That’s All I Can Stands – DireLilith's Den

an’ I can’t stands no more! – Popeye

That’s it. I’ve had it. I’m gonna do it. But why does it feel like I’m choosing to like, try some new drug or contemplate how to kill myself??

What is it? It’s me. Choosing to use Daz fucking Studio.

I see their pictures. I see the work they do. And I know I could do the same. I could maybe even do better.

And one of my favourite artists, Studio AD, made the switch. I was sure he never would but he did. And he’s fine with it. The switch was pretty easy for him.

So. I guess it’s my turn. This is me, downloading “Daz Central” right now. Even saying that, typing that, makes me friggin’ cringe. Ugh!

The reason I despise Daz so much is because they are like drug dealers. They created this amazing figure, namely Victoria 4, that I spent honestly thousands of dollars on getting content for over the last what, decade?? Then they upgraded her several times, but no one bit. Cuz we all loved V4 so much – and still do! But then they made another amazing figure named Genesis 3. And…if you were smart, you could get that to work in your Poser program, the program I use.

Then…they made Genesis 8….and it’s fucking amazing.

But they didn’t make it work in Poser.

Could they have? Damned straight. How do I know? Because MANY merchants at Renderosity.com make content that fits both V4 AND G8F (Genesis 8 female). So if a merchant can do it, Daz could have too, with all their tech and coders and the like. But you see, Daz decided they wanted their own 3D program. And though it takes V4, they wanted to corner the market. They made it so that if you wanted to use G8 series, you had to use it in Daz Studio.

Daz Studio itself is free. So is Genesis. But…content? And the learning curve? Harsh.

I invested in Victoria. I made my avatar, all my favourite WoW OCs, all my sexy times. I used V4. I could and do still use her! So why do I need to use G8 anyway?

Because. This.
