    I buy some from there but only when it is 50% off. Still a bit expensive but the products are good

    You just missed it, they had their five year anniversary sale the past three weeks, buy 2 get 1 free, or buy 3 get 3 free. Check back around Thanksgiving, they usually have a sale then. I use their stuff all the time.

    Happy Very Big Announcement Eve, everyone! Be sure to hang your dForce stockings by the Irayplace with care tonight, and leave out some cookies (but not milk, that's just gonna go bad).

    We'll see what Santa Daz leaves for us under the tree tomorrow (hopefully not a lump of NFTs coal!!!)

    If tomorrow's announcement involves us getting out our credit cards after the broadcast can we have a good gift card sale please! enlightened

    I quickly became convinced by all those who insist it will be G9 (or whatever the new generational name might be) but now I'm increasingly convinced that G9 and DS5 will be announced together. If G9 has some "Jaw-Dropping" features then surely it will need DS5 to enable those features? However, I anticipate that G9 can work in a more limited fashion with DS4 and that DS5 will continue to load content designed for DS4. Not that sure about my DS4 scenes loading into DS5 though - I expect to have to recreate the scenes afresh.

    So, should we speculate about what might be coming with DS5? Better animation (please) and/or physics (pretty please)? I'm guessing that dForce will have been adapted to provide some form of soft-body physics.

    Well it's September 21st.  There's nothing new that's NEW.  What was all this BIG ANNOUNCEMENT nonsense about.  Is this this just one big joke?  It's like Christmas morning and all we got was a lump of coal in our stocking.

    4pm?  What 4pm?  It's September 21st now.  What video?  You mean we have to wait until 4pm to find out what THE BIGGEST SURPRISE OF THE CENTURY IS?  OMG!!!  I'm suffering the biggest ANTI-CLIMAX of my life.  I hope there's medication for anti-climax. Somebody at DAZ should take a marketing course.  It's like - BLACK FRIDAY, except they're waiting until NOTHING WEDNESDAY.  Maybe Elon Musk bought the company, then decided to not buy the company.  You know - we don't need another generation of figures, and we don't need another version of Studio, and we absolutely don't need another render engine.  Unless DAZ bought Marvelous Designer and is incorporating it for free, this announcement is going to be OMG!!! An ANTI-CLIMAX.  They're doing a live video broadcast when all of North America is at work and can't wach it.  The big announcement is that all their employees got pancakes for breakfast.  I'm going to FAINT from the excitment.

    Please DAZ...... if your doing a special GLOBAL announcement, please showcase your announcement when your store changes its daily sale ads!  I just read in the forum that I need to retune in for special announcement within 12 hours time!

    Hm. what about "We have doubled our service team, and we hired a professional to support our dear DAZ user community. Our new Chief Communication Officer is already keen getting in contact with as many of you as possible."

    I still seriously think that this all hinges on nVidia's big announcement tomorrow.  Features have been leaked about the 4000 series cards, and new innovations to Geforce in general.  Some rumours have been leaked online about some of the capabilities of the cards, though nothing is set in stone till Jensen takes the stage tomorrow.

    Though, if there were some breakthroughs in some aspects (real time ray tracing capabilities, better physics, etc), dollars to doughnuts developers such as Daz, Autodesk, etc were all given the specs and development cards to work with so they could create fancy new software to go along with the new cards.  After all, you don't want groundbreaking technology out there with nothing able to support that technology. Games and apps are probably already set to be dropped after tomorrow that will use the 4000 cards to their full potential.

    This is just wishful thinking, I guess...but could you imagine the power of Daz being able to utilize real time ray tracing?  Creating iRay images would be as quick as creating filament draw images.  Animations would take hours or minutes instead of days.

    That's actually a good shout with the Daz announcement coming the day after NVIDIA GTC where the 4000 series is going to be revealed .. So it will be interesting to see what Jenson pulls out of his oven later today and how that could relate to Iray .. eyes and ears open everybody!

    ...as long as it doesn't further hamstring those of us with older cards like the move to RTX did.

    I don't anyone has mentioned yet, but think it could be somekind of cooperation with Unreals MetaHuman project. Unreal/Epic Games gave Daz funds (Epic MegaGrant), Daz seems enthousiastic about the MetaVerse so it wouldn't suprise me.

    The announcement is .... a sale?

    Nothing said about selling ones firstborn in order to get the freebee.

    Moderators!!! It's going to be 1AM here when the event starts, need to know for sure how to participate and get the freebee, not going to stay up for nothing.

    ...please, please, please let it be a fix for the forums server.  Had a 525 error when I tried to open the forums (never saw that one before) and just had another of many 502s.

    I think DAZ figures are going to be turned into life size robots that will do the dishes and vacuum the house while dressed in wild fantasy costumes - sort of what I do myself.

    ...this is interesting, I went to the YouTube page and it says the event would start at 13:00 local time for my time zone.  I live on the West Coast of the States (Oregon) so if it's supposed to be 16:00 Daz time, it should read 15:00 local time for where I am.  13:00  would be correct if they were basing it on EDT, but Daz always times things to their location.in Utah.

    (see attached image)

    Note the time in the right bottom corner of the screenshot that is I highlighted and the arrow from the announced start time points to. 12 hours from when I took the screen shot would be 12:12, not 13:00.

    Yeah, something is really screwy here as like I mentioned 16:00 MDT would be 15:00 PDT. If it is supposed to start at 13:00 local time as mentioned under the video window, that would put me in Nuku Hiva of the Marquesas Islands in the South Pacific which is 2 hours behind West Coast time.   

    ...not that I wouldn't mind living in that region of the world.
