After a little wrangling and bashing I was able to get the DAZ 3D Bridge for Photoshop, posted about yesterday<\/a>, fully running. Including its “Update” and “AutoUpdate” features.<\/p>\n

Required:<\/strong><\/p>\n

1.<\/strong> As per my tutorial yesterday, the latest DAZ Studio 4.20.0.17 64-bit, and its latest DS4_3DBridge_1.13.0.17_Win64.exe<\/em> Bridge. This Bridge then installed to both DAZ 4.20 and to my 64-bit Photoshop 2018. The latter is here superfluous though, as we also need to get another<\/em> and 32-bit Bridge plugin into Photoshop CS6 to get the Bridge fully functional.<\/p>\n

and<\/em><\/p>\n

2.<\/strong> Photoshop CS6 32-bit, with its 32-bit plugin installed from an old DS4_3DBridge_1.6.2.70_Win32.exe<\/em> installer I found on an old backup DVD. Note that install of this requires a DAZ Studio 4 32-bit version to be present (I used an old 4.12.x 32-bit), or else the vital Bridge install will be refused. 32-bit parity between the two is important. You may also want your old DAZ 4.12 Pro serial to activate the 32-bit DAZ, though that is probably not needed. No serial was needed for the Photoshop side of the old 32-bit Bridge. No damage was done to my DAZ Studio 4.20.0.17 64-bit by the install of an old 32-bit version over in C:\\Program Files (x86)<\/em><\/p>\n

It’s possible you don’t even need that old 32-bit Bridge installer, as a there’s also a current 32-bit one still available in your DAZ Product Library. The current is DS4_3DBridge_1.13.0.17_Win32.exe<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Usage:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Then I just load Photoshop CS6 32-bit, load its 32-bit version of the DAZ Bridge, it will then auto-launch my latest DAZ Studio 4.20.x 64-bit. Then, the 32-bit CS6 plugin can happily talk to the latest Bridge script\/camera in the 64-bit latest DAZ Studio. Update and Autoupdate work perfectly. Importing an iRay render into Photoshop also works fine. Use the 3D Bridge camera. I assume it’s all direct script-to-script talk at that point, and thus no .EXE bit-parity is required.<\/p>\n

So… the problem appears to have been that everyone had moved on to 64-bit Photoshop, partly breaking the Bridge’s “Update” and “Autoupdate” features. But the current plugin still works fine if you give it a 32-bit Photoshop CS6 with an old 32-bit Bridge plugin located in Photoshop’s plug-ins directory.<\/p>\n

I should say that all this happens for me in Windows 7 64-bit, and that later versions of Windows may not be so co-operative.<\/p>\n
