It is basically DIM (Daz Install Manager) updated. It only shows Daz purchased content.

I think it also shows things that go with what you already own. Like a texture set for a clothing or hair product that you may want to add to your collection. It's a marketing tool for DAZ3D, it helps them more than it helps you.

So an app that seeks to make installation and management of content of Daz 3D assets easier for the end user is purely a marketing tool? Judging by the many, many questions here in the Renderosity forums about installation of assets and also the sale here of third party apps to manage asset installation. I would say this free app is something many users would find useful and has some interesting features that may make it an improvement on DIM for some. Honestly I think your comment "it helps them more than it helps you." reveals more about your own personal opinions then it reveals anything about Daz 3D or Daz Central.

I beg to differ...Daz3D is in the business of generating revenue. Always has been. The fact that they come up with an app that seemingly benefits the consumer is coincidental to their primary objective. I didn't say there was anything wrong with that process. I've been a daz studio user since day one, and I still use it on a daily basis. But I was trying to answer the OP, and probably failed in that attempt. So I will try again.. NO, Daz Central will NOT show content other than what is available from their store. I mean, what kind of a business move would that be??
