Update
The latest general release, Daz Studio 4.15.0.30, is now available and compatible with MacOS Big Sur. https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/463971/daz-studio-4-15-pro-general-release-updated#latest
Please be aware that at the moment Daz Studio is not compatible with macOS Big Sur and cannot be made to run. At present the only option for running DS under MacOS is to downgrade the OS to an earlier version.
Daz is working on an update to address this issue, but it is not due until mid-2021.

We were able to confirm a safe and easy method of accessing Daz Studio on Big Sur OS machines by way of a workaround utilizing Boot Camp.
Boot Camp is a utility that is already available on your Mac that allows you to download and access Windows 10 OS and swap between it and Mac OS at the launch screen. You can learn more about the authenticity and safety of this utility from Apple's own site (which also outlines the install process for this):
https://support.apple.com/boot-camp
https://support.apple.com/guide/bootcamp-assistant/welcome/mac
Please note that depending on how much memory you are able to allocate to this, operational speed within the Windows OS may lag compared to the Mac OS. Additionally, it is strongly recommended that you research this beforehand to ensure that Boot Camp will work efficiently on your specific system. We understand that this workflow is not ideal, but it does allow for Big Sur users to still access Daz Studio and its applications while we work on resolving this in the meantime, and I wanted to make you aware of this in case this information is beneficial to you. We do appreciate your continued patience.
