Sigh ...i read half way through this forum post and got fed up i mean people get a grip here take a chill pill daz has stated in there D|S forum and lots of other places that the Daz|Studio program will remain Free and that they plan on makeing money from the Plugins made for it by selling them. the rendering engine is limited because daz has yet to buy a the rights for a final daz version the rendering engine is in beta and made by a diffrent company so it is time limited. The content is ONLY limited when it is in DEMO format! and to the person that talked about someone who gets a free version and then gets all kinds of stuff for it just to find out that they have to pay for the orignal model;...WELL DUH 1 if ya do something like that you are a bit STUPID! sorry that was a bit harsh but true you are always told ahead of time that in item is a demo release and that it is time limited if you then go and buy all kinds of products for it your a moron! you all seem to be gietting into a tizzy over this this is a BETA release the Final version will be well tested and made to our satasfaction that is why they are doing this beta testing this was if you dont like something about it dont just say "huff i dont like it ill never use it" if you do that then you have no right to complain at all!" you are suppose to go oveer to the bug submit thingie ant tell them what you like what you dont and what needsfixing you can also post it on the D|S forum at the daz3D site. if you arnt going to try to make this program the best it can be. then dont gripe about! i for one think it is comming along nice it gets better every release the gfx engine is beautiful i love the fact that in D|S when you move a morph dial you dont get jettery and it jumps from .005 to 55.000 like poser does and the fact that the transparencys are always there makes it so much easier to morph the hair and to see what it looks like when it is finnished without rendering the only complaint i have is when inporting a saved poser sceene the lights and camaras are all screwed up the lights are more like haveing 100 suns around your figure and it all looks black and none of the imported camaras work at all but i for one have brought this to the attention of daz and i do have a right to complaine lol just my 50 cents worth
