You've done a great job of making sure the newer products have product images in the "Support" folder that matches "... dsx" name. But there remains some that consumers still need to create themselves. Keep going, you're doing great.
I have loved Daz3D and have been a customer for many years. My biggest complaint is the cost involved with buying your products. Also, the change from 3D Delight to IRAY, which requires a Iray compatible graphics card, more memory and more processing power, is putting me out of business. Rendering time takes so long now, that any enjoyment I use to get from doing 3D art is replaced with frustration and irritation. This defeats the whole purpose of having this as a hobby, it isn't fun anymore. So, I'll soon be throwing in the towel and shutting down in the very near future.
The search function is so awful that it doesn't find products even if you enter their names. (Try finding the dForce Magnet product by searching for it.) I'm pretty sure your conversion rate would go up if people could actually find stuff they wanted.
Search is so wonky — doesn't show items that I know exist, shows other items that have no relevance. Also, I hate the new product page format. I have to scroll to find basic information, dark mode is harder to read. Also, the new store page format is full of wasted space, since the side bar is short, but the entire space beneath it is blank. Super annoying.
I love Daz BUT the website is sooo frustrating! Takes so long to remove items (one at a time) or put into wish list. Clunky to learn which items in cart are ok to buy due to software, for example. Would love more info on how to use certain arcane products (whose documentation is just as confusing :/ Thanks for listening :)
I received an e-mail for "A Late Christmas Gift to me" with a coupon code for "$5 worth of free Daz Originals", the link in the email directs me to the main shop page. It has the standard restrictions: {Offer valid for intended recipients only. Excludes Gift Cards, Memberships, Licenses, FastGrab items, Daz+ items, and New Releases. Coupon code usable once per customer.} The code did not work. Others reported the same problem last night.
But when you got it working today the item I wanted was no longer a choice. That sucks. Got something else but not what I wanted!
Daz is by far the best online store with regards to after sales, help, enquiries, refunds etc. However, the search function is not wonderful. Also, can we get the heart (add to wishlist icon) on the thumbnail. It's tedious to have to go into the item page only to click the heart. Another suggestion is to have a Merchant Resource only division somewhere. Some Merchants hide or don't state clearly whether a product can be used as MR or not. Please, this is a huge headache. It takes a long time to read the whole thing to still not be sure afterwards.
Thank you for all your friendly staff and wonderful products.
We love Daz
I have only good things to say about Daz
I have no complaints. Thank you for all the holiday freebies and discounts
Daz is always a pleasure to use, it's the reason I purchase here exclusively. Lol it's why I've spent a bazillion dollars in your store. Times are hard right now so I've had to budget but I'm sure it will pass. Thanks for a truly fun hobby
As always what I want, and if I'm patient at a good price.
I'm a big fan of Daz rarely a download, in fact only once and Daz Tech fixed in a few hours
Product quality varies a lot, or too much.
Just an example, I bought a tropical Island and almost everything is scaled wrong, furniture and bar is 30% oversized compared to 100% scaled models, it has floating shoreline foam that I can't adjust and trees that are half inside rocks. It's just messy and this could easily have been done better by the creator.
I also have a bunch of models with skins that don't have seamless genmaps.
I really miss reviews on the store pages.
DAZ 3D is very accessible, free to download, and has tons of models to use.
It is not a casual hobby, however. You will need to invest time, as you would in any art, to get good at it.
I'm a typical man: I like to skip the instructions. I highly recommend that everyone take the tutorials instead. They will improve your experience and help you with a steep learning curve.
The results, however, are fantastic--if you put the time in. Photorealistic models are achievable after you master the basics. People ask me if my renders are "real" and I'm just a beginner.
Final note: rendering is a long process, especially with an older computer. Please call my wife and explain to her that I need a faster computer with more memory.
The coupon codes did not appear to work correctly. Bundled items for a total of $2.79 did not ring up correctly.
I've purchased quite a few assets for my 3d art and cinematics projects from Daz, and I've been happy with almost everything. When, on rare occasion, something didn't work well for some reason, they were friendly and promptly refunded me.
The search function is horrendous, it's next to impossible to easily find what you need. If it's even been categorized correctly, in addition there aren't sufficient filters. Why am I forced to scroll through three pages of unrelated content just to find a handbag?
I can't access the content that I spent lots of money on. Don't waste your time and money here. It worked fine, when I used Install Manager, but since it switched over to DazCentral, I haven't been able to use a lot of my stuff. There are a ton of similar complaints on the forum, but no concrete answers. I sent an email to them, and they responded that it would take them 4-6 WEEKS, before they could answer. I love how much work is put into the technology, but if users can't use it, then it's useless.
Great software for newbies to 3D designs - If you have any interest in learning how to create all of those cool 3D graphic effects you see in movies, this software can have you creating amazing landscapes and images in just a matter of hours. It really is quite amazing and you can merge these images with photoshop too. Bryce has been around for a long time and is extensively used by advanced amateurs to make 3D models. Poser is another application and is used to make very lifelike 3D human models. Anyone interested in learning more about this type of artwork should definitely try their software.
Changing the terms of an advertised sale during that sale (as was done twice today with the $5 featured sale) is despicable practice, and even against the law in some jurisdictions. This keeps happening, and it's unacceptable.
You all need to fix your web pages in the stor. It is near impossible t find an artist other than on the main search... not able to on a sale page. The page numbers are on bottom... you have yt scroll all the way down and then when you go to next page it starts at te bottom not top.
There is more but thats a good starter for you guys to fix
The discount never dropped from 12-14% after I made a purchase. Plus, I am not sure I am even getting the correct discount when they start to stack up. Somehow, 69% -15% -12% shouldn't amount to 79% and if it does, you are really misleading your customers.
I never used this, but looking at the trailers and stuff around it it's some Roblox avatar editor clone for animating characters and made only for dancing?
This doesn't look fantastic, although the models are realistic and kinda good and they "are rigged", it's animations look choppy and clippy.
Thank goodness I've used blender for 7 months (today) and basically I've been learning rigging and modeling, I have models of them below me, but I just can't get the gifs to load :/
I cannot find how to activate the 2 separate dragonfly characters. They either do not appear in the scene, or if a figure is selected then they morph onto the figure's body. The Group of Dragonflies works great.
I have a hard time learning because my disability, and lack off money also equipment, but because off programs like this one and free things. I can learn in time. Thank all of you for the support. Love the Owens.
In my case im disable to work also im 60+ in age and trying to learn something that love, so in the very close future i can make peeps smile a little and make a living at the same time! Thank you all love the Owens
Absolute garbage of a corporation. It is hell trying to log in after signing up because you cannot log in and download their products. Utter rubbish, which will only ruin your day trying to use their products! Zero customer support!
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.
I cannot tell you how sorry I am to hear that this was your experience. Unfortunately, I have to admit that the number of new customers, and as such the support ticket numbers, has skyrocketed during the pandemic. The amount of time for us to respond to technical tickets for issues has definitely gone beyond a point that I would be happy with if I were a customer as well. I cannot make excuses for this, and I know that my apology does not give you back the time you spent frustrated. We have added several additional members to that team, and are working through the backlog. I hope that in a month or so when things are back to "normal" you'll give us another chance. If not, I fully understand and again, truly do sympathize and apologize.
