I think you are right. The further development of the plugin is obviously no longer of interest for Otoy.

My computer has an AVX compatible CPU - but I still can't get sculptron to run.
Tried everything, disabled firewall/AV, made all the windoes (10 PRO) updates, updated all drivers, tried all the options like win8-mode and so on...
started in administrator mode...
nothing.
I don't know any more ...

Sorry - but that's really no excuse.
Since so many months there's no single feature added to the plugin. Since so many months (years) the plugin-users ask for support of strand-based hair.

I've posted some quesions about the plugin 2023.1.1.306 in DAZ Studio 4.22.0.1.

I've installed the DAZ plugin version 2022.1.1.306.

Thank you - but sorry - this is no proper rendered strand based hair.
I've tried that "workaround" on tow different hairs for G8/G81 I've gought and on the storybook mouse also.
But although I've played around with the tesselation it doesn't look like hair or fur at all.
Also not when I start a ...

I've installed several versions of scultron several times but without any success.
I'm using a enterprise license for octane; WC and Embergen are running fine but whenever I try to start Sculptron nothing happens at all.

...I didn't find any support for strand based hair after installing the last version of the plugin.

2nd try.
Changed the graphics drivers, cleaned cache, switched of firewall and AV, installed 1.5-71.

Nothing.
New scene, loaded a Genesis 2.
Same.
Re-opened a scene from last week.
Same.

Sorry.
Going back to 1.5.55
