I'm guessing G9... based on things. Not terribly excited unless there's an actual advancement of some meaningful kind.
Personally, I'm pulling for the Millenium Cow 2. (Loved that someone said something earlier.) Or maybe some kind of Avian 8 figure so that I can pose birds in flight. Whatever it is, I'm certainly excited to see what Daz has in store. Should be fun. At least this thread has been entertaining.
Its going to b Genesis X ... moving right on by 9, just like 3 to 8
My other thought is that DAZ bought the Brooklyn Bridge so they could sell us NFT tokens.
Come on! You already know.
well ok then
(runs sobbing to his room)
DAX Studio 5 with Genesis 9 by subscription only ?
@benniewoodell
It takes more than just a Proper IK system to be on par with Maya.
One needs the ability to retarget biped/quadriped mocap to the control rig from various motion capture systems and the ability to add profiles for any mocap custom system with your native scripting( MEL).
Right now the best Ik/control rig/retargeting system available ( outside of the Autodesk suite)
is Blender with the Auto rig pro Add-on.
For Daz genesis& content users,the free expy kit add-on used with diffeo imports is the next best thing.
A switchable IK/FK control rig with retargeting ability and an animation layer system ,is what serves serious animators best IMHO.
more like those tiered systems
Free - DAZ Studio Basic (that old DAZ Studio version that existed before DAZ Studio Pro went free, that lacks features and tools that the pro version has)
$9.99/month - DAZ Studio Pro (features that DAZ currently has)
$19.99/month - DAZ Studio Ultimate (features that DAZ Studio has PLUS features locked to only PAs, like the D-force hair strand tool and the HD morph maker tool)
making multiple options/choices would benefit everyone since not every DAZ Studio user uses a lot of the advanced tools that is available, yet some people (including me) have been asking DAZ to make the PA only tools available, but still hasn't due to them being proprietary.
Wish they would free the hd morph plugin with Daz Studio 5. That would be really asesome.
DAZ is bought by aliens, and every DS is now connected by the Ultranet through a wormhole, and DS is now run on a quantum computer on Xzandor 5.... just one thing...
the aliens want all our cinnamon, or they will kidnap all our jazz musicians and sheep.
Renting the software would definitely be a deal breaker for me. I'd rather pay for a version and be able to use it into perpetuity. I have a problem with software that turns off as soon as you stop forking over your money.
Oh heck no to making Daz Studio a subscription service, it would put a lot of people off, myself being one of them.
Loool, that made my day!
+1
News just in...
DAZ is proud to announce a brand new partnership with Elon Musk and are proud to present the DAZ Brain Implant.
With this device, DAZ will now be able to notify your brain directly when a new flash sale begins.
IK is mainly in the application rather than the figure, though figure rigging obviously is a partial factor on top of that.
DAZ file support at Kitbash3d, or they buy Octane.
By the way, users DO have access to the strand based hair toolset.
They just can't turn strand based hair into dForce Hair. But the editor as it is? It's the same thing vendors have.
Don't cry, Will, you do very creative things with Strand-Based Hair. Your thicket products were ground-breaking.
@Wolf359 True if you're using MOCAP data. I rarely use it, I hand key everything to be exactly how I want it so I just need the IK work. But for folks like yourself that use MOCAP, I'd love to see that properly implemented as well.
That would have higher odds of jaw-dropping than a lot of the things people are suggesting in here...
I can't see them putting Daz Studio on a subscription model.
Razor blades and printer ink. They want the lowest barrier possible to starting, and then to get you hooked on buying the next sale of content.
Unflateable Pony 2.0 for the Millennium Cow. Now even more unflateable.
No more timeout errors on the forums and while checking out then?
I will put a vote in for a Maine Coon Cat 8 please.
I'm with you on this. A thread at Reddit hints at Genesis 9, but what can Genesis 9 possibly bring us that Genesis 8 (never mind 8.1; what was that mess about?) bring us that has value?
And I'm asking this as a serious question to non-hobbyists / professionals / actual artists who might know. What could Genesis 9 bring to the table? What could Daz incorporate that would be an actual improvement? Streamlining morph loads? I'm curious.
A subscription would be a deal breaker for me.
Daz will now be bundled with Bonzai Buddy.
Lets see funny pausabilities
Daz 3D support for Nintendo Switch
Genesis 9 with Genesis 8 and 8.1 morph support, cause who wants to wait 5 minutes to load a charactor when you can wait 10 minutes!
holdable, Poseable Genesis doll with range based sensors in all the joints with USB cable for easy posing in Daz3D. (would be cool right)
They have actually updated/added all product in the Daz Wiki, aka Documents center
OutofTouch is Finally releasing a Dforce Hair.
TurboLoaded is now built right into Daz3d
Daz3D now has a button you can hold down that will allow only morphs associated with that figure to load, making a figure to load with in 10 seconds
Genesis 9, which is broken into separate products for head, torso, arms, and legs, and discrete texture packs to be bought for each, in case you don't want them all. And nipples are separate too, like in real life. Your new purchases only exist in 'the cloud', you can't download them, and your ownership is verified via blockchain technology using biometric data. Oh, and you have to interact with your figures solely in the metaverse, with Mark Zuckerberg in the background watching you, 'cause he's getting really lonely.
And of course you need a new fangled graphics card or three to render any of it within a week.
