    Remember all, to click that notify button on YT, be signed up [subscribed] for to get whatever that bonus is ;-)

    what, you need to be subscribed too? 

    That particular "channel" ... at least you do for making comments in the chat box. Absolutely not certain about what or how one goes about getting that something for watching the video but don't want to find out afterwards that oh yeah, had to be subscribed ... 'k. If I'm absolutely wrong, I'm sorry. But it costs nothing to subscribe and one can undo that later on if they so desire. 

    eta: and oh wow, chat box has already been edited!!! [either that or YT's chat boxes before a show only show one page]

    ...this is interesting, I went to the YouTube page and it says the event would start at 13:00 local time for my time zone.  I live on the West Coast of the States (Oregon) so if it's supposed to be 16:00 Daz time, it should read 15:00 local time for where I am.  13:00  would be correct if they were basing it on EDT, but Daz always times things to their location.in Utah.

    (see attached image)

    Note the time in the right bottom corner of the screenshot that is I highlighted and the arrow from the announced start time points to. 12 hours from when I took the screen shot would be 12:12, not 13:00.

    Yeah, something is really screwy here as like I mentioned 16:00 MDT would be 15:00 PDT. If it is supposed to start at 13:00 local time as mentioned under the video window, that would put me in Nuku Hiva of the Marquesas Islands in the South Pacific which is 2 hours behind West Coast time.   

    ...not that I wouldn't mind living in that region of the world.

     

    Kinda confirming my suspicions that DAZ is actually run by AIdevil

    Do I read the times correctly? Does it really mean the announcement is planned for midnight on a workday for the Central European Summer Time zone?

    If so, I find this very, very disheartening.

    My email said attend the lice session to get the freebie (or get details there). That YouTube page has been listed here a few times now.

    Yes it has ... because people keep asking about not having combed through all the previous posts and/or having missed the emails ... BUT they want to know what the great announcement is all about too :-) 

    My email said You’ll also earn a FREE Item just for tuning in to the live event.

    But how would they know who was tuned in? That they did not say ;-)

    Is it enough if I'm logged into Daz, and is there a way to watch the video from the Daz site? That would probably be the easiest way to get the freebie. The background of my question:

    I have a g-mail account, but I haven't used it in centuries and I forgot the password. I just wanted to have a new one sent to me (as always in such cases, you click on 'forgot password') - but Google just wants to know what my old password was... Ah yes... laugh

    mine said attend not subscribe and I checked the attending reminder notification option on the video

    I linked the web version of the email earlier

    I had been subscribed to DAZ's YouTube channel since it's very beginning but unsubscribed once every upload was about NFTs

  • In the announcement of the new version of the DIM it says that 1.4 0 will work with Daz Studio 5
  • Daz Studio 5 now has a checkmark in the DIM settings.

    I have a gut feeling that the new Genesis generation and maybe also D5 will be mostly about D-Talk capabilites.

    Why should receiving that free item require anything fancy like logging in or subscribing? Nothing like that has been mentioned.
    I simply expect a link posted in the live chat to a freeby which will only be active during the live session or something like that.

    Actually ,  Daz3D  has been bought by  AutoDesk ,.. since it's  "3D "   +  Thanx  (; 

    Oh God, I deal with Autodesk's crap all day at work, I don't want my hobby to be infested by them too.

  • I am pretty sure now it is Genesis 9, and the free item is the Genesis 9 Starter Essentials (or something similar).

    If I am wrong and there is a freebie where you have to (kind of) proof of attending.... Daz has the tradition of coupon codes. So just posting a coupon code in the YT channel should be sufficient to claim the freebie. Just my thoughts, though. I might as well be completely wrong.

    I hope you're wrong.

    That would really suck - the Starter Essentials have always been free with the Studio download.

    All we are promised is a "sneak peek", not an actual release of anything.  G9 Starter Essentials would make no sense if there's no G9 release. 

  • The fact that this has been unwittingly timed for when many Daz customers are either working (Me) or asleep doesn't make me even mildly curious - much less eager - to learn what the Next Big Daz Thing is. Nor does the feebie, since Daz freebies over the past year or so are mostly things I can't use due to my system, or are 10+ years old, of which I have plenty.

    I will pop back onto the forums after work, where there should be more than enough posts to cover everything about it

    My TOP 6 Bets:

    1. Daz Studio 5 (the email title, "Huge Announcement Incoming!")
    2. Genesis 9 figures (the email graphic, "The Next Evolution")
    3. New Animation Tools and/or Mo-Cap capabilities
    4. Support for another Render Engine (such as Eevee or Intel ART) or Real-Time Rendering!
    5. Daz Studio iPad app
    6. More Daz Bridges and/or tighter integration for other popular 3D apps, Gaming apps, Animation Apps, Clothing Creation apps, etc.

    Mo-cap integration would be interesting, especially something that didn't require an iPhone or iPad for capture. Nvidia Omniverse stuff is something that I'm really interested in learning more about. 

  • no freebie is worth enduring a video of waffle.

    If I don't find it engaging and it's talking about NFTs or Metacrap I will forgo waiting for a link whatever

    Just six more hours until this starts. It might be just another "much ado about nothing"... or something really worth the hype. But as it's streaming at 9pm UK time zone... curiosity killed the cat, right? wink

    How do you get 9 PM? I'm one timezone further to the right, and 16.00 DAZ time should be midnight for me, 11 PM for you unless I'm wrong. (and if it really is 22.00 my time, I might even be willing to watch it)

  • memcneil70memcneil70 Posts: 4,280

    The shift in time note, may just be two hours of a repeat film of the theater they used for the tutorials or something like that. So people can join and see a live session, prior to the real start.

    I really hope it is starting at 16:00 MST because I will be back at home and can watch it. All the tutorials that were from 14:00 to 16:00 on Saturdays, had me having to leave the house and miss three-fourths of it.

    I just want it over so I know the worse and can make purchase decisions now.

    I went to the youtube page, and it tells me that the live stream starts in 6 hours from now, 22.00 my time zone., 21 UK time zone.

    Cloudfare second post.

    A Big Announcement would be figuring out why Daz's has so much trouble with the Cloud in Salt Lake City UT!
