How to install older versions of Daz Studio

In this episode I'll show you how to install legacy versions of Daz Studio without Install Manager. This is useful if your existing scenes no longer render properly with the latest version. Sadly older installers are automatically overwritten, so you'll have to save them manually before updating and I'll show you where to find them.

Hey Jay, thanks for another great video. Small correction: it is in fact frowned upon to ask for older versions of daz studio in the DAZ forums, and a good way to attract the attention of the moderators, who will delete any such post and give you a stern talking to. I know this from experience when updating from 4.14 to 4.15 completely broke the output images for my specific needs, and I went looking for a 4.14 in a bit of a blind panic as my production was dead in the water at that time.
I am also not aware of any unofficial place that collects older versions. In my case a helpful individual spotted me an installer they happened to have saved after experiencing a similar incident a good while back, and I've been using that one ever since, but if you do not save those installers yourself or know someone that has one, you're plain out of luck.

Great tip! Fortunately I'm a digital squirrel so I kept all my installers going back as far as '4.9.3.166 Pro Edition'. With over 15, 000 DIM packages in my library it took forever to reinstall Daz over the internet, now I just copy all the zip files into the DIM downloads folder and let DIM do its thing overnight.

I'm still using DAZ Studio 4.10. I won't be upgrading to any newer version until I have a computer that can handle the latest figures, dForce, and the Iray renderer. My current PC can only handle up to the Genesis 2 figures smoothly, and only the 3Delight renderer. It does not have the needed graphics hardware for using Iray or dForce. Even so I am able to do some rather awesome renders, because I understand the 3Delight renderer fairly well.

[Serenitys-Gate]

Hi Jay,
I just watched this video on older versions, I hope you can help ?
I to am battling the big C along with heart disease, 2 colon resections and
after 7years they find a malignant mass in my gut next to my aneurism LOL

Daz isn't helping my High Blood pressure issues as usual ;-)

Im 73 and about all i have left is my sense of humor LOL

Anyway - I have always used Daz to distract me and provide some
entertainment and stimulation for the "grey matter" but as usual They did it again and Im screwed and really cant deal with the frustration and dont want
to stop using Daz, but they've really given me no choice this time ! Im hoping by reaching out you or someone may have a copy of it before all the Iray crap? - you know when we could use ghost lights and all those toys LOL

Anyway I hope this finds you well, and I hope you can help this ol boy out

Thanks and God Bless

Tom

[starcityinc]

hello Jay, I disable fix bone and zero root rotation on import in my project settings in unreal and then successful received the daz character skeleton mesh, pose and animation all separately.
below are issues which i am facing, please suggest i to solve them.
1. cloths were dforce and i simulated them in daz for pose in a current frame and also for walking animation it was simulated in Animated (timeline play range), but in unreal engine the animation played well but cloths were stiff ... so how to manage them?

2. How to combine pose (with props) and animation together in Daz and send them in unreal?
3. How to send the asset with proper weight and because hair and beard and some props can't be send to unreal
Please advice. Thanks in advance
