Below is a “sanitized” version of the Daz Studio v4.x change log. This information is posted as part of a conscious effort to be more transparent in the development process. Not all information relating to a particular build is presented on this page - some information is still considered private and is therefore not included.

This is the channel where the “production ready” build is distributed to the general public.

This is the channel where the builds that are not considered “production ready” yet are provided for testing by the general public. This channel typically provides a build that is in the BETA phase of development, but technically can provide a build in the ALPHA phase.

  • When set to “Orientation” (default), “Bone” avatars are drawn axis-aligned according to the orientation of the bone itself
    • Clicking the bone avatar causes the bone itself to become selected
  • When set to “Hierarchy”, “Bone” avatars are drawn between the origin of the bone and the origin of its parent
    • “Joint” avatars are drawn around the origin of the bone
    • Clicking the joint avatar causes the bone itself to become selected

  • Fixed an issue with being able to click on bone/joint avatars of objects that do not define a node/geometry selection map if the avatar being clicked is completely contained within geometry
    • Non-static objects that lack selection map definitions set the “Bone Draw Mode” property to “Hierarchy”
  • A DzBoolProperty named “CTRLDisableAutoFit” is now used to prevent the AutoFit dialog from being displayed while establishing follow target/follower relationships
    • The property label is “Disable AutoFit”

    • The property is created on the skeleton node of non-static objects that do not define a rig of their own
      • Followers that were merged during use of FBX Exporter (and so lost their independent rig/binding)
      • Geometries that originate from another source, bound to the same rig as a primary geometry

This channel is similar to the Public Build channel, except that it is limited to a select group of individuals that serve as the “front line” or the “canary in a coal mine” for a time before the build is promoted to a less restricted channel. This channel is more likely to see an ALPHA build than the Public Build channel is.
