Just Got an E-Mail from Integral Reality Labs :-(

I just received an e-mail from Intregal Reality Labs stating they are discontinuing the DAZ plugin, to create figurines.

Can someone recommend another 3D printing option or plugin that would work well with DAZ3D?  I just had a couple of figurines made from Integral Reality Labs, and was very pleased with the results.

    That sucks; I've used it for hundreds of models and hoped to do a lot more as we approach the holiday season.

    I would have loved an email *before* the actual day they're shutting it down, like, a week's warning or so.

    Gameprint stoped a few weeks back but didn't tell anyone until after they have shut down. Very dubious behaviour in my opinion. Does anyone know of an alternative?

    One wonders if this is a reaction to an incompatibility with G9... or of DAZ is setting things up so they can leap in yet another business. :/

    I suspect that DAZ customers simply weren't giving them enough work to keep that end of their business profitable, nothing more sinister than that. They're still actively printing collectables for Star Trek Online, and Eve Online, so the company itself hasn't disappeared.

    That said, it would be ulta-cool if DAZ *did* come up with an export path that would output already-printable STLs.

    Would this be helpful. 3DCoat Print [free]

    Thanks for the reminder, I'd forgotten about 3DCoat Print. I looked at it briefly with it came out, but hadn't actually tested it. I remember there's a polygon limit on it, but I don't know if taht would impact me or not. I'll have to test it out and see how it handles fixing things like hair. I was very spoiled by GamePrint, with just being able to set a character up, submit it and get it back later all ready to go.
