[Hope this is the right place to ask this???
I am thinking of going from daz3 to daz4
what I need to know is:
1: will all my content from Daz3 still be able to be used in Daz4 ?
2 If I download Daz 4 what happens to Daz3 on my computer (apple mac)
3. If Daz3 content can be used in Daz4, do I have to load all the content into Daz4 all over again.

Thank you for any advice you can give me...

    DAZ Studio 3 & 4 can co-excist on the same machine.

    The only content that may not be usable is certain plugins that have not been updated for DS4.

    Other then that, all content that worked in DS3 should work in DS4.


    The main bennefit to swithching imho is the improved render engine which is much faster. Plus you will be able to use the newer DS4 content like the Subsurface Shader base and the Advanced Ambient Light, Spotlight and Distance light by Ageofarmour.

    1. Most of it, yes.
    2. Nothing. One can run both D/S3 and D/S4 on the same computer [at least on the Windows OS]
    3. Generally speaking, no. One 'points' the program to also comb the directory where stuff already is.
