Arrgghhh.... I needed to copy the .dll into the C:ProgramFilesDAZ3DDAZStudio4 Public Build in order for it to be seen by 4.12...

Seems like it works now...

I sure hope all these installation steps get included in an installation script for the next version

Hmmm....

Probably not on the list. All DAZ plugins suffer this same source of confusion. I have a DIM-maker tool from DAZ, but don't know if it does plugins or just content. I'll have to check that...

Been busy updating docs. There's a lot in this update. Kind of crazy, actually. And I'm only able to describe the mechanics of it so far. The use of all of the new features is infinite - mixed blessing...

Hey @ebergerly ,

That stack trace error... I see that when I try to send an incomplete dynamic/animation simulation back to DS, and once that happens, not only is the animation probably funky, but the DAZ scripting stack is also probably hosed - not just for VWD, but for any script you may wish to run! I have a ticket in for this, and some ideas for an easy fix (I hope), but it's broken until then.

Bottom line, If you run a dynamic/animation simulation (vs a static sim), please don't interrupt it and send it to DAZ Studio (send animation to host). It just breaks things in DS. Let it finish, even if you don't want the entire output series.

As mentioned, working hard on humanizing these complex concepts, and I think it'll help. Also getting bugs fixed and little interface tweaks in place as we push into crunch-time.

I'm glad you're seeing DS 4.12 successes now too. I've been poking at it to be sure it'll work when that release is out. Just got another beta yesterday...

Thanks for your continued support everyone!
