    I'm sadly very disappointed. I've been seeing a lot about NFTs lately, but just not seeing the benefit to my life. Besides, I already have a DAZ product addiction. I don't need another one.

    Jason

    PS. As of right now, the DAZ collection is going for .22 ETH or roughly $404.39, WOW! I think the images are cool, but not that cool.

    Bad idea. Poorly executed. Poorly communicated.

    This is going to go the same direction as the DAZ Print Your Models thing and the DAZ Clip Art shop.

    Print your models made sense 

    Not for the price and effort involved. Did anyone actually do it? Because if they had, I'd imagine DAZ would still be offering it.

    Unless you mean that that idea made sense in comparison to this idea. :)

    Which 3D print? There was a service which allowed people to buy prints of a limited number of (pre-posed as I recall) characters diect from Daz (fulfilled by a third party, of course), which vanished; there is the later service, with associated plug-in, in which the whole intraction is with a third-party - as far as I am aware that is still available.

    A long-time fan of Shudu and Cameron’s work, Ama, a beauty, fashion, art and culture journalist, was compelled to take on the voice and craft Shudu’s soul. To Ama, Shudu is real, and she wants her to be as real to everyone else too.

    I'm laughing so hard my sides hurt.

    How can I break into Digital Model Voice Acting/Soul Crafting business?

    I really wish Daz would hire a marketing survey company to poll its users for what we want. I've never in my life seen a more tone deaf company that ignores its own user base. This whole NFT thing is just another glaring example of it.

    I still want to find a voice actress for my Sahmika one day, so anything's possible Ch1ggs. Plus, Sahmika has...facial expressions.  ;)

    You have to bid in Ethereum, which goes for about $1,800.

    At a guess, I'd say that most people are excited about updates and improvements to Daz Studio, and new content to (one day) render. This NFT stuff? Not so much.

    Perhaps calculation of the NFT's took longer than expected, due to lack of hardware power. The gamers and 3D artists are using all that precious modern hardware and the poor miners have to  rely on old hardware or pay a fortune for a decent card... 

    If only that were so... frown

    No offense intended, Richard, but you are missing the point I was making.

    It frustrates me to no end that DAZ3D would be wasting resources on these projects that are forgotten as quickly as they are adopted...  When there are so many more meaningful things those resources could be going towards.

    Say fixing the website / storefront, since the search is still broken. Fixing the forum. Fixing the content library managemen. Investing in customer support and quality control.

    Instead the resources are swirled down this fad that will go no where.

    I'm sorry for sounding so combative, but I've sat through meetings like this where some middle management puke or recently acquired VP has this "brilliant idea" that they want everyone to start working on immediately. I can't count how many of those meetings I just stood up and walked out on.

    Is anybody bidding on this? I can't tell. Do I need to have a wallet to see that?
  • Seven193Seven193 Posts: 1,111

    NFTs are unique, correct?  So, if you sell a NFT, it can't be purchased again by anyone else.

    So, explain to me how you can have a shop, where the items can only be sold once?  The shop wouldn't last very long, right?

    Kind of reminds me of those adverts you sometimes see on Ebay, like..  "one inch nail  a bit rusty and slightly bent, but plenty of life left in it  only £5"

    Someone said there are bids, but I can't see them either. DAZ apparently owns two of them now? (they now say 'not for sale').

     

    EDIT: bids are now appearing under each item. Hm.

    Anyone noticed the new menu bar entry between "Shop" and "Technology"? Seems DAZ want to go NFT large style....

    Well, now that all the issues with sales and quality control have been sorted out, they're off to seek new horizons. 

    Do you mean the QC where they do eradicate all issues before product release, or do you mean the QC where they fix every broken product within one hour? Just asking.

    Some say they come with assets (not that I'm going to bid) but I can't find anywhere that lists which assets are included. Would be the least cost effective way to buy Daz products ever, but you'd think it'd be listed somewhere.

    It would have been better as an elaborate April fools joke.

    It is described in the "Details" section. Not too great. You can unlock a full 1080p video, or get a 1to1 with Cameron Wilson.

    If that was correct, how would an antique shop do business? They sell their antiques, and then the get a load more to sell, which I guess is what DAZ will do if/when their current batch of NFTs sell out.

    Can't say I am as bothered about all this as some people (apart from the enviromental impact of course). Whilst I personally have less than zero interest in buying this stuff, if others do, I guess that is more money for the artists/DAZ to invest in other stuff that I do like. I just hope the NFT stuff remains separate from the standard store so that I can happily ignore it.

    Jesus. One of them is going for over $500.

    Which is exactly why I am spending the morning deleting my DAZ Gallery.

    Do I think my images would ever be used by DAZ for this endeavour? Not really.

    But I have never been so disilluioned in this hobby before this morning.

  • SnowSultanSnowSultan Posts: 3,643

    Jason, DAZ would need to ask your permission before doing anything anyway. No need to go fleeing the store, best to just ignore this and keep making art like 99% of us will.

  • Serene NightSerene Night Posts: 17,676

    I can't even see it. The page just has wheels that spin. Plus now the forums are hard to reach.

  • SnowSultanSnowSultan Posts: 3,643

    That's one thing I'm not worried about. Individuals may try to sell our art without our permission, but DAZ would have to post a notice saying that anything in the galleries may be used as NFTs before doing such a thing, and everyone would pull their art.

  • SeraSera Posts: 1,675
    Actually, don't you give Daz the right to do as they please with your art when you post it? They already use it to make money via advertising.
  • SeraSera Posts: 1,675
    Can we get a mod to clarify whether Daz can sell gallery entries without our permission? Not whether they will, but whether they can. The distinction is important, since they could change thier mind at any time.
  • SeraSera Posts: 1,675
    Where can I find the gallery TOS???

    Yeah, It's been up for an hour now and I'm still having problems getting the new NFT sites to fully load. Not sure what's happening on DAZ's end, but the rollout clearly isn't going according to plan.

    the license says:

    Ownership. Under this Addendum, DAZ acquires only a right to use the User Creative pursuant to the terms hereof, and does not acquire any title or ownership of the User Creative. Except as provided in this Addendum, User retains all rights in, title to, and ownership of the User Creative. Other than its rights in the User Creative, User shall have no right, title, ownership or other interest in any Combined Work.

    so no, they can't sell your art as I understand that (and I think it's pretty unambiguous).
