Change Log

Below is a “sanitized” version of the Daz Studio v4.x change log. This information is posted as part of a conscious effort to be more transparent in the development process. Not all information relating to a particular build is presented on this page - some information is still considered private and is therefore not included.

General Release Channel

This is the channel where the “production ready” build is distributed to the general public.

Public Build Channel

This is the channel where the builds that are not considered “production ready” yet are provided for testing by the general public. This channel typically provides a build that is in the BETA phase of development, but technically can provide a build in the ALPHA phase.

Public Beta (4.24.0.4)

Fixed a regression in the script that backs the “Create Poser Companion Files…” action
- Resulted from a change in 4.23.1.42 where display of the application was switched to use title case
Extended DzApp public API; added Mac_26_0 enumerated value
Updated public API documentation; DzApp
Removed the 3Delight renderer plugin, the Scripted 3Delight renderer plugin, and all supporting 3Delight utilities from the standard distribution footprint - per license expiration EoY 2025

DAZ Studio : Incremented build number to 4.24.0.4

Private Build Channel

This channel is similar to the Public Build channel, except that it is limited to a select group of individuals that serve as the “front line” or the “canary in a coal mine” for a time before the build is promoted to a less restricted channel. This channel is more likely to see an ALPHA build than the Public Build channel is.

Fixed an issue where “Ready to Render” scenes were not “Ready to Render” because they did not clear the scene before loading their own contents
- Fixed an issue with Merge vs. Open
  - Files that have their content type set as “Scene” (by default, those saved as a Scene) will now clear the current scene when double clicking on them in the Content Library and the Smart Content panes
  - The behavior of a drag-n-drop operation from these panes into the viewport remains the same (Merge, by default) as does context menu options for either pane and using the Open… or Merge… actions from menus/toolbars
  - Scenes that are saved as a Scene Subset (which can include all assets in that scene) are assigned the “Set” content type, and will exhibit the Merge behavior by default instead of the Open behavior
The labels of the “Open” and “Merge” options in the context menu for a file asset in the Content Library pane have been updated to clarify their purpose
- “Open As New” and “Merge Into Scene” respectively
The “Load it” option in the context menu for a file asset in the Smart Content pane has been split into separate “Open As New” and “Merge Into Scene” options and correspond to the same labeled options in the Content Library pane

The On New file name is now passed to the content manager rather than directly trying to load as a .daz scene file - has been modified to allow all native files to be used rather than just deprecated .daz files
Fixed an issue where the Cr2 exporter was not creating a parameter for each axis of each joint - related to animated origin updates
When exporting a weight mapped figure to cr2, a joint is now created if the parameter has weight in the current map or the source and target are the same and the vertex map is empty - related to animated origin updates

Added support for growing Strand-Based Hair on Geometry Shell; hair must be after shell in scene list to reload correctly
Each active target surface of a strand-based hair now results in a separate surface/material when the Strand-Based Hair Editor is accepted; these surfaces are in addition to the Strand-Based Hair surface; these surfaces provide individual surface/material access to the configuration of the hair for non-RSL-based rendering pipelines (e.g., OpenGL, NVIDIA Iray); RSL-based rendering pipelines use the singular Strand-Based Hair surface/material settings
Accepting the Strand-Based Hair Editor now causes surfaces of the created/modified node that correlate to the target object to automatically use the Iray Blended Dual Lobe Hair Shader if the preset that applies it is installed
The Select Curves by Tip, Select Curve Points, Comb Curves, and Surface Attract Curves tools in the Style workspace of the Strand-Based Hair Editor now provide an Offset option; all four controls are linked; defaults to original value (0.1); the value is saved to and read from the hair system; in the case of the Select Curves by Tip, Select Curve Points, and Comb Curves tools, this option is dependent on the corresponding Surface Intersection Check option being active; this option provides the ability to set the offset distance from the target surface to use for collision; if set too high, style curves being manipulated will begin to crumple/frizz
Fixed an issue with image sampling and negative UV resolution
Strand-based hair now uses the same bilinear sampling for texture set maps as dForce hair
Interaction with Curve Selection Sets in the Style workspace of the Strand-Based Hair Editor has been significantly changed; instead of a simple single-selection list, the view now allows each set to be added to or removed from the current selection and also allows multiple (via extended-selection) sets to be applied at the same time; renaming of a Curve Selection Set is now accessed via double-click; the Rename and Deselect buttons below the list have been removed
The Texture Sets list in the Paint workspace of the Strand-Based Hair Editor now displays icons for a given set that indicates its type; i.e., Gray or Color
Auxiliary Texture Set dialogs initiated from the Strand-Based Hair Editor now display icons that indicate/reinforce type where applicable

Fixed a sorting after rename issue with the Curve Selection Sets list on the style workspace of the Strand-Based Hair Editor
Fixed inconsistently applied random number generation between dForce hair and strand-based hair; results for random length, random angle, and frizz will all be slightly altered in previously saved scenes, but will now be consistent between hair types
Fixed an issue with the population of Texture Set selectors in the Strand-Based Hair Editor; too many separators being inserted - should only be one separator between <No Map> and the defined texture sets
Fixed #DS-1837: Issue with auto-parting angle map being incorrect when interpolating dForce hair
Added a Type column to the Texture Sets list in the Paint workspace of the Strand-Based Hair Editor; sorting occurs on the name column

Changed the labels of the Global Settings for Background color in the Strand-Based Hair Editor from “Base” and “Tip” to “Top” and “Bottom” respectively
Holding the “restore” key sequence for color widgets when clicking a color control associated with a hairstyle in the Strand-Based Hair Editor will now restore its value to the value it had when the dialog was launched; i.e., Base Color and Tip Color in the Distribute workspace
Holding the “restore” key sequence for color widgets when clicking a color control associated with the Strand-Based Editor itself will now restore its value to the default; i.e., (brush) Color in the Paint workspace; Background Top and Bottom color in Global Settings
Fixed “What This?” descriptions for Global Settings > Background Top/Bottom colors
Fixed an issue that caused a crash when creating a new Strand-Based Hair from scratch and a target surface (the first) was activated
Fixed an inconsistency across the Preview group(s) of Workspace Settings in the Strand-Based Hair Editor; changed the label/polarity/default for “Use Preview Color” to “Show Hair Color”

DAZ Studio : Incremented build number to 4.12.0.45

Fixed a crash in the IK system caused by choosing None as the Chain Root or Chain End
Placed Timeline pane node selection updates behind an event; addresses an issue that caused expensive key caching/drawing updates to occur too frequently (e.g., for each node when selecting/deselecting many/all nodes vs as the event loop naturally allows) and ultimately resulted in degraded performance
IK solve is now applied during animation (as opposed to only during tool manipulation) based on the value of Reach Translation on an IK node; a value of 0 does not apply; a value of 1 fully applies
Fixed an issue with loading (and then attempting to re-save) scenes that were saved with IK pins active prior to 4.12.x; IK pins were erroneously being saved (incompletely) in prior builds, causing recently added intentional support for temporary/transient IK Chain saving/loading to be improperly defined and therefore crash during subsequent attempts to save
Scenes saved with IK pins active prior to 4.12.x now (implicitly) have their IK pins restored on load

Tweaks to validation behaviors of the “Rename Node…” action dialog

DAZ Studio : Incremented build number to 4.12.0.81

Source maintenance
Fixed an issue where an IK target/goal node for a given IK chain that is parented and pinned to a node higher in the node hierarchy than its Chain Root, but still within the hierarchy that ascends to the context node (root), would erroneously translate when rotating a node between said higher node and the Chain Root
Fixed erratic behavior (“popping”) stemming from error during solve of IK in systems where an IK target/goal node is dragged past full extension of the explicit chain
Fixed an issue in sub-path validator that erroneously allowed a backslash character (“\”) to be entered; backslash characters have special meaning when placed adjacent to other certain characters,; backslash characters are not cross-platform compatible in paths; a backslash character should be automatically replaced with a slash character (”/“) where a sub-path validator is used
Auto-scrolling to an item representing the primary selected node in the Timeline pane dopesheet now centers the item instead of just causing it to be visible within the top/bottom edge of the view
Switched handling of ensuring item visibility in the dopesheet to be event based instead of timer based
Handle a case in the “Rename Node…” action dialog when the generated label for a node is empty because an intermediate, but illegal in certain positions, character was the only character entered (e.g., a period)

DAZ Studio : Incremented build number to 4.12.0.82

Source maintenance
Updated validation used in various fields of the Face Transfer save dialog
Fixed an issue when initializing the “Asset Directory” value for the Morph Asset save options dialog that would cause an invalid value to be set if the selected object was installed via Daz Connect; new assets should not be saved to Daz Connect data directories

Fixed an issue with sub-path validation that prevented the user from being able to type words (more specifically, consecutive space characters) mid string if the text cursor was positioned on the left side of an existing space character (if the text cursor was position on the right side, it behaved as expected) and the validator was configured to prevent consecutive space characters
Fixed an issue in the Highway and Main Street styles where the contrast of the value for properties in a property view that are not at their default values was not significant enough to be distinguished from the item background when selected/mouseover

Added support for using the [Ctrl] keyboard modifier while dragging a selection of keys in the Timeline pane Dopesheet to relax frame snapping constraints
Key frame snapping in the Timeline pane Dopesheet is now based on the context key (the key under the cursor when the press occurred)
- Maintains sub-frame relative time differences between selected keys
Fixed an issue in the Timeline pane Dopesheet where selecting a key in the Key Graph and then moving it in the Dopesheet would sometimes (depending if and what key were selected in the Dopesheet in prior operations) prevent moving the selected keys earlier in time
Click and drag on an unselected key in the Timeline pane Dopesheet now causes the key to become selected and begin moving in a single operation
- This is now consistent with the Key Graph

DAZ Studio : Incremented build number to 4.12.1.11

Made styling adjustments to the Timeline pane
- Adjusted the left offset of the keys column to use the styled size of the playhead
Added cursor feedback to the Timeline pane Dopesheet header; keys column
Fixed painting issues in the Timeline pane Dopesheet header
- Clicking at a point to the right of the playhead would not cause the elapsed track (left of the playhead) to update until a mouse move event occurred
Fixed issues with cursor feedback for when a column in the Timeline pane Dopesheet could be resized
- Cursor feedback would incorrectly suggest that a user could resize the name/keys columns when the cursor was placed on the left side of the division between the column headers
- Cursor feedback would incorrectly suggest that a user could resize the the name column from its left side
- Now when the resize cursor is displayed, the user can click+drag and the columns will resize as expected

DAZ Studio : Incremented build number to 4.12.1.12

Source maintenance
Fixed an issue in the Timeline pane where changing the current time via clicking within the Dopesheet keys column header, or double-clicking within the keys column, or dragging the playhead in the Key Graph, would not cause the Dopesheet keys column header to re-paint until the cursor was moved within said header

Implemented the heuristic IK solve algorithm used for figure node hierarchies, for non-figure node hierarchies
- Helps smooth and stabilize solves of non-figure node hierarchies
Split the Timeline pane “Advanced View” toggle action into 3 distinct view mode actions
- Basic View, Intermediate View, Advanced View
- Basic View is equivalent to Advanced View being unchecked in builds prior to 4.12
- Intermediate View is equivalent to Advanced View being checked in builds prior to 4.12
- Advanced View is the more full featured view introduced with 4.12
Updated default menus; recommend clicking Window > Workspace > Update and Merge Menus action

DAZ Studio : Incremented build number to 4.12.1.15

Source maintenance
Removed semi-colons separating file extensions in file browser multi-extension filters
- The presence of semi-colons within a single filter was causing macOS 10.15 (Catalina) to display files with all but the last file extension (the one NOT followed by a semi-colon) as “dimmed” (unavailable/unselectable)

- The token/arg immediately following the option is used as the name of the release cycle (and optionally the instance) to copy application settings from
- The token/arg must be quoted if it contains a space character
- The token/arg must match the suffix of the application settings group name for an instance that has been launched at least once (i.e., releaseCycle[instanceName]) - return value of DzApp::releaseCycleSuffixStripped() or DzApp::releaseCycleInstanceSuffixStripped())
- All spaces in the token/arg are automatically stripped in order to match the pattern used in the application settings group name
- A single ~ (tilde) character is interpreted as the root instance of the General Release
- A single . (period) character is interpreted as the root instance of the 'current' release cycle
- A non-existent instance name or a single unsupported character effectively disables the option (as a match will not be found)
- All pertinent application settings are copied
Added support for a -copySessionUI command-line option
- The token/arg immediately following the option is used as the name of the release cycle (and optionally the instance) to copy the session UI files from
- The token/arg must be quoted if it contains a space character (any besides the General Release will)

- A single . (period) character is interpreted as the root instance of the 'current' release cycle
- A non-existent instance name or a single unsupported character effectively disables the option (as a match will not be found)
- All session UI files are copied
Launching a named instance of a given release cycle (using the -instanceName command-line option) now automatically copies the application settings for the root instance of that release cycle on first launch unless the -copyAppSettings command-line option is also specified
Launching a named instance of a given release cycle (using the -instanceName command-line option) now automatically copies the session UI for the root instance of that release cycle on first launch unless the -copySessionUI command-line option is also specified

The main window now respects up to 4 (GNU Emacs style) key sequences assigned as action shortcuts
- Key sequences consist of successive key codes entered within an allotted amount of time - where time is based on the maximum number of key codes in all sequences that start with the first in the sequence
- Widgets that implement their own (common) shortcuts (e.g., line-edits, text-edits, etc) can cause interference if the cursor is positioned over them when the shortcut is entered - this is not a new behavior, but it can become more apparent as more sequences that include overlapping key codes are used

Performance of Node Transform Constraints has been optimized based on which components are enabled
Implemented an alternate (quaternion based) rotation blending on Node Transform Constraints
- An improvement, but still suffers a flip >= ~180 deg
Scale components of Node Transform Constraints are now “Off” by default
Node Transform Constraints now support X|Y|Z Scale toggling
- Enabling scale components does not yet produce the intended result
Implemented saving of Node Transform Constraints
- Saving of animations for DzNodeProperty instances (i.e. target nodes) needs attention (in general, not specific to constraint targets), and its presence in the file will currently cause restoration of target nodes to be incorrect
- Stripping animation data for DzNodeProperty instances allows target nodes to be restored
Implemented loading of Node Transform Constraints
- Loading of animations for DzNodeProperty instances (i.e. target nodes) needs attention (in general, not specific to constraint targets), and its presence in the file will currently cause restoration of target nodes to be incorrect
- Stripping animation data for DzNodeProperty instances allows target nodes to be restored

Added the Physically-Based Rendering (PBR) DrawStyle plugin, and supporting libraries/resources, to the public Win64 footprint
- Mac64 is still limited to the internal footprint
- Implements Google Filament as a DrawStyle
- Implementation is designed to translate properties of the “!Iray Uber Base” (Default Resources) and “Iray Blended Dual Lobe Hair” (dForce Starter Essentials) shaders as faithfully as possible

Fixed an issue where attempting to transform a node after deleting its Node Transform Constraint would cause a crash
Fixed an issue where the relative position of nodes involved in a Node Transform Constraint, in conjunction with the direction of the constraint relationship, would cause the offset of the constrained node to be incorrect
Improved performance of Node Transform Constraints
Post-install package finalization now includes setting an application setting used by external applications/plugins (e.g., bridges) to locate the installed path of this application
Updated pre-install script handling of cross-sku package conflicts for Photoshop 3D Bridge
- Only one channel package should be installed via Install Manager at any given time

Fixed an issue where default focus for the Render Window was always being awarded to the What's This? (inline help) button
- Focus behavior has been modified such that when a destination path/filename has been defined in the Render Settings pane, focus is awarded to the Save button as it becomes enabled
- If either the destination path or filename has not been pre-defined, focus is awarded to the corresponding field/button
Finishing an edit of the filename for a render in the Render Window (i.e., pressing the [Enter] or [Return] key) is now interpreted as though the Save button was clicked (if enabled)
Fixed an issue where attempting to save a render over an existing file would prompt the user for whether or not to overwrite the existing file multiple times if the question was answered “No”
- Answering “No” now also re-raises, and makes active, the Render Window
The Render Window is now raised and made active when the window is not active and a render is finished or canceled
The “File Already Exists” message has refactored to include additional detail
Modified DzProductAssetContainer public API; deprecated getRealtiveInstallPath()
Extended DzProductAssetContainer public API; added getRelativeInstallPath()
Extended DzAssetMgr public API; added getProductName()
Extended SDK API; added DzNonEmptyComboEditDlgValidator
Updated SDK version to 4.12.1.100; SDK min is 4.5.0.100

The “Create a Product from…” dialog has been refactored
- It is now a standard basic dialog
- It now uses a validator to prevent invalid characters from being entered
The “Create a Product from…” actions (underlying functions) now check for and prevent an empty product name
The “Create a Product” dialog is now initially focused on the name field upon display

Fixed an issue with the “Choose Value” Shader Mixer brick failing to function correctly for any type other than an integer (singular)
- Implemented a temporary workaround for an issue in the Iray 2020 SDK API
- Workaround supports the color, string, bool, bool2, bool3, bool4, int, int2, int3, int4, float, float2, float3, float4, double, double2, double3, double4, float2x2, float2x3, float2x4, float3x2, float3x3, float3x4, float4x2, float4x3, float4x4, double2x2, double2x3, double2x4, double3x2, double3x3, double3x4, double4x2, double4x3, double4x4, and material types
- Workaround does NOT support the user-defined struct, enum, texture_2d, texture_3d, texture_cube, texture_ptex, light_profile, BSDF, EDF, or VDF types
Added warnings messages to the “Choose Value” Shader Mixer brick for unsupported types

DAZ Studio : Incremented build number to 4.12.1.105

Source maintenance
Refactored code that deals with the generation of certain Shader Mixer bricks
- Changes processing of MDL function signatures to address issues (generic types as parameters, in particular) stemming from the integration of NVIDIA Iray RTX 2020 and its switch to MDL 1.6
- As a result of this refactoring, the “Choose Value” Shader Mixer brick now handles all known/supported types and therefore nullifies/resolves the workaround implemented in 4.12.1.105

DAZ Studio : Incremented build number to 4.12.1.106

Source maintenance
Automated Shader Mixer brick generation for MDL functions that have generic parameters (i.e., “<0>”) is now skipped
- These kinds of functions must now be manually wrapped/exposed
- As a result, the recently added (4.12.1.79) DzMdlArray and DzMdloperatorLen bricks have (temporarily?) been removed
A Node Transform Constraint now provides the ability to choose the space in which rotations occur (local vs target)
A Node Transform Constraint now has the ability to record/adjust its positional offset from a given target node
Fixed an issue with doubling of scale values in Node Transform Constraints
Extended Node Transform Constraint scripting APIs

DAZ Studio : Incremented build number to 4.12.1.107

Source maintenance
Fixed issues with rotation and scale calculations in Node Transform Constraints
Fixed issues with parent transform compensation in Node Transform Constraints
Changed Node Transform Constraint controllers to be of the replace type rather than the add type
- This has the effect of strictly enforcing the constraint and increases the responsibility/importance of target offset properties
Fixed an issue where loading a Node Transform Constraint from a saved file would cause a doubling effect
Node Transform Constraints now use “Constraint Context” (instead of “Rotation Space”) in UI/API to refer to the context in which the constraint operates
- “Local” operates such that rotation of the constrained node occurs about its own origin
- “Target” operates such that the constrained node's position orbits the origin of the target node(s) in a parent/child-like relationship, but does not itself rotate
Renamed Node Transform Constraint properties for consistency
- Improves filtering possibilities
A Node Transform Constraint now has the ability to record/adjust its rotational offset from a given target node
Node Transform Constraints now support General Scale toggling
Node Transform Constraints offset properties are now styled like transform properties
Adjusted sensitivity of Node Transform Constraints offset properties to be consistent with node transform properties
Modified Node Transform Constraint scripting APIs; renamed member functions
Extended Node Transform Constraint scripting APIs; added member functions
Extended DzNode public API
Modified DzDistantLight SDK API; deprecated updateIsLightPortalVisiblity()
Extended DzDistantLight SDK API; added updateIsLightPortalVisibility()

DAZ Studio : Incremented build number to 4.12.1.108

Source maintenance
Fixed an issue with photometric point lights rendered with NVIDIA Iray, where the combination of “Two Sided” enabled and “Light Geometry” set to “Point” would cause the light to contribute no light to the rendered scene
Extended DzDistantLight SDK API; added updateTwoSidedVisibility()
Updated SDK version to 4.12.1.109; SDK min is 4.5.0.100
The “Two Sided” property on a light where “Photometric Mode” is enabled is now dynamically shown/hidden based on whether or not “Light Geometry” is set to a value where “Two Sided” has meaning
- e.g. “Two Sided” has no meaning for “Point”, so the “Two Sided” property is hidden when “Light Geometry” is set to “Point”
Moved the Physically-Based Rendering (PBR) DrawStyle plugin, and supporting libraries/resources, back to the internal Win64 footprint
- Not ready for general public consumption yet

Improved reporting of NVIDIA Iray render progress information
When (NVIDIA Iray) > Progressive Rendering > Completion > Post Prediction > Post SSIM Available and Post SSIM Enable are enabled, render progress is now dynamically calculated based on SSIM prediction data
When (NVIDIA Iray) > Progressive Rendering > Completion > Post Prediction > Post SSIM Available and Post SSIM Enable are enabled, the active rendering process will now automatically terminate when the Post SSIM Target (convergence) value is met
(NVIDIA Iray) > Progressive Rendering > Completion > Post Prediction > Post SSIM Enable and Post SSIM Target now behave as expected (and have the expected impact on progress reporting) when edited in the Render Window editor
Renamed the (NVIDIA Iray) > Progressive Rendering > Completion > Post Prediction > “Post SSIM Target” property to “Post SSIM Predict Target” in order to more closely match the Iray SDK
Fixed an issue with the value of (NVIDIA Iray) > Progressive Rendering > Completion > Post Prediction > Post SSIM Predict Target not being respected
Fixed an issue where changing the name of a canvas using the Render Settings (NVIDIA Iray) > Advanced page would not update the name of the canvas in the Canvases > Active Canvas property on the Render Settings (NVIDIA Iray) > Editor page

DAZ Studio : Incremented build number to 4.12.1.113

Work around an issue resulting from the integration of NVIDIA Iray RTX 2020, where attenuating a color and adjusting its alpha value is not being respected when rendered
- Manifests as the “Grayscale From:” option in the Image Editor producing a different result than previous versions of Iray when set to the “Alpha” value
- Manifests as the “Invert” option in the Image Editor producing a different result than previous versions of Iray when set to the “On” value
- This workaround is intended to be temporary - until the issue can be addressed in Iray proper

DAZ Studio : Incremented build number to 4.12.1.114

Source maintenance
Applied the alpha adjustment workaround in the previous build to the “Texture Instance” Shader Mixer brick (DzTextureInstanceBrick)
- Has a potential ripple effect due to extensive use - warrants extensive testing

Updated SDK version to 4.12.1.116; SDK min is 4.5.0.100
Fixed an issue that could cause an errant PostgreSQL connection message to be displayed during startup
- The “A valid PostgreSQL CMS connection could not be established…” message would be displayed, but database driven content views would become populated without further interaction by the user
Fixed an issue where colors in Render Settings (NVIDIA Iray) > Environment group (e.g., Matte Fog Visibility Tint, Matte Fog Brightness Tint) were being sent to the renderer with their respective green and blue component values transposed

Fixed an issue that allowed a disabled action to be triggered using its shortcut
- e.g., WASD keyboard navigation actions would still trigger when their respective assigned shortcuts were pressed even though the Keyboard Navigation action was toggled off and the individual actions were disabled
Fixed an issue where actions bound to keyboard shortcuts with a sequence count of 1 were waiting as though there was a potential subsequent shortcut in the sequence instead of immediately triggering the action
- e.g., WASD keyboard navigation actions seemed to suffer a delay even though no actions were bound to multiple shortcut sequences
Added a guard against multiple events for a single keyboard shortcut causing validation (and ultimately the triggering of an associated action) multiple times
- e.g., guard against actions (render, save, etc) being triggered more than once for a single shortcut
Made adjustments to event filtering
Patched Qt 4.8.7 SSL/TLS support

Fixed an issue where the aniMate 2/Lite pane was modifying the playrange of the scene even when the pane was not visible (i.e. not the top-most pane in a visible pane group) or in use
- This behavior only exhibited once the pane had been shown in the UI and then persisted for the remainder of the session
- If the pane was not present in the layout on launch (e.g., it was closed prior to closing the application and so was not present when next launched), the behavior was not exhibited until shown (per above)

DAZ Studio : Incremented build number to 4.12.2.49

Source maintenance
Loading of nodes is now undo-able
- All assets created/modified in the course of loading an asset file are treated as a single undo operation
- Opening (as opposed to merging) a scene file automatically clears the current contents of the scene and purges the undo stack - in this case, the loading of new assets into the scene can be undone, but the clearing of the current scene contents prior to the load cannot, so the undo operation will yield an empty scene and not the previous scene contents
Property aliases are now set as user properties by default
Fixed issues with some undo items
Undo items are no longer created when non-user properties are added to elements - non-user properties are expected to be managed by the developer
Viewport redraws are now blocked during undo operations
Fixed a potential memory leak in the Property Hierarchy pane when a property alias is [drag-n-] dropped onto the view
Updated SDK version to 4.12.2.50; SDK min is 4.5.0.100
- Marks a behavioral change (as described above) rather than an API change
Fixed issues with singleton nodes during scene load undo/redo
The labels of singleton nodes are no longer changed if they collide with an existing singleton of the same type in the scene
Update to NVIDIA Iray 2020.1.1 (334300.4226)
Updated user-facing references to Iray Interactive to indicate that it is a biased render mode
- This is to coincide with unhiding the Shadow Type property on lights and moving shadow related properties on lights to the Light > Shadow > Biased Render group
The Shadow Type property on lights is no longer dynamically hidden based on the active render engine
- The property has meaning for the Filament (PBR) DrawStyle, which may also be active even though the selected render engine does not support enabling/disabling shadows in its current mode
Moved shadow related properties on lights to the Light > Shadow > Biased Render group
Made DzApp::statusLine() callable outside of the GUI thread
The “Filament (PBR)” DrawStyle is now the default for new users (Windows)
- Applies to the City Limits Lite layout (the default)
- DzUserDrawStyle enabled state is respected when restoring viewport settings from the layout
The “Filament (PBR)” DrawStyle now inherits from the “Textured Shaded” DrawStyle instead of the “Smooth Shaded” DrawStyle
- “Texture Shaded” is now used as a fallback when the “Filament (PBR)” style is missing or disabled
  - e.g., 32-bit, Mac, OpenGL < 4.1
Non-exported MDL materials/functions are now excluded from generated Shader Mixer brick definitions
- This removes bricks that were being generated but could not actually be instanced with the API, and therefore would not actually produce the assumed/expected result
- Removes non-functional bricks: DzMdlBaseWorleyNoiseInput3, DzMdlBaseWorleyNoiseInput6, DzMdlBaseTiledata, DzMdlBaseTiledataGetColorResult, DzMdlBaseTiledataGetIsInTile, DzMdlBaseApplyNoiseModifications, DzMdlBaseArchColortweak, DzMdlBaseArchSkyvectortweak, DzMdlBaseArchVectortweak, DzMdlBaseBlendColors, DzMdlBaseCalcEnvColorInput2, DzMdlBaseCalcEnvColorInput3, DzMdlBaseCalcIrrad, DzMdlBaseCalcPhysicalScale, DzMdlBaseCalcSunColor, DzMdlBaseCalcSunDiskColor, DzMdlBaseComputeAirMass, DzMdlBaseComputeCubicTransform, DzMdlBaseComputeCylindricTransform, DzMdlBaseComputeDiffuseIlluminance, DzMdlBaseComputeDirectIlluminance, DzMdlBaseComputeEccentricity, DzMdlBaseComputePerezAllWeather, DzMdlBaseComputePerezBrightness, DzMdlBaseComputePerezClearness, DzMdlBaseComputePerezCoefficientsPreetham, DzMdlBaseComputePerezParams, DzMdlBaseComputeSphericProjection, DzMdlBaseComputeSphericTransform, DzMdlBaseComputeTangentsInput2, DzMdlBaseComputeTangentsInput1, DzMdlBaseComputeUnscaledSunIlluminance, DzMdlBaseEvalChecker, DzMdlBaseEvalPerez, DzMdlBaseEvalTileFunction, DzMdlBaseFade, DzMdlBaseFlowNoise, DzMdlBaseGetClearnessCategory, DzMdlBaseGrad128Input2, DzMdlBaseGrad128Input3, DzMdlBaseGrad128Input5, DzMdlBaseGradFlow2, DzMdlBaseGradientGetColor, DzMdlBaseGradientGetPosition, DzMdlBaseGradientInterpolate, DzMdlBaseHsvToRgb, DzMdlBaseHue, DzMdlBaseInterpolateTexspaceL, DzMdlBaseLengthChebyshevInput1, DzMdlBaseLengthChebyshevInput2, DzMdlBaseLengthManhattanInput1, DzMdlBaseLengthManhattanInput2, DzMdlBaseMiLibSquareToDisk, DzMdlBaseMiNoise, DzMdlBaseMiReflectionDirDiffuseX, DzMdlBaseNightBrightnessAdjustment, DzMdlBaseNoiseReturn, DzMdlBaseNoiseReturnGetGrad, DzMdlBaseNoiseReturnGetVal, DzMdlBasePerezCoefficientsGetC, DzMdlBasePerezDataGetAbcde, DzMdlBasePerezDataGetPerezLumScale, DzMdlBasePerezDataGetSkyIlluminanceRgb, DzMdlBasePerezDataGetSunIlluminance, DzMdlBasePerezDataPreethamGetPerezXScale, DzMdlBasePerezDataPreethamGetPerezYScale, DzMdlBasePerezDataPreethamGetX, DzMdlBasePerezDataPreethamGetY, DzMdlBasePerezSunAndSkyDataGetClampedSunDir, DzMdlBasePerezSunAndSkyDataGetFactor, DzMdlBasePerezSunAndSkyDataGetGroundLuminance, DzMdlBasePerezSunAndSkyDataGetPerezDataLum, DzMdlBasePerezSunAndSkyDataGetPerezDataXy, DzMdlBasePerezSunAndSkyDataGetSunColor, DzMdlBasePerezSunAndSkyDataGetSunDiskIntensityScale, DzMdlBasePerezSunAndSkyDataGetTurbidity, DzMdlBasePerezSunAndSkyInit, DzMdlBasePerlinNoise, DzMdlBasePermuteFlow2, DzMdlBaseRidge, DzMdlBaseSaturation, DzMdlBaseSellmeierCoefficientLambda, DzMdlBaseSkyColorXyz, DzMdlBaseSkyLuminance, DzMdlBaseSqrCbrtf, DzMdlBaseSqrlength, DzMdlBaseSummedFlowNoise2, DzMdlBaseSummedPerlinNoise, DzMdlBaseTexelAlpha, DzMdlBaseTexelAverage, DzMdlBaseTexelLookup, DzMdlBaseTexelLuminance, DzMdlBaseTexelMaximum, DzMdlBaseTexremapuInput4, DzMdlBaseTexremapuInput5, DzMdlBaseTweakSaturation, DzMdlBaseWorleyNoiseInput4, DzMdlBaseWorleyNoiseInput7, DzMdlBaseWorleyReturnGetNearestPos0, DzMdlBaseWorleyReturnGetNearestPos1, DzMdlBaseWorleyReturnGetVal, DzMdlBaseXyz2dir

Made updates to dynamic showing/hiding of Render Settings (NVIDIA Iray) > Progressive Rendering properties to better reflect applicable usage; Photoreal vs Interactive mode needs an additional pass
Added a Render Settings (NVIDIA Iray) > Progressive Rendering > Completion > “Rendering Quality SSIM” property
- Toggles whether or not to use Progressive Rendering > Completion > Post Prediction > “Post SSIM Predict Target” as a stop condition
- Requires Progressive Rendering > Completion > “Rendering Quality Enable”, Progressive Rendering > Completion > Post Prediction > “Post SSIM Available” and Progressive Rendering > Completion > Post Prediction > “Post SSIM Enable” to be enabled in order to be displayed and have meaning
- When enabled, Progressive Rendering > Completion > “Rendering Quality” and Progressive Rendering > Completion > “Rendering Converged Ratio” have no meaning in Photoreal mode and are therefore hidden
Added support for Post SSIM and Post Denoiser to Iray Interactive (Biased) mode
- Moved Progressive Rendering > Completion > Post Prediction : “Post SSIM Available”, “Post SSIM Enable”, “Post SSIM Predict Target”, and “Post SSIM Max Memory” properties from the Photoreal element to its element parent
- Moved Filtering > Post Denoiser : “Post Denoiser Available”, “Post Denoiser Enable”, “Post Denoiser Start Iteration”, “Post Denoiser Max Memory”, and “Post Denoiser Denoise Alpha” properties from the Photoreal element to its element parent

- This causes the assigned value to be selectable/copyable as text
Extracted “Auto-Fit Base” from the “Compatibility Base” option in the “Scene Identification” dialog
- “Compatibility Base” is used to view/establish the relationship between an object in the scene and assets in context aware views - managed via metadata
- “Auto-Fit Base” is used to control the behavior of Auto-Fit - embedded in the asset
- Selecting a “Compatibility Base” when “Auto-Fit Base” is not set (i.e., “<None>”) will cause “Auto-Fit Base” to be set in kind

Added support to PowerPose for defining a 'default' Template per Template Set
- Earlier versions only allowed for a global 'default' Template (i.e., 'Body')
Added a “Default” (Template) option to the “PowerPose Template Set Save” dialog
- Option values are populated by the current list of Templates in the current Template Set
- An empty entry is provided in the option values, and allows for falling back to the global default
Selecting a figure will now cause PowerPose to automatically display the 'default' Template of a Template Set (if one is defined), if:
- No other figure was selected, and the Template Set for the selected figure does not contain a Template labeled identically to the global default (i.e., 'Body')
- Another figure was selected, and the Template Set for the newly selected figure does not contain a Template that is labeled identically to the current Template of the previously selected figure, and the Template Set for the newly selected figure does not contain a Template labeled identically to the global default (i.e., 'Body')
Extended DzPowerPosePane scripting API; extended saveTemplateSet()

Extended Shader Mixer public API
- Added DzMdlIrayUberAddInhomogeneousVolume (Uber Add Inhomogeneous Volume)
- DzTexture3DInstanceBrick (Texture 3D Instance)
Updated public API documentation; DzElement, DzSimpleElementScriptData, DzElementPostLoadFileData, DzSimpleSceneScriptData, DzScript
Added support for inhomogeneous volumes, both as “Volumetric Textures” and “Volume Objects”, when rendering with NVIDIA Iray
- The origin of the volume (“domain”) is aligned with the origin of the associated node
- Scaling the associated node scales the volume (“domain”) in kind
- A watertight object (“boundary hull”) with an “empty” 3 dimensional texture can be used to cut away parts of a volume object
- OpenVDB datasets (*.vdb) are used as 3 dimensional textures
  - Samples can be found at https://www.openvdb.org/download/
    - Samples named *_points.vdb are not supported
- A “Texture 3D Instance” shader brick, “Lookup Volume Coefficients” shader brick, and “Uber Add Inhomogeneous Volume” shader brick are used to construct a relatively simple Shader Mixer brick network that feeds a “MDL Surface” shader brick to define the shader that describes shading for the volume (“domain”)
  - The “Default Resources” package includes a Shader Preset with said Shader Mixer network prebuilt, ready to be applied
- The “Texture 3D Instance” shader brick provides 3 required user-facing parameters:
  - “Volume File” is used to specify the path of the OpenVDB dataset that supplies the 3 dimensional texture
  - “Volume Channel” is [optionally] used to specify a channel within the OpenVDB dataset
  - “Clip To Geometry” is used to indicate whether or not the volume (“domain”) should be clipped by the geometry of the associated node - i.e., act as a “boundary hull”
    - Default value: true (On)
    - This parameter only has meaning in the context of a surface named “Volume” - for a surface that is not named “Volume”, this parameter has no affect and is always treated as though it is set to “On”
    - When “On”, only the portion of the volume (“domain”) that resides within the geometry of the associated node will be evaluated
    - When “Off”, the entire volume (“domain”) is evaluated regardless of its intersection with the geometry of the associated node - i.e., it is treated as a “Volume Object”
- The “Lookup Volume Coefficients” shader brick provides 6 user-facing parameters to control the color and density of the volume:
  - “Scattering Multiplier” allows the scattering color to be set
    - Default color: Black [0.0, 0.0, 0.0]
  - “Absorption Multiplier” allows the absorption color to be set
    - Default color: Black [0.0, 0.0, 0.0]
  - “Scattering Offset” allows the scattering color to be shifted
    - Default color: Black [0.0, 0.0, 0.0]
  - “Absorption Offset” allows the absorption color to be shifted
    - Default color: Black [0.0, 0.0, 0.0]
  - “Density Multiplier” is used to control the volume's density
    - Default value: 1.0
  - “Density Relative To Size” is used to control whether or not the the optical appearance of the volume is preserved when the associated node is scaled - i.e., whether a reduction in size will cause an increase of the density and vice versa
    - Default value: false (Off)
Fixed an issue with scene lights in Iray (related to NVIDIA Iray SDK changes)

Updated SDK version to 4.16.1.22; SDK min is 4.5.0.100
Added support for DSON 0.7.0.0 URI syntax to DzUri
- Works to restore compliance with RFC 3986
- Currently only supported via direct API calls
  - DSON 0.6.0.0 URI syntax is still used when saving assets (may become an option)
  - DSON 0.6.0.0 URI syntax is still used when reading assets
Setting the URI of a DzUri now sets the file version if the current file version is invalid (not set) or is inconsistent with the URI syntax used
- File version can be discretely set using the applicable DzUri method/property

DAZ Studio : Incremented build number to 4.16.1.22

Source maintenance
Setting the URI of a DzUri now wholesale clears (rather than discretely clearing) current values prior to parsing the value passed in
- Fixes an issue with data corruption
Setting the URI of a DzUri now unescapes DSON 0.7.0.0 URI syntax values
- Fixes an inconsistency in behavior between handing of DSON 0.6.0.0 and DSON 0.7.0.0 URI syntax
Made optimizations to DzUri::setNodePath(), DzUri::setSubPath() and DzUri::setChannelPath()
~~Setting the file path of a DzUri now automatically unescapes the value stored~~
~~Setting the id of a DzUri now automatically unescapes the value stored~~

- compressAll() was not creating directory records in resultant zip files unless the source directories contained no files
- addFileToZip() was not setting the DOS regular file bit for external file attributes
- addDirToZip() was setting the wrong bit for DOS directory in external file attributes
- addDirToZip() was not ensuring that the pathOnDisk parameter referred to a directory, rather than a file

Fixed pathing issues with DzZipFile
- Paths recorded to generated zip files now always use the cross-platform compatible forward slash ('/') path separator, instead of the platform/OS native path separator (e.g., '\\' on Windows)
- locateFile() will now first attempt lookup with forward slashes (regardless of platform/OS), and fallback to the native separators on platforms where the native separator is not a forward slash (e.g., Windows) in order to maintain compatibility with previously generated DzZipFile results
DzZipFile::addFileToZip() now sets the DOS archived file bit (instead of regular file) for external file attributes

Extended DzFileIO SDK API; added fileErrorString(), safeWriteToFile()
Updated SDK version to 4.16.1.45; SDK min is 4.5.0.100
Saving of interface files now employs “safe write”
- Instead of writing directly to the final destination file, data is written to a temporary file, the final destination file is removed, and the temporary file is renamed to the final destination name
- If writing the temporary file fails to complete successfully, the final destination file is left untouched

Updated SDK version to 4.20.0.17; SDK min is 4.5.0.100
All styled property widgets (e.g., those displayed in Parameters, Posing, Shaping, Cameras, Lights, etc panes) now present a tooltip when the cursor is hovered over the header/label, rather than only those where the label is elided
- When the option to display hidden properties in various views/panes are active, this behavior allows the label of those properties to be more readily revealed to content developers whilst continuing to discourage discrete use by end users
- Provides usage hints
If a property provides a presentation with a description, the description is now displayed in the tooltip of styled property widget headers/labels
- A description is only displayed when a given widget represents a single property
A tooltip for DzFloatPropertyWgt and DzIntPropertyWgt now displays the full value (not rounded for float values) of the property they represent
- An example of this can now be seen in Tool Settings for the Joint Editor tool
- Similar in behavior to DzStyledFloatPropertyWgt and DzStyledIntPropertyWgt respectively, as seen in various property view based panes (e.g., Parameters, Posing, Shaping, etc)
