This is not referring to this special order but is to be seen as a general "critic" There are many products on DAZ3D that seem to be very useful, but often creators spend only little time in explaining how to use them. It was often i have seen the usage of products being discussed in the forums and if it would be worth buying them. I ask myself how can they even be sold when people have to ask that question? Seems there were other users also that experienced such poorly explained products. There sure are explanations but the creators should elaborate them much better. Mostly they are only explaining what the features do but not how to get them to do it - if that makes sense. I think you as DAZ3D should push creators to make an effort that also users that are no pro's in using DAZ will understand it. That will benefit you in the end as well, because how it is now it makes you hesitate to buy an item when it even just seems like you would need an explanation in how to use it.
It is very unituative - for example you select Genesis 8 (buy for free) and then what? It appears nowhere - there is no way to download it or install it - I thought the idea of Daz vs Poser was this was supposed to be an easy streamlined process...
I love using DAZ Studio. I find the tools easier to use. With DAZ Studio I can make the stories that my pens write on paper less abstract. The world of mysteries and science fiction have always attracted me, were and are part of my life. It's my hobby. With DAZ Studio I can create illustrations for all my stories. Or simply pay homage to some other classics and new stories. And, enjoy each of them.
Dont know if it was because of the cyber deals on Tuesday, but the website kept crashing, and when it was working it was painfully slow. The whole process including me deciding on what to buy should not have taken me more than an hour. The process took me 4.5 hours! I know things get busy, but the is is not acceptable. I used 4 Computers and 3 different internet connections (Cell phone, Microwave dish, and Starlink)...Wow! What the hell happened?
I love working with Daz but the filters in te store are very limited and makes looking for something to use my coupons on a chore instead of fun, Options to restrict by price, no Daz+ items and filter by type (hair, clothes, transport etc) would make a huge difference
Daz is fairly easy to use with a few areas that have a steep learning curve such as using Dforce. I do wish there was easier software to develop clothing, items, poses, etc. Some products are pricey but do go on sale at some point. Site is easy to navigate, though I wish there was a way to contact creators directly for assistance.
Very satisfied with the service, products and sales. I have been a graphic artist for over thirty years and worked extensively with Adobe products. Then I discovered blender which eventually got me interested in 3D art and led me to Daz Studio. I downloaded Daz Studio which is free and discovered a whole new art medium to work with. The products are great and the community is wonderful when it comes to learning how to render using Daz. I am also a Platinum Club member, which I highly recommend, since it provides you with great savings, and yes there is always a sale.
I would like to be able to organise my wishlist into categories/lists like I can in Amazon etc.
So I can place an item in say "Building list" or in "medieval clothing list".
This would make organisation of the wishlist(s) a lot easier. Right now it is just a big black hole that I toss everything into and I never look at it because it is hopeless.
Thank you.
When I buy a product and click the info button in Daz Install Manager it way too often (30%) leads to an inactive page. This is very frustrating and we should really not have to experience that.
There is so much content that I wish there were more ways to filter and organize that content to find what I am looking for. In addition, I wish that we could rate the content and comment on it after we purchase it. There have been times when I have ordered things and went to use it and it did not work the way I wanted or there were issues with them - if others experienced similar issues I would love to be able to read about those types of things in the comments before purchasing.
I came to see if anything that was on my wishlist was on sale and it was - but there were four items that said they 100% off "free" - great! Only when I added them to my cart, they reverted back to full price and then disappeared completely when I refreshed. Bait and switch? Dunno. One of them was Easy Char Generator for Genesis 8. You may want to fix that problem.
Had a very good experience on the browser, product page, cart. Bad experience with the store page because I can't filter the products properly for my Wishlist items. Daz is relying on a chrome extension for filtering and it doesn't even communicate with the owner the site updates, so hundred of customers including me were left without vital filtering on the store page. I had to modify extension javascript code in order to make it work. Also the products do not contains game developers vital information like number of polygons, so for me now was a lucky day that I got a nice item I can use in my game and not have to return it.
There are a lot of good offers in the DAZ Shop, including today's Gift Card offer. But there are too many sales in the DAZ Shop and so it takes too long looking through them! Could we please have fewer sales per day, to simplify things a bit? Some of the sales require looking through long sale lists of products, and this can become very tedious when there are 2 or 3 or more sale lists to look through.
I love the super discounts (especially under $3) when I can pick up things I may or may not ever get around to using. You're "regular" prices are almost always more than I want to spend, but 50% or more discounts usually help.
I purchased food props so that my characters can enjoy a delicious virtual Thanksgiving, and other feasts! The food looks scrumptious, and I'm sure that if my computer had "smell-o-vision" it would smell delicious!
Overall, across all my purchases, it's been really good. This time, the screen locked after "paying", so I wasn't sure if I was charged, charged twice or not at all, and if I would get them.
I tried refreshing the screen without success, then I changed "process" to "success" in the address bar, and everything looks OK.
I got my items, and I will double-check the charge shortly.
Purchasing has (almost) always been smooth. The "almost" is quite a while ago, so recently it's been good.
Tried it, didn't like it.
Then found the uninstaller doesn't work(neither did the Daz install manager).
Spent an hour getting the files off my computer that were buried EVERYWHERE.
Get your uninstaller fixed you morons
Daz sales aren't stable, nor are they logical or in this mars madness sale very attractive.
And customer support, judging by the forum members, is sorely lacking. Some tickets haven't been solved in months. Besides, long-time customers like me can't even get something of many sales, as we own too much already of the DAZ assets. Which makes me not buying into 8.1 Figures, except if they are totally unique - most aren't (or extraordinaryly cheap).
Buying today was frustrating. The sale with the core figures for 5,- wasn't good, as I owned them already. I discovered the included bundles, picked one, picked 7 other items from the featured artists' list, discovered that the coupon wasn't working any longer because the bundles were pulled, was so annoyed that I emptied my shopping cart immediately, because, as I wrote already, I owned all the core figures and couldn't use the coupon. Another screwed up sale.
It takes a real man to admit when he is wrong, and I consider myself every inch a real man. I was wrong in the negative review I left here & in how I acted towards one of the Customer Service Reps who tried to help me. In spite of my unseemly conduct, she remained courteous, respectful, and graceful "under fire" and worked with me to reach a highly satisfying conclusion. She bestowed upon me a great gift and, most importantly, restored my trust in Daz Studio in particular and humanity in general. I found out that the transactional difficulties I'd been experiencing wasn't the fault of Daz Studio or its servers, but some kind of glitch by my own "trusted" financial institution. Long story short, "eating crow" isn't a favorite pasttime of mine but it is what real adults sometimes do. Many thanks to Britney and Daz Studio!
The checkout process is great. I really like how it shows the total cost of items in the cart and then how much you saved.
I enjoy collecting the free stuff, I just wish it was easier to get started in actually using something to make something.
Love your stuff. Love how you've fixed and smoothed the purchase/update/reload process! Wish you would turn that same energy to metadata and searchability so it is easier to find stuff in store and personal library. Litmus: try finding every eyeglasses/spectacles model you have. I bet less than 1% show up in search results.
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.
