Quote - we need digitaltutors for learning :)

reason why daz launched studio for free, because the lack of documentation.

think there is no other reason, it's a shame that this problem happen to any daz program as carrara have no manual too. what a pitty. :$

carrara pro should be free too, as it lacks of documentation and full of errors.

 

Stop the tiral & error proces daz! only sell programs that are out of beta testing and have all the documentation that's needed!

DAZ has stated from the very beginning of DAZ Studio that there would be a free  version as long as it was feasible.  When DS4 was first released there was a basic version available for free.   As to why DAZ is offering the pro version for free...I can see several reasons why (to attract new users, to get more users creating content, DAZ is being nice...), but it's not because of lack of documentation.

 

As for "paid for" tutorials...I'm willing to pay for them because the creator has taken the time to delve into the nooks & crannies of a program to pull out tidbits of info and put them in a clear & concise format that people can understand without a lot of hair pulling.  ;)
