I neither why I would want to buy these "NFT" nor why I would get me "ETH" to pay for them...
I'm too old for this ....
Anyone who went school and grew up before the internet and windows existed, knows better than to fall for this.
So... (Someone had to say it)
Is that a Hedgehog in your pocket, or are you glad to see me?
..Joe
And...
All this Diigitals hullabaloo reminds me of when DAZ first offered Dynamic Clothing. Lots of hype followed by a massive "Meh," when it performed horribly, and sold worse. (BTW A-MG and Reby Sky also sold as badly.)
I doubt most people can even name the Isreali company they hired to create it.
..Joe
Ugh. Reby Sky. Now that brings back bad memories.
Waste of a good cabbage - Throw Parsnips!
"Time to Let Go + Unlockable" is $110.02.
It features a woman staring out a window. Her hair sways and her hand wafts like it's underwater. But her eyes literally don't blink and it doesn't look like she's breathing. Weird artistic choices there.
(It's a 16 second video. You're supposed to blink every 4 seconds. She blinks 0 times)
Aside from the blinking, it's not even a proper animation. The hair moves, but the reflected hair doesn't. Looks like a PhotoMirage animation.
yes. 5 to spend out of 400
. South of Germany here 
This is an amazing phrase, how have I never heard of this?!
Other than that, this whole NFT thing is a joke. OTOH I am kinda relieved it's nothing I have to bother with ^^;
Talking about "empowering artists" what comes to my mind is that in the meantime... MetaHumans is just around the corner...
Good catch.
Which needs an even more powerful machine than Daz Studio. Better to go with Human Generator for Blender.
I don't even understand what that is. I assumed it was some sort of character creation app, like one used in a video game but with no game attached.
Unless we're going the route of that Bruce Willis movie...what was it called...'Surrogates'...which it sounds like that's what the crpyto-peeps are hoping for.
Looks like someone wants to buy-in. There are two bids on Shudu NFTs, both by the same guy. He owns a couple of other NFTs: Two he made, one it looks like he got for free, and one he bought for $165. The one he bought includes an unlockable "luxury avatar shirt" for something called Genies which is in the business of avatars I guess. The digital shirt features a "signature" from Shawn Mendes, who is a Canadian singer.
...I should really get off the forums and get back to rendering or something.
we don't belong here, that has been made clear
I have been rendering and setting stuff up this whole time BTW and looking at the forum as things rendered, for the last 10 hours
on two computers, and downloaded stuff from Unreal
not just looking at the forum
Metahumans are the upcoming next-gen human figures for Unreal Engine, and while some think they will be competition for DAZ, others (myself included) think they're primarily going to be for game creation and mocap animations. Unreal content is expensive and almost never goes on sale, it's unlikely to be something artists here can simply switch to easily.
I actually had a render ready to go that I finished setting up late last night. It's rendering now. I finished my book yesterday too. So I guess it's time to look for another book.
As I said in another post in another thread, Meta Human is very system intensive, even more so than Daz Studio is. The better route is Human Generator for Blender. Of course, there is Character Creator from Reallilusion, but it's more geared toward animation rather than static images, as is Meta Human.
I have no opinions on NFT's, I'm a "wait and see what happens on NFT's" in general. I am educated on them, I just haven't formed an opinion on them one way or the other yet. For those that want to know more about them from a 3d artist view Blender Guru - the guy who is famous for his doughnut tutorial has done several videos about them recently. https://www.youtube.com/user/AndrewPPrice/videos
However the bottom part of that quote above about Daz values copyright I can tell you from experience is 100% correct. I completely trust them with my art. I don't work for daz, the promos I do are hired by the vendors, not daz. They use my artwork from the galleries sometimes around daz for free per the TOU. If they want to use something outside the TOU they will contact you, ask permission 1st and pay you. They will NOT steal your work. Again, I'm speaking from experience.
I don't get this? What are you actually buying??? A 3D model character? or a Picture?
How do you pronounce diigitals? Is it diiiiiigitals or diig-Itals or what?
It's pretty much exactly the same thing as those "name a star" services. You pay to have them send you a certificate with the name of the star on it, and now the star is Officially Yours. This is not in any way enforceable or verifiable, but if you're like, seven years old it's fun to show people your star certificate.
If you're over 25 and desperate for the technological singularity to happen in your lifetime because everything else feels hollow, you can purchase an NFT and show people that the artist said the file associated with it is Officially Yours.
Neither, it's a token which acts as a certificate of authenticity pointing to a piece of digital content that you can later trade. What you're buying is a NFT and the artist can keep copyright and reproduction rights. People can still post the artwork and you don't actually own anything in a physical/digital sense apart from token itself.
I'd rather buy a picture...
So this token, what do you do with it? Do you collect it and when you get enough tokens, exchange it for something?
Out of pure interest, let's say I buy Shudu, or one of the offerings shown. What can I do with it IN Daz Studio? Can I vern get 'it' (whatever that may be) into Daz Studio? There is nothing that suggests theer is anything .obj related, nothing to suggest you can put 'whatever it is' in any other form of pose than what it comes with. Or have I just missed the whole frigging point? Admittedly I have not looked too deeply as nothing of what I have seen or read here, which amounts to not much as it is far too easy to skip over the various outraged rants and miss real info,, so I may have missed some critical bit of information.
Nope! You just have it. Although most people buy them speculatively, betting that they'll appreciate in value down the line. It's very much multi-level marketing, where there is no real end customer and the only reason to buy one in most cases is to try to sell it to a bigger mark later. This is betting a lot on the NFT ever being popular enough as a collector's item to not only resell but at a higher price.
You can look at it, you can keep it, and you can re-sell it. That's it. There's nothing else to it.
It's the ultimate dystopian extension of our modern obsession with meme culture, "lived experience", internet bragging rights, etc.
In the far future, after--let's say--the Nyan-cat meme has vanished from the internet, you can point to the blockchain and declare, "Behold, I have seen the Nyan-cat!" And then your little cadre of libertarian technocrats will all fall to their knees and cry, "He has seen the Nyan-cat! Such experience! Much wisdom! We bow to you, O Master of Memes!"
It's basically preparing for the day when having seen a jpg on the internet once becomes an extremely valuable cultural cachet.
You are correct. Can't pose it, alter it or render it. Can't be used in Daz Studio.
