Hi, this is njs (he/him).

I was just wondering when the Filament Render be available for mac users?

I do remember asking the tech support team about it, they replied back saying not at this time.

It could happen eventually.

I'm just curious if anyone knows about it yet.

    From what I understand, Filament could appear in the next major version of DAZ Studio (version 5) for macOS.  The DAZ development folks first needed to update the cross-platform SDK used to create DAZ Studio.  This would allow for additional macOS features (and Windows features.)

    No timeline has been given for when we might see DAZ Studio 5, or if it will initially offer Filament for Mac.

    I am looking forward to DS 5 when it arrives.  Perhaps others with more inside knowledge can offer a better guess on when that might be. :)

    No insider knowledge, sadly, but a DAZ rep did post that they actually had Filament working in the pre-beta they were going to release before they finally got DAZ Studtio to work  under Big Sur without needing a DAZ Stuido 5 update.

    No new word as to when D|S 5 will be released to the best of my knowledge, but hopefully it will be beforethe  two two-year anniversary of Filament being released for Windows.

    The type of Laptop that I have is a macOS Monterey. 

    Perhaps I'll have to wait until D|S 5 comes out.

    Yes, you'll have to wait for D|S5 to have Filamnet, but D|S does work under Monterey, so if you want you can keep working in D|S 4.20.xxx now until Filament is available in D|S5.

    I just saw a thread saying that DAZ | DIM just works fine on MacOS Monterey.

    Any news on that. Just noticed that fillament is mentioned during loading of DAZ studio on Mac. Is this finally integrated of is this just a message during start which does not lead to anything still?

    I don't think anything has changed regarding the prerequisite migration to a newver version of Qt to have Fiament on a Mac.

    As Leana pointed out, Filament won't be available on the Mac until DAZ Studio 5. It's possible when it's mentioned during loading that some of the code elements are being put into place to prepare D|S for D|S 5, possibly a sign that the release could be any day week month time now.

    I wonder if DAZ Studio could be considered a  "game" and work through the game porting system?  Most games are working remarkably well.
