Studio 6: No Premier plug-ins are available.

I've registered Studio with the appropriate serial number, I'm connect to my Daz account but I see none of the Premier plug-ins; auto save, pose transfer, shape transfer, ect, listed. I've tried merge menus et al, but these plug-ins remain unavailable.

    I assume you installed the DS6 version of the plugins?

    Open File Explorer, go to the folder : C:\Program Files\DAZ 3D\DAZStudio6\plugins,  check if Premier plugins are installed. See the below screenshot.

    If they're not installed, install them with DIM ~

    Well, my system is a bit different because I'm on a Mac but I can find nothing in DIM which would be plugins for Studio 6. When I installed Studio 6, I installed the related items available. DIM for me has nothing available which would be the other than the standard plugins. So, I tried copying the plugins for Studio 4 and pasting them into the Studio 6 folder. When I opened Studio 6, those Premier plugins are listed but with red symbol next to each.

    If so, in DIM > Ready to Download tab, click Download Filters button, check if Plugin under Install Type tags is ticked. Accept and Refresh. See if Premier plugins show under Ready to Download.

    Standard plugins are included in Daz Studio installation package but Premier plugins as well as plugin products from PAs are listed separately ~~

    Ya know what, bleep it. It seems the biggest feature of 6 is some sort of AI and I have zero interest in AI of any kind so I'm just going to uninstal Studio 6 and continue using Studio 4 which works and has the Premier plugins available. Thanks for your help, though. I appreciate the effort.

    All right ! A wiser choice !

    The AI is the very least important item in Daz6. I used the beta for a month and never touched it. You can disable it in the plugins menu.

    Not sure why you don’t have them in DIM, maybe check your download filters.
    For the record there's another new feature in DS6 for Mac users: Filament has now been integrated. So if you're interested in Filament or Filatoon you might want to keep it installed.

    Understand your confusion. The simple answer is that I'm on a Mac. Were I using Windows, it probably wouldn't be and issue. I download stuff routinely without issue. There's nothing wrong with my filters or whatever. The plugins are simply not there for me to download. At all. As ususal as far as Daz is concerned, Mac users have been and always will be second class citizens. After 15 years of this, I've gotten used to it.

    My Dim has been a little strange the last week or so. For some reason 7 or 8 files pertaining to G2 and G3 and CF and Poser have shown up at the top of the list of things to install. New stuff showed up there too. And Daz Studio 6, but only the program installer. I had to search for Premier then the plugins showed up so I could install them. So if you're not seeing them, maybe you need to search for them.

    Indeed, I have done that. Used Premier, used plugins... Nothing. Zero. Bupkis. Those plugins are simply unavailable to me through DIM.

    Maybe you could search for the plugin names.

    I modified my filters in DIM to show Mac files and see a DS6 general release version of dForce Manager and Geometry Sculptor when I search for "premier". The others don't seem to be available as general release yet for Mac, only beta (or maybe they're tagged incorrectly so my filters don't catch them)

    The plug-ins seem to have been installed but when I expand show installed files, they are grayed out. I'm gonna guess that Daz released this full of fanfare abd self back patting without making the Mac version compatible with Premier. Another obvious slap in the face of Mac users.

    Did you install the General release or beta of DS6? What I see installed in your screenshot is the beta version of the plugins

    I see three options: Public Build, Publishing Build, Private Build. No "beta". So it's not entirely clear which is which. I'm assuming Publishing Build general release, which is what I downloaded. If I'm wrong, then Daz needs to do a far better job of designationg which is the general, ready to use release.

    General release doesn't have a tag or an option in download filters. The version you have installed for DS4 is a general release according to your screenshot. There's no mention of the type of build in the product name for General release packages.

    Public build is the test version available to the general public. Currently for DS6 it's the beta, earlier the alpha was also available as a public build. If you look at the line for Autosave in your screenshot you can see "Public Build +BETA+" in the name of the package, and a yellow "PB" tag.

    Publishing Build is a test version made available to PA, usually an more recent version than the public build where they can test new features. 

    Private build is for private test versions only available to specific groups of testers.

    My first guess is to open DIM, click on the ger on the upper right hand corner and go to Advanced Settings,  See if both Daz 4 and the Dz 2025 are both checked so tht DIM can load Premier plugins.
    Just out of curiosity, every once in a while DIM hs default filters updates. Search for those in DIM to see if they were updated by clicking on the DIM gear and look at Install Modules.  If not, install them. I work on my iMac and the Premier tools showed up for me.
