DAZ Studio has split into free and subscription versions. DAZ Studio 4.23 Premier ($18.98 a month at present, with auto-renew) has features not present in the free version. “Available exclusively to DAZ Premier members, this enhanced version…” etc. The paid features mentioned are…<\/p>\n

    – “batch rendering”
\n    – “new dForce management tools”
\n    – “advanced sculpting tools”
\n    – G8 to G9 “pose converter” and G3, G8 to G9 “shape transfer”.<\/p>\n

That’s it. Though add-ons also in the subscription are…<\/p>\n

* the various game-engine rig exporters
\n* a Blender “environments exporter”
\n* the DAZ to Blender Bridge
\n* the DAZ to Maya Bridge <\/p>\n

* There are also various monthly discounts on content, offers, etc.<\/p>\n

The Premier web page<\/a> also appears to imply that the DAZ Install Manager is now Premier-only. Though that would be strange if it were true. Why would DAZ lock their ‘content installer for dummies’ away from the mass of buyers? Anyway, never used it myself… so no loss.<\/p>\n

In fact, no loss at all. I wouldn’t use any of the above, don’t much care about G9, or about exports. As for the bundled discounts, I prefer to snipe the 70%\/80% discount bargains as they pop up on my Wishlist. <\/p>\n

Now, if they’d have had seamless AI integration, that would have been something. With depth and OpenPose renders plugging straight into ControlNet slots, even. Maybe Poser 14 will beat them to that? <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
