“Very Good Site”

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.

“Avoid it.”

Daz3d is a $#*!ty program that freezes up my computer. Avoid it. There are better programs out there.

Not sure why all the negative reviews, software is free and kicks butt if you have basic knowledge of computers and graphics software. No company technical support because Hey! It's free!. Lots of add-ons and a large product base. I have been using about 10 years mainly for medical visualization. Now I am building some simply games and visual effects with my videos. My toolbox contains Daz Studio, Blender, Unreal Engine, iClone, Photoshop and After effects. And Bridges between different applications. Current hardware is behind the times but what I can afford these days as I am retired. DELL Precision T3610 XEON 6 Core 12 threads@ 3.5 Ghz 128 GB DDR-3 Ram Samsung 1TB SSD Hitachi 2TB Hard Drive NVIDIA Titan RTX 24gb Video. 650 watt Pwr Supply. My workflow is kinda hap-hazard as I move around from app to app importing and exporting to get what I like, I'm sure I am not doing it right but works for me. I build most of my characters from scratch and sometimes use face gen. I am a photographer so I create a lot of HDRIs. I know my work is amateurish but I'm having a good time.

Tip for consumers:
they have lots of feebies

Products used:
Too many to list

First off, the programme installs wherever it pleases, but it's possible to relocate it after the fact. Once you get into the programme and figure out how.

Daz Studio can't seem to consistently connect to its Content Manager, but after spending ten hours on the forum, and uninstalling and reinstalling the software half a dozen times, you'll find a solution.

Sometimes DS loads quickly, and sometimes it will spend half an hour first connecting to, then updating, its Content Manager. Other times it will just get stuck while updating the CM, and you'll have to kill the program, in which case its database will be damaged, and the next time it loads it will take foreffingever to rebuild it. In this case, it's easier to uninstall the CMS and reinstall it.

Sometimes the Install Manager will just disappear in the middle of downloading content. Sometimes it doesn't load at all, although in both cases it ill appear in Windows' Task Manager. Don't be fooled, though: it's not still downloading your files in the background. This would be odd behaviour, but still useful.

If you're lucky, you can find solutions to all these problems (and more!) online, whether in the forum or elsewhere, but you'll never find help from anyone who produces or sells the software, because while the *content* costs money, the software is free, and frankly they can't be bothered to support it.

Daz Studio seemed like a good idea, and i was even prepared to pay for the content. But after a week of trying to fix someone else's sloppy programming and incompetant implementation, i'm moving on. The only real disappointment here is that i don't have something physical to break in half, or crumple up and throw across the room into the trash bin, or carry outside to the parking lot and set on fire. After all my wasted time on Daz Studio (4.12), being able to physically destroy it would have been very satisfying.

"Only 46 more characters to make your standard review into a featured review" - LOL, since when does Daz3d has *any* sort of reviews?

Reason I chose this business:

I love checking for new deals.

Reason I chose this product:

Saw those buildings, good value for 3.49 + the extra $10 they bring in Asian stuff was even better value.

Reason I chose this product:

I love to do 3D character designing as a hobby and I needed some things for both male and female characters. I also wanted to make sure that the items I wanted to purchase maintained their sale status if they had one.

I think a lot of the reviews here are from the inexperienced who are unhappy about their lack of intuitiveness when it comes to using DAZ and its products. I personally do not use Studio. I'm not very comfortable with the interface and do indeed find it hard to put and find products in the library. But I have always believed that has more to do with me than DAZ's program.

The fact is novices and professionals around the globe are both turning out amazing works for everything from movies to graphic novels. I'm simply one of the many who can't. But I have created very basic scenes in Studio. (The software comes with a nice library of products so I'm not sure why there are complaints about having to spend money to use it out the box.) It renders fast and provides a range of options for lighting, camera operation and more.

I'm a Poser user. This is the platform DAZ chose to support for years. My inventory contains thousands of dollars worth of DAZ products. I rarely visit DAZ these days because they are all-Studio all the time. Since I don't use DAZ Studio, I can no longer use their products. But, unless their policies have changed dramatically, I have always found their support incredible. My association with them lasted well over a decade and I never had an issue that wasn't resolved to my satisfaction. Support was always quick to find a way to solve my problem quickly. Never had a ticket that wasn't resolved within a business day or two.

But those were my experiences. I certainly know of many stories about consumer unhappiness with DAZ. Their forums are filled with people that want to help though. They're an argumentative, supportive bunch, but they love DAZ and will try to walk you through any problems. And veiled threats aside, you can't blame DAZ for trying to protect its reputation. Would you sit back and let someone bad mouth your services -- on your own site?!?

I'm a professional writer and 3D hobbyist. I love Poser and, while I no longer purchase their products, still have a great respect for DAZ. I've been paid to write several reviews by third-parties who had no idea about my history with the company. Going back to see what they're doing still impresses the hell outta me. If I could figure out how to use Studio, I know I'd be having a great time with Genesis and some of Stonemason's new stuff.

I'm sorry so many of you seem to see DAZ as some sort of scam or hustler. I think that's as far from the truth as it gets.
