Poser - OFFICIAL F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2024 Dec 22 10:18 pm)
Has anyone got and installed this yet? Does the upgrade install ask for the original skeleton object? I have it from the PC renewel last time but it's not installed. I don't want it as well as the new version and if I need to install the old one too, may splash out $2.98 and get the full new version. Sorry for repetition, it's VERY late here and I'm tired ;)
its a real steal :) I wonder if I can actually figure out what I paid for Bryce 5.5/// I know the price was 19.xx....but... considering the combo of PC payments, PC discounts for the bundle thing whatever that was to get the 30% off Bryce 5.5, and paying for it, PC 30% discount, vouchers, and whatever else fanagliing that goes on.... jeece....I may have pair $200 for it...I'm really not suree :) but the skele is pretty cheap...and I still have that 50% off coupon for buying B5.5 ... good until the 17th ....

And need them I did! I had to selve a Halloween project last year because I couldn't afford the 70-or-so bucks for the articulated Daz skeleton and the standard one wasn't detailed enough. That project gets dusted off and I might have it ready for this Halloween. =) The Eastern Dragon will work perfect for a pic I'm doing right now so getting everything for the low price was indeed a bargain.
I think the "BRYCE" Sale for "poser" items stinks for Platinum Club members! I "pay" to get the best prices for all poser items and do not need BRYCE either, I would not feel this way if they offered a 90% off on their BRYCE textures or terrains. I think the 90% should include Platinum Club members also. Does anyone else feel that way?
thinking about it, its a great deal for buyers of Bryce 5.5, although the figure is not a Bryce figure..its a D|S or Poser figure..... But I think DAZ is integrating, or hopes to integrate, and sell Bryce as a complement to DS, more so than the other way around, and is trying to get more and more folks to buy Bryce, which will then expose more folks to DS as well... smart marketing. They already have most of the PC folks hooked....they're trying to reel in the Bryce people that don't have Poser.

I was just on the site and Platinum Club members pay 9.78 for textures and 14.68 for skeleton upgrades. Not too bad, but, I must say I dont like this new direction, I also have vue infinite, and frankly for me that
s enough, it`s easy to get carried away with these softwares, I have BRYCE 5 and have recently decided to stick with 1 scenery generator, upgrading all these things gets costly :).
I wish I could afford Vue Infinite. It looks like tha perfect landscape generator..the vegetation appears to be really good. And it still imports Poser content.
I'm about ready to drop DAZ, or the PC club anyway. There are savings, but the savings end up with a lot of cash spent :) edited to say...if I would stay out of DAZ, I could afford Vue Infinite in a short period of time

kim258 - there were a fair few brycers who felt the same way you do back when bryce 5.5 pricing was originally announced - people in the PC club (predominantly a poser user group) were getting a discount on bryce5.5 ..... which is kind of the opposite to whats going on now - bryce user/owners getting a discount on poser content. I tend to agree with Dave-so - its an interesting marketing idea at trying to get bryce users perhaps to buy more poser/DS stuff (assuming that they aren't already buying poser content). I just wish I could see some sales numbers and statistics to actually see how successful these sorts of marketing ideas are (curiosity value).

Wow, Bryce 5.5 must really be selling badly in order for DAZ to promote it in such a way. I've just returned Bryce 5.5 and even this sale isn't going to tempt me to re-buy it. I haven't seen a more dissapointing product then Bryce 5.5 in years. To me it's been a waste of money and looks like DAZ is just trying to trick people into buying some piece of junk in order to get something else. I also stopped being a pc member at DAZ a while ago. With all of these promotions DAZ is running lately (march madness, opening pc club for a limited time to every one and so on), it's a waste of money to be a pc member. They've double crossed pc members a lot of times by now, it's just not worth being a pc member anymore.

DAZ working hard to catch up? I don't think so. Personally I do think they'll never catch up. It took them almost a year to get Bryce 5.5 out, after pushing the release date further and further over a period of 7 months or so. In this year they've hardly accomplished anything at all. They improved the render speed, but that's only for a select number of pc's, a lot of people do not experience the rendering speed increase at all, but rather a decrease. Secondly they've integrated D/S into Bryce, they promised not to do so, but did it anyway. Third new feature they've added is OpenGL additions. The rest are some minor improvements and bug fixes, but you can count those easily on two hands...... All of this has taken them almost a year and speaking programming wise these are just minor improvements. The real catching on has still to start. so if minor improvements already take a year how long will the real improvements take? I wouldn't place my bet on DAZ at all, they don't seem to be holding the best cards at all. Of course some will like D/S better then Poser and others will like Vue over Bryce, that's a personal taste. But if we really compare all them as applications (without personal preference and taste), Poser 5/6 and Vue 5 (not even mentioning Vue 5 Infinite) are much better then Bryce 5/5.5 and DAZ Studio are. Bryce and D/S are applications from the past, Poser and Vue are up to date applications.

D|S is a weird bird to use. I did go gangbusters when DAZ originally released it for alpha then beta...gave the first 3 or 4 versions a go, but just didn't like it. Now that its so tightly integrated with Bryce, I figured I would give it a real try last night, and it is indeed cumbersome, especially for scene setup. The interface needs to be brightened up...maybe its possible to change the colors in preferences???? bringing the stuff into Beyce works well, but you cannot do it if you need to change something because it deletes the previous stuff...so its all or nothing...or you can break an objects ling to DS, but then you can't change it anymore. That linkage thing needs to be changed somehow...or perhaps a check in the attributes box where you can link and unlink at will to only bring back and forth what you want at that moment.

DAZ has new skeletons out. They conform to V3 and M3, and have ERC spines.
They're also have a "Bryce Madness" promotion. If you bought Bryce 5.5, they'll send you a coupon that lets you buy the skeletons for $3. $1.50 if you own the previous skeleton (which most PC members should).
