Reality 2.5 is a free update to all users of Reality 2 that brings compatibility for Studio 4.5. Users of Studio 3 don’t need to update, for them Reality 2.2 is the latest release.

Hello. Since DAZ has released Studio 4.5, I have finally built the final Reality 2.5, which brings compatibility with this version of Studio and full support for the new .duf file format.

Just wanted to let you know that, if you want to use Studio 4.5RC1 you will need to install it on a separate location and keep you old copy of Studio along with it because Reality 2.2 is not compatible, at the moment, with Studio 4.5. This is a common issue with all plugins that were made for the current version of Studio, version 4.0.3.47. Reality will be updated to be compatible with Studio 4.5 around the beginning of June. I’m currently taking some time off, till the end of May. I will return at the end of May and work on...

I’m sorry to say that the previous build, 2.20.1.114 introduced a bug in the conversion of the displacement parameters.
