SR1 Enhancements and Fixes, by Category
General
•    Duplicated props now properly reference binary morph data from the original
Cloth Room
•    Re-enabled progress dialog and cancellation of cloth simulation
Material Room
•    Fixed case where blank mapNames would cause file to not parse correctly
Preview Rendering
•    Fixed case where incorrect texture arrays would cause instability (SreeD only)
•    Wind force lines will now obey the object and figure visibility settings
Final Rendering
•    Improved stability of Subsurface Scattering with very small shading rates
•    Shadow maps now render correctly in separate process multi-pass renders
•    Fixed artifacts in rendering with reflections and certain geometry
•    Transparent surfaces now show specularity in reflections
•    Improved stability when rendering with 'Remove backfacing polys' enabled
Animation
•    Animation palette: Now preserving current actor when camera is adjusted
•    Animation palette: Corrected scrolling direction (Mac OS X only)
Figure Creation
•    Disabled conforming of magnet deformers by default. Greatly improves Fitting room workflow without requiring dev rig and magnetize poses.
•    Fixed case where magnets on props were incorrectly being created to operate in world space instead of local space
•    Now computing magnets for existing figures in local space again. Loading files with version 10.0 or newer will trigger computation in world space. Toggle 'Compute magnets in world space' on figure Properties tab to adjust behavior.
•    Fixed case where wave deformers on figures were being created to operate in world space instead of local space
•    Changed morph creation brush logic to improve interaction when multiple figures or objects are overlapping
•    Fixed refresh of Morphing tool Create tab when switching objects
•    Improved behavior of morph creation on props parented to a figure body part
•    Setup, Fitting room: Fixed case where collapsed items in selection dialog were not included in results
•    Copy Morphs From: Enabled copying of invisible parameters and linkedParms
•    Copy Morphs From: Now connecting meta value parameters. These are value parameters that in addition to controlling target parameters also control other value parameters. This also fixes some other value ops that may not have been connected in certain cases.
PoserPython
•    Now preventing running of Tkinter scripts to improve stability. Tk as included in OS X causes instability when embedded in an application (Mac OS X only)
•    Now preserving current actor when camera is adjusted

All the best.

Be careful to check your figures after installation.

SR1 introduced a nasty rendering flaw to several of my 3rd Gen DAZ figures.

So back up your preferences and stuff, in case you have to roll back like I did.

Pretty obvious, but I'll ask anyhow, did you go into the materials room and click normals forward?

"Pretty obvious, but I'll ask anyhow, did you go into the materials room and click normals forward?"

Yep. No difference.

And why should I have to suddenly re-update years worth of custom shaders I built for a change that makes no performance or quality improvement whatsoever anyway ?

 

BTW, the skin shader I use is 90% EZSkin with a few specularity improvements for a better OpenGL preview.

Servers must be getting hammered.  The download is slower than molasses flowing uphill in January.

Just something I do without thinking about it.  First thing clicked. There are times when it can make a lot of difference.
