    I'm thinking of doing a betting pool. devil I still think June 20 will be the day. laugh

    I'm just gonna buy myself some popcorn for that week... just in case. Like, what, I gotta celebrate the midsummer somehow, and grill sausages and popcorn is a good wait snack for that time.

     

  • I really hope that they comes out in 2018 since Genesis 3 basically takes twice the time to make something for it.

    The one that comes into my dreams and whispers deep secrets of 3D, in order to break free from the barriers that keep it separated from us, and when it comes, we all get dials and get to give ourselves the exact shape we want to have?

    Well now you know what you need to render to free it!

    Well if it is one single figure (genesis 1 style), it would be a huge time and money saver since you don't have to do two separate products for two genders.

    Personally, I'm hoping that any new Genesis release will be timed with a new version of DS. :)

    I won't specifically speak to a version number, but I will say that some of the stuff coming out the second half of this year in Studio will seriously blow people's minds.

    As long as it doesn't blow our budgets! (not that there's anything left to blow...)

    Steve, is this a personal guarantee that I will scream in ecstasy? wink

    Because if I don't, then I must find some other way... laugh

    ...another beta perhaps? Hope I can get hardwired net service again by then as my workstation doesn't have wireless.

  • nonesuch00nonesuch00 Posts: 18,714

    Oh wow when I think back to some of those DAZ 5 wishlist posts this can be very good. I may wind up buying a new computer before 2020 now. laugh

    Gawd, I so hope this is fake. LOL

    I just ain't ready for it yet.

    ...yeah I do too, I thnk the charge was something like 14$.

    Crikey I'd gladly send them a USB stick, have them load my orders on it, and mail it back as I am using my phone as a mobile hotspot which has a limited amount of download bandwidth per month (which believe it or not I already exceeded).  I don't get overage charges but anything I do that involves a net connection when I'm out and about (like checking transit schedules/arrivals, the weather, or baseball scores) runs much slower and sometimes crashes.

    The real downside as I mentioned is betas are only downloadable through the DIM and I no longer use the notebook for 3D or even much 2D work anymore so Downloading the DIM to it is pointless.

    I thought about setting up a hardwired connection between the notebook and workstation to use the notebook's wireless connection. Not sure If I need a router though.

    Not sure about your situation but I bought a Wifi usb stick for my PC - a few dollars and it works like a charm. Also has Bluetooth. Just plugs into any USB port and your PC should recognise it (otherwise there will be a driver or download).

    I have done this before. You don't need a router, just an ethernet cable. You can Google the instructions on how to set it up for your operating system, it isn't very difficult.

     

    If Genesis 4 was a single base figure like Genesis, that might tempt me to buy it.

    With my luck DAZ Studio 5 and Genesis 4 will have every feature I want, but not be able to run on my system or any system I can afford, lol.

  • wgdjohnwgdjohn Posts: 2,634

    Had to laugh... "Genesis 8" is clearly 4+ years down the road.  Now if it had read Genesis 4 or even Generation 7 it would have made more sense.

    Thanks DAZ_steve for putting things straight and also mentioning something to look forward to.

    ...Headed back to Carrara discussion.  Awaiting a new and improved Genesis 3 or 4 which works in Carrara 8.5 as well as awaiting Carrara 9.

    Well the second half of this years starts in 3 weeks time. If nothing appears on July 1 I'll be submitting a support ticket.devil

    We've heard rumours of a new Genesis/Victoria 8 for quite a while now, and little birdies had whispered mid-june, so I'm going with this being legit. It's an interesting marketing strategy - to do a public announcement of the new base, very curious. In the 'old days', they used to post previews of upcoming figures in the PC forum, complete with pictures of products PA's were working on. But if I remember correctly, it was previews of the figure add ons - as in, Aiko, Victoria, Stephanie etc - not so much a brand new base. 

    Didn't we get a new version of DS when Genesis 2 and Genesis 3 were released? My money's on a new version of DS when Genesis 8/Victoria 8 is released too. If they've 'upgraded' the base with new tech or something, then they've probably upgraded DS to handle it. 

    Well the changes to a figure usually require an update, although nothing major for the last couple as this would require a new SDK; Studio 5 seems to be something they want to avoid.

    No rumours from Daz; lots of speculation from the forums due to previous releases.

    Those posts could be accurate, even if fake. I wonder why, though, why hackers would bother.

    Nope, not fake - inaccurate.

    DAZ_Steve said it was a "sample test post that had been sitting around". It's a real, not fake, sample test post. In that sense (alone) it is a genuine article. 

    The information contained in this real sample test post has been stated to be inaccurate.

    It'll be a shame if it's totally inaccurate, as combining the Genesis number with the figure numbers is a really good idea. And 8 is a lucky number in the burgeoning east asian markets, so no better opportunity to do it than this.

    So, you are saying it could be a G8way drug for a whole new market?

  • SkirikiSkiriki Posts: 4,976

    I totally agree that combining Genesis number with figure number is a brilliant idea. Hey, if this thing is still TODO, could you go for it?
