Yea, that Shader Builder looks intimidating (and I don't like that node concept in general, so...).
Haha another thread gone south
, sorry about that
, and tks Richard for chiming in;)
and remember it only applies to DAZ studio
a shader can actually mean anything in other softwares
Carrara it is what you call a material for example
the actual definition of the word is even more limited

I don't know about other people, but I have mental inertia when trying to use the term "D|S". Perhaps it would be easier if they renamed the product "D'Esse" or "Diesse". At least it's a name and not just two letters with an unpronouncable "|" thing in the middle.
And besides, anything sounds classier in French. Even in mock French.
And the argument against a simple "DS" is that it's too generic. After all, DS could be an acronym for canine poo.
And now that I've pulled that out of the air, I will forever be thinking it whenever I use it.
Yeah, "Diesse" is much classier.

Stustustudio!
For the younglings:
Every concievable variation I could think of involving studio has been used. In my opinion, a new name would require a complete shift from generic terms associated with creativeness.
Maybe following a bugs bunny theme the Promethean Acme Atelier for 3D (PAA3).
Everytime I see "seperate" chills run up my back. Yet another word fallen prey to mispronunciation.
It's so easy to remember that there is "a rat" in "separate".
It's [sep-a-rate] not [seper-ate]
Studaz?
Rhymes with a naughty Italian expression, but then everything probably rhymes with a naughty expression in some language.
What do the words "Blender", "Carrara" or "Hexagon" have to do with creativity? Or for that matter, "Maya" or "Lightwave"? "Diesse" is just as obscure and perhaps even more unique.
Blenders are artists' (among others) tools, Carrara is a variety of marble used for sculpting (so 3D creative). Hexagon was so named because the developers (Eovia) were French, but of course it's also a basic geometric shape and so relevant to 3D modelling.
NVIATWAS 3D?
Yes... Like the guy who was writing an official product manual and used Google to translate words he didn't know... Still doesn't understand, what's the problem with "muff" - He still thinks it's proper translation for a threaded socket
oh dear
I stick my hands in mine when I am cold
This will surely enrage my fellow grammar nazis, it's a recent newspaper article from the UK which explains why the full stop (or period, if you prefer) is falling out of use by the 'younger generation' because they see it as a symbol of aggression.
Full stops have become the latest casualty of youthful sensitivity as experts say they can be “intimidating”.
As teenagers and those in their early twenties, Generation Z, have grown up with phones in their hands, using short messages to communicate with one another, and the punctuation mark has fallen out of fashion and become a symbol of curt passive-aggression.
Linguists have been debating the use of the full stop and why some young people interpret a correctly punctuated text as a sign of annoyance.
Some argued that the full stop had become redundant, as a text was now ended simply by sending it, and the sentence did not need to be finished with a punctuation mark.
Linguist Dr Lauren Fonteyn tweeted “If you send a text message without a full stop, it’s already obvious that you’ve concluded the message. So if you add that additional marker for completion, they will read something into it and it tends to be a falling intonation or negative tone.”
If I send a text message (and I rarely do), it is sent with correct spelling and punctuation (inevitable typos excepted). Am I old?
I admit to leaving off fullstops when typing on my ipad touchscreen, my previous post is an example, largely because it's awkward unlike something written with a pen and I am not submitting it to a professional destination such as a work client etc.
Effects: sound of pitchfork being sharpened
good my heavy clay soil needs turning over, oh wait ...
Hmmm... Finding it hard to get any real work done with that mental image
I can't say anything about physical age, but mentally You're younger than me, as I don't even have a mobile or smartphone to send text messages with, which I could send with correct spelling and punctuation to frustrate the everlasting **** out of modern age's youth.
On the other hand, we don't usually add full stops to titles or headings since their limits are clear. I can see why a text message would be the same (and in fact I rarelty add a final full stop in chats, though I will use them before the end if the text contains more than one sentence).
Well, if one's writing skills are limited to single sentences at a time I can see the point or absence of point (pun intended). But for those of us who have more than one thought at a time and can string them together into paragraphs, there is purpose in the point.
And don't forget the double space before the beginning of the next sentence. And fie on the text tool that automatically squeezes out double spaces between sentences.
Maybe, but you're also civilized. Heck, I even consider it a courtesy. Also, I still hand write some messages in cursive.
Okay yes! That should be the new name for DAZ Studio. Let us harken back to the era of clean and simple scene design.
We could pronounce it " n - via - twaz - 3D" It even goes well when paired with nvidia.
"Envy it was" ?
Eh, I'll delete my response, it would just get people arguing again and thinking I'm something I'm not.
But use periods when typing multiple sentences for heaven's sake.
One could be more efficient and only communicate via emoji, gifs, and memes.
Explain that statement with only emojis, gifs, & memes.
