#7 - FlippedNormals Welcomes Daz 3D to the Marketplace 

I have literally never seen DAZ used for anything other than horribly made NSFW videos

Introducing new 3d modelers to Daz 3d is like putting a child in a wheel chair who’s not disabled and having them use it all the time. People in the design world need to be challenged. As a student of Gnomon and other design schools. Z brush is difficult but that’s why it’s great it makes you better! Just my opinion.

Daz is super convenient and very fast for concepting and storyboards. Combine it with some overpainting and/or "creative AI upscaling" and you have VERY powerful tool.

In my opinion, Daz is a great tool for introducing 3D to complete noobs or hobbist. I started using Daz 9 or 10 years ago not for final 3d renders but for 3d references for my illustrations. As a starting point Daz figures can be very helpful; they won't solve all your problems, if you want to get the most out of them you still need to know sculpting, anatomy, modelling and texturing. When you think of Daz assets as complements, not subtitutes, you can create very interesting stuff.

daz base meshes have some great topology. good for retopo study

Daz 3D took the ideas of Poser and made them a bit more modern. They were lucky not to be handed off to a bunch of companies that didn’t know what the heck to do with a 3D app. That was Poser’s biggest problem. Daz has made the digital Barbie a far more versatile option than Poser did or could have.

No more horrors of scrolling through Daz’s own marketplace. The content there is horrid, it’s like searching for gold in a junkyard.

Daz3D offers NOTHING of value to CG professionals in the gaming & animated film industry those “genesis” models are useless once exported out of the base program where they are enhanced by proprietary joint correction and HD morphs that wont export to anywhere else. Even after you export a daz figure to Maya or max you need to re-rig the figure with a proper human IK control rig for animation because the Daz software is a kiddy toy app for posing and rendering still images with the OLD,DUMB brute force path tracer (Iray) that does not even support your RTX cards. Daz is rapidly losing its core user base of still image portrait & pinup, NSFW makers to generative AI which does such stills ALOT better than Daz studio without even needing a local GPU. and the popular NSFW animations are largely done with video game ripped Characters re-rigged with the source film maker game engine or Blender. People in the Maya, Blender,C4D community have known about DAZ for decades they just don’t care for good reasons .

I cannot believe anyone is still using Daz in 2024?! They must be paying you both substantially to promote such an outdated piece of software. Look at it! Look at the UI, look at the same generic "genesis" models that they've been (re)using for almost two decades. There is so little variation between figures that it's *instantly obvious* when someone has used Daz. Look at the quality of the 3D models in their store, mediocre at best. This video just highlights that FlippedNormals clearly needs another pay day from Daz. I hope sacrificing your credibility is worth it?

Take years to do something good in any form of art. It's because is difficult that has value. If it was something easy, from where the value would come?

Could've made it a German title: "DAZ ist gut, ja?"

Vast majority of people posting don't know anything about Daz3d. Did you know two of the vendors, Stonemason and AlphaSeed are actually content creators for high end games and what they sell in the store is the same quality as what's in games.

I’m not sure this is a good idea.

i have used Daz a long time before Blender and it is great for some creative fun!

Daz on ipad would be a bomb

Is it April 1 already😝

title should be, 'What DAZ 3D mean?'

DAZ 3D is truly the work of the devil. I've tried to install it on multiple computers for over ten years, and not once have I been able to do so without at least one error. The GUI is straight from hell and such a convoluted mess. I've come to the conclusion that everyone who uses it must be some kind of advanced sadomachocist.
