there are no thread wars, only wishes to something new and hopefully better.

called evolution, we just expect more to do with a program now, then 10 years ago.

changes run to slow when the technology is ready but still to expensive.

there are so many reasons why people get banned.

if you ask to much about complete anatomical meshes on daz forum (gens you know)

banned

people are getting frustrated, because people don't know how to work with the daz software. fully understandable as there is no good pdf manual how you need to work with the daz programs. the beginning stuff is easy and you don't need a manual for how to pose a figure. but once you would start with more novice to master things

Many problems daz could avoid,

by communicate better with the customers, community.

like full manuals ready with the launch of a program, more manuals and info would also fix the problem of unnecessary and abundant false bug reports. Is less useless work for developers and more time they can spend on something new.**
**

There are not enough good references only try and error. How you create your own figures for dazstudio, sculpt, model, rig, animate and render. Where is all that info?

Do you have to search all this in the forum? Where most people also don't know how you do this. That's what people getting frustrated from, poor info how you do it.

3d noobs, newbies would like to do more after a while then only pose and put cloth on a figure but without any good info, tutorials, manuals this is very hard.

interrupt commercial threads, this one i found normal. people shouldn't do this so i feel fine with that block.

but sometimes people sound rude, or negative but they don't mean it in the bad way. They only want to make some things more clear how else it could be.

As long as daz can take lessons from negative comments to make something positive in the near future. that negative comment was progressive and a new step to improvements it is useful for al daz people.

I personally think daz soon will stop development of carrara.

after bryce and hexagon, carrara wil be the next step.

only daz main program dazstudio is what counts to them.

bryce = now infinito in dazstudio

hexagon = opensource blender

carrara = all you can do with blender

carrara will be replaced by a new and better dazstudio soon or later

but it's only one of my personal views,  I not would start thread wars with this message.

Quote - I'll agree on the EULA, there is a site I download 3DS models from, you have to agree to their EULA before you can download. Quite simple really, I click on the freebie I want, the eula pops up, I click agree, and it starts the download.

I have a bad opinion of DAZ, and I share it freely. Which is funny, except for 1 person most of the DAZ folk are good people, it just doesn't come through in the company.

Actually I was banned for starting a thread complaining about the censorship. Although it does look like the forum has relaxed a bit, it was pretty bad there for a while, mostly during my ban. Although I doubt it has changed enough for me to post there like I used to. The world is yeng and yang, up and down, in and out, light and dark, good and evil, can't have one with out the other, except on the DAZ forum ;)

Actually I'm a nice guy with a really bad attitude :lol:

if it can be some consolation.

many people are blocked without any good reasons on daz the past year.

all the old loyal customers with too much negative comment > banned

Daz is working on it's own demise!

With WM V4 and soon WM M4, people do not need daz anymore.

It's all in the hands of daz to change the handling to his customers.

Do not ignore any negative comments from your users, but learn from it!

customer is king, the one and only golden rule.

Wow, did daz banned Manlystanly ??? 

Daz like only good comments to the forum.

If comments sound to negative, you get banned.

they lose customers, many people disagree and express their opinions

in what they expect from daz.

the best example I can give the clamor for good daz3d pdf software manuals.

people do just not know how to work away with their software.

and that is daz biggest problem!

a mistake that they make and was easy to avoid.

people it isn't daz vs poser anymore. anno 2012 it is poser and dazstudio against opensource blender. (physics, rigging, lux render, and more..) all you can do with Blender. What can you do with the pro versions of poser and studio? and where is poser and daz software anno 2012? many features are still missing for a professional character studio. stop the milkcow concept from 3d noobs with old 3d software.

it isn't daz vs poser anymore, it is against opensource Blender.

ok, i just see the goz video on daz channel.

missed that one.

sorry

thx anyway

Quote - There are a number of videos on the CCTs, they should be in the DAZ YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/WWWDAZ3DCOM

yes, but that are only basic videos.

like i said, most vids are  how you load a model, how you pose a model, how you place a new light, how you put hair on a figure.

What I would like to see more advanced videos like,

How do i create a mermaid for genesis?  (new bones rig,...)

how u use GOZ?

how u load new meshes into genesis?

how u create new uv and uv presets for new genesis figures (like the v4, m4 maps)?

please ask the daz guys for more advanced tutorials.

thx

are there manuals for it?

DS3 manual teach people only the basic things.

like how people can pose, put hair on a figure.

that's what most people know by now.

I like to see more, much more!

Thx for the wiki links, but It is not practical to learn from it.

Any pdf manuals or tutorial vids?

I see you are the daz admin, can you contact the daz guys (developers or?) and ask for more advanced & pro manuals please?

How else can we start and create new content & figures for daz?

Should the daz content creation secrets just be known only by a few?

still useless if you would do animations, without floor collision detection to genesis mesh.

genesis figure feet move true the terrain generated plain mesh.

but there is hope :)

yeah only optitex,   daz biggest mistake!

even marvelous designer will do better!

I have no problems with DS4 pro, it works well and it is just a pre-release.

daz can not fail again and loose more customers.

DS4 is still a mistake for now!  released way to soon! just to start the daz milk cow.

just another unfinished dazprogram.  sell first then repair = bad business.

Remember Carrara 8? still no manual for it, still nasty bugs.

& they think of Carrara 9. probably without a manual too :cP

DS4 userinterface, is a no GO! why the daz guys waste there time on new interface.

DS3 interface was good! better spent the time on new tools.

who was the daz team idiot, with this idea?
the autofit tool, it only work half/ half. impossible to use it for shoes, boots, with morphs.

still no dynamic cloth creation tool,  Daz promised it's users this tool 2 years ago.

optitex is just one $$$ making optitex case.

no cloth creation by other users possible without cloth creation tool.

remember guys no Animation features in dazstudio Advanced 4.

all the animators who thought to make funny movies, forget it!

daz people have said that this probably only occurs from DSA5

What a waiste om my 3d time guys,

Hope the new poser program do much better and more professional.
