Been using Daz for over a decade. I've been especially appreciating the accelerated updates these past few years. Thank you very much. Your interface is clear, and mostly well laid out. I think there could be some better consolidation on the main page, I would like more search filters, and I do find the overall installation cumbersome, but I did manage to learn how to save everything to an alternative drive. This is something that should be made more clear in the installation process: the ability to target-install the application and the directories with a clear warning that the directories are large, and should not be saved to your C: Drive. This has caused headaches over the years, but I made the effort to sort out how to get it done because I am a proponent of your software and service.
I've been a DAZ member for years, and have always found interactions to be professional, and well expedited. I have nothing but good things to say about the service and the software.
I've always had a good experience with Daz. No issues checking out or downloading the products. This time was the same, and I was able to see the item I bought in my content folder in minutes. Overall, good products, decent prices, and it's easy to find what I need here. Also, the times I've spoken with people, they've been kind, courteous, and prompt with replies. That's the kind of customer service I like. Feels like they care about their customers.
I've been working on Daz3D for a couple of days and picking it up fast. I'm not any near an expert but I am enjoying learning it. Tons of free addons and great deals on the purchases I have made. I have about $12 in this one and I can now continue to use everything from that purchase in the future.
Excellent service as always from Daz.
I forgot to mention in the recent survey one theme Daz has not explored so far but would be a great to have and that is military uniforms from the Napoleonic era. Just a thought - your site and product is amazing.
Daz can be fun, but it's also expensive. For a hobbyist like me, that makes it kind of hit or miss. Not everything works easily either, and as there are no user ratings on products, spending money on something that might not be what you really want is hard, especially in the current economy. Additionally, with the constant barrage of new things, trying to keep up hardware-wise and product-wise is a never-ending battle.
The lack of product ratings makes indecision near constant when buying content. I have no idea if a product will be useful or if it's incompatible with my needs (released 5 years ago and I'm working exclusively with high-resolution assets).
Hard to recommend your platform to new users with these prizes. You praise yourself as a progressive company just to cash in. Genesis 1 was a good concept but now you sell everything double and triple, sorry no recommendation from me towards my friends!
I had applied a coupon discount to this order, and clicked too quickly through checkout to notice that the system had removed my coupon when I went to check out. So instead of just under $40, I ended up paying almost $80, which was not in my budget. That's not entirely DAZ's fault. I didn't pay enough attention, but randomly removing coupons hurts.
The 3D printing license deal is a fiasco. I've been a customer since DAZ was part of Zygote. The only way I can get redeem the "Free 3D printing licenses" is to open the product page for every single item I own and click the "License" button?!? That's ludicrous. On top of that, it's not working properly. It keeps giving 500 errors when the button is clicked. Customers should automatically have their product libraries tagged so all their purchases before 12 July have the printing license.
You've given us free 3d print licenses on some items already purchased. Great, this opens up some ideas. But then you make me go through every single item I've purchased and manually add each license to the basket as I only have limited time to pick up these licenses and it's not enough time to know if I want to actually use the item in 3d print. A complete time waste when I could be doing something more productive.
The Prices have gone up too high.
I recently purchased a new Mac computer and wanted to start fresh by downloading Daz Software and nothing works. Had to delete it because it was also taking too much hard drive space. Your software needs upgrading.
The prices have gone so high, it's no longer fun to create.
Makes you not want to buy anything.
They keep adding old items to the bundles so you end up buying duplicates. If people could rate all of the items at Daz, it would reveal the truth about compatibility and quality of the purchases.
Constantly have had billing issues or price changes mid purchase, missing content from my account. And coupons are gone for this month that i never got to use even though i paid for the membership lasting thru this month
The cart popup requires an additional click when reorganizing the cart adding new items (Daz discounts often require a lot of reorganizing), pages load from the bottom, Daz deals plugin doesn't work anymore, filtering options have diminished. This makes shopping an almost painful process when looking for sale items that are on my wish list.
Website is broken since last update, the cart popup requires an additional click when reorganizing the cart adding new items (Daz discounts often require a lot of reorganizing), pages load from the bottom, Daz deals plugin doesn't work anymore. This makes shopping an almost painful process when looking for sale items that are on my wish list.
Please re-evaluate how PA+ coupons are used. Over 50% of the time, I can't use them for one reason or another. For example, I tried to use the prime coupon on this order, and I got an error message stating it was invalid.
I can never use my coupons half the time... so I really don't save a lot
I placed an order and expected to have the items added to my account. Instead, the order says, "processing" and I've never received the items. The charge is on my credit card, and I haven't received the items. I opened a ticket and "Gunnar" says they can't do anything. I asked them to cancel the order and refund it. Here's what he said: "Unfortunately that is not possible for me to do. There is no option for me to cancel an order on my end of the transaction. You must notify me of any updates that are made on your end."
This is totally not consistent with their own help pages on the subject that say, "Step 2: Submit a Sales Support Ticket and include the following: purchase order number, the name of the product(s) that you wish to have refunded..."
Truly, your online shop is broken if you can't refund an order.
Now, I have to dispute this with my Credit Card company
Overall, the site and store are working well but still need improvement. For example, the TAGs in the blue line (top of the site) should also be visible when you are on a product page. Furthermore, the latest updates have worsened the visibility of the products in the list while instead the product covers should be larger to give greater visibility.!
Finally, in the "items" section there are no tags like "hair or clothes" which makes searching even more cumbersome.
In any case, the DAZ site remains one of the most complete and updated stores but I hope it will improve further soon!
Great shop with lots of interesting products that are affordable and usually quite nice. However, it would be really useful with the following information on each model: #polygons #triangles #vertices #draw calls
In addition, I would like 3d models to come with one or more low poly versions. I use most of the models I buy for games and would really appreciate any of these suggestions to be implemented in the shop. Overall, you are doing well, and I have been met with great service the few times I have been in contact with support/CS. I would give 4.5 stars, and easily up that to 5 if the requested information was added and/or low poly versions added. Thanks!
Your search engine could use some updating. I typed in something like New Cart and 20 or so packages came up. Not one of them was a New package. I've noticed in the past, depending on what I am looking for, the search engine isn't always very accurate or helpful.
DAZ makes my life a lot easier. Your staff is always polite and helpful. The orders are usually easy to process. My only complaint so far is it would be helpful to be able to send messages to the artists in order to make package suggestions... for instance, I would love to be able to suggest am English (shaggy) Sheep Dog package etc.
While I appreciate that the 3D Licenses are being offered for free for a limited time, adding them item by item is ridiculous. I just spend the better part of an hour doing 1 page from my product list. I have 220 pages of products.
I have been with Daz for over 15 years. Looking at everything takes a long time and is hard to chose. Checkout is quick and easy. Can be addictive too. The sales can be quite a wonderful way to get items you missed. Amazing artists and their products.
Answer: You get 3 free transfers then there is a cost to upgrade to unlimited. I found a much better program FaceGen Artist Pro. It's pricey at $139 but gives much better results than the built in face transfer.
Answer: Daz has a free transfer program on their website for blender, maya and many more. Works good!
Answer: No, Daz Studio does animation. You will render your animation series.
Answer: Daz3D will not read those files, as they are just text. However, the files can be "rendered" as an image, for use within Daz3D. Or, if you are asking about the other side of things, Daz3D can render images or video, which can be used along with your presentations. Both of those formats you mention, do not normally include "video formats". Neither of them are "image formats". PDF is just a text layout format for printing pages. MS-Word is just a text-formatting program, for use with printing too, for direct display in MS-Word, or on printed paper. However, it can export in other formats. (Not to be confused with "Word pad".) If you can put the words on an image, in any form, they can be used within Daz3D, for display. However, Daz does not have any form of "text-rendering code", to convert text into 3D objects.
Answer: When you register with the website, you will be given a code that is entered for you. If that fails, for whatever reason, you can go to your profile page and locate all "license codes", used to activate all the free items which may need them. (Or the paid programs, if you buy them.)
Daz3D has a rating of 3.1 stars from 1,448 reviews, indicating that most customers are generally satisfied with their purchases. Reviewers satisfied with Daz3D most frequently mention good experience, customer service and high quality. Daz3D ranks 2nd among Graphic Design sites.
