A quick look at DAZ to see if anything important changed. Changes since DAZ Studio 4.20.1.17…<\/p>\n
* support for the new iRay “curves\/fibers for strand-based hair\/fur” (and later fixes)<\/p>\n
* iRay at “2021.1.2”<\/p>\n
So it looks like if you want the latest “furry” iRay, you want DAZ 4.20.1.34. <\/p>\n
Though if you go later than that and on into the public betas, at 4.20.1.58 you get…<\/p>\n
* iRay at “2021.1.6”<\/p>\n
* and a thorough overhaul of FBX export.<\/p>\n
Looking at the iRay dev blog…<\/p>\n
1.6 – was a “minor critical” bugfix.
\n1.5 – no mention.
\n1.4 – no mention.
\n1.3 – was “a minor bugfix”<\/p>\n
The iRay devs are working toward a major iRay “2022.0.0” beta, which seems due soonish.<\/p>\n
So unless you want to experiment with iRay hair, or think “minor critical” is worth the change, there doesn’t seem a great deal of need to upgrade DAZ just yet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
