![]() Ho was it dragged out? I asked got an answer from someone that had the knowledge to answer and I walked away. I'm not sure why the discussion was dragged out in the first place, but I appreciate you and Richard for killing even the potential for speculation. I'm out of town on a vacation to celebrate my wife's birthday (which is why I'm not responding more) but just wanted to step in and say that keeping Daz Studio free is definitely the plan. This may make me break my moratorium on subscription software and go with Octane4. that's more my thinking, just won't be able to do GPU rendering in Iray. Not about to go back to glacial render times again. There may come a point where some function in DS proper will be upgraded and no longer be supported by W7 - like the upgrade to support canvases and the exr image format reduced XP to not supporting several image formats. True, at some point early in the DS5 release schedule it will include an Iray that no longer supports GPU rendering on W7 because the required drivers aren't available, but 3DL and Iray CPU will both still work. I don't expect Daz to explicitly drop W7 support. nVidia may decide that's a stipulation of a newer version of the engine. I'd put money on DS5 not supporting W7 specifically because of the iRay driver issue. ![]() Likely any new version of Iray introduced afterwards will no longer be compatible so it would be back to glacial CPU rendering. ![]() It would mean having to stay with an older version of Daz that has an older version of Iray particularly as the final general release of 5 will be after Nvidia dumps driver support for W7. however the driver situation is still an issue. ![]()
