Mine too! I wonder, did the catalog shrink for some reason though? Also Stonemason, Jack Tomalin, Feral Fey, Vyktoria and Sickleyield, InaneGlory.
Only so much time in the day though... Daz ought to rotate the gallery and front page imagery more.
Yeah, Outoftouch is actually pretty "in" touch if you ask me.
So many PAs, hard to say. Jack Tomalin environments well made and so well priced. Lately, I've been watching for sales with Linday, Ansiko, such great detail.
There are some PAs now that have really taken photo realistic models to the next level. AI Fan only has one Model out now 'Alfina', but she renders incredibly lifelike with good lighting. Bluejaunte and ISource Textures also have some fantastic models.
I've probably mentioned them before, but Aeon Soul has been killing it with designing futuristic casual wear that actually looks like something normal people would wear and not just strippers and exhibitionists.
While it's still hard to find some stuff, the Daz store today is certainly a lot better and more diverse than it was a mere three years ago, when you had PAs all the time always giving excuses why we couldn't get a good percentage of the stuff customers serious about using Daz as an artistic tool were constantly asking for.
I like the male characters of Tomars Animations and PedroFurtadoArts
KindredArts - Love their HDRI's for more artistic lighting/backgrounds. Also love their decal resources to help add much-needed details and customization to my pieces.
I have many. Just to mention two:
Capsces Digital Ink poses are full of life.
Fugazi / Ironman make some of the best interiors full of great props.
Oh and B.E.T.T.Y. props are so nice.
Stonemason, JoeQuick, Outoftouch, and more.
My latest favorites:
Sickleyield is actually a longtime favorite for many reasons, not just the cool creatures. Her tutorials (text & video) are the first I checked out and they are so easy to understand. I've seen her name repeatedly in this thread, but not a word about her light sets. I have several that are my go-tos, including Good To Go (at other store). On top of being easy to use, the manuals with those sets taught me a great deal about lighting.
Riversoft Arts has so many great utilities I've just started trying out. Bone Minion is as easy to use as advertised.
Arki I actually discovered through their old Gen 4 offerings, which work very well with G3 & G8 and take to Iray shaders. I was pleasantly surprised to discover they are still here with beautiful G8 pieces. (Not sure if they have any G9)
Silent Winter, especially the cyberpunk apartment series. I think I now own all the parts.
I add Xivon and Enterables to my list for the environment
Once again Faber Inc did a good job with Menfis and Ancient Egypt is still one of my favorite themes.
Faber is awesome!
If I made a list it would be super long and take me far too long to type up, but if someone forced me to pick just one it would have to be Lady Littlefox. I believe I own more content from her store than from any other PA. Her "Star! Original Figure" is the first 3D model I ever purchased and I still like that figure very much. I have purchased a huge amount of content from her and do not regreted anything I've gotten from her. I'm a big fan of her style, artisrty, and the quality of her work. Plus she's also a super kind person, which is awesome icing on the cake!
I also like dzheng content from another store.
My list would be pretty long, too. Here's a few:
KindredArts makes great landscape and environments, with other very useful effects
Fugazi/Ironman makes interior environments I really like.
Fe Soul, Outoftouch and Hair Studio are my go-to hair PAs for good styles, shaping options and variety.
HID3D makes incredible celebrity looklikes and the original characters are also amazing.
E3D also makes characters with a different style that just appeals to me.
Sickleyield makes all sorts of things that make me want to visit her page out of fiduciary curiosity. A lot of variety on this page!
Arryn makes fantastic dress outfits with customizable styles and colors that come at great prices. Most of the time you get shoes and jewelry, too.
And of course, Daz Originals. Too many products to mention but I enjoy most of the characters released and the add-ons made to really make them shine.
Pendragon is, if I remember correctly, Marcius's nephew who took over after Marcius retired.
AprilYSH, Toyen, Redz, ChevyBabe and Art Ken for hairs
Kooki, Spows, Redz and Faber are some of my favorite character artists
Stonemason, Mely, Polish and Enterables for environments
Sade (sadly no longer in the Daz store), NikiSatez and Anna Benjamin are some of my go-tos for clothes
For miscellaneous, I can't get enough of Esid and FenixPhoenix's wound products, Polish and CyborgNinja are my favorites for firearms, and ShanasSoulmate for tattoos
Chevybabe is my favorite hair artist, I love all her hairs. Shes's a rather nice person too :)
FINE, I edited you into my list.
I don't really have a favorite, they are all good and have their own niches, but early on mine was 3D Universe, but as I bought all his products that I wanted, I expanded and bought many more PAs' products, even PAs whose products I originally didn't like the genre they work. I came to appreciate their products and got those products too.
