No complaints. I would like more categories at top navigation level. The listing facets are fine but cumbersome. For example, if I think there should be a category for your premiere product, Genesis 8.
Daz3d is a $#*!ty program that freezes up my computer. Avoid it. There are better programs out there.
Tried to pay with my (stored) debit card 3 times and got an error each time. Finally paid with PayPal - using the same card - and it went through fine.
Sale pricing isn't reflected in cart -- I ended up paying more than 2x the price that's shown on the product pages. I'm a Daz+ member, and was logged in, and yet prices were all wrong.
I need the products for my project.
Sale items were supposed to be 55% + "an extra 20%" if I purchased a 'startling' item, which I did but the items sold at 64% off not 75% like I was supposed to receive. Unhappy customer.
Who doesn't like to play God? Creating characters and worlds in Daz3D gives an ordinary person like me insight into how it must have felt for God to bring the universe to life.
I had time to spare, and what better way to pass the time than to be creative?
They were free!
I've had a number of technical issues recently with my product purchases and my account and the support response have been abysmal.
If not for those issues the score would be much higher.
The quality of the products bought.
Always quick and easy and gets things done. Would be nice for better organizing to see orders. After you buy somethings its difficult to go through orders and find something on the website.
Love me my daz. I come back again and again because of the great customer support. Could be a bit faster but always helpful and on point
I choose daz every day.
Cheap and a great price today items I had on a wish list.
I like the occasional free stuff. Not buying a lot of new stuff because my computer is old and can't function well with Genesis 8. My newer computer doesnt support Nvidia cards so...
They were free
Well there was a free bundle. So I like free. It is appreciated.
Free bundle. Free is good.
Shop itself could have better searching and filtering. Sometimes it is hard to find asset for specific fugura and of its kind (like when I am trying to find hair and what shop offers me are faces - not good).
Also, sometimes it is not obvous what is actually in the package so I accidentaly several times bought something that is actrually useless (like when I was after christmass tree and it turns out the package only contains decorations.
About the Studio itself I cannot say nothing bad. Absolutelly got into this!
I created in 3d software for years, making environmental scenes for fun or for gaming (when UE4 became available). I always wanted to add people to my scene to make it more alive, but modeling is not my cup of tea. DAZ solved this so I can focus on my unorganic modeling skills and DAZ will do the rest.
I am trying to make my library as big as possible to have options. So whenever sometimes is for better price, I am taking it even when I have no purpose in the time.
After taking a long break from Daz3D, I had a DIGITAL STORM AVENTUM X custom-built and delivered to my home, and just started setting it up as a 3D production rig... and I must say, the redesigned checkout system at Daz3D looks beautiful. Nice to see orange banners once again.
Orange banner with discount for previously owned version of item.
Cart is a little slow and sluggish to respond, and the lack of filtering options in the store make it hard to find what you are looking for in any meaningful way
I purchased additional content with promotional item. Would have been nice to get the 10% off applied to the extra items. That discount was only offered to me AFTER the purchase, however.
Would love to make my own sales. Some items I just need, but have to wait for them to go on sale, and then the inspiration is gone. Would love a one-time-per-month coupon to use.
Daz3D sent me an email advertisement promoting a bundle that cost more than $100 and in exchange for buying this bundle they promised that on the 1st of September I would be delivered a HD 3D Model that was time-limited, exclusive and made by an artist I've purchased products from before.
Because of this model, I paid $109.13 for the bundle before the deal cut off at the end of August and then I waited patiently until the 1st of September.
Daz3D stated on their advertisement the product would be "automatically delivered on the 1st September", however the 1st came and no delivery.
At this point Daz3D removed all references from their website, slightly suspicious. I sent them an email, and was told "it will be released today!", waited until the evening, no delivery.
2nd of September came, still no delivery, sent them another email, told the exact same thing. Wrote a post on their forum, Daz3D staff deleted it.
Now it is the 3rd of September, they still haven't delivered my product, haven't offered a refund or anything, are deleting my forum posts... Feels like an absolute scam. All I want is the product I was conned into paying money for that I'm now doubtful even exists.
Tip for consumers:
Avoid!
Like other reviewer said, endless bug/glitches/code base, and I can't see the light at the end of the tunnel. When Daz works, it can be a great 3D tool, the concept behind it and the eco system are great. But most of time even the most basic function of rendering in this tool just utterly refuse to work in Daz, 2 month of using it it's always one catastrophic Technic issue after another even on a reasonable latest rendering rig. Whenever there's a graphic driver update, Daz override resource usage and put the entire workload on CPU leave my GPU isolated that nearly killed my PC and hog my system. After I manual fixed that, boom IRAY engine fail to render, only 1% of time it works, 2 month using it, I find myself spend 90% of my time troubleshooting Daz then actually creating things. Using a buggy, none functional mess like Daz is totally anti productivity and I wouldn't recommend it.
And their official tech support is nearly none exist, they rarely reply your email, censor your comment on the forum and leave you in the dark when you need them the most.
Some latest rendering error log shows how fail Daz's iray engine is it basically telling you, "nope! Nope and nope! I won't work"
Some of the products has clear instructions. A few have zero instructions and I can't even find them after installation.
You need to make sure that anything you sell has at least a basic howto
I have always liked doing business with DAZ Studio. Excellent products and they always are compatible. However, back when Dan Farr was CEO, customer service was much more accessible.
Store is normally good with plenty of offers would be good to have more options to filter, i. E. type of item (clothing, hair, figure) or show items in whishlist
Good choice of poses and textures
The way products are discounted is confusing. Savings is hard to calculate. Example: the price displayed for an item is $10 -30%. Buy 2 and get 50% off. 50% off what amount? Devious sales.
I needed them for a special project.
Over the holidays someone tried to give me a Daz gift. However they were worried about having to signup for an account. This put them off buying for me. Is there an easier way?
I love buying stuff through you but I don't like your freebees. Getting a texture for free but then having to buy something else in order to use it takes away the freebee idea. You cannot use the freebee.
Price use. If it's free and doesn't fit my genera I will still pick it up. If it has a cost but doesn't fit my genera I won't buy it.
Can you make the Wish List so that it tells me in the Wish List screen if anything is possibly discounted in the sales. So I can buy it quicker and not have to hunt the sales.
What i needed
Would like it if what you have in your wish list told you it could be purchased through a special.
Stuff I had a use for.
Your deals are sometimes confusing. When they are I don't buy.
I need to improve my work.
It would be nice if the system told us when something is or could be a special price.
I don't like your complicated deals. I could never figure out you're last one and decided not to buy based on it.
Easy to understand deal.
So far so good. It would be nice if it was easier to see if what you had was on sale due to one of the more convoluted sales discounts
I need to catch up on older characters (older looking).
Good. I wish there was more information on some of the characters and effects. Sometimes what keeps me from buying is I cannot find out information about the piece.
Didn't find what I was looking for but picked up something for free.
Totally unimpress3ed with the new setup. What is required or whether I own the required product no longer shows so I don't know if I have all the requirements for a product. If I buy a texture or add-on pack, I would like to be sure I have the original product before I WASTE money.
Hard to find free content and some that are rated free content, when they are in the checkout list suddenly have a price! This is confusing and borders on unethical.
Looking for more free content
They were free
Many products pages for which 3D printing would be desirable do not have a link to add a 3D printing license - to site just one example: Toon Dad and Fatherly Beard and Accessories for Genesis 8 Male
Many products pages for which 3D printing does not make sense do have a 3D printing license link: to cite just one example: Portrait Lights 2
Very frustrating to have to add printing licenses individually for all products that qualify for a free license.
Fear I would not get the license if I didn't purchase it immediately.
There are many G9 products that I would like to have, but they are still a bit expensive. I am planning to buy many of them in the Christmas and New Year sales.
Your e-mail invitation.
I want to use Japanese houses and landscapes as backgrounds for my scenes. But there are very few accurate and precise contents, and kimono of old times are full of mistakes.
Attractive price.
The trend to use SSDs as startup drives is increasing, and the sheer volume of 3D-related data means that its storage folders must be placed outside of the startup drive, which can be a problem if the design of UE5CC4DAZBlender add-ons is not flexible to these locations of the data drive.
We want to prepare for G9 acceptance as soon as possible.
Many products are not accurate for Samurai and women's Kimonos of that old Japanese era. I have been using DAZ to output to Blender to fix the mistakes. There are still many products that have the wrong way to handle Japanese swords "Katana".
I made up my mind after reading your e-newsletter.
I love the fact that I get free programs and tutorials to create beautiful creations. What a great opportunity for anyone looking for a career or just something to do as a hobby.
Well the obvious reason was that they were free, but I am not done shopping yet, but I always find great deals at low prices. So, thanks DAZ!
Great sales from time to time but their customer service is very slow to respond, and very often their advertised prices don't match the price once you place the item in your cart.
