Yeah, V4 isn't a "biggest announcement ever" type of deal...
Maybe they've sucessfully cloned Stonemason!?
Woo!
Nope it's not V4, I asked in the chat last night at the Zone. It's a nice idea and I like that it's like MySpace but for artists to meet, greet, share and work projects together.
They DO allow nudity and all the other adult stuff but you have to go into your Basic prefs and at the bottom of the page uncheck the boxes that say Do NOT view violent images, Do NOT view nude images & Do NOT view controversial images. I might be wrong but I have viewed a couple of really graphic images so far, it's certainly NOT as prudish as the main DAZ forums are!! They may be testing this as well to see if the Zone would be a good replacement for their own forums (did you ever think about that?)(hmmmm?). Galleries are bigger, better and allow for more content. The forums are OK and will expand as needed, the chat room is a blast, blogs are there and you can even use your profile to meet folks for what ever your in to besides art.
It's a good idea so don't trash it unless you've given it a good try first!! :closedeyes: Also keep in mind there are ALLOT of bugs that need to be squashed still. It's a new set up so be patient and if something is not working then bring it to their attention, that's how bugs get squashed. It was supposed to be opened to just the PC members but that changed once a few X PC members got invites by accident so now it's pretty much open door for everyone as long as you have an invite to get in and each new member gets a number of invites to..... invite others!! :woot:
As for the big announcement I mentioned that it had to be a new program since it didn't seem to be a new figure and then it just didn't get talked about. So I'm thinking DAZ has got a new something up their sleeves. Maybe Bryce 6 or maybe they are blending DAZ Studio and Bryce together..... you never know!!
