Daz 3D strives to provide the ultimate user experience in each update of the Daz Studio application. Along with various bug fixes, this update provides artists with new tools and workflow improvements that enhance ease of use and efficiency.

A considerable portion of the changes and improvements included in this update are targeted specifically at browsing and managing your content. In 4.9 we have added new features that help you manage and maintain content purchased with your Daz 3D account and uses a new content delivery service:. Now, directly within the application, you can find, install, and update products you have already purchased. You can also now purchase products directly within Daz Studio and put the new to work for you.

This allows you to browse products you have not purchased, which are filtered based on content you already have installed and you are currently working with. The in this release include performance improvements, bug fixes, and (in the case of the NVIDIA Iray renderer) a few changes that improve the overall quality of your renders. In earlier versions, the pane displayed filtered assets/products based on compatibility with the selected object and assigned content types. The 4.9 update now also includes a “Filter By Context” option ( and separately ), that lets you disable this filtering behavior and allows you to see content that may not be strictly built to work with the selected object. For instance, after adding a figure to the scene, selecting the “Hair” category in the shows hair in the that fits this figure. Similarly, once you have added hair to your character, the Smart Content pane automatically filters to show accessories and hair colors (materials) that work with that specific hair object. Turning off the “Filter By Context” option shows you all of the products you own, regardless of whether or not they are currently installed, as well as all of the installed files for your products.

This is a great way to see all products you own, regardless of scene selection, and it provides access to content that was not specifically built for your selection but may be a suitable candidate for Auto-Fit. This allows you to apply content originally built for one figure (e.g., Genesis 2) onto another figure (e.g., Genesis 3). Although results may vary, turning Off the “Filter By Context” option lets you try those older products on newer characters. Synchronized Navigation and Filters. The new option helps you more easily navigate and alternate between products and files. When enabled in the, Sync Pages attempts to synchronize category selection in one page with the corresponding category in the opposite page. For instance, if you are looking for long hair to add to your figure, you might start on the and select the “Hair” category, followed by the “Long” sub-category.

Switching to the at that point causes the “Hair > Long” category to be automatically selected. Installing Content. The has been redesigned to be more user-friendly. Functioning much like the Files and Products pages, the new Product Contents View now expands and collapses vertically in a familiar tree-like manner and consumes the whole page instead of a side scrolling list limited to a fraction of the space. Jump “inside” a product to view that specific product's Category and Results Views. Once inside, you can quickly access more information about the product (i.e., Read Me), update the product (if installed using Daz Connect), view the assets in the product, etc., as well as take advantage of the features described below.

Filtering Products by Installed State. The NVIDIA Iray update provides fixes to the implementation of Sub Surface Scattering (SSS) and affects materials that make “Translucency Weight” active (not set to 0). This makes skin tones appear more blue than they do in previous versions. The image on the left is the result of 4.8 skin settings rendered in 4.9, and the image on the right is using a modification of the “SSS Reflectance Tint” from a light blue to a light yellow color. Daz Original products will be updated to reflect the 4.9 rendering changes, but if you encounter any products that render with a bluish tint, feel free to edit the “SSS Reflectance Tint” value to adjust the result to your liking.

The new pane uses filters to give you an easy place to find the products you own and install them locally. Here you can see the products that are not yet installed. Once a product is installed in this new pane, you can update or uninstall it from the pane or the pane. The Install pane is organized similarly to the Smart Content pane with a and a as well as an at the bottom. This filter bar provides options for separating the available products for installation on the Available page from the products undergoing or awaiting installation on the Pending page. You can also choose to install or cancel several selected products at one time using the Install/Cancel Selected button.
