Say someone brand new comes to Daz and joins up and downloads the program.
What free stuff do they get these days? Just Genesis 3? Genesis 2 and 1 as well? The starter Essentials for each?

I started only a few weeks ago, and I made some great purchases and some not so good purchases.
Apparantly choosing which genesis model to stick with is down to what you want to achieve. I wanted the most realistic renders and up to date figures so I chose Gensis 3, however, extra detail might not be as important for you as having lots of choice, and many more mods and things to choose from at a lower cost (sometimes).
Once you've chosen which to go for, You'll want to find a character you like. When you look at characters there will be a little note saying which other products are required. Sometimes, you only need a base genesis character and the body/face morph pack other times you may need to purchase an add-on like Victoria 7. These characters are more expensive because of this.
No matter what you will probably want to buy the face and body morphs.
After that I personally bought hair options, and a great pose/prop set that came with lighting setups.
Aside from a few other accessories after that I was all set and created some really gorgeous renders very quickly. Having the premade set helped me to learn how to set a scene and light it correctly.
After that Ive puchased more detailed eyebrows, different characters, a lot more morphs, eye colour packs, shoes, more hair, beauty toes, sets, props, snakes... the list goes on lol.
Karuki, thanks for commenting...I'm a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG time member....such that I have starter packs that aren't even in the store anymore :) For undisclosed reasons, I needed to know what someone like you gets for free :)
Good on you participating on the forum. As a new user, you're going to have insite and perspective that a lot of us old timers have forgotten, so you're in an idea position to help other new users!
