Am I dreaming? Daz 3D software for FREE (!!)

In their site it says "for a limited time", so better get while we can (registration required):

http://www.daz3d.com/i/3d/free-3d-software-overview

Free is always good....I grabbed those the last time they were free...:>)

Bryce was far from the first 3D program I ever used, but when it came out it was SO much more advanced than the rest. First time I saw it I was thinking NO WAY!

I have been in the DAZ website since 2007. Although JUST NOW since last November I have began to learn how to make things in 3D (I had not had time before and also my computer was very old, and Is just now that I got a more powerful computer to do 3D)

I am a DAZ platinum member club since two years ago, and I recommend it totally and absolutely, because you will SAVE LOTS AND LOTS OF $$$$$$.

I was going to put this news here, but I did not know if it would be useful, sorry that I thought wrong.

There is one very good reason, why DAZ have just made it available for free in the beginning of february, and is because in March is the Greatest and Biggest SALE AND DISCOUNTS MONTH that each each is made and is called MARCH MADNESS, and they have between 40 to 70% discount, and sometimes on some very selected things are even 95% discount. And also each day they make new product offerings specially made for this SALE MONTH FESTIVAL.

They are giving all this $700 software for free for you motivate and to buy all the additional resources that they sell in the 3D Store.

I'm a bit sad because I won't probably have much time to mess with this cool programs any time soon

Downloaded. Thanks for posting it, lipebianc.

Thanks for the info, SpaceRay.
I hope I'll have time soon to play with all the DAZ stuff I downloaded.

The offer has been extended to end of April 2012 !!!

I want to give the news that this DAZ Studio Pro is STILL given for FREE in the Daz 3D website and it has been upgraded to version 4.6 with more new and useful features. And there is not trick about this and you will not have to pay anything else to use it, just register with your account, and there is no time limit.

And now it will be given for free always until further notice.

I have seen in PixelSlaughter thread

PixelSlaughter I first create in 3D, then processing by my FF filters, then some retouch.

I do not know what 3D software he may be using, but I wanted to bump this thread again also for FF users that wanted to make some 3D graphics works but do not have the money to buy the expensive 3D software.

Hexagon isn't free any more. It is 19 USD now i believe.
What is very cool is you can use the same serial on different machines. I have installed Hex on 4 different computers now and have had no problems whatsoever.

Anyways i am happy i grabbed mine when it was offered for free.
Excellent 3D modeling software.

adding a few good sources for paid models:
On Target 3D
YURdigital

DAZ STUDIO IS STILL FREE FOR UNLIMITED TIME

I want to put there that 3D DAZ Studio Pro 4.6 is totally free to get and there is NO limited time to get it,, so until further notrice it will always be free.

I bump this thread again because I know that some of you like to use 3D textures made with filter forge, and maybe this free 3D software could help or be useful in some way.

DAZ ... old time Metacreations. You guys bring up my childhood days using Carrara to model my first wooden spoon.

DAZ STUDIO 4.6 IS STILL FREE FOR UNLIMITED TIME

You only need to register in the DAZ 3D website and you can download and use it

What would be really good ans useful is to know HOW to use FF 3D Textures inside DAZ in the best possible way, as I still have problems with this.

Skybase DAZ ... old time Metacreations

YES, I was a great fan of Metacreations company as they have really cool and great innovative ideas and different as any other, with a better and excellent interface intuitive and very graphical and elegant, but later was dissolved and was bought by at least 4 different companies, one of them DAZ.

Totte Sad that Bryce still is 32 bit only and wont work on anything newer than OS X 10.6 on Macs.

So you can´t use any 32 bit only software in newer OS X than 10.6? In windows it is possible to use 32 bit installing it in a special folder dedicated for 32 bit software.

Maybe, as Bryce is very popular, they could make Bryce 8 64 bit.

SpaceRay do you know if DAZ Studio have export to OpenCollada(.dae)?

Totte yes I know that Sketchup is not good with Collada and have not used that much.

I need Collada because that is the only format I can import as to my platform, and I am using Maya 2011 now. It would though be nice to find something less expensive now, and DAZ could be it.

I bought Strata Vision 3D in 1989 or so, then Bryce 2.0, then I lost the 3D until 2008 when I got Cheetah3D, then 2010 I found DS. I also had Poser 3.0.. lol
Time flies... Now I make textures with FilterForge, like these...
