DAZ Studio 5
Finally some info about DAZ Studio 5. I wish this means Genesis 9 is also around the corner, but we'll have to see.

Details of the upcoming Daz Studio 5 early-access Pre-Beta:
- Release timing for this early-access preview is coming soon, at the very end of this month (July) or sometime next month (August). - This will be a pre-beta release. Normally we wait until the software is completely finished before releasing it. - Major Update will be Daz Studio release running for Macs, no other major features in the Pre-Beta. - All Plugins and some scripts will be broken. The SDK won't be available with this first release, but will be following it up at a later date. Some other less used features won't work at launch, but will be coming online throughout the year. - This release will work on at least x86 Macs (with both Filament and Iray). We are still investigating if this initial early-access release will run either natively or through emulation on M1 macs, but M1 support will come during the continued development of Daz Studio 5. - It will install into a new location, so you can run it along your current Daz Studio (release/beta) without problems.
As for the final Daz Studio 5 release:
- The timeline for this is to have it out near the very end of this year. - Features and enhancements will be rolling in through the rest of the year. - Anyone who has Daz Studio 4 in their account will be able to keep it. You'll be able to continue to download and use it for the foreseeable future.
I hope everyone is just as excited about Daz Studio 5 as we are.
