I can't seem to get the IPR Aux Viewpoint to render in this version - everything else seems fine.
Should it be working or do we need to do something to turn it on in this version?
Note you can also set, if your computer has enough power but not enough to use it in the main viewport, your viewport mode for the aux viewport to Iray drawstyle, if you wish to use the Iray render engine and the Aux viewport for preview. .
Make sure DS is off. (Check task manager.) Uninstall DS (Bets only if that is the only one with the issue) and all the plug-ins for the version of DS that you uninstalled (Beta presumed). Install DS and plug-ins.
You should be fine.
Using 3Delight or iray? The IPR won't work in Iray - it's a 3Delight feature - but you can set the Aux Viewport to use the Iray preview mode while using one of the faster modes in the main viewport to have the same workflow.
The Eye surfaces for the dragon need to be adjusted. Try applying the water-Thin shader to the reflection surface and see if that improves things for you.
What about my question on distant lights in Iray? Last I read or heard only the Point and Spot lights worked as photometric in DS... but I do see photometric options for the distant light in the interface. I know Iray supports distant lights in other applications.... so are they geared now to work in DS Iray?
A distant light, since it has no falloff, is not a real world light, so therefore not photometric. (Though it does work in Iray.)
Ah! No falloff. That would explain why lee_lhs had to turn the lumens down so low :)
Is the Cloud feature going to enable us to really make use of Iray cloud rendering farm services currently available? Am I understanding that correctly? Is this a feature albeit in beta that is functional now?
This version is for connections to one or more of NVIDIA's Visual Computing Appliances (VCA), so if the particular cloud service you are using, uses those then it should work now.
What the future holds? Sorry, no crystal ball here. :)
OK, it's probably something obvious, but I still don't see it for download?
trying deleting the sku and type beta
OK, tried it, but still blank...?
EDIT: If I go to the product in my account, all it shows is the:
1) Scene Builder for DAZ Studio Public Build +Beta+
2) Public Beta Iray Support Content
If I click the bigger button, this is what shows up in the Install Manager
...same situation but the opposite for me since yesterday as I can log on from the workstation but not my notebook.
Considering I changed no settings related to Daz3d on the notebook I find it odd. Don't like using the workstation for the forums as being online takes valuable resources (CPU, GPU, memory) away from scene work and rendering. Also I tend to read the forums while a render process is cooking or pull up tutorials/information while working on a scene (which I have been doing a lot with Iray). .
...so far 0.44 has been working OK (save for the "white screen/black screen" issue when loading a scene). Always get a bit apprehensive when others mention about issues/errors with a new release update as once installed there is no rolling back.
The newest version has been working ok for me as long as I don't turn caustics on (which is what I was doing Friday when I kept getting crashes).
...in viewing the changelog, I notice a lot of the updates have to do with the Shader Mixer. Does this relate to stuff that goes on "behind the scenes" or for those who actively use the Shader Mixer to create/adjust shaders?
All the pages say "Purchased", and it is in my product library, and here is the product page screenshot below. Is this what everyone else sees? Just two item there....
EDIT: added product library from left side of screen below as well

I am having this problem too and submitted a support ticket on Friday. Was told they were working on the forums and should be working within the next day. Guess because it is the weekend it is still not working and I can only access the forums using a different computer.
Worrying to see that my accounts username had been changed to something else, so will need to update the support ticket when Daz Staff are back in the office on Monday.
Cheers.
...looks like they have it fixed as I am back on the notebook again.
How strange, I just logged back into my account on the computer I use for my 3d art and it's working for me too. Wonder if logging in on a different computer did some sort of re-set, or if someone at Daz saw these comments just now, and even though it is Sunday, managed to remotely fix the problem.
Oh well, that's good news, and thanks Kyoto Kid for the update, and to Daz for the fix.
Cheers :-)
Little OT but boy oh boy... I hope you guys aren't blowing your wad on goodies with probably the next version being the ultimate upgrade to DS 5!
Popped back by for any updates...no worries about the broken Install Manager. Looks like too many bugs yet anyway for the Beta. I'll wait for the manual download, when it's released. I never use that install manager anyway.
...OK, I take back what I said earlier about ver. 0.44 working fine.
Just had Daz freeze up in a "Not responding" mode that was so bad it locked up my entire system for nearly forty minutes to the point I couldn't even access Windows Task Manager to shut it down. When everything finally returned to "normal" the I was able to open Task manager and saw the programme was using only about 3GB of memory (out of 12). However, for some odd reason, it was hitting the HD constantly throughout the incident as well as several times during the session causing me to receive several "High Disk Usage" warnings. As a matter of fact, the programme been sluggish all day long.
With the programme now closed I am looking at six instances of the PostgreSQL server process running.
Has 4.8.0.51 been deployed to DIM? I'm running .44 and no update available.
One last thing to try is to make sure the Daz Studio 4.5+ filter is also checked. 4.5+ specific items don't show up without that enabled.
I don't seem to have any Phoometric Lights in my Create menu..any ideas anyone?
Barbara
Each light is now switchable to photometric mode, to get the lumens setting etc.
In the change log for 4.8.0.51 there is the item "Merged development branch into trunk" so I presume that the official release is just a bugfix cycle or two away.
