Version 1.6.2 of DAZ Importer and MHX Runtime System Released

Almost a year has past since stable version 1.6.1 was released, and it is now seriously outdated. Today the new stable version 1.6.2 is released. This is merely a snapshot of the current state of the development version. Apart from lots of bug-fixes, the new version has support from Genesis 9. It can be downloaded from

The documentation has not been updated for this release. In a few months I will hopefully release version 1.7 with updated documentation. In the same time the documentation will move to the Bitbucket wikis associated with the add-ons. The new documentation locations will be

https://bitbucket.org/Diffeomorphic/import_daz/wiki/Home

Work on the wikis has commenced but it is still at a very early stage.

Midnight Arrow suggested to move the documentation into a wiki to make it searchable. It is not clear to me if relocating to Bitbucket will achieve this goal, but it has several other advantages that are important to myself:

  • Easier to achieve a consistent look and feel.
  • Faster editing.
  • Better backup since the wiki is a git repo.

Also, putting the documentation at the same place as the code feels natural. There is little point in reinventing the wheel when somebody else already has done it.
