DAZ is easy to use and can get where I want with the least amount of clicks - which is important. The less time I have t click to see what I want, the better. DAZ makes it easy to see items and checkout.
The things that needs to be fix to make it easier to buy from you is that products you own in a bundle, should be auto refunded or discounted when you buy a bundle. It made me now skip a few bundles, because it was to annoying. You would have more people buying bundles or separate items in bundles without fear if you knew it wouldn't ruin a sale or make the sale less valuable for you in the future.
Now you mostly need to pick if you want the bundle or separate items.
I know that sometimes you have a deal that items you own will be discounted, but that should always be active.
You can even pick bundles you own everything in and still place it in your basket. So then you would be paying for nothing. Also if I have items from the bundle in my cart, then I have to take a lot of time to sort away the duplicates instead of having the store do it for me. Which sometimes makes me not want to buy to much, because it becomes a time consuming hustle.
I got an email with a new release - Sci-Fi Rusty Railyard - I clicked the link and arrived at daz.com. The item was 100% off FREE. I put it in my cart and found it was 48% off and now $20.95.
So I was kinda disappointed
Sales are too complicated, and I have no interest in 90% of the 'new items' required to unlock discounts. I have a massive wishlist, which I suspect will remain largely unchanged due to the new sales strategy.
When I added one of my monthly coupon codes, the total payment amount didn't change, so I didn't know if the discount was applied until after I proceeded to checkout. Also, I wasn't sure which of my monthly coupons to apply, so I added both - but neither one was indicated as having been accepted. It turned out that one of them was applied, but I don't know which one it was. This was very confusing to me! I wish this had been more clear.
Not a huge fan of the new cart layout. Less of a fan of constant "sales" that put content at about what the regular price of a cart would have been a couple of years ago. I find a lot less motivation to buy from DAZ3d and end up at Rendo and other sites more often now.
I love Daz very much. The only thing I wish is that all characters could be used for genesis 8. And I wish all characters had different skin options. Like PBR or UBER. Other than that Daz is fun to use!
Money thrown away and cheating, they keep selling products on the site that need to buy plugins to work, then you will see that there are no more plugins for sale, masters at selling products that don't work, sell products that only work using other products on the site that just disappear from the site, burning money is more fun and less stressful than buying products from that company!
I really like the new storefront though I have mentioned it before. I would like to see however, a revamp of the "Daz Central" app as I find that it could sort my TON of content much better than it currently does.
I've quite given up on the sorting capabilities of DAZ studio itself and find myself using the daz central app to find stuff for me.
The Daz Central app gives me much bigger pictures than the daz program itself.
Love shopping here :) Great updates to the site.
The change of the shop design was needed and resulted in an horrible shopping experience, as the design might work for smartphones, but is bad when shopping with a PC. Check the reactions in the thread in the forums for many details
The Sales prices have gotten riduculously small.
The search engine has gotten more finicky and the filters are hit and miss. (Such as you can't search for environments, animals and architecture or shaders on a sales page (or any other non-specific page) because there is no filter or search term for it, other than if you know the name. It used to be that you could use the search term "N/A" and that would at least filter you down to a manageable level on sales pages to find any of the above, non-character offerings.
Working pretty well, I'm not fond of the way that the category heads are bunching up.
New website design is not good. Thumbnails are too small, with too much wasted space on the sides. I can't see the product unless I visit the page, and I do not have the time to visit all of them just to see if I want to look at them.
Its all ways great here at daz
Daz is like going into a poster or comic book shop and seeing what you like but your making and picking what you like and making that artwork you have all ways dreamed of whats whats so great at daz your dreams of making artwork never ends, seeinf what others make gives you the drive to want to make your own artwork
I feel that I do get quality products through DAZ Shopping. Products are pricy due to the exchange rate between US $ and AU $ but I make use of discounted products to reduce the impact. So please continue with the discounts. Thanks
They will up and cancel orders at random and it was very weird it was an ethnic items that was removed I guess they felt I was using it too much and they canceled my order for no reason and no email or explanation. I always heard they were racist I never believed it but after this, I am a believer now. I paid and it came off my atm card as paid and they just up and deleted my order for no reason.
I have been using daz 3d for over six years and i may have spent 100 bucks out of pocket for content i just had to have. Daz3d has free content available if you go to the search bar and type in 100%. Most newbies dont know that. Also daz has specials i have gotten several of the bundles for free you just have to be able to check frequently. I have never had a bad experience with customer service, i bought my first content and it wouldnt download and daz worked with me until we figured out it was my firewall preventing it. I highly recommend daz3d. I do wish there was an auto rigging feature like on maya but oh well, maybe in the future?
For some reason this week you have an error in your "DAZ FREEbies", there is one item in there with a steep discount, but isn't actually free despite being included there. "Elemental for Aloisia" is 90% off making it $1. As I said allready, nice sale price, but not free.
Love the variety of the products offered and many of the Vendors are outstanding; however, having been with DAZ now for so long there are 2 things that really UPSET me: 1. With every new release you either have to buy the same products over again updated for current release or wait for a converter product; 2. My DAZ program takes almost 10 minutes to launch due to the number of purchased morphs - this is the only software that I own that actually punishes me for making more purchases; this needs to be fixed - very bad business model.
Very addicting website it's amazing how far the world of 3d modeling has come you guys are 10x better than every other 3d marketplace combined.
Request: I would like, even if it's a module or some product you have to grab on the store, a powerful tool for modeling and painting my purchased shaders onto a model. I know you can do it pretty easily in blender but Daz is just so much cleaner.
Also see if it's possible to add a motion blur to your images like in the old days?
Also more barbarian stuff!
Almost perfect. I love the dynamic clothing. It should be extended to the hair (with maybe an easier way of dForcing the hair). In my opinion, one of the feature I liked a lot in Cinema4D was the particles emitter (wind/fire) / hair/fur / grass, and it's maybe one of the missing thing to make it perfect. But I still love this product.
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 3.6 stars from 1,447 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.
