Below is a “sanitized” version of the Daz Studio change log leading to the General Release of version 4.9.3.166. This log is posted as part of a conscious effort to be more transparent in the development process. That being said, not all information relating to a particular build is present on this page - some information is still considered private and is therefore not included.

• Added support for hiding vendor categorization of re-categorized assets in the Product page of the Smart Content pane; when a user removes an asset in an installed product from a category that a vendor has assigned the asset to, the vendor categorization is not actually removed but marked hidden and does not contribute to the category tree in the database driven product views
• Added support for hiding vendor categorization of re-categorized assets in the Files page of the Smart Content pane (and the various Presets pages of property based panes); when a user removes an asset from a category that a vendor has assigned the asset to, the vendor categorization is not actually removed but marked hidden and does not contribute to the category tree in the database driven asset views
• Added support for hiding vendor categorization of re-categorized assets in associated asset views of the Smart Content pane (and the various Presets pages of property based panes); when a user removes an asset from a category that a vendor has assigned the asset to, the vendor categorization is not actually removed but marked hidden and does not contribute to the category tree in the database driven Add-On and Target asset views

• Support for remote rendering via NVIDIA Iray has been updated to include the “batch” render mode for individual frames; support for animations requires more extensive/risky changes and is therefore not currently provided
• Relabeled the “Cloud [BETA]” page, found on the Advanced page of the Render Settings pane when NVIDIA Iray is set as the active render engine, to “Bridge [BETA]”; this is consistent with the name now used by NVIDIA to refer to the feature
• Added a “Connection” option to the “Bridge [BETA]” page for NVIDIA Iray > Advanced; allows a user to choose between “Iray Server” (default) and “Visual Computing Appliance (VCA)”
• Added a “Port” option to the “Bridge [BETA]” page for NVIDIA Iray > Advanced that is displayed when Connection is set to Iray Server; allows the user to set which port on the server to communicate through
• Encapsulated options on the “Bridge [BETA]” page for NVIDIA Iray > Advanced that relate to the “streaming” remote rendering mode in a “Streaming” group box
• Added an “Add to Queue[…] button to the “Bridge [BETA]” page for NVIDIA Iray > Advanced; clicking the button will prompt for a Job Name if the Image Name property, found in the General > Destination property group on the Editor page of the Render Settings pane, is empty; clicking the button will use the specified configuration/authentication data to connect, upload the current frame of the scene and then disconnect
• Extended DzIrayRenderer scripting API; added exportRenderToBridgeQueue()
• Made changes to avoid [re]loading images for Iray Bridge renders once animations are supported
• Made changes to naming of Iray Bridge snap shots; now uses jobName % '-' % frameNumber % '-' % uniqueName
