I think when DAZ introduced Connect and DRM, their marketing people blundered badly. First, they conflated the two features, leading people to believe that they would have to use DRM'd stuff if they downloaded using Connect. But worse, some foolish marketing person seems to have thought 'the cloud' was a positive and attractive buzzword, even though it was technically inaccurate; and people inferred, not unreasonably, from this usage that Connect was an always-on phone-home you-don't-really-possess-the-stuff-you-bought disaster in the making. By the time DAZ did damage control and stopped using 'cloud' and made the effort to correct people's misconceptions, the damage was done.
'DRM' is kind of misleading, too. It's really just encryption. But I still don't buy any encrypted products. I can wait a year.
Thread: What happened to Daz Studio 4.5 ? | Forum: DAZ|Studio
I already had a 'canary in the coal mine' boot partition (Mac Lion; mostly I still run Snow Leopard) and so deployed DS 4.5 there. With limited testing, it seems to be stable; haven't crashed it yet. And it does 'feel' faster, but I may not be pushing it hard enough to tell. I'm cautiously optimistic, and hope to find some time to play with it more.

Attached Link: Digital Lighting and Rendering (2nd Edition)
I found Jeremy Birn's book on digital lighting and rendering full of information that a newbie like me can use right away, as well as professional-level techniques. One nice thing about the book is that it is very 'platform agnostic' - it discusses techniques, not particular software tools.This site uses cookies to deliver the best experience.
