Version 1.7.2 Released

Update:

Version 1.7.2 contained a bug that prevented older characters to be imported under Blender 4. That is fixed in stable version 1.7.3, which can be downloaded from https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/3hdkujzb7yvgqsx226zpz/import_daz_mhx_rts_v1_7_3.zip?rlkey=oqugyrheyn2sma3zmxmxd2m3d.

Original post:

Version 1.7.2 of the DAZ Importer and MHX Runtime system has been released. It can be downloaded from https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/avm8al0hvr9hcr3lr78xd/import_daz_mhx_rts_v1_7_2.zip?rlkey=ytanxu07xotsozcuhhv1pa7tb.

The main improvements in this release are:

  • Support for Blender 4 (bone collections, principled shader version 2, hair curves).
  • Major performance boost for morph loading.
  • Improved support for older rigs with triax weights.
  • Bugfixes. 

This release has been tested with Blender 2.83, 3.6 and 4.0, but should  run on intermediate Blender versions too.
