Finding Tutorials...

Xandyr78

Is there ANY way to filter the product library to specifically find tutorials, plugins, and/or utilities?  The site/store has a "hide items I already owned" option, so why not add a "show items I own" option?  I've purchased a great number of tuts, plugs, and utilities over the years, but it's often hard to narrow down what I still need to grab (if anything).
 

Maybe there's an easy workaround I'm just not considering. Anyone else interested in something like this...or have any ideas how to use it?

I use a product manager for DAZ Studio, and it's an amazing product, but not every tutorial, plugin, or utility has that word in its name/metadata.

Xandyr78,

It would be a welcome feature to apply filters to that degree of precision. The best I've come up with is  to tick of "N/A" in the "Figures" panel when I'm at the "Your Search Results for" page. Still, without hiding the items I own, I come up with 3191 items, mixing in tutorials, sceneries, environment sets, flora, faura, vehicles, etc. A lot to sift through, yes.

Hopefully some greybeard in the community could come up with better tips.

Cheers!

I use the website to browse the content I own as well as content I'm looking to buy. Doing it this way provides quick access to all the info and all the promos on the product pages.

In this case, go to the store (https://www.daz3d.com/shop/), then click on "Resources and Add-ons" in the teal bar at the top of the page. Then "Tutorials and Curriculums", etc.

From there, you can click on the checkboxes for "Hide Items I Own" or "Only Show Owned" depending on whether you're looking to buy, or to see what you own. I believe the checkboxes may be part of the Daz-Deals Extension.

Hope this helps.

Thanks so much for this.  I knew about sorting some things by Artist/Category, but the additional info really did help me.  It doesn't narrow things down as much as I'd like (I'd really love a keyword search that's a bit more robust than the site currently has), but it definitely helped me determine that something I was going to buy was something I already had an analog for that I'd purchased in the past.  Thanks so much, Greg!

Also, how's the rendering engine experiments going?

Sorry, Richard!  I'd thought I'd selected the Commons before starting my post, but apparently not.  Appreciate the assist, and the heads-up!
