My copy will sit there and "Optimize Materials" forever.  If I downgrade back to 1.5, it renders just fine, but I've lost my 'surfaces' pallette.

All in all, not too pleased with this update.  I'm having runtime issues now, losing files and data, etc.

I REALLY wish this program loaded scene files like 3ds Max does.  No continuous hunting for files because the data is save insided the .max file.

DAZ is really picky.  One reason it will never be a professional tool is because content is so hard to manage.  It should be like 3DS Max.  Point to the directory, and it finds your content.  You should have a window that pops up and asks you to specify a folder where your maps are found, or your models, or whatever.  What good is the content search if it doesn't find your installed files?

I just got through reloading my library, and NONE of my files open.  If I have to make a temp file for every bit of my content to open my preexisting files, then it's ludicrous.

I've spent a ton of $$ for content.  And it's just impossible to deal with this.  It works, a little at a time, but it's almost as bad as redoing every file, because I can't remember every piece of content I used for some of my larger pieces.  The really annoying thing, is I used all the default folders, and didn't move anything.  Program should have better coding so that the 'data' is saved with the file, not separately!

I know this isn't anyone's fault here, but I have to rant!  :)

DAZ is gonna get a letter....  :P
