Now when did Daz Studio cost money? I have been using it since 2003. I somehow remember they were going to charge for it.Yet I never noticed. I did take a hiatus in I think 2009 or 2010, though it was for 6 to 12 months.

I got started in the hobby in  2009, & Daz Studio 2 was out, followed shortly by D/S 3. Both were free. However, there was also a Daz Studio 3 Advanced, which was $230 list price, although it may have been on sale frequently, like Carrara. D3A had additional features like Figure Mixer, Morph Following, Shader Builder/Mixer/Baking, IBL, & HDRI. I didn't know HDRI was that old. (Yes, I looked up the product & my order info.)

I got it during the 2010 Anniversary Sale for $1.99, when Daz had a promo similar to last year's PC+ For a Day, but with voting on what was offered.

so did I

but I bought DS4A before it was free

I believe it was only 'sold' for about 6 months.

 

yep to me and quite a few others who paid considerably more for pro

I also bought the FBX exporter and decimator and to this day annoyed they removed the DS3 download for that plugin, that actually upset me more than paying for DS

I prefer using Generation 7/8 as they are much more realistic; particularly with K.H.Image studio's Ultimate Natural Bend morphs! Although, with genesis 1, I did do a ton of ZBrushed morphs and it's STILL the perfect figure for extreme morphs to carry over to both genders; I thought it was a crappy idea to deviate from that genius formula in the first place!

I'd still like to see more than one couple of the same token Asian/Black couple, (Not including PA versions but the official Daz originals) it is not lost on me however, that this is due to Daz's/3D industry/gaming's target majority market... Thanks though, for the PAs, as they're the ones that are carrying the torch for innovation with the base characters!
