    I've enjoyed DS Creative and I hope you folks manage to regroup and find a way to keep the magazine going.   A less frequent schedule would be great and I will continue to pick up the issues.

    We will be going over alternatives, bimonthly every 3rd month etc. But no matter how often or little we release its still a matter of writers and without funding its hard have such on a regular basis. But we are checking up on possibilities and may have some things up our sleeves but for now we need a short break and rest. But keep an eye out and thank you all that contributed and supported us over these 2 years! :)

    Welcome to DS Creative Issue 23 the only magazine for DAZ Studio users

    While we are happy for you to share the above link, please do not download the magazine and share elsewhere, DS Creative should only be available through https://issuu.com/philatdsc

    I'm relatively new to DAZ Studio and the world of 3D in general and only recently discovered DS Creative and am saddened to learn it will not continue, at least in its prior form. I know how challenging putting out a magazine can be. I am the editor-in-chief for Retouching Academy and we put out a paid bimonthly interactive magazine last year on iTunes and Google Play (and a lighter-weight pdf version) called RETOUCHED. Unfortunately had to shutter it, mostly for financial reasons. Soliciting content was always a challenge, even when we were willing to pay for it. Still, it was a fabulous experience and definitely helped aspiring artists hone their skills and make new professional connections in our community.

    I have really enjoyed your magazine and becoming a member of this passionate community of artists, so if you are still contemplating what direction DS Creative might take in the future, I would be more than happy to help you if I can.

    All the best,

    Philip

Hopefully it will start up again.. I know summer is bad for me and my art... vacations.. traveling.. gardening..etc... but when winter comes.. I need things to do!  Thanks for the great issues.. I hope to hear it continue soon ... All the best.. Hugzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

    As for tutorials:

    Lots of valuable information can be found in forum threads, but these are neither structured nor search-friendly.  If the magazin cames again, and you are still searching for content, why not asking the forum contributors if these forum instructions can be formed into a short written tutorial for the magazine?

    ...oh cool.

    DS Creative is the only place where I can find tutorials in printed format.  I have a very low retention factor with videos due to short term memory issues.

    Wonderful news 

    I also missed the printed tutorials as I really hate video tutorials

    Delighted to see you back! Thanks for all that hard work - I'll look forward to reading this one.

    Awesome!!  this is the best news I've heard today, so happy you are back!

    Wow, what was/is the countdown for? surprise

    I thought you might be back, but didn't expect it for a few months based on the countdown. :) (But I'm glad you are back. I always enjoyed the magazine!)

    + 10 on video tutorials :)

  • L'AdairL'Adair Posts: 9,479

    Yay!
    yes yes

    I'm really happy the magazine is back. I hope it won't be as time consuming for you guys, with the bi-monthly schedule. Like so many others have said, I find the written tutorials so much easier to use than video tutorials.

    Thank you.

    This is an unexpected happy surprise! I have a question, though. Who is the author of the article on page 40 about how to save poses? I don't see any author credit anyplace, and I'm curious.

    The table of contents states:

    "Seliah gives a quick Step-by-Step guide for the Beginning Content Creator"

    Does that help?

    Yes, thanks. I didn't see that. I was looking at the article itself.

    I only noticed it because I saw your question before I opened the magazine. (It was still downloading.) Then I noticed an image in the Gallery, credited to Seliah, but with Childe of Fyre credit on the image itself.

    Excellent! Congrats!

    I went away from Daz for a year or so and your 2015 issues provided a well-presented refresher of the good Daz Studio development I missed. 

    Bumping this up, many will find this good news!
