Reliable, Easy to use, accessible, easy compatible between different 3D software platforms, affordable pricing and high quality products in the store. Daz3D is an amazing 3D software for scene building and character creation. I love it.
Many items to choose from, but not many great prices. Whomever authorizes/ok the sales/marketing should go back to school. Daz used to give away many free high ticket items now it's always...get this for x$$$ if you buy this or buy that. What happened to having the opportunity to get base characters free, or like once upon a time $5.99 for a limited time. The longer I keep my Daz+ membership, the less value I am seeing in keeping it. The things I am most interested in are always too expensive, and the weekly freebies often contains mostly textures sets...which are useless unless you have the actual item. Sometimes there is a pose set or maybe a prop or base figure starter bundle, but it is very rare. To get more people interested in Daz Studio Daz should have a limited( 24-48 hour)massive character sale.
All base figure characters(limit 3) $5.99-7.99 each Base only no morphs or clothing items included.
Shopping at Daz website can be an overwhelming experience. It's not always easy to find exactly what you are looking for. Old is mixed with the new, and new is mixed with old. When I do a search I never look at all the results because even after you've sorted there is still so many results.
Website should be broken down like this. If a person wanted Genesis 8, you click and the only results shown are Genesis 8 items. Genesis 8 underwear, click Genesis 8 underwear should be the only result you see. Would be quicker finding what you need.
And so many merchants on the Daz website never mention what products are used in their promo shots. Every merchant SHOULD BE REQUIRED to post this information. There have been so many product promo photos I've seen that had items I was interested in but couldn't find out what they were because the merchant did include/post that information.
Pricing...I know digital work isn't easy and these creators deserve to get paid...but what is the deal with these prices and Daz pricing scheme? Now you almost always have to spend $$$$ to get any kind of good deal. "Buy this bundle at $99-$140 to get 10% off this $90-$100 bundle and so on. Pricing is all over the place.
If they really wanted to get new people into Daz Studio, offer more free items on the website. Base character, clothing, props and so on. A new person coming and getting started with Daz won't have any of these base figures so they won't discover the possibilities of the Daz phenomenon. They(Daz) should offer a base figure every month to entice new people. They get the figure start playing around with it, then they will want clothing, hair and so on. That's how you market, offer something that is going to peek interest not introduce a character/figure and charge$50-$100 for it.
That's why there are some figures I would really like(not bundle just figures) but just cannot afford those prices.
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.
Purchasing always goes fine as does installation -- for the most part. However, there are some wonderful products that interface with Photoshop, such as "Ron's" brilliant works... but there isn't quite enough instruction on where to direct those items so that Photoshop will "see them." Also, your tech support started helping us with a critical problem, but after I submitted the requested screen shots and screen video, I haven't been able to get a response from them. They started out responding very quickly, but now it's been 18 days of silence. This is crippling since DAZ is not functioning properly and we are on a huge project.
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.
Bryce 3D - For photographers, Bryce 3D is a great little tool to add 3D images to your photographs, such as suns, moons, landscapes, sky, etc... very worthwhile learning if you do landscape photography. Yes, I realize it is dabbling into graphic art, but nobody will know...
The artists that make the content are great, unfortunately they as well as the consumers are completely let down by a complete lack of customer service. The help desk might respond within a couple of months and thats if your lucky. However the response is usually non relevant resulting in another huge waiting period for another follow up response. I cant understand how a company can be run in such a pathetic way and not go out of business.
Easy to order,
Only small issue; when you click on 'place order' just sort of freezes for several minutes, have to click multiple times to make work,
Other than that great promotions, great job keeping ordering simple, and no issues on website or applying promotional discounts yet!
Keep it up
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.
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.)
The company enjoys a generally positive reputation for its extensive range of high-quality 3D products and a user-friendly shopping experience, with many customers appreciating the helpful support and prompt service. However, concerns have been raised regarding pricing strategies, particularly a perceived decline in value for membership benefits and issues with product search functionality. Additionally, some users have experienced bugs and crashes within the software, leading to frustration. Overall, while customer satisfaction is high regarding product quality and service, improvements in pricing transparency and software stability are needed to enhance the user experience further.
