    This is embarrassing, but I assume that are others in the same predicament.as myself - trying to capture product pages of RDNA purchases...
     I can understand that some vendors have dropped their product lines over at RDNA, but why can't their product pages be left intact?  For discontinued products, another store leaves the product pages up, with a message saying the product is 'not available'.  I realize (and appreciate) that they are spending money publishing pages for products that by being no longer sold, no longer generate NEW revenue for them.  But for those who have ALREADY purchased these items, the availability of the product info is priceless for those wishing to locally capture it...

    I apologize for the venting....  if the RDNA policy could be stopped/reversed, it would be SO appreciated by many  (or at least ME!!)    ;-)

    Welcome RDNA folks - ever forward for sure, but... I agree:

    "the availability of the product info is priceless for those wishing to locally capture it..."

    As a great customer service, please re-enable the now-missing product pages, both from migrating vendors and those moved/moving on, and simply disable the purchase button? (and let us know over here if /when you do?)

    Many of those pages have the only available links to product PDF help-files, resources, and descriptions of what the products actually do. (many of the zips are sparse and assume you know what you bought - which we may have known a while back, but the wonderful marketing pages help remind those of us why we pressed the 'buy' button back then...)

    tia,

    I think when all is said and done, everyone needs to do what is best for them. I've respected DAZ and RDNA since the beginning. It appears Syyd, Colm & Traveler are happy with their new directions. I'll be excited to see the results of this new direction.

    Any chance you guys at RDNA could bring your forum software over? Please?

    Got tired of CTRL-F-ing for "forum" around page 9; is the RDNA forum going to be shut down? I just tried to register there, and got a redirect link back to this site. Seems an odd choice if the RDNA forum isn't going to be shut down.

    I can't be the only one hoping for a "Welcome RDNA Vendors" Madness day, can I? :)  (We know there will be a sale.  This Daz.  There is always a sale.)

    Why? Daz owns those forums now so it would be logical to be a member at Daz to post in them just like you need to be a member at Daz to post in this set of forums.

    I think when they get the store moved over, either the DAZ account will work in both forums, or they'll reopen the ability to register at RDNA since it'll be just for the forum

    Looks like the BNB Cobra Lily is not making the move to Daz :( Just saw it in a Hivewire newsletter

    Good thing I already had purchased it :)

  • Does anyone know if LadyLittleFox's "The Unicorn" will be integrated into the DAZ store?  (Her Star is here, so I'm hopeful that the rest of her content will be integrated as well... )

    I want to purchase The Unicorn on RuntimeDNA, but if it's going to be moved here, I'll wait.

    If it's going to be dropped or retired (if any moderators know), please inform me so I can buy it there before it vanishes forever in the merger.... 

    After my recent Bone Dragon removal here, I'm kinda paranoid about which essential products on my wishlists are going to be trashed without the possibility of ever purchasing them again anywhere.

    Please forgive if this was answered earlier in the post, (or elsewhere) but it's a 20 page post at this point...

    All Daz has said is "we will move everything that we can" so hopefully LLF will let you know if it will move or be retired as I think she is the only one who can say.

  • KhoryKhory Posts: 3,854

    The unicorn is/was very popular so I can't imagine it will not move. I would not be suprised if it got a big day like Star did actually.

  • kaotkblisskaotkbliss Posts: 2,914

    Since LLF has other products here, then I figure the only way it will not move would be due to retirement. Still I would hate to give the advice to wait and have the unfortunate happen. My thought is go ahead and buy it, when it does move it will be added to DIM as well as apparently have all the perks of regular Daz products in the content library.

    I had a bunch of freebies from RDNA show up today and they now show in my "Products" category in my content library tab with all the texture/prop/figure options in the product so I don't have to hunt for them anymore.

    2 RDNA content packages showed up in my DIM yesterday and those were RDNA freebies. Still be RDNA purchased content. 

  • Does the store still work over at RDNA?.. I am trying to purchase the advanced vehicle rigging tutorial videos but everytime I go to checkout I get redirected here but the product is not showing in the DAZ cart. Thanks in advance.

    Greetings,

    Just as a data point, I saw a few items that I had already bought came in yesterday, and they weren't in my download list in DIM even if I filtered specifically for them.  By the end of the day, they had shown up, but didn't bubble up to the sorting order I usually use; I had to go looking for them.  (I have ~500 items that aren't installed because I decided not to re-install V4/M4 stuff for a bit, so things sometimes get lost.)

    So basically, as long as your email addresses are the same, give it a day after the items hit the store.

    Do we have a timreframe of when the are aiming to have all the migrations done? It seems to be piecmeal-ish in execution.and I can't figure out the pattern. Example, we've got some of Littlefox's items but not all. When can we expect to see the awesome Bast bundle or her other hairs, plushies, etc hit?

  • DaWaterRatDaWaterRat Posts: 2,885

    I keep watching for Arki's stuff to migrate over... I hope she's going to migrate most of it.

  • kaotkblisskaotkbliss Posts: 2,914

    I keep watching for anything I have to migrate over. Some of the free stuff I have came over once, and 1 item I purchaced came over a few weeks later but that's all so far. :(

    I was hoping when the Unicorn by evilinnocence came over, I'd have more stuff ready. But it seems only the unicorn stuff was being worked on at this time.

    Perhaps a list of what's being worked on being posted so we could stop wondering each day if we're going to get some of our stuff or not.

  • KhoryKhory Posts: 3,854

    I think that they are trying to avoid dumping flood of new products into the store. It would mean that most of them would just vanish without them getting a chance to be really seen by most people. It looks like they are trying to put things into fairly manigable and related groups so that they actually get some marketing time rather than just a glut of stuff no one sees. It might seem like a good idea to dump a couple of thousand products into the store on the same day but that would totaly stink for the PA's those products belong to.

    Well, I suspect that we're going to be able to anticipate the theme of the April sales. Little showers of RDNA content all month long!

    I'm really going to miss the Deep Freeze collection. That was an excellent concept. When an item fades into minimal sales, but is still usable, tuck it into a separate collection and offer it as-is, at deep discount, without support. People will undoubtedly still buy it, beause newbies wander into 3D every day, and just about all of it was really good stuff, even if the textures weren't up to today's resolutions.So much better than Rendo's clearance/disappearance.

    Well - I have stuff from RDNA showing up in DIM, but not in the store. On the other hand I have stuff I bought showing up in the store, but not in DIM (or my product library) for weeks now ...

    Aaargh.

    If it's in the shop here but ot in your Runtime, and it has been weeks already, customer support is your best option. They would need to merge whatever got astray.

  • KeryaKerya Posts: 10,943

    I am a bit more patient ... some of my MortemVetus products took 3 weeks to show up - but they did.

    I made a spread sheet from the download pages at RDNA (upside: comes with order number, artist name and so on) and made two new columns: one for is in DIM, one for is at Daz, but not in DIM.

    So, if after some months something still isn't in DIM, I will raise a ticket.

    Finally got a few more things added to DIM... sadly if you click to see the info for any of them they take you to the dreaded "file not found" page.

    Thanks for the heads up, Spit! I had tons of his stuff in my wishlist over there. I bought a crap ton last winter, but I have too many wants in the 3D world.

    DIM just got updated tonight.  I tried the above and a few DAZ items popped up only in "Ready to Download"... Genesis/2/3 starter essentials and a G2 hand poses set. In "Installed" not all RDNA items show up... hmm... wonder why  Might be because I have latched onto all that DAZ has available at this time.  Thanks I'll try that in the future when I know they have added some more RDNA items and see what happens.

    This is for RDNA items purchased at RDNA. Not all have been processed yet--they seem to go in batches in line with what is being released. The ones not released at DAZ will probably come last?

  • DaWaterRatDaWaterRat Posts: 2,885

    Oh, here's an interesting wrinkle.

    One of today's transfers isn't showing up as purchased for me, even though I bought it.

    But I bought it as part of a bundle, and the rest of the bundle hasn't transfered over yet.  So do I let Sales know now, or wait to see what happens with the rest of the bundle.  Hmmm...
