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.
I love using DAZ Studio. I find the tools easier to use. With DAZ Studio I can make the stories that my pens write on paper less abstract. The world of mysteries and science fiction have always attracted me, were and are part of my life. It's my hobby. With DAZ Studio I can create illustrations for all my stories. Or simply pay homage to some other classics and new stories. And, enjoy each of them.
To complete some of my Old Collections of DAZ Bundles.
Those products are all useful to me.
Dont know if it was because of the cyber deals on Tuesday, but the website kept crashing, and when it was working it was painfully slow. The whole process including me deciding on what to buy should not have taken me more than an hour. The process took me 4.5 hours! I know things get busy, but the is is not acceptable. I used 4 Computers and 3 different internet connections (Cell phone, Microwave dish, and Starlink)...Wow! What the hell happened?
The discount, and a prodject that is about to start that needs this style of backgrounds and props.
I love working with Daz but the filters in te store are very limited and makes looking for something to use my coupons on a chore instead of fun, Options to restrict by price, no Daz+ items and filter by type (hair, clothes, transport etc) would make a huge difference
Daz is a great program and fun to work with, too bad the daz central is horrible whith no filters, almost no sorting, no ability to create your own sets and is fairly useless with large collections.
I didn't have a dark skinned character yet and this one was within the coupon price.
Daz is fairly easy to use with a few areas that have a steep learning curve such as using Dforce. I do wish there was easier software to develop clothing, items, poses, etc. Some products are pricey but do go on sale at some point. Site is easy to navigate, though I wish there was a way to contact creators directly for assistance.
The most obvious reason, it's payday!
I like to build my character base and explore new items and try them on all my characters and against different scenery.
Very satisfied with the service, products and sales. I have been a graphic artist for over thirty years and worked extensively with Adobe products. Then I discovered blender which eventually got me interested in 3D art and led me to Daz Studio. I downloaded Daz Studio which is free and discovered a whole new art medium to work with. The products are great and the community is wonderful when it comes to learning how to render using Daz. I am also a Platinum Club member, which I highly recommend, since it provides you with great savings, and yes there is always a sale.
Daz is the place to go to!
Working on my fantasy renders with fantasy outfits.
There is so much content that I wish there were more ways to filter and organize that content to find what I am looking for. In addition, I wish that we could rate the content and comment on it after we purchase it. There have been times when I have ordered things and went to use it and it did not work the way I wanted or there were issues with them - if others experienced similar issues I would love to be able to read about those types of things in the comments before purchasing.
I love working with Daz and bringing my creative ideas to life. I'm an artist and a roleplayer and a creator in general. Daz has enabled me to do things that I never thought I could do in the 3D realm.
I would like to be able to organise my wishlist into categories/lists like I can in Amazon etc.
So I can place an item in say "Building list" or in "medieval clothing list".
This would make organisation of the wishlist(s) a lot easier. Right now it is just a big black hole that I toss everything into and I never look at it because it is hopeless.
Thank you.
I could see a use for them for future projects that I will most likely never get around to make.
When I buy a product and click the info button in Daz Install Manager it way too often (30%) leads to an inactive page. This is very frustrating and we should really not have to experience that.
Well, only 3D-program I have beside Hexagon (which I havenøt learned how to use).
Seemed useful for getting life into renders.
Had a very good experience on the browser, product page, cart. Bad experience with the store page because I can't filter the products properly for my Wishlist items. Daz is relying on a chrome extension for filtering and it doesn't even communicate with the owner the site updates, so hundred of customers including me were left without vital filtering on the store page. I had to modify extension javascript code in order to make it work. Also the products do not contains game developers vital information like number of polygons, so for me now was a lucky day that I got a nice item I can use in my game and not have to return it.
I check it daily
It looked simple enough to fit in my game, daz is not displaying useful information for game developers in the product page so it's a game chance for us to get an item we can use in the game.
I came to see if anything that was on my wishlist was on sale and it was - but there were four items that said they 100% off "free" - great! Only when I added them to my cart, they reverted back to full price and then disappeared completely when I refreshed. Bait and switch? Dunno. One of them was Easy Char Generator for Genesis 8. You may want to fix that problem.
See if anything from my wishlist was on sale or any Valentine's related stuff was reasonable.
Price/interest
There are a lot of good offers in the DAZ Shop, including today's Gift Card offer. But there are too many sales in the DAZ Shop and so it takes too long looking through them! Could we please have fewer sales per day, to simplify things a bit? Some of the sales require looking through long sale lists of products, and this can become very tedious when there are 2 or 3 or more sale lists to look through.
I purchase from DAZ 3D almost all of the 3D components that I use to create scenes for my 3D Digital Art small business (and hobby) producing art prints and greetings cards, plus unpaid illustrations for my church etc.
I placed 2 orders today. In the 1st, I bought a Gift Card for myself, to save money via the 20% discount, also one of today's releases to qualify for this discount, and another item which this also reduced. In the 2nd order I bought 2 shader sets and a smoke item which were all reduced in the current sales; I also make use of my Holiday Loyalty Discount.
I purchased food props so that my characters can enjoy a delicious virtual Thanksgiving, and other feasts! The food looks scrumptious, and I'm sure that if my computer had "smell-o-vision" it would smell delicious!
I was a little hungry and was thinking of Thanksgiving.
I love the super discounts (especially under $3) when I can pick up things I may or may not ever get around to using. You're "regular" prices are almost always more than I want to spend, but 50% or more discounts usually help.
Very low prices.
Overall, across all my purchases, it's been really good. This time, the screen locked after "paying", so I wasn't sure if I was charged, charged twice or not at all, and if I would get them.
I tried refreshing the screen without success, then I changed "process" to "success" in the address bar, and everything looks OK.
I got my items, and I will double-check the charge shortly.
These items ideally suit some projects I'm working on.
Purchasing has (almost) always been smooth. The "almost" is quite a while ago, so recently it's been good.
Free or discounted (not too expensive), and in line with some projetcs I have set myself.
I wish I could lock in a discounted price and purchase a bit later - I haven't always had the funds available.
I am getting some quality items; OK for $0.00, but that just makes it better
Freebies in line with my current project.
Daz sales aren't stable, nor are they logical or in this mars madness sale very attractive.
And customer support, judging by the forum members, is sorely lacking. Some tickets haven't been solved in months. Besides, long-time customers like me can't even get something of many sales, as we own too much already of the DAZ assets. Which makes me not buying into 8.1 Figures, except if they are totally unique - most aren't (or extraordinaryly cheap).
Just the price, nothing else.
Buying today was frustrating. The sale with the core figures for 5,- wasn't good, as I owned them already. I discovered the included bundles, picked one, picked 7 other items from the featured artists' list, discovered that the coupon wasn't working any longer because the bundles were pulled, was so annoyed that I emptied my shopping cart immediately, because, as I wrote already, I owned all the core figures and couldn't use the coupon. Another screwed up sale.
Why do I choose Daz3d any day? Asking that myself.
The only one in my wishlist I could use my DAZ+ membership coupon on and get some value out of this day.
Too many store glitches, too complicated sales, too often something not working.
Cheapest I could get
I've used this produduct for 5 yrs. It's great! With 9 you can do from Genesis 3 up. Which is very exciting.This is wonderful it helps with my indy films, as well as my 3d art work. Thanks to the many content creaters.
It takes a real man to admit when he is wrong, and I consider myself every inch a real man. I was wrong in the negative review I left here & in how I acted towards one of the Customer Service Reps who tried to help me. In spite of my unseemly conduct, she remained courteous, respectful, and graceful "under fire" and worked with me to reach a highly satisfying conclusion. She bestowed upon me a great gift and, most importantly, restored my trust in Daz Studio in particular and humanity in general. I found out that the transactional difficulties I'd been experiencing wasn't the fault of Daz Studio or its servers, but some kind of glitch by my own "trusted" financial institution. Long story short, "eating crow" isn't a favorite pasttime of mine but it is what real adults sometimes do. Many thanks to Britney and Daz Studio!
The checkout process is great. I really like how it shows the total cost of items in the cart and then how much you saved.
I enjoy collecting the free stuff, I just wish it was easier to get started in actually using something to make something.
I came here to get the freebies. I've spent so much money on Daz 3D I feel I need to get free stuff to make it for it.
Love your stuff. Love how you've fixed and smoothed the purchase/update/reload process! Wish you would turn that same energy to metadata and searchability so it is easier to find stuff in store and personal library. Litmus: try finding every eyeglasses/spectacles model you have. I bet less than 1% show up in search results.
Detail and quality of models, versatility across kinds of render scenes, overall sense of fun and style.
Came in after 12 last night and saw a special offer, just for me. I spent 2 hours going through the store and placing items in my cart, until I was ready to spend $108. By then it was after 2 a.m., however, and the price jumped back up to over $300. I contacted the sales team to ask if they couldn't extend the offer for me, but they wouldn't even respond, so, 12 hours after I sat down to look at the offer just for me, I pulled all the items out of my cart and spent 0. I still got a bunch of freebies, but I'm not giving you one cent if that's how you treat customers who've spent over $10,000 in your store and then 2 hours shopping only to have the offer yanked mid-purchase. Good day.
You won't do the things you need to do to show customers that they matter. You think this survey makes up for the 15 years that went before?
Only came back to see what is free because the values aren't as good as they used to be.
They were free. They weren't great, but they were free. They'll go in my massive disorganized library of products including well over $10,000 of PAID purchases. Kind of shooting yourself in the foot to make it so that users who spend more money actually have to struggle to make sense of their library. Simple fixes could've addressed this years ago, but you're so busy not doing anything and listening to the wrong people that you couldn't care less.
You want to improve your business model? Include reviews of products on your pages. Add easy-to-use, user-defined tags for quick organization of library content. This crap is so easy to do, I could do it, and I haven't used my coding skills in almost 20 years. Yet your people on the forum just want to shut down attempts to discuss making the user experience easier and more practical.
It's like you guys deliberately doubled down on making DAZ studio as unintuitive as possible. Seriously. Give users the option to organize their product right in the library or hub--inside or outside of Daz Studio itself. Put a frickin' plus sign and "Tags" in an obvious and easily seen location. Allow users to input their own tags. Allow users to sort by tags. Seriously, how can your people not have already done this? Wake up. Money that was going to be yours is walking down the street because of incompetence and complacency.
I was a loyal customer for years. But more and more I don't feel like the value is there. You've made it so the tiny coupons don't really get much anymore. You've made the freebies worse and worse over the years until now it's free garbage for figures of low quality from 10+ years ago I wouldn't give to a dog. You want my monthly subscription? Time for you to start earning it again.
Came back to see if it was any better, but it's really not. In fact, it's much worse. There's a scummy feeling I get when I see you pushing NFT's like they're a great commodity, but they aren't. It's a matter of time before people wise up. All that alternative digital currency (like bitcoin) supports criminal enterprises. Makes me feel bad for the future of Daz and makes me wonder if you guys will survive the transition to Unreal and Blender that many people in the field have been making.
Just to see what freebies you have today. Your store is badly organized. Your software fails to make organizing large content libraries easy. Your people in the forums run a little elitist club and it's sickening. There are some good folks, but many old-timers are just elitists. They don't want to hear suggestions. They don't want to make improvements. They just want us to play nice and ignore everything that common sense tells us about improving Daz Studio, the store, and the products. You guys don't care about customers. You don't care about quality. Case in point, if you did, you'd have a review feature like Steam, then we'd all get a sense of what's worth our money and what isn't, but that's not how you run things. So, after being a member of PC+ for 8+ years, even during the times when I wasn't using the membership to get your crap freebies, I've walked away. I've spent somewhere between $12,000 - $15,000 at your store over all that time, but you couldn't care less. You don't even know who your big customers are. You don't know how to treat them. You don't do anything to show that you want continued business. You just offer up your products and we're just supposed to roll over and beg.
My issue concerns the filter. It used to filter out items better. I used to rummage around DAZ just looking at characters or just clothing but not it bunches it all together. Now with 9 it's worse I get men and women together. I'm looking at shoes instead of characters now. It's become annoying to find items.
On sale. Always need new hair styles. Trying out 8.1.
Pre ordered the V9 bundle during the initial live stream. I was disappointed that it took an entire day to get the items in my download yesterday and that I still didn't receive the free hair and bikini that was promised.
I watched the live stream.
I am primarily interested in new sets, landscapes that are unusual (like cliffs with caves, rocky steps, canyons, etc.) Also interested in clothing sets that are not sexy, with high heels, but more adult and sophisticated, which work in dForce in bending poses, not just standing. Also any animations, mo-cap action in Aniblock format. If its not in this format, animators have to run each animation and convert them on their own, which takes a long time.
This is usable for animation, which I need. I hope it works! I will put it through some tests to see how well it holds on G8 figures.
If you know the names of what you are looking for then finding it is very easy. If you are not sure of how something is named you can still find it but the search takes longer. Over all, 80%+ rating from me
I make renders for my enjoyment and for stories in my mind. I am just expanding on this now
THe Store has been a god send, sometimes you have to think of other names to search for things but that is a small price to pay
Personal Want
With a huge selection most of what you can think of you can find here. However you may have to enter several different names to find it. Example, to find SCARS you may have to search for WOUNDS
Personal projects
"Daz3D is completely FREE
Yes, it's free but in all of the most basic tutorials, will demonstrate how to "click here" to buy the figures for $10.95 (or more) each. ALL of the items they show, you must pay for. I think I can make a box for free and paint it solid blue. When you go to click on something, it is from a huge list of items, each one costing money. The Library of items they show (figures, clothes, props, textures, etc.) would require over $500.
The library they show you in your app were NOT downloaded; they are advertising their products. I couldn't find one free figure, so I just stopped and now I'm online, Googling around, looking for just ONE free figure that doesn't look like a 10 year old created it. That's how I ended up here.
Gain trust and grow your business with customer reviews.
As a leader in 3D technology since 2000, Daz 3D empowers 3D artists and designers with a free, comprehensive software suite and a massive 3D marketplace with over 5 million inter-compatible assets for Daz Studio and other 3D applications. We offer hobbyists and professionals the tools they need to create high-quality 3D renders and animations featuring customizable content that can be exported anywhere.
Daz 3D believes in an artist-friendly approach, paying over $100 million to our global network of contributing artists. Our users create more than 20 million images and animations annually using Daz 3D’s premium selection of products. With over 4 million downloads, Daz continues to drive efforts at the forefront of digital creativity and expression.
I'm sorry to hear that has been your experience and perspective. While it is true that there is a large amount of content for purchase, there is also content available for free. Specifically, at http://www.daz3d.com/free-3d-models where Daz 3D makes 13 free items available per week. These rotate out each week. As for the quality of free figures, there are examples such as: http://www.daz3d.com/gallery/images/53004/ which is an image created by a Daz user by following one of the tutorials and using entirely free content.
Again, I do understand that if your intention is to get into an entirely free hobby, that you might feel frustrated that by far most of the content is available for purchase rather than free. But we do feel that making a 3D Software suite, the only free software anywhere that makes Iray rendering capabilities available to people, is a pretty big deal. Add to that the free content that is made available with the application, and on the website (at the url above) every week, and it seems like a unique opportunity for someone to start creating art in 3D and get some experience for free.
I do not disagree with your point however, that if one intends to continue this as a serious hobby, or to become a professional artist, that they would need to spend some money to do so.
