Time for wishes. Lets jump in this wagon. And I hope release in early 2017? May this thread also gives some ideas to Daz3D staf and PAs
So, let’s play this game with Daz3D CONTENT (no studio 5 feature wishes, no genesis 4 etc…) just content for our runtime.
I’ll engage:
- Freak 7 pro bundle. there is a huge room left here in G2 and more important G3. Those chars can be used in many ways (fantasy, sci-fi, super heroes etc...), they can have what we call in France une GUEULE (a strong face), some scary and/or strong skins and there are many good (selling) argument for them. The same goes to their outfit, wich should be kinda extrem. If daz3D is doubting about a Freak7 sale, just watch the huge success of Georges!
- G3 transfer: an EASY TO USE and “one click transfer” TOOL to convert v4&co, G1 or G2 to G3 (actually, you need several products for the morphs and several products yet several transfers to go from V4 to G3 with not so close results to the original character)
- DAZ Monstrosities for G3: Undead Fiend, for example was my fav. It’d be great to see him & his friends in the G3 family (with iray skin, etc…)
- G3 creature creator: more of them, more skins.

Ok, I'm game! On my wishlist are:
That's all I can think of off the top of my head at the moment. There's been a lot of incredible content released over the past few months. Looking forward to what DAZ and the PAs will come up with next!
EDIT: Thought of one more. Elvis! Please somebody make some new blingy 70s style jumpsuits. That might sound niche, but the only one I can find is for an M4 at Rendo, and it's actually a mariachi outfit. I've been scouring the sites for a good, funky jumpsuit with bell bottoms and a Peter Pan collar. Sounds nuts, but I have a female superhero with luck powers that dresses this way. Blingy, outrageous, and sexy. Looks like the missing Charlie's Angel. If I can't find any, I may actually make some, which is a scary thought.
Of course, anything Elvis-like would be awesome. We need more Elvis! Always! (And disco! We need disco!)
Okay, done now. LOL
I'm seconding Llynara's Babies and Domestic Animals request, and tossing out yet another request for Colonial American clothing (eighteenth century) and north-eastern Native American clothing. And for gosh sakes, will someone please make a conforming Shawl to be worn around the shoulders? All the feels for the creative efforts of the PAs.
Actually, 2016 turned out to be pretty good, content-wise (and subsequently terrible for my wallet). Quite a few things that I'd hoped for for years finally happened... we got not one but two dynamic cloth systems that work with non-optitex cloth, a UV set to bring all my old Gen 3 skins to G3F, some truly amazing new skin shader systems, and way too many other fun things like TerraDome 3.
That said, once again, my hopes for the coming year are for improvemnts to the basic software - multiple collisions on a single figure, dynamic hair and an integrated dynamic cloth system that works with any item... though we are getting closer with that last one. Two new ones to add to the list are to pull some of the features of Hexagon into DS, as the the ability to fix bad seams on clothing on the fly would really be helpful, and an Iray to 3DL converter.
Beyond that, in terms of content I'd like to see:
Some more real-world cars that aren't souped up sports cars. There are enough cars out there that almost look like a Prius that a generic ought to be possible.
More real world locations - this has really improved in the last few years and First Bastion, in particular, has covered some of my most wanted, but the more the merrier.
AquaDome3
New Dog and Cat figures.
Upgraded dinosaurs. We finally got a new T-Rex, but some of the other dinos are looking really sad these days. Please, new skins at least.
New Octopus/squid.
Lmao Studio 5 and Gen 4 arent happening this year anyway so I dont know why people keep saying it will, Daz is very slow when it comes to doing anything, plus they havent said anything so it might not even exhist
Please let someone make Jedi Style robes like you would see in the original star wars films :D
I agree with @Llynara with the call for a Genesis 3 baby, new realistic animals, and realistic Iray food.
1) I'd also like to see a step forward in clothing realism. Often times the clothes are a dead give away on an otherwise realistic looking render. Even a lot of the new clothes falls short of the level that a lot of the characters are at when it comes to realism right now. I'd love to see the clothing being released in the new year as a step up/step forward in realism.
2) I'd also like a product that adds realistic folds and creases to clothing. Particularly around the arm bends (elbow bend and armpit bend) and light creases around the waist area. As well as for pants around the knees and light creases around the legs.
3) I agree with @boisselazon with the need for a product that can transfer characters from V4, G1, and G2 to G3 - with a lot more ease and accuracy. To do it right now via GenX you need THREE different products and it loses some face shape accuracy as well as any HD parts.
There are many things listed that I don't see a need or use for because I either don't ever use them, don't see paying for a product when I have a product already that gets the job done or can do it myself. I do feel bad as there are a few "attempts" at products that I really want, but the current offerings didn't appeal to me so I didn't buy which probably translates into that type of product didn't sell well and that would probably limit the chance of another try at it from the same or another PA
I agree with most of what Cybersox posted. New/improved dynamic/collision/physics features to the core software are high on my list also. Also easier transfer/rigging options for content imported into DS.
Ability to import .FBX rigged models into DS and have it retain the rigging!!!!!!!
I also agree with Melissa on the Native American clothing and props
Here are my wishes for 2017
A quality and versatile old style western outfit, with various parts to make him/her a gunfighter, a ranch hand, or a business/gambling man meaning various clothing and props that can be mixed and matched. There are a few in the MP, but the quality, versatility and style just are not there.
More environment options (that don't kill system resources either). I get a lot of use out of Fern Lake and Thru the woods,but need bigger environments. Dry Mud flats is a brilliant product and would love more like that. Terradome 3 is a great product, but way too resource intensive when you ad an actual scene into it and I had to return it. More space and planet options also. I also want a great IRAY water environment, both top and under
Always looking for more REALISTIC military clothing and gear options
I am all for new dog and cat models, but they need to be bundled (breeds) at a reasonable price to justify me buying based on how little I would use them.
And lastly NO GENESIS 4 FIGURES RELEASED!!
Japanese Anime/Manga Style Characters. Not toonish ones. I've had enough of toons and their big noses and thick lips.
In addition, Anime/Manga Style Skins and...
Most Importantly: Hairs!
Also Eyes Round Morph for G3. Conversion with GenX2 from Aiko 3/Hiro 3 to G3 is an option but seriously a single morph would be so much appreciated.
More 3Delight Support. Believe it or not I'm still fasinated by this engine, and people are still using it for some renders that don't even need photorealism.
Lower Texture Resolution Option. I load a character with a bunch of clothes, then there, the program just eats another 3G or more memory. Decimator helps only a bit and it seems most of the memory is used by high-res textures
More Utility Morphs On...Well, Almost Everything. Sometimes a piece of clothing is really eye-catching but the lack of supporting morphs makes it applicable for only a few limited conditions.
Less Skimps, More Practicals, Better Desgin.
Like More Realistic Creases/Folds on Realistic Items.
This is a rather personal wish: More Well Designed Fantasy/Sci-Fi Armour/Suits Please. There are a lot of armors and sci-fi suits on Daz this year and I'm pretty happy about it. Got most of them, too. The only complain I have is that the overall design still seems to be somewhat...limited. The basics are good but compared to what the Anime/Manga/CG/Game world has to offer, the artistic side is lagging a bit behind.
Another rather personal one: Uniforms. Being It Realistic or Sci-Fi or Fantasy (especially for men). Many decent and contemporary ones in my libraries are not even from Daz. There are a few good ones but the supply is short and slow.
Thank Goodness A Dress Blue is coming but it's equally sad that no one knows when and support for 3Delight seems to limited (or even none).
What's the latest, practical Police Uniform for G3M?
Agree - Babies and a new Cat and Dog would be great to have. And perhaps some pet birds, like parrots and cacadus. A new eagle and an owl would be fab too!
That said, I'd love to get my hand on some modern Japanese houses and street scenes, Italian villas, a coach for Spirit of Punk http://www.daz3d.com/spirit-of-punk , (hopefully with interior too) and a train station of the same style, a kitchen for west park and more of the art noveau series.
And if someone could figure out something alike volymetric fog for Iray and a way to have emitting objects not casting shadows. So you don't have to postwork away shadows of flames, light sabres, magic balls and so on...
And most of all more clothes for the MEN in the house. In any genre, especially scifi clothes which aren't space suits. Steampunk and victorian outfits would be great! And renaisance costumes. And why not a pair of baggy jeans as a change to all the slim fit panties.
...seconding a new cat that poses more like a real cat without distortion in the joints.
...a script or utility to convert Iray shaders for use in 3DL.
...a classic streamline diesel locomotive and set of passenger cars, including a dome car.
...a realistic "contemporary" (non sci-fi) space suit for G2/G3 (the last one we had was for M3).
...a "Wear Them All" for Gen4 to Genesis/G2/G3 footwear fits.
...cyber implants, cables & such for G2/G3.
...a set of overlays for streets and sidewalks.to make them look used and worn (dirt, skid marks, oil stains, general wear, etc.).
A true "invisible to camera" that still shows up in reflections, but not directly in the shot...would be fantastic for mesh lights. I could have one right in direct view of the camera but not showing up and blowing out the image, yet still casting light. There seems to be a command in DS that does this, but it doesn't do what I think it should OR I've never gotten it to work correctly.
A morph brush. Yeah, I know the "other" program has this, but it's there for a reason. It's extremely handy and useful. Fit morphs would be a thing of the past...I could fix clothing between breasts and glutes myself. Hmmph.
Clothing (dresses especially) with better morph control. If it's one thing that's seemed to go backwards in recent years, it's movement morphs for things like skirts and dresses.
The ability to turn off cast shadows.
A written manual. I will PAY. Please, please...somebody write one.
I'm sure I'll think of more ;)
Laurie
+1 I'd LOVE this!
Yes, Please! So important! More movement morphs for hair too. Some hair creators add good hair movement morphs, but seems like many don't - or don't provide evough.
HD facial expression morphs—creases, lines, wrinkles and all the movements of real faces. The little dimpling on chins and the folds on noses when laughing and smiling.
Late 18th/early 19th century clothing—aka, pre-Victorian, pre-Empire.
Ditto on more intuitive and robust dress movement morphs. I often have to export dresses into Modo (lacking Zbrush) to fix issues to the point I usually avoid long dresses.
Gorgeous shoes and boots with either morphable heels or no/moderate heels. So often, high heels are so high, it's hard to use them for anything other than a standing pose—in sitting, they raise the legs oddly. There are far too many 3" heels and very few 1" heels.
There are a couple of HD facial expression products already:
http://www.daz3d.com/xtreme-expressions-hd-for-genesis-3-female
http://www.daz3d.com/xtreme-forehead-wrinkles-hd-for-genesis-3-male-s
http://www.daz3d.com/smile-delight-for-genesis-3-male-s
But I agree, we could definitely use some more. :)
I have one of them, but I'm greedy for more. Especially ones with a lot of detail. i'm not sure how practical that would be, though.
Short men's hairstyles. A lot looks like turf or isn't very realistic. Better fits and adjustments so hair doesn't float over ears or have odd fibermesh poking through foreheads or sitting high on foreheads. Ways to adjust hairlines too.
mens fibermesh bodyhair for Genesis 3
realistic clothing but particularly uniforms. Army, navy, police and science fiction crew would be appreciated.
a chihuahua dog model with poses
iray lights which don't cast shadows
cyber body parts for both genders. In fact realistic androids would be great
updates to 3delight shaders. I actually prefer to use 3delight over Iray but the lack of realistic skin shaders and too much focus on Iray means 3delight just is getting kicked to the curb which is a shame. It has a lot to offer. Please update so we can use this in an optimized way.
better expressions. Too often characters look more like sims than they do real people. The expressions are fairly exagerated. Many of the expressions look bad or creepy rather than attractive.
Dogs, definitely (OK, cats if you must). A decent bundle would be very tempting.
Vehicle versions to right hand drive: not much use having a British post box and telephone kiosk if the only cars are left hand drive.
Basic clothing for men & women with imperfections, such as fraying to cuffs & staining (but everyday damage, not just zombie apocalypse). More creasing options (sleeves rolled up, cuffs over hands). Younger versions of same with a range of colour/design options.
A second-hand bookshop, the messier the better (OK, a very personal choice).
A clothing store/department store.
...I totally second this. There are so many nice outfits and dresses that unfortunately only include high or spike heels
...
...
isnt there a separate forum for this ?
Yes to babies and kiddie stuff, pets, new big cats, cute cubs and other animals with their offspring, birds, flamingoes... Animals that don't exist, but cute ones, not ugly creatures. Maybe a Genesis 1 type animal that can be morphed into infinite realistic or imaginary animals, but cute ones. Disney style toon animals like in the Lion King..
Better morphs and movements on clothes...
More toons, all types, human and non-human. Earlier Disney style, like Sleeping Beauty, Beauty and the Beast, Lion King and Disney style toon hair. Also more 3DU/Pixar style toons.
More facial morphs for G3. I have, I think, all there are right now, but G3 still looks like G3, nowhere near as versatile as V4... And more custom ZBrush created expression or facial movement morphs with dials.
Something to make CPU-only renders faster!!!
On a personal level, I'd like more futuristic technology and real world, but futuristic locations, indoor and outdoor, but clean, modern, upscale, a future circa 2080 or so as if designed by Apple! Or Minority Report, Contunuum, Incorporated style... Also 60's Jetsonesque futuristic styled homes, furniture, locations, clothes, hair... Fashion of the future that isn't overly sci-fi.
Completely imaginary locations, whimsical, something we've never seen before, a new Oz or Wonderland... I probably should just learn how to model, I have so many ideas, I wish I could create them... If anyone would like to collaborate on any of these things, I could come up with the concepts and draw them.,.
A Genesis 2 and 3 version of this:
https://www.daz3d.com/220-emotions-for-genesis
An inter generation autofit for shoes that doesn't distort them
Custom made expressions from scratch, please. G3 is the best figure line ever, but expressions need an update. E.g: Real lips are usualy streching when smiling, so they become thinner, but wider.
G3 has face rigging, you can make any custom expression you want.
Definately agreeing with food props for Iray. That would be really awesome and useful! I would also love of more Iray animals, especially cats, ravens, foxes and snakes. More robes, especially fantasy ones would be very welcome! These are great ideas, guys.
Personally I'd really love to see feathered/angelic wings for Iray and Genesis 3, and some interesting Iray Genesis 3 tails, such as cat, fox, devil, or lizard.
More Iray jewelry is always welcome, the more the better.
I'd also love to see updated Iray Genesis 3 versions of a few older hairstyles such as Piratess Hair, Pure Hair: Punk, Pure Hair: Crazy and Surfer Hair.
I think my first wish is that we DON'T see Genesis 4 this year, especially if it breaks compatibility with previous generations like Genesis 3 did. I'd like to see Genesis 3 given a little extra time to breathe and mature. Until hair and dynamics catch up, I don't feel we need another new figure unless it's freaking absolutely amazing.
Middle / lower class housing. We've got tons of giant kitchens and living rooms, but not much for small apartments.
And yes, winter clothes. Like large parkases, down jackets, caps, mittens et cetera.
The male version of the Egypt bundle we got for G3F last year. And the male version of this http://www.daz3d.com/medieval-cloaks-for-genesis-females
Bot armor for Genesis 3 - both males and females.
And a "me too" for the cyborg parts. Especially head implants and brain stuff.
I'd also love to have some Gotham-city styled exteriors, both streetsviews (Stonemanson style) and skyskrapers.
And a Greek style village:
When it comes to DS - the ability to render in layers, to pause and re-start a render, to add volmetric glows and fogs and a better search function.
As a user and abuser of shaders I would like to see models built with them in mind. This means more logical material zones and cleaner and larger UV mapping.
More cute little furry animals, with LAMH presets, and, in particular, Alessandro Mastronadi's long-promised Red Panda.
Cheers,
Alex.
