Here is what you get if you download all 3:

BTW, this is a SALE for on month per the announcement in the forums...

Which forum did you see this?  I went on Daz and prices were regular.  No free software.

I don't trust facebook posts because of possible viruses scams.  If you direct me to the forum, not facebook I will click on your link.  Scams direct you to a page that looks legit and woe to you if you bite.

I gave you the link to the store above :)

Here is the forum link:  http://forum.daz3d.com/viewtopic.php?t=182532

lol pappy i don't blame you about the viral links in facebook but seriously if W.Keith Hill posts something like this as status then i've already checked double checked and even already got it all lthe way through the purchase process and recieved the product dl links b4 i post it

Gosh! Hope I didn't ruffle anyones feathers.  Didn't mean to.  The total value of the packages raised a warning flag to me especially when I went to Daz site and there was nothing visible about the free items.  yet when I clicked on 3Doutlaws link the free page came up.

I have since downloaded Studio Pro, checked it with Norton and am enjoying it.  Thank you for the heads up 3Doutlaw.

Please accept my apologies if I offended anyone

nope no offence taken just lettin you know if i post it in facebook i've already gone through the paces b4 i post it that's all so you'll know at least one link in facebook that is not BS viral lol

DAZ has a presence on facebook.  They frequent that site more often than their own.

Thanks!

Betcha Daz5 is in the works. Daz4 was the worse upgrade they ever made. I had requested my money back shortly after purchase.

DS3 was their Windows XP

DS4 was their Vista

Maybe DS5 will be their Windows 7 but DS4 lifecycle can't be over and DS5 if it's planned is probably a year away at the very least.

In the mean time they're giving away Bryce Pro, DS4 Pro, Hexagon 2.5 & Bridge and that would normally go for about $1200.00 US, now it's free until the end of the momth so get you some!

I'm guessing sales of Genesis products have been less than spectacular. Probably sales of DS4 Pro. Giving more people exposure to Genesis might be a good business move. I had the free version of Daz, but hadn't looked at it. This made me look. Earned Daz a sale of Genesis products. Daz might in fact be fighting for survival. DS5 might be a moot point.

"I had the free version of Daz, but hadn't looked at it."  Still will be the case with most noobs  that are looking for the thrills of a free download. Whoopdee!

I'm gonna ask for my $400 back.

...again with the negativity, and in the Daz Forums?

I switched to Poser when Genesis came out, but to be honest, I am so tired of people on "this side" complaining and whining, I am ready to spend my time back there.  (and use both DS and Poser, since I think they both have cool features in their own way)

Out.

Ok.... enough with the Daz Bashing folks.

I've downloaded the DAZ 4 Pro files , but , and it could be me being very stupid, I cannot see how to install them. The only executable files appear to be the addons and in Windows XP right clicking on the DAZ Studio 4 file doesn't give the option to expand the file.

Can anyone help?

It may have lost the extension, that's happened to several people. Just edit the name, typing .exe as the end, and OK it when Windows asks if you are sure.

I have added  .exe to the file and have got it installed. Many thanks.

I encountered a couple of small problems during installation, described below, in case anybody else encounters the same.

• At the start of the installation, a dialog box appeared saying that the installer had encountered a problem, and giving me the option of sending a report, which if actioned, closed the installer. However, it can be moved to one side, the underlying installation dialog is still active and the installation can be completed.
• The installed program was the standard DS4 and required the serial number, sent separately by e-mail, to release the PRO plugins. It took me a bit of time to find that this could be done under the registration tab in the Help menu.

Yeah, mine d/l'd with no extension - added .exe to it and all was good - installed and working fine. Now All I have to do is figure out how to use it! LOL

These links may help. The first is to a series of video tutorials, the other to a draft manual for DS4 which is far from complete.
