Which is extremely odd because actual artists making HD morphs for sale will make way better morphs than non-artists and indies dicking about as a hobby. But it's Daz. They have a section on their forums for NFTs, which tells you a lot about the business acumen and intelligence of their top people.
DAZ HD Morphing (Import subdivided models)
- Thread starter P_S_Y_C_H_O
- Start date
If you need to buy HD morph, stick to Daz original or skin makers that know what they are doing.
Like Daz skins in general, 95% is "indies dicking about as a hobby" (won't blame them tho).
That said Daz has a rabid fanbase and quite healthy ecosystem (which is quite rare).
For Daz3D, people should dig Tafi, Daz parent company. That's why I don't really blame Daz devs (not sure they have any insight).
How can we use this old version of DAZ and install it alongside a later one, like 4.20? Since they store their config in the same place, %appdata% something, some issues might occur (DAZ goes out of their way to warn not to do it and to make it as hard as possible to install two different versions). They only allow installing a stable version and a beta, but that creates a whole set of other problems, incompatiblity and bugs in the beta.

Read the earlier posts in this thread, this question is answered there. (Hint: make a new windows user for daz 6.4)
Has anybody actually tried this? I finally got around to installing 4.21, after installing 4.6 earlier, and the installer wants to remove the old version. I mean way to go DAZ being a pain the ass.

I installed the old version, under a separate account. But when I want to install the new version, it detects the old version and says it will be uninstalled, even though the new version is not being installed on the same account as the old one.

I'll be honest and say that I haven't actually installed it myself, I'm just regurgitating advice I've seen in other forums.
One last idea: can you do it in the opposite order? install 4.21 and then 4.6 in the 2nd account? The newer version's installer might be able to detect but the old one (4.6 is from >5 years ago) might not have that function...

Unless I have completely misunderstood this thread, that's the whole point: there is no new version because Daz stopped supporting "user created" HD morphs after version v4.6
The link in the 2nd post in this thread still works: https://f95zone.to/threads/daz-hd-morphing-import-subdivided-models.18115/post-1102296
There is, but one would need to become an artist to get it, or if somehow an existing artist decided to leak it (very unlikely). It's doubtful the plugin has remained unchanged, for many reasons (compatibility with new Zbrush versions alone would require it to be updated).
So If I created a HD morph, I am allowed to sell that HD model? (becouse I have ecreated a super detailed HD character)
I think it's risky. The reason they're not releasing the HD morph maker to the public is so HD morphs are exclusive to characters sold on DAZ. I don't think there are any HD characters on Renderosity, for example.

I think this will work. It uses the same settings as new versions, turnoff auto updates in the up-to-date version, you may have to close it first for it to save your settings, and the old one will also not try to auto update.
IIRC correctly it checks for some file which denotes that DAZ is installed. Not whether there are updates available.
