@Taoz Well, there had to have been a reason at the time, obviously. A couple were in bundles that other stuff in them I did want/need. As for the rest of my "mystery purchases", the only explanation I can think of is that I must have had plans for renders at the time but lost the inspiration, moved on to other projects, got distracted by whatever, etc. and then just forgot all about them. Easy to do when you've got 15 years or so of 3D purchases and freebies from all over stuffed into way too many runtimes & content folders. :sigh: I keep telling myself one of these days I'm gonna get better organized but ...

@Byrdie Well I was more thinking about myself, I often come across something in my library where I think "why on earth did I buy that?". Often though it has to do with the quality of older stuff, when I compare it to what you can get today I just think some things look terrible and that I'll never use them anyway. But when I purchased them I guess I must have thought they looked great, and they probably were the best you could get back then. Today the quality of most things I buy is so great though that it can't be improved much, so it's a bit different now. That said, supporting the PAs by buying all that old stuff has helped them stay in business and improve their skills so they now can provide products of a much better quality.

A lot of the weirdest stuff came as weekly freebies. DAZ has totally strange tastes when it comes to what they pick for free items and as a result I've got a bunch of products that, while technically well made, I rather doubt I will ever have a use for. But, since I do a lot of kitbashing, I'll rarely pass on a freebie because you knever know...
99 pages of outstanding 3D purchases and freebies. Oldest was Daz Studio 2 in 2005. It wasn't till Daz gave the Daz Studio Pro 4 version for free that I started buying up all the assets I wanted for production. Wishlist is empty.
Well, coming a long way. So I myself will try to cut down a bit. This year will be more on trying out all that stuff and learning a bit more on how to use it. Specially with regards to characters until DAZ will figure out a way to dynamially enabling/disabling morphs without impacting figure load times.
Guess if I'm able to cut spendngs in half or more I might have money for the hell of a render rig ;-)

Truth is I've had 138ish in store credit but can't seem to spend it. Something NEW and enticing, not recycled own most of it, needs to happen.
Well, it was bound to happen eventually... 700 pages
How did you get a small page count? My pages look like this, so does page count really matter?
I didn't. I just reverse the default print order so that new purchases are last and page 700 is still only partially full. The other 699 are all the standard 40 items.

10 wishlist items left (August new releases) !!!
14 pages. I'm practically scrooge.
172, some of which contain products I have absolutely no memory of buying nor the foggiest idea why.


I especially don't like the "why?"...
too many
