    someone at least probably owns an item they have left to choose from for free textures ...

    I'm just returning items that I bought on the first day and re-purchasing them to qualify for the discounts.  It's a total PITA, and it sucks to add even more work on customer service, but as long as I leave enough to cover sthe sales for each day, it's totally within the rules.

    it all is just getting increasingly harder for me to render with my hardware

    those Dforce dog hairs are near useless to render for animation even static

    I would prefer a nice mesh hair or use Carrara and probably will have to make one myself which does not go well

    Disturbing thing? Is this a serious complaint?

    Not at all! I am not complaining at all, just pointing out the obvious.
    Okay, I might fear that the next big thing will be G9, which I like to see postponed until 2021 or later.

    Honestly, I just can't see buying into a G9 if it's not completely backwards compatible with G3/G8, as it would cost thousands of dollars in products and add-ons to get even close to what I can do now with my existing content base.  My big fear is that G9 will come with DS5 and that will end up breaking a lot of existing products in the same way that DS 4 destroyed so many DS3 utilities.

    Excellent! Thanks for the clarification :) At some point, G9 is coming. Later is fine.

    Absolute... my Lib. is Filled with tons of content fitting to G3/8 I am scared what will happen if we get a new G9 series... and yeah... how good will it be, WHAT could they even change? (I really don't know... the only big change I would wish is real anatomical stuff... I mean... I'm sure 70%+ use daz3d for the hot stuff).

    Any other changes do I not see who are needed...

    ALSO... a Problem I know as gamer... with the release of a new console got you alone with your old console, all played the new xbox/playstation and you sit there with your old one and no one produce content for the old one. So I would fear new content will just come out for a new Gen9 (or maybe 10... I mean after Gen3, we got 8).

    And about the topic, maybe they want that WE make the Freebies? :P

    I'm not the least bit surprised there haven't been new freebies since Christmas, look at all the freebies we got for the holidays, and we did get quite the haul this holiday season. The same thing happened last year, and this year (cause I can't remember if they did the same last year) they immediately start doing the PC sales and 20th Anniversary offerings (pretty much only for pc members). So unless you are a PC memeber, you just have to wait till they decide to get around to the rest of us.

    While in reality, the disturbing thing is that we already write the 19th day of January, and there is still no new Pro Bundle at the horizon!

    Maybe all the PAs came up with male figures suddenly, so DAZ has to wait until one finishes the next PWT to publish... devil

    The change in sales patterns, a drop in activity of new products being announced in the commercial thread, and no new G8 characters this month (except for the Dog 8 stuff, which seems to have been at least partially done back when Dog 8 came out), makes me think there is something on the horizon. Given that it's DAZ 3D's 20th aniversary, and I think it's a good bet that something new is on the near horizon.

    Thelack of updated to the freebie section may be because they are preparing for something new, or it could be because of change in website staffing, or maybe it just isn't a priority right now. It has happened in the past for with no obvious reasons indecision.

    ...or maybe like myself, you have most of the standalone content that has been offered as weekly freebies already.

    It is well know to long time DAZ enthusiasts that DAZ 3D operates in a realm outside the concepts of the human interpretation of space-time... 
    "Daily"... "Weekly"... "Monthly"... and yes, the most obvious of all, "Soon" are all constructs of the limited understanding of mortal human minds.

    It is difficult, but one must first free their mind of the way one has been taught that time flows... or even exists... Only then can one embrace the understanding of "DAZ-Time"... and perhaps even understand the concept of "DAZ Soon".

    This is no simple task, no easy journey, it is an adventure that can only be undertaken by those possessed of the strongest wills and truest hearts... 

    One must clear their mind of all expectations and preconceptions and mentally abandon the confines of linear time progression, abandon the lie of a mere three dimensions of space and a singular existence... they must reach beyond their perceived interpretation of the universe as it seems and only then can one truly see the universe unfold before them, to be one one with the infinite realities and possibilities that flow around us all and completely understand the boundless web of realities that make up the multiverses.

    Many have tried... almost all have failed... but the few that have transcended the veil of this apparent existence will tell you that time and reality as most know it are meaningless in comparison to DAZ-Time.

    Do not hold on to these mortal interpretations of "Daily", "Weekly" or "Soon"... reach out into that space between yourself and the universe and merge with it... be one with all realities... and only then will you understand that you already have all there is from DAZ... the freebies, the coupons the discounts ... you always have... it was always a part of you and you a part of it.

    Of course don't start this journey in a parking spot next to a meter or you'll get towed away and wake up enlightened, but locked in an impound lot, and it's really expensive to get your car released... same with doing it on a bus or subway, because that usually ends up with you enlightened, but missing your pants in a cold, dark bus depot or subway yard.

    Or you can chose to ignore these verisimilitudes, these apparent transgressions of time and expectations and just go "Megh... whatever..."

    The choice is yours... you can choose the blue gummy bear and remain content if not a bit bothered, or you can take the red gummy bear and go down the rabbit hole and see the universe as it is.

    That was metaphorical... don't stick your head in rabbit holes, some rabbits are very touchy about that and you are likely to get your head stuck and the rabbit will panic and bite your nose and you'll look real stupid with your butt sticking up in the air and your hands flailing, and if it's a slow news day you'll end up on CNN with firemen digging you out and pulling an angry rabbit off your face and you'll be labeled for life as "rabbit-on-the-nose guy" or "rabbit-on-the-nose girl" and you'll only be able to get work in a carnival as a weirdo covered in angry rabbits.

    The choice is yours.

    I guess that's all...

    Carry on.

    I understand I have already gotten the freebies for the last month except that I do not have them yet. Eventually I will had had them all along.

    It would be nice if they just put the breast morphs back. I mean nipples or no nipples? that a button in the materials pane. Also get rid of those stupid eye lash and eye brow things. Did anyone ever find out what the point of that was?

    Your journey has begun, you are ready... as you've always been...

    Also... before you start, you might want to take a quick bathroom break... there aren't a lot of rest stops in the ethereal planes between the multiverses.

    Not clean ones anyway.

    Those freebies are there for new users to have some content to start using the DazStudio quickly. Wouldn''t expect them to change all that often.

    That would be a valid point... if it weren't for the giant banner ad on the front page stating that new items are added every other week.  wink

    Hmm yeah.

    Oh and maybe some crotch fixes+nipple fixes, if you wanna use Female created clothes on males, Pants like to shrink in at the genital area and shirts make weird looks because of breast morphs...

    And yes even without adding anatomical elements.

    And I ahve to use Female clothes, because they get sooo much more content... and I like clothes which womans wear, I also like child clothes :D

  • kyoto kidkyoto kid Posts: 42,048

    ...the opposite can happen as well trying to fit male clothing (pants and shorts) to a female character  as the crotch area tends to distort noticeably due to having to accommodate the the "bulge" morph male figures have.
