up this great work towards making Daz more functional.
I've done some renders with Daz 6. Overall, Daz 6 seems to work faster, G9 load's really fast and that's a big plus... view port is pain... but it was pain in the prev version too. It took 4min to render (2k img) with Daz 6 and 5min and 12 sec with Daz 4 same scene and setting. (4080 super).
There was one img I've rendered that the hair color on G9 was bit brighter with Daz 4. Can't say that's an issue.
Did a compare between DS 6.25.2026.14722 and 4.24.0.3 using a scene created in 4.24 (G9 character).
i5-12400 with UHD 730 onboard graphics
GTX1070 8GB, driver 560.94
32 GB DDR4
It appears that DS 6 doesn't see the GTX 1070 at all (driver is probably too old), but uses onboard graphics (if CPU is enabled under Render Settings in DS) and system memory instead. It's fairly fast anyway though, compared to the GTX card:
Rendering in separate window:
DS 4, GTX 1070 only: Total Rendering Time: 1 minutes 44.83 seconds
DS 6, onboard graphics only: Total Rendering Time: 5 minutes 6.24 seconds
Renders look exactly the same.
However, Iray preview lag is much smaller in 6 than in 4.24, and preview render is also pretty fast in 6, despite using onboard graphics. Here's a video showing the difference, 1st minute is DS 6 using onboard graphics, shifts to DS 4.24 using GTX card at 1:00

Jeeeezzzz!! Same here!!
I already reinstalled the gpu driver, reinstalled DAZ and made a support ticket! xDDD
That's a crazy one. Thanks for your post....
As a 3060 owner, does going with Daz Studio 6 benefit me in any meaningful way?
I see this too.
I am also confused what the point of this column is. I can change the color, but what does that gain me? It is just wasting space. It is also occupying the space that used to be for toggling item visibility, which is now in the third column. I would be interested to know what was the thinking behind this change. I have tried to get rid of the color column but there does not appear to be anyway of doing it, or of rearranging the column order.
EDIT: I asked the AI agent in Studio, and this is what it said for the reasoning behind this column:
The Color (C) column in the Scene pane is for organizing and visually grouping nodes by color, so you can tell things apart at a glance in busy scenes.
Common uses include:
Click a swatch to pick a color, and you can also apply it down the hierarchy (Ctrl/Cmd click) or reset it (Alt/Option click).
Does not seem to be very useful to me. I asked if the column can be removed, and I was told no, but a feature to allow this has been requested.
We use those in Photoshop (helps categorizing and organizing things by colour) but choosing to add them now, after all these years, is throwing everyone off. Clicked on one of those stupid boxes accidentally a hundred times last night.
It's running fairly well for me under Tahoe26.4.1, if that helps.
I'm running version 26.5.1, and I'm really happy that GOZ is back.
