Hi there.
What about a final version of Daz Studio "2025"? Daz will have to rename it in "Daz 2026"...  

That's just a "code name" for the Alpha, the final release will be named DAZ Studio 6, as I can see.

Like for Genesis jumping from 3 to 8, DAZ Studio will jump from 4 to 6. 

I know 4, 5, 6, 7 are used for Victoria... but I wonder if 5.x has been used for any DS applications ? Why does it jump from 4 to 6 ?   

This one is about https://www.daz3d.com/dj-remixed by zoro_d which includes headphones not shown here. The character is https://www.daz3d.com/p3d-quinty by P3Design using the original IRAY(!) texture. Hair is https://www.daz3d.com/hs-mirage-strands-hair-for-genesis-9-8-and-81-females by Hair Studio which is available atm at Quick Grab for $2.79 (premier). Oh, and the pose is from https://www.daz3d.com/classic-pin-up-standing-poses-for-victoria-6 by FeralFey (not shown in the previews for some reason). 

Here is Genesis 2 female with some dial-in morphs. She is wearing Gaia for Victoria 4 (Dress textures are a freebie from the 2025 Fantasy Attic's Annual Halloween Gift, Halloween Gaia Gown by GlassLady) and her skin texture is Marvlynn V4 by Shadow_Dancer (Also from the gifts page). With her is the Millennium Cat with a free texture ThaiCat for DAZMillCat by czarny_jednorozec84 and the Owl pendant by  emanuela1 also a gift. The environment is one of the free backgrounds from the halloween gift page by EarwenM. The trees are the Dark Trees here at DAZ, Traveler's spooky tree and jacko'lanterns. Dreampaint's forrest set, Xfrog's bushes.

She Walks Among Us

In the 1980's and 1990's the UK's Victorian towns had been neglected for far too long. Too little investment, contracting industry, high unemployment, and too little care over the environment. It filtered through the towns into a general lack of effort. Here is an image showing something of what it felt like at times. 

Fortunately, the neglected buildings are now - by and large - appreciated and complete towns have benefitted.

FW Naida, Rattlepaws, Little Urban Disaster, 2 Northern Terrace Street Back Yards and Northern Terrace Street. Naida's clothing is from RPublishing PeaceKeeper G3F (can't remember the shoes) and she has Juliet G2F hair by SWAM. The sun-sky settings are UltraScenery XT Materials and Skies Early Morning - worth getting in a sale for the sky settings alone if you do outdoor scenes, even if you don't have USXT. Needs more rubbish on the street, though. In the early 1990's our council street sweeper contractors came round the Victorian streets every 5 years (the 'Posh' bits of town were done bi-weekly), just before contract renewal, and left the muck to build up between times. In a couple of streets (ours included) the residents swept the street themselves every now & again because no-one else was going to, least of all the people paid to do so.

Oh, and the same style of terrace houses appear in the industrial towns in the south of England, they aren't restricted to the North, I do think the name is slightly misleading. The houses in NTS are a price step above my first house (no bay window) and a step below my second (with an inset porch and an eyebrow roof over the single story bay window).

Regards,

Richard.

After k-gang, I decided to start a new thread for your Favorite Toons: Lady Littlefox's Cookies and RedSpark's Chips

Furries like Peaches and Pickles are included

Morphs like Cookie Dough, Chip Dough, and Fuzzies are also included

I recommend using Daz Studio, Poser, or any 3D software for your projects.

Richard those errors are for the base Michael 4, Victoria 4, etc.

I ran the "bat" files  you mentioned, and the problem still exists.

** Edited to add***

I just used DIM to uninstall and reinstall  the M4 (etc) files. They work now.

Richard, please give me some credit here. As previously stated, I used DIM exclusively to install all the content.

I think someone needs to look over the content before they assume I made a mistake.

It sounds like I'll need to take some more of my valuable time to provide proof of these mistakes made by DAZ.

I'm already finding new problems. None of the "major generation 4 figures" will load in DAZ Studio. That includes Victoria 4, Kids 4, Michael 4, Freak 4. I get the following error.

I think DAZ should hire me for Quality Control.

Morphs such as Puppet, Puppet 2, ManiKen, Posey, Penelope, Peepot and Morphius are also included and permitted.

Hi there, 

this may be a noobish question - I just got Magic Brush's Xaria after being swayed by the nice promo pics. However, when loading her into DAZ, she has almost glowing skin. I've included a picture with Victoria as a comparison, using a Click'n'Render-Preset. A snippet from the promos is on the right.

I tried messing with the surface settings, looking for reflectivity and the like, but I don't really know much about how all the knobs and sliders work together. Is there something I can fix, or does the promo use a particular environmental setting?

Cheers!

Which G9 Core has the closest body type to Victoria 7, Victoria 8 repectively? What are the head-ratios for V7, V8 and V9?

thanks

Daz still hasn't added Carter 9 to the Premier bundle selection, but did change some older bundles. Current crop is Audrey, Kiki, Lunardo, Vicky, Toshi, Zahara, Snow Queen, Ally, Amelia, Pixie, Victoria.

Add me to the list of Folks Who Just Aren't Feeling It. I decided to take the 20% off 1 month of Premier offer (can't afford the discounted yearly), but if I buy anything, today, it will be a few Outlet/Quick Grab stuff.

you got 20% off a 1 month membership? I'm not seeing that at all.  

It was an orange banner & in messages. Also offered a code for 30% off DOs but the selection was mostly full price so I skipped that. I was going to rejoin toward the end of the month anyway.

@emanuela1, thank you. Yes I am the same Dollygirl that gave out the jewelry. I am considering putting my stuff up on Rendo but I have obligations that are keeping me away from getting the freebies updated and presented better. It will be a while.

Here is the third installment of the use of some of the freebies being offered this month. I used EarwenM's Fall Backgrounds 2 as the background street. Victoria 4 is Demetria V4/A4 by shadow_dancer wearing Witch Hunter for V4 using Witch Wonder textures by panthia. The little girl is a Webboid wearing amyaimi's deforce dress and PeTeGe's hat. Kitty is wearing Little Dragon's t-shirt with The Machiavelic by Aelin textures.

I call the piece, Walking Though Town

A wonderful render, "Walking Though Town", that captured the Halloween atmosphere. Well done, DollyGirl! Thank you very much for using so many of our freebies. It is so motivating to see that the own freebies are used in renders. So lovely that you have added the female Webboid character with Amy Aimei's dress.and my hat. The Webboids are great free cartoon characters. When I have time, I will create more freebies for the Webboids. Very nice that you have the cat in too.

Welcome to yet another round of RRRR. This time we're having a theme, and the theme is The Lyrics. The idea is to render an image that pictures a piece of lyrics from a song, You can always, as usual in the RRRR, make your own lyrics and your own made up band and song, otherwise you post band/artist : song name with the post. Check the entries only thread, first post, for an example on how to post an entry.

RRRR stands for Random Runtime Roulette Renders, and it's a contest that has been running for over twelve years now, on and off. We invite anyone to enter, specially all those new users who have shown up the past years. This is not the usual make a very nice render contest but more like tell a really great story, often fun, with your render!

How does it work?
Make your pull of 4 items, and if your any Lucky Bastards, you pull one extra item per LB.

Who can play?

Anyone can play!

How do you prepare yourself for play?

The rules are very simple, but first you need to have all your items in some kind of order in a text file, dumped from the itemized history into a text file or a spread sheet. Remove things like software, gift certs, and special plugins from the list and items that wil not work with the software you work with.
 For example if you have items for Poser, Bryce or Carrara, and want to use DAZ Studio, remove those other items from your list. If you have loads of older figures, M3, M4, a ton of non Iray stuff and you only want to use Studio with Iray, remove all the junk from you list. 

Then you use a randomizer to randomly pick items from your list (your Runtime/My Library) for your start pull . You can use items from any store. Now build a scene with those 4 items plus any other items you want to add to make a fun scene. For newcomers I heartly recommend looking at the previous contests below to get ideas how you can do this. 

Working randomizer:: https://www.random.org/integers

There are some situations where you allowed to redraw, these are:


- You pulled something that doesn’t work, broken thing, only works in a version / software not used etc etc, or you forgot to remove that item from you list even though you knew it wont work, or figure that out later.
- You pulled a software or add-on to a software or anything you should have filtered out from the list.
- You pulled only huge environment props and will not be able to render a scene without crashing.
- You pulled an item you already have been using in two RRRR renders in this content and that was picked randomly. Three is a curse - rule!

Lucky Bastard Rule!
I say this again: If you have Lucky Bastards, you pull one extra item for each LB you have, simple as that. 
Explaination of Lucky Bastards. 
Lucky Bastards, or LBs, are a form of handicap system which makes the contest a little more difficult for those who have won.

Current Lucky Bastards Standings

How to play?
You pull, you compose and you Render. You post your images and pulls in this thread (Don't miss that, entries without pulls and posts in this thread will be disqualified!!).
Then the entry should also be posted in the Entries only thread

Bundles
If you pull a bundle, use two or three complete items from it, or more if you like, but you do not need to use all, but only picking a hairpin from Victoria 8 Pro Bundle is “too little”. Clarification: A bundle still counts as only one pulled item.

Poses, Expressions and textures/colors
If you pull a pose pack, an expression pack or a texture/color pack, you only need to use one of them, not all. For example if you pull 500 expressions for Genesis 8 Female, use one, if you pull 128 colors for Frappe Hair, use one.
Accidenty breaking the TOS
If your entry is removed by the forum mods because it accidentally, not deliberate, broke the TOS, you do not have to redo that entry but can move on and make a new pull. 

The rules of madness! 
Now you have successfully and randomly picked your items, make a scene, you can add other items as well but the one you picked should be prominent or cleverly used. Render it, post it and make us all laugh! Remember though that the renders must follow the TOS of the forum. As we have a theme on the contest, the render should in some way touch that theme. 

The contest categories! 
There are two categories Best and Funniest. Every image will compete in both categories.

Contest duration!
It starts now at Wednesday October 15 - 2025, and will go on until Sunday December 28, 2025 at 23:59:59 local DAZ time. 

This months sponsors so far:
acb is sponsoring with $50 in Daz GC
Totte (Code 66) is sponsoring with two items from his store
Elliandra is sponsoring with two items from her store
3Diva is sponsoring with two items from thier store
Dartanbeck is sponsoring with items from his store

We want more sponsors!

Do you want to sponsor the RRRR?
Please chip in a gift card sponsorship, sponsors can play, they should play, they are even extra encouraged to play, as sponsors always plays for keeps.

Maximum number of entries? 
For this round it will be a maximum of 12 entries per player.

So, good luck and start your render engines!

30 days is nothing, I am still waiting on a sales ticket I submitted in March when I upgraded to premier. That is 6 months, and no response at all in that time. In the past sales tickets where answered in a day or two. DAZ owns me 20 odd dollars due to not discounting my premier membership by the amount I had paid for the year of DAZ+ I lost. I expect tech support tickets to take a long time, but not sales support.

If they feel I am not entitled to the money, the least they could do is anwer the ticket and say so. Instead I got 6 months of silence. We were told back in March to be patient as DAZ had many similar tickets to resolve, but I feel 6 months is stretching the patience a bit far.

I am not sure what to do now. I could raise the ticket again, but that would likely be ignored again.

Don't feel alone I have been waiting for six months also. Already had Premier monthly but took them up on yearly when it was offered. They started yearly before my monthly was over so I didn't get my monthly bundle yet. I requested a monthly bundle from them. No reply at all. 
 
I also asked Daz's AI about this. AI Victoria was going to make a ticket on this for me. Never heard from anyone on AI's ticket either. I finally looked and that ticket was in with my unanswered one but that ticket was completely blank!  Thanks  AI!
