Description
(bah-bobbidee-BOM!) Got the email notice- "Get yourself Studio 3!"
(bah-bobbidee-BOM!) "It's a much better product - and you can try it for FREE!"
(bah-bobbidee-BOM!) So I downloaded it just to see what it could do...
(bah-bobbidee-BOM!) And now you know its got me - SINGING THE BLUES!
(BOM! BOM! BOM!)
Oh yeah - I'm singin' (bom-bom)
Singin' those DS3 blues! (bom-BOM-bom-bom)
Oh I've never felt so stymied (bom-bom)
Shot down, whatever I do... (bah-bom-BOM)
(bah-bobbidee-BOM!) So I tried my first render, lets see what I got
(bah-bobbidee-BOM!) Freebie lights and shaders work fine, but nothing I BOUGHT!
(bah-bobbidee-BOM!) They say "No memory-based runtime errors no more"
(bah-bobbidee-BOM!) But now I'm seeing, errors that I have-not-seen-before!
(BOM! BOM! BOM!)
Oh yeah - I'm singin' (bom-bom)
Singin' those DS3 blues! (bom-BOM-bom-bom)
Oh I've never felt so stymied (bom-bom)
Shot down whatever I do... (bah-bom-BOM)
(bah-bobbidee-BOM!) Nothing works just like it used to, oh what a mess
(bah-bobbidee-BOM!) Which "content" folder to use, just gotta guess
(bah-bobbidee-BOM!) But wait what is that - hey that is just too COOL!
(bah-bobbidee-BOM!) Tucked away here and there - way too awesome tools!
(BOM! BOM! BOM!)
Oh yeah - I'm singin' (bom-bom)
Singin' those DS3 blues! (bom-BOM-bom-bom)
Oh I guess it's worth the effort (bom-bom)
Just gotta relearn every-little-thing-I-used-to-do! (bah-bom-BOM)
OH YEAH!
(bobbidee-bobbidee-bob-i-dee... BOM!)

My first (successful) Daz Studio 3 effort. Minimal postwork: painted a couple of stubborn clothing seams and added the logo is all.
Well, its clear this is a major upgrade with LOADS of wonderful and worthwhile stuff. But a good deal of the existing DS 1.x and 2.x tools and techniques either don't work at all or don't work the same. The shaders and lighting are particularly an eye-opener. Still, it looks to be VERY worth the effort to learn how to use this watershed version. The problems are more annoying than damning.
Since I don't want to re-do (yet again) the shaders and surfaces on my Aranée characters, I guess I'll hang on to my trusty 2.3 and finish the series with that product... (sigh)

Funny song and great render!!!
I appreciate your thoughts on DS3 - and a very creative way to convey them! Cool render - nice atmosphere and light! And I think I am sticking with Carrara...
Very cool render and awesome song! I admire you I cannot used Daz to save my life heck even dloading goodies from there to Poser is stressful. You do a wonderful Job!
I know the feeling, cool image.
Excellent!
Dont use the product but I have to say that is a great poem and could probably be used in a whole range of software upgrade products. Yea, you probably don't want to change horses in midstream with your series.... it would probably cripple it. Hang in there.
lol Ohh no...maybe I best not get it then...I am just figuring out how to maneuver in the DAZ I have got...LOL GREAT image:-)
Great render! Lighting and tone is excellent!
I didn't mean to convince people to NOT try the product, quite the contrary. But I AM strongly urging everybody to plan on running 3.x and 2.x at the SAME TIME until you get comfy with the new world order LOL. ;-)
Great song! wonderful image! I have to wait til I get a new 'puter before I give it a try.
How come I get an error message every time I try to view this image full size!?%#@! is that a 'B flat minor' ? nice job!
Luckily, I was just starting in DAZ so I really didn't learn to do much before the update. I still don't know much. Lol. But you are right, there are some way cool things available. Neat new tools, too. But, oh, man. Does it ever love the crashin' blues! I've figured a way around the crashing updater. (scan for new files) I load them all into DAZ 2 then open 3 & update my settings from 2. This seems to work & from then on, it will work ok in 3 until there is an external update, or you get a new toy. Then you got to do it again. I highly suggest you keep your previous DAZ installed on your pc. & no, I can't find anything, either... lol! Cool render here. Love the song! ")
Looks great Larry and huge congrats on your first effort turning out so well
good looking picture with a little tweaking here and there would of been a good tribute to MJ. You're a poet and I didn't even know it - lol
wow! this is excellent scene larry and great song...
Excellent!
You can add 96 more verses by singing the carrara-blues - lol
Wow excellent and the lighting is well Awesome!
LOL!!! I'm just starting to play with Daz, perhaps I'll wait a bit, and avoid the blues. The art being presented from daz3 looks amazing,.......love the song!!!
Great scene! Wonderful pose. Haven't tried the new version yet... need a new computer I think :)
Beautiful scene.... magic environment and figure. particular character..Excellent Work...!!!
LOL, I feel ya man! If I can get past where to install things, I may get a chance to play with the cool new toys, rofl. Excellent image, and great little diddy you've written :)
Cena a ambientação impressionante meu amigo, a canção descreve perfeitamente, brilhante realização, aplausos (5)
LOL, well you did an awesome job there !!!! thanks for the giggle, love it :D
Really great, think I'll stick to Poser!
Beautiful composition and work my dear friend, excellent done....love it.
Excellent composition, very well done! 5+
Outstanding work with Daz, Larry!Fantastic posing and lighting!
Very clever! Too bad the message got a little misinterpreted by some. I picked up 3A immediatly to get the better deal but won't bother with it until a few more plugins get updated. The transition process is such a pain.
Great render and humor, Larry. I installed DS3 Adv 64 bit a few days ago...it is very very fast. But it annoys me.. that most plug-ins don't exist in a 64 bit version yet. I guess i can throw my Dynamic clothing control in the garbage can. #;oD I asked about that in the DAZ forum yesterday. Some admin suggested that i should have 2 Daz Studios on my new PC. A 32 bit version, and a 64 bit version...What kinda solution is that? ...Some times i really hate DAZ #;oD
