    I asked for adequate documentation to be added to DS. If a function isn't adequately documented for the users to make the best of it, it may as well not be there at all wasting the programmer's and user's time.

    Regards,

    ...mine was a search engine for both the store and forums that works.  In particular I mentioned being able to search actual phrases of full groups of words eliminates having to sift through a lot of useless results. Adding options like date ranges along with being able to search by thread title, name of poster, and other grouped terms would streamline the search process.

    For the store, keywords need to be more accurate.  when searching say for clothing items, I shouldn't see hair or poses in the result categories and theme/genre also needs major improvement.

    If they want honest opinions, they should ask here. Of course, they wouldn't dare.

    We do look here. :) And we leave a number of open-ended boxes in the survey for additional feedback which I look at and pass it forward to our leadership. I do wish some changes happened faster, but we are definitely using this year to make a lot of QoL improvements to the Daz environment. I can't speak for the studio team, but it's going to be a pretty big year for the Website/Gallery/Forum.

    Thanks for posting here Daz_Travis, it's cool to hear that there might be one each year! I think that's a super idea.

    I do have some good news for you, in that case! This is one of our top priorities to fix right now along with the major update to our categories/genres. We are actively working on getting a new search platform to support the store. I'm really excited about this update.

    ...one item I forgot to mention on the survey about the galleries was the ability to key in products. for one work a couple of the products that are still in the store which were used did not show up in the drop down selection. It would also allow for listing products no longer in the store but that folks might have in their content libraries.

    It's my pleasure! I'm really going to try and hang out on the Forums with all of you more going forward, but it's hard to be in all places at once. Jack does a great job at pointing me at certain threads and when I get a minute I try to hop in and add some insight from the Marketing team where I can.

    One of my biggest goals with the Website/Gallery/Forum was to unite them more into a single environment. I want the customer accounts and navigation to be uniform across the three platforms. We are doing a lot of work on our data feeds to make that possible (this will mean product information on the gallery will be synchronized with the products on the store). We are also going to build in a more universal notification system for messages, comments, likes, replies, etc. :)

    I wonder what prompted the survey in the first place?

    The complaints around here are both well documented and colorful.

    My goal is to get out a full membership survey around this time each year. We look at everyone's feedback and try to make further improvements with each round. :)

    Thanks for the reply.  It is appreciated.

    I remember when we used to have DAZ employee appreciation threads.  We used to know their names and we were part of the same community.

    Before the dark times... before the Corporation.

    I feel like I'm the only person concerned over the rising hardware requirements and the cost of that hardware.GPUs mainly.

    I didn't spend much time writing anything out on my survey.

    But a cursory glance at the cost of a 24GB RTX GPU is enough.

    I'd really like to see something get put together to make the hardware we need more readily accessible and affordable.

    They are still hard to get in the US.

    And to control the prices a factory direct purchase channel would be fantastic.

    We are still facing scalper pricing on just about every GPU available.

    Maybe some sort of arrangements can be made with Nvidia to make certain GPUs available to Daz customers with a financing (Affirm or something similar would suffice I suppose) option for those that need it?

    I think I've heard about those! But I believe they were a bit before my time.

    Unfortunately, I was brought on by 'the Corporation' haha. ;) But even so, I'll try to make my presence more known. So for a formal introduction, my name is Travis, and I'm a Marketing Director here at Daz.

    This would be really cool! I wish we could do something like this, but we're also having to fight for GPUs just like everyone else. I have my own personal alert notifications set up for certain GPUs so I can try to help people also get their hands on the hardware they need.

    When they asked what I would suggest to change about the website, I said 'change the webstie', citing previous suggestions that I and others have made since the recent change.

    All of that white space along the left column is dead space, and the sort options should be collapsible, allowing more product tiles to be shown across the page.  Oh and adding a 'jump to page' menu to the top of the page as well as the bottom of the page, and jumping to a new page using the page menu widget should go to the top of the page.

    Also, the 'main shop page sort categories, i.e. People & Wearables, Hair, etc. should be in every sales page sort menu.  I'd absolutely love to be able to just sort by say environments and architecture, as an example.

    It was annoying to try to type all of that into a tiny 'other' box though.  I used those tiny other boxes to cram a lot of words into them.

    As for that rank stuff from 1-8, I don't remember all of the options now, but I ranked the whole 'Daz+ exclusive items' thing towards/at the bottom.  If NFTs was there I ranked it 8th.  I think there was something about forum badges, I ranked that towards the bottom too, along with private Daz+ forums which I almost never used anyways.

    I mentioned the need to to give longtime customers decent discounts on Daz+ memberships, as we get less value out of said memberships.  What I mean here is that, like a number of others here, it's harder for us to find stuff to use the monthly Daz+ coupons on, and we often end up picking stuff that we sort of want because of the 'use or lose' nature of the coupons, as we already have most of what we really want from past sales, and have picked over the Daz Originals category to death in past sales.

    As I mentioned in the MM and another thread, I really do think that a 40% off + 2% per year you've been a Daz3D.com shopper on annual memberships would be really cool idea.  if you've been shopping here since 2002, you've helped pay a lot of Daz payrolls over the years, not to mention supported a number of PA,s so absolutely you should get 80% off of the annual PC+/Daz+ membership!  This is the one thing that only goes into the Daz coffers (PA's do not get a cut of the Daz+ membership renewal fee), so it's pretty easy to offer.

    Not sure if the Daz3D.com store has been around for 30 years, but if anyone here has shopped there that long, a free lifetime Daz+ membership is the least the Daz3D.com sales team can do for you.

    And, as has been mentioned before, Daz+ freebies have been kind of meh lately.  At some point, you end up with more plants than you need or may ever use...

    50% off Daz+ memberships happened often enough until this year, that should just be a thing again at the very least for regular customers, or my 'based on how long you've been shopping here' scheme as suggested above.  I'm no longer Daz+ because the discounts on the Annual Membership renewal fee discounts have been laughable this year.  And my shopping has dropped to essentially zero in the meantime.

    Hey look, another wall of text that the sales team may never read...

    I did just want to pop in here and mention that I do in fact read through many of these forums, and I a lot of the things you've mentioned in this post have been talked about at some level or another. We have some pretty great website updates in the works under the hood for both the categories, search, and user preferences. We've been doing some internal shuffling to get some talent brought over to the web team so that we can work through bugs/improvements faster. :) It can just take a bit of time to get those people up to speed, but I think you'll start seeing the results here soon!

    Thank you at least for putting a search box back in the published artists search field on the product pages. THAT was a glaring omission ;). Now, if we could just get rid of that bottom loading page without having to scroll to the top.... ;)

    You are hardly the only one concerned about hardware cost, but what makes you think DAZ has any control over that?

    They do have control over the system requirements but it is not in their best interest to stop upgrading the software.

    Adding new features and improving old ones eventually pushes the processing requirements up.

    You can certainly argue that they should not have tied themselves to Nvidia. I'm not sure why they did that, given their history.

    Being tied to another company's product (Poser) is what led to the creation of Studio in the first place.

    I can't see Nvidia making any arrangements about supplying hardware for DAZ.

    I suspect the number of Studio users is a drop in the bucket compared to gamers, who are the customers Nvidia is most concerned about.

    I seem to recall that Nvidia disabled something on some cards that would not really affect games that much but be unattractive to crypto-miners.

    In a very short time a fix was on the Internet to re-enable that function.

    Even if DAZ worked something out with Nvidia, I suspect that DAZ would experience a huge influx of new accounts that would never buy any content but would siphon up all those specially priced GPUs.

    I think this is a good thing, in fact I think it's a good thing that you ask for and care about feedback. Surely that's why you A/B tested the web site, then responded to the feedback. It's why you paid for a survey and paid people to do it.

    Other than my flash sales timing thread, which is designed to make people aware of how unfair flash sales can be, most of what I write here is to explain my thinking as so why I do, and why I don't buy things, and what pleases me and what doesn't. It's all feedback, because I think that if it's constructive, it's useful.

    i don't especially care about changes to introductory discounts, or that there's even more of a push towawards multi-buy offers, or that this year's March Madness is no better than last year's November Normal. All I can do is explain why I do and why I don't buy things. Now I've see that grab bag items are again cheaper in the catch up, I'm unlikely to buy any more grab bag items, for example.

    And timing aside, I personally like the flash sales. They are simple, and they are, maybe even a little... exciting? Just offer them to everyone fairly and I will be happy. But if they are not fair, then people will notice, and not everyone will be pleased!

    And despite all the negatives, I still think Daz is a great product which I would, and indeed to recommend do people.

    I'm not saying Daz has any control over Nvidia's, or any other hardware manufacturers' pricing.

    Corporations and businesses get better service for buying things like GPUs than individual consumers.

    For example Bestbuy used to have the easiest business account you can open, and you get first access to GPUS when they come in.Not sure that is still the case.

    Many people have setup business accounts to buy GPUs from them because they are so hard to get.

    That's pretty easy to find on the internet so I won't go into detail here.

     

    As for myself.

    I'm going to be good to go for a while with my current build.

    128GB 3200DDR4 RAM

    Ryzen 7 3800XT CPU

    RTX 3060 12GB GPU

    3 NVME drives ranging in size from 250GB-2TB(All PCIE4)

    1 4TB USB drive

    1 6TB USB drive

    1 1TB SSD

    1 2TB SSD

    900w Platinum rated power supply.

    About the only 2 things I could upgrade would be the CPU and GPU at this point.Which I'm not because PCIE5 is going to be be here within a year any way.So no point in it now.

    Other may not have been so lucky.

     

    Yes, I do know that new features can increase computational demand on a PC.That much should be obvious to anyone really.

    Not my first time using a PC :)

     

    I really don't care about cryptomining. 

    They are the reason everyone else can't get cards, and why those that can get them are scalping them for 300% over MSRP.

    I'm not going to post here what I think of cryptominers and the those that supports them.

     

    If Daz were in the position to do so , they could offer select versions of GPUs for sale on the Daz store for registered customers.Obviously there would need to have been some sort of criteria to meet before one could purchase here to prevent the scalpers and miners(opposite ends of the same turd) buying them all in seconds with their bots.

    That's the whole reason I even suggested that Daz get in to hardware sales.

    We need Nvidia GPUs to run Nvidia's iray render engine.

    Access to those cards would be very beneficial to users like us.

    Just recently, a rep from Daz has stated that they aren't in a position to do something like that currently so I'm just going to take my chances when I get in the market for a new GPU.

    this is why Filament native shaders should be a priority, there is emission but it has not been implimented in DAZ.

    The Cutout opacity culling is the other huge issue

    While Filament does not compare to iray it is the only PBR option not reliant on a Nvidia graphics card for many with lesser hardware

    I did mention this in my survey reply

    True, and it is also very easy for scalpers to set up business accounts (multiple accounts).  Do you think Best Buy vetted all the people setting up business accounts?  I don't know if they did or didn't, but I doubt it.

    That would be me.  My card is very old and can't handle much.  Most of my renders are done on CPU.

     And it would be very difficult for DAZ to stop scalpers from creating multiple accounts to buy up the GPUs without instituting some draconian policies, even if they were interested in administering some kind of program like that.  

    So hey, There's a business opportunity for some entrepreneur. Create a business to sell GPUs for regular prices to DAZ users and weed out the scalpers. Of course it would be very difficult to find the GPUs to sell in the numbers that would be wanted here.  They might have to create multiple business accounts and use bots to locate the GPUs to beat out the scalpers ... and probably have to charge more for the effort...  : )

    I could not do the DAZ+  1-8 drop down questions. I would tick one, move on, tick the next, then do another and the ones before go blank!  So I thought you could only choose 2 or 3, and tried that. Got to the end and up came the red warning that I did not answer q's that needed answers!  I tried everything.  Am on Chromebook and nothing worked.

    So 20 mins of wasted time. I went back and tried again several times after reading this thread.  I have done company surveys on here before, never had this problem.

    Bah! angry  Silene

    ETA:  I dragged and dropped to fill in all the answers then one by one change the order of importance. You keep having to look to be sure you didn't already assign a value. Weird! surprise

    My biggest hope from the survey is changes and features added to DS. I honestly don't have many issues with the website or the store. for me, it's DS, then content, and then the store.

    Sorry to hear that you and a few others had issues with the survey! What browser/device were you on? This survey was sent out with SurveyMonkey so I was surprised to hear that people were running into these bugs. :(

    50% off Daz+ memberships happened often enough until this year, that should just be a thing again at the very least for regular customers, or my 'based on how long you've been shopping here' scheme as suggested above.  I'm no longer Daz+ because the discounts on the Annual Membership renewal fee discounts have been laughable this year.  And my shopping has dropped to essentially zero in the meantime.

    Hey look, another wall of text that the sales team may never read...

    I did just want to pop in here and mention that I do in fact read through many of these forums, and I a lot of the things you've mentioned in this post have been talked about at some level or another. We have some pretty great website updates in the works under the hood for both the categories, search, and user preferences. We've been doing some internal shuffling to get some talent brought over to the web team so that we can work through bugs/improvements faster. :) It can just take a bit of time to get those people up to speed, but I think you'll start seeing the results here soon!

    Thank you at least for putting a search box back in the published artists search field on the product pages. THAT was a glaring omission ;). Now, if we could just get rid of that bottom loading page without having to scroll to the top.... ;) 

    This might be something I can help fix in the short term! Could you give me a bit more information about what is currently happening with the functionality? I just want to make sure we are on the same page (no pun intended) :)

    When they asked what I would suggest to change about the website, I said 'change the webstie', citing previous suggestions that I and others have made since the recent change.

    All of that white space along the left column is dead space, and the sort options should be collapsible, allowing more product tiles to be shown across the page.  Oh and adding a 'jump to page' menu to the top of the page as well as the bottom of the page, and jumping to a new page using the page menu widget should go to the top of the page.

    Also, the 'main shop page sort categories, i.e. People & Wearables, Hair, etc. should be in every sales page sort menu.  I'd absolutely love to be able to just sort by say environments and architecture, as an example.

    It was annoying to try to type all of that into a tiny 'other' box though.  I used those tiny other boxes to cram a lot of words into them.

    As for that rank stuff from 1-8, I don't remember all of the options now, but I ranked the whole 'Daz+ exclusive items' thing towards/at the bottom.  If NFTs was there I ranked it 8th.  I think there was something about forum badges, I ranked that towards the bottom too, along with private Daz+ forums which I almost never used anyways.

    I mentioned the need to to give longtime customers decent discounts on Daz+ memberships, as we get less value out of said memberships.  What I mean here is that, like a number of others here, it's harder for us to find stuff to use the monthly Daz+ coupons on, and we often end up picking stuff that we sort of want because of the 'use or lose' nature of the coupons, as we already have most of what we really want from past sales, and have picked over the Daz Originals category to death in past sales.

    As I mentioned in the MM and another thread, I really do think that a 40% off + 2% per year you've been a Daz3D.com shopper on annual memberships would be really cool idea.  if you've been shopping here since 2002, you've helped pay a lot of Daz payrolls over the years, not to mention supported a number of PA,s so absolutely you should get 80% off of the annual PC+/Daz+ membership!  This is the one thing that only goes into the Daz coffers (PA's do not get a cut of the Daz+ membership renewal fee), so it's pretty easy to offer.

    We get to the bottom of the store page and click on '<', '>', or a number and the page loads. And we're still looking at the bottom of the page, with the bottom edge of (in my case) four black boxes. We have to scroll to the top on our own, when the action of loading the requested page should have set the view to the top of the page.

    Perfect! This helps. I wonder if that is an issue that came from adding in the Infinite Scroll option. But there should be a different function based on the browse type you're on. Infinite Scroll or Pages

    I'll get this sent over to my devs! This should be a pretty straightforward fix

    FWIW I do 60 items per page.

    Good to read the search function is going to be improved, that was my suggestion for the website as I search Daz from Google if I really want to find something.

    Actually Daz folk, in just about every store promotion that says "x when you buy any new release" the hyperlink will point to the general store page, please hyperlink to http://www.daz3d.com/new-releases as that's where they are... small grumble.

    As for suggestions for Daz itself - soft body physics!

    But overall, love this program and this community :)

    I didn't get a survey surprise I feel left out crying

  • HonzoHonzo Posts: 193

    I feel the whole survey was aimed toward somebody at Daz showing other people at Daz what a good job they're doing. It was not framed in a way that would lead to helpful results if someone was really trying to improve their product.

     

    Now I'm told the coupons will come on April 1st... I'd have more confidence if they said they were being issued on the 2nd.
