...yes and yes. It would be nice not to have to shell out a lot of money to get the latest greatest high VRAM GPU for those of us on a tight budget or with older systems. True this would involve having to discuss the matter with Nvidia
...it would be nice to have a hair system that doesn't require translation for use with Iray.
As to importing, would be nice to have native .lwo and .3ds import.
...@ mork, Totally agree on a Linux version. As Win7 is approaching it's EOL and Apple has shifted to AMD GPUs her needs to be another option to Win10.
It's the Control Panel in Windows (I assume Macs have a similar option).
I'd like the Scene tab's selection to be fixed. It often selects tons of items my mouse wasn't even near. Not sure why it does that.
I would go for a lightwave import too. Especially for morphs. I would write one, but not sure if that's possible. I have all the code here for loading objects that I wrote myself. Is there an API for imports? I'd like the texture settings to be updated on export as well.
Totally agree. I'm about to migrate from win7 to "Ubuntu MATE". The desktop and menu interface is drastically better for a workstation then that want-to-be cell-phone OS.
Changing the setting under Mouse Properties works for me in Windows 10 and DS 4.9.2.70. Can't test it in other Windows versions right now.
Have you check if ClickLock is turned on? You can find the option under Mouse Properties > Buttons. Otherwise you may have a problem with a hanging mouse button.
Doubleclicking when you single click is another problem with some mice/trackballs, caused by bad or worn-out microswitches, dirt, or other things. There are long threads about it in the Logitech forums. The M570 trackball is often affected by it.
Nope, you are offline... until you decide to go back online for updates etc...
When 4.9 starts up there is a login box. You can choose to enter your details or not, and there is a tickbox to tell it never to ask again. You can use 4.9 without going near the awful Connect features.
(I know because I gave in and upgraded it because I was sick of inconsistent Iray shaders, but now I have to deal with a ton of Iray figures designed for 4.8 so it didn't solve anything and the program is uglier and bloated now >.>)
So what I'd really like to see in 5.0 is the acceptance that 4.9 was a mistake and rather than trying to bandaid fix it, go in a new direction.
This is a really great Idea but Iray is tied to MS and Daz is into Iray in a big way. If there was a way to get Iray without MS on Linux, then Daz could create a flavor of Unbuntu Daz with Installers for just doing graphics. Now that would be a great system to have for doing 3D. No more guessing if MS going to break something DAZ would be in control of the OS they support. Daz would have to invest into Open Source Linux thou and I don't see that happening. I could be wrong?
Mine does this also, two different computers, 4.9 and 4.8, two mice, one <1yr, one <1mo, one Logitech, one Sharkk. Happens once or twice per session on either computer.
This. 4.9 is ugly and full of oddball, see-one-time glitches that aren't worth a trouble ticket because they don't return. I'm back to using 4.8, despite the slightly slower render times. New is not always best. I didn't see any complaints about the old interface outside of the small fonts, change just for the sake of change? Pffffffftttt...
As someone who likes 4.8, I can agree with that. And I did try 4.9 on a laptop to see how it looked.
...so it looks like once W7 reaches the end of the line so does Daz. Pity after all I invested in this, however, MS lost me with W10 and their iron fisted update policy. Crikey they pretty much lost be with W8 and it's "Fisher Price" UI.
Considering Nvidia is designing the next generation Tesla GPUs for use with Unix based supercomputers, one would think porting Iray to Linux.wouldn't be such a big deal.
As to linux "flavours", from what I've read, Mint seems to be a better platform.
...as I understand I would have to rework all my characters' skins because of changes to Iray, something I don't look forward to doing.
Sounds like Daz's "WIn 8".
...so they changed the UI? I don't have much issue with the fonts in 4.8 as I have a 24" and 25" displays set up in dual mode.
DRM removed. Not sure if this has been mentioned. This would add functionality imo.
And they nerfed the smart tab search, so no results show up at all unless you type in the full word or put funny characters in the search box. That was a change that had to do with the performance of the search function things, so I'm on the fence with that. I can't spell, so I kind of need that reducing list as I type thing.
+1, 10, 100, 100000000000000000
A checkbox to allow or restrict how accurate it has to be.
...being dyslexic, that certainly is no good for me.
Bad enough this spell checker here on the forums reeks as it doesn't flag words smaller than 4 characters and has to be turned on every time you write a post.
...and sometimes requires several clicks just to get it to open.
They also made the text section of items in Content Library bigger for some reason, so even if the extra space isn't needed all products take up more space. Having a decent % of blank space in somewhere you want lots of information isn't great.
The Scene tab thing or mouse doubleclick?
I've written a small app that can test for double clicks to see if it's affected by how you push the buttons, it does seem to matter as far as I can see, at least with the M570. Especially releasing the button slowly seems to trigger it. There have been different suggestions in the Logitech forum for how to fix it, including replacing the microswitches, I'm going to try some of them to see if it helps.
Yes, Spooky. That's exactly what I've done. Except I put the custom actions on a toolbar and made icons for them rather than using the dropdown.
Wrong. Iray is for Linux as well: https://developer.nvidia.com/iray-sdk Iray server is recommended for Linux.

I think a lot of folks mix up the Iray stuff with other, game focused things that are tied to DirectX.
No. When you check work offline and don't show me this again, it will skip that dialog and work offline. You can turn it back on in preferences, if you later change your mind.
QT compiles to LINUX too if I remember right, I remember helping another developer compile it to Solaris, of all things, 11 years ago.
Qt started on Linux. It is the basis for the KDE Desktop environment.

BIGGER TYPE that people can actually read.................
And there was a big blowup over the licensing for it at the time, as I recall; something about the license not being OSI approved or some such thing.
