    @memcneil70: Beautiful work. Do you have any idea how long this would have taken on an older, Intel Mac?

    Thank you for the compliment @inquire. It shows when you are restricted to a limited range of options you can come out with something! Kind of like restrictions to only a few colors of paint creates masterworks.

    No, my old iMac had an Nvidia 660 card and I did have D|S loaded on it in 2016, but after a very bad crash in 2017 I never reinstalled D|S. That computer became my hub to keep records, and do my editing work. But I was only able to do a character, kitted out, scene, simple lights on it. It is why I was desperate to replace it with a new computer and I do like the Mac OS.

    But nowadays, my GTX 1080 and GTX 1080Ti Windows 10 machines have some issues with the newer, more demanding products. And on my MacBook Pro M1, there are some products I have had to uninstall because they cause problems or crash/freeze the computer.

    Maybe others with the older computers who have the Intel Macs can advise you?

    A positive thing about the Mac Mini M4 I have noted, is the speed which even large-size files download and install through DIM, along with other programs.

    I'm strongly considering 'Genesis Generation X2' and addons, but I'm concerned about the installation format. Obviously, I'm a macOS user (13.x). But the old Bitrock Installer apps more often than not refuse to work (regardless of disabling Gatekeeper) probably (certainly?) due to the installer. My question: Does 'Genesis Generation X2' 64-bit have a newer better updated installer that will actually work for Ventura and DS 4.22? Does it install via Install Manager?

    I just installed it through DIM into my new Mac Mini without thinking about it and its addons. I haven't tried it, but no issues that I know of.

    Thank you! You've quelled my concern. AND it and its addons just went on sale today! 65% off!! Merry Christmas!

  • Unfortunately, despite following tutorials, GenX2 crashes DS seconds after initiating the transfer. It begins but then crashes. Log details don't offer any clue.

    Equally unfortunate, if not more so, is that the search function in the DAZ 3D forums is horrendous. In my experience, any keyword search results in each and every reference to the keyword in each and every post and susequent post for all time. I'd forgotten how bad is was.
