More tabs of all kinds sounds wonderful. Great suggestions in the thread so far.
I use the genre tab constantly. I would love an Ancient Greece and Rome option. Other periods/cultures too.
when trying to search toons more categories would be great.
Filtering out pc or only pc both useful.
also having the tabs work better on iPad, so you aren't constantly clicking thr row above would be great!
Yes!!!
1) I don¨t use genre fitlers, they are too useless. (too broad)
2) None of them, they suffer from same problem. (also seem to be made from american perspective)
3)Frankly, forget genres, we need better filtering.
I would like to have semi-permanent filters. E.g. I am not at all interested in any character below Genesis 3, and it would be nice to configure that once and it is rememebred while logged in. The filter should be flexible to select what I want included in or excluded from the search result.
An SQL-like example: select * from daz_products where character is not in (genesis, genesis_2, genesis_3)
...one change that would solve a lot of this would to just have a well designed search engine with filters so customers can narrow down the options to not have to slog though 50 or more pages of items thy have no interest in.
I've actually seen it on a few sites and it works pretty well.
Please put back on product pages Required Products with indication of the ones we already own and Add-ons.
While I think cultural categories like "Black culture" is an idea filled with potential landmines as there isn't one Black culture and if it only includes things that are stereotyped thats awkward
on the other hand, for characters white characters vaaaastly outnumber anything else and it can be a pain to try to sift through all the characters as pasty as I am :) If I'm looking for a Black character or Asian character or what have you
also from an organization standpoint I think it probably would help to have categories and filters stuck near each other or, even better, fold them into one thing. some of the stuff people have been mentioning are things that exist as categories up at the top, but despite serving a very similar function they are completely separated from filters despite serving a similar function.
you can go to the categories bar and hit resources and add ons > shaders,
you can go to people and wearables > genesis 8 people,
you can go into a sale page and and filter by genesis 8 people,
but you can't go into a sale page and filter by shaders?
also pls bring back addons for products I still miss that
say if I am on the product page for a clothing item and it has a texture add on that texture addon is listed right there.
finding texture addons for clothing is painful with the current system - sometimes they don't actually have the clothing item they're addons for in the name and they are literally impossible to find.
Black culture genre risks to be a wide open door to systemic racism and, if not, to be peceived as so.
As could ignoring Black culture, surely?
Required products are listed for me, if you are not seeing them it may be a browser or plug-in issue.
I checked and you're right. However, it doesn't appear on my iphone anymore.
Was coming here to say the same thing. I don't need anything massive like filtering based off of prop, vehicles, lighting, etc. But just a simple "Do not include figures or figure assets in search" would be great. It can be frustrating and boring trying to find props or set pieces for a theme during a sale and then you're wading through tons of search results of genesis clothing.
on my iPhone I see them only if I turn the phone so that the page is in "landscape" mode.
@Leana
Thank you so much for the tip :)
I totally agree.
Yes, but my comment is also valid for latin culture, indian culture and so on...
And so is "White culture" such a thing just doesn't exist and only racist believe in their existence. When we talk about culture we have to narrow far more down to a small local area like a few villages, and even that could be too broad to be valid.
So the only thing I could think about genre would be either your mothers' book genres like mystery, romance, fantasy etc. Or instead, go by "time period x" and "fictional but based on the time period x". Where I prefer the latter, thanks to all the blurred lines we have in the book genres by now. (Contemporary sci-fi romance novel? Seriously wtf?)
At risk of getting these posts deleted or getting the thread closed, I would argue with this. There was a suggestion earlier in this thread (or maybe another one) that something representing historic African culture (for example) would be nice. I agree. What on Earth's racist about that?
Which Black culture are we talking about? It's not a monolith any more than is European culture. U.S. urban Black culture? U.S. rural Black culture? What time period? African Black culture? What part of Africa? Caribbean Black culture?
Perhaps it would have been better if I had used the plural. That is certainly what I was thinking.
Could I suggest a geographic area & date range for these? Eg Classical Southern Europe 2500BP (B[efore]P[resent]) etc. That will probably avoid treading on any ethnicity & cultural toes or any religious based date systems. It does, however, require a fair degree of knowledge about history. I really couldn't be sure when the Benin cultural flowering happened (think it was 800-400 BP in West Africa), but being able to look at such models would be good.
Regards,
Richard.
While I have used 'Vendor' sort option at the top of the store frequently, I don't remember using the other choices offered before. I just tried out 'Places and Things' and 'Resources and Add-ons' and noticed that they could be then filtered by program and then below further filtered by the categories we are being asked to offer suggestions for. I even found a set of Asian vases I had missed and have wishlisted them. This sort option should be more prominently displayed.
Two weeks ago, I went on a search for things Medieval/Dark Ages/Viking/Weapons/Clothing/Hairs that I might need to add to fill in gaps for a series of renders I was going to work on. It was frustrating to a degree and took a couple days and my wishlist grew. And then, Daz put most of those items into the $3.99 March Madness sale. So it was worth the time for me. But, it would have helped to have an easier search. Also, I was searching on my iMac, using Google Chrome and I was not seeing Required Items. I had to search for that and check to see if I had it or not. And I have Ati's add-on as well.
But I also in my own files recognize that the Greco-Roman architecture spread across Northern Africa, the Middle East, and up into Europe and England, just as Arabic architecture influenced Spanish, Italian, and later the Southwest United States, Central and South American architechture. Or the Japanese esthetic has influenced the Pacific NorthWest. And Africa is more than mud huts and colonies that went away when I was still in school in the 1960s. There is some vibrant growth there that puts America to shame.
And when I saw the word 'Indian' I wasn't sure if you meant South Asian or First Nation Peoples.
Categories by region and by period would be nice:
By region:
North america
Central and south america
Western europe
Eastern europe and Russia
Africa
Australia
Middle-east
India
Asia
Australia
Indonesia
By period:
Prehistory
Antiquity
Middle ages
Renaissance
16th and 17th
18th and 19th
20th
21th
Futuristic
P.S. Maybe the categories by region should include a universal category...
I know I'm going to sound like a smart aleck, but you only need one category: Fantasy. I think the 3D world has been unable to grasp the potential of other applications beyond fantasy. BUSINESS, MANUFACTURING, EDUCATION, INDUSTRY, and much more, especially if greater levels of photo-realism were produced. I can do so many things for business applications in the commercial world and increase the sales of my art and concepts if I had more tools to work with. But the 3D world just can't think beyond elves and skimpware, for the most part.
I don't think you can fathom the size of the absolutely massive flamestorm this would ignite...
Is that category search in the blue bar new? I'm feeling like an idiot for never noticing it before. It helps ameliorate some of the search problems I've experienced, so glad to see a step in that direction!
1) Yes, I use the genere dropdown all the time though "contemporary" is releatvely useless because it's so vague and there's so much stuff in that category.
2) I wouldn't find any of those categories useful.
3) One of the most serious problems I have with store categorization is that poses and animation are bundled together. They have nothing to do with each other and it makes finding an animation product imposible among the gazillion pose packs.
Would also like to see sub-categories for Sci-Fi which I search on a lot. Most everything these days seems to be Cyberpunk which is great but it's not always what I'm looking for. There's Retro (30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, all different) Space, Alien, Dystopian, Steampunk (which is already separate,) Dieselpunk, Atompunk, Utopian, Robots, etc.
Also, why do a million pose packs show up when you filter for SciFi? What's a SciFi pose? Filtering all those pose packs out would help a lot.
