I got the same answer except I do not have the "Choose plan" button on Premier section....
The blurb says
so maybe, even if you are already a member, there is a slight delay? We will ask.
The product shouldbe there, though apparently the actual files are missing. Check which Install State filter (along the bottom) you are using - All or Avaialble will show things you haven't installed. I generally fin it easiest to use the Install pane, which shows only and all uninstalled products.
I have two questions, pardon me if they have been answered already - there's a lot of posts here to get through.
The first question is about the coupon - if I already used my 6$ coupon, and I upgrade to Premiere will the Premiere coupon be marked as used?
And second, I know someone hinted there might be more character bundles this month, was there any confirmation on that ( I know Vicky was released today, I mean beside that one)?
On your first question, yes, you'll get additional coupons. It's confirmed in the sticky thread at the top of this forum. May be worth spending both your Daz+ coupons before upgrading your membership.
Ah... thank you Richard, but still nothing is found in Smart Content > wherever Installed, Available, Pending, yada yada ~
Thank you.
Please pardon me if these questions have already been answered, but I've looked unsuccessfully for the answers. Does anybody know:
1. How long will the personalized offer to upgrade from DAZ+ to Premier will last?
2. How long will the current batch of Free character bundles be available to choose from? (I quite like the Walter one with the hair and beard)
3. How long will the Vicky 9 Anime Dark Elf Shape Add-On be available to Premier subscribers?
4. If you don't get the Vicky 9 Anime Dark Elf Shape Add-On while it's available, does that mean there will be no way to ever get it? (or other future exclusive Premier add-on content)
Thanks in advance for any info anyone can provide - it's much appreciated!

it says "Offer expires October 23 23:59 MDT (UTC-6)" so I assume only people who joined before that will get it.
Oh thanks @Leana - missed that and must be blind!
I, like many I assume, would rather wait until my current DAZ+ expires before switching to Premier and am trying to figure out exactly what that means I'll miss so I can make an informed decision.

If the upgrade were the difference in price between Daz+ and Premium at the current market rate, I would have considered it, but I am not throwing away several months of value when I am subbed until 11/2025.
DAZ Connect somehow returns...
More accurately Connect Encrypted Content, in the worst possible form. Tied to so much other stuff that now they don't have to worry that their encrypted content won't sell so they don't have to worry about folks refusing to purchase it, which is what eventually killed off the last push for Connect Encrypted.
Since I just had a little over a month remaining on my PC/Daz+ membership, I decided to take the deal for a free trial of premier. It's bittersweet, I've been a member for over a decade, but the new price and no annual option means I'll have to let it go for now. The trial of premier will make for a nice grand finale celebration during these sales, so I am grateful for that.
Thanks. The product is now available for download. My suspicion was confirmed, though. The shape addon comes with a character preset that needs materials from the Toon Vicky 9 figure. Looks like it was supposed to be a permanent part of the bundle. It should've used the Base Toon G9 to avoid error reports from individuals who don't own Vicky.
If my subscription expires and I decide to renew a few months later, will I still get access to previous Premier-exclusive items I added in my account?
that i think it might, since it's tied to your account, but idk for sure
I used to use Studio along side Poser and had to stop when they started that obsolet and useless call home function in Poser
Question: Can anyone point to a single instance of any software going subscription-based even partially where the perpetual and free options weren't left abandoned to rot? That is if they weren't deliberately hobbled to push people to subscribe.
Which product ? You mean Dark Elf addon ? Where could you download it ?
To be frank, nearly everything about this software seems like it's been left to decay. I've been waiting for improved animation tools for what feels like 10-15 years, if not more. The whole industry has moved towards that, yet DAZ seems content with just playing dress-up. Don't get me wrong, I still have a soft spot for DAZ, but I haven't stopped searching for alternatives. Nowadays, I'm doing almost everything in Blender, which I wish wasn't the case, but I've been pushed in that direction.
The Dark Elf shape addon is product 105315 and can be installed from Smart Content tab. To locate it, you can either click on the magnifying glass (Premier exclusive filter, key::dsp_exclusive) or sort your products by highest product ID.
@crosswind I was interested in MeshGraber 4 (I wasn't so interested that I immediately upgraded to Premier!)
Could you tell me if you can "add" geometery to a model with the "Premier Hijacked Version" of MG4? Like add a pair of horns to a human head.
You can sort of do this in Hexagon (and Daz Bridge), by extending existing polys, but you can't add new polys (if you do, the Daz Bridge won't import it - Maybe you can do the same in Blender, and import it with MorphLoaderPro?)
If/when you've a little while, be great if you'd check on the functionality in Premier
I was actually thinking about subscribing to Premier, in the hopes that Vicky 9's Toon bundle may have been included in the free bundle offer. But that line that I've marked in bold brought me down to Earth. Daz are really killing any love that I had for the program.
The Vicky 9 Dark Elf Shape Add-On product appeared in the Smart Content > Available tab to install. The sku is 105315
it is free with the Premier bundle coupon. This bundle Vicky 9 Character Bundle | Daz 3D
I took the deal so I could get the discounts and finish my subscription faster. I'm not letting suscription content or plugins download or install. Though as I expected the content does not identify itself as premier only content, if I still used Connect and weren't paying attention, it'd be too easy to accidently download it. Someone may want to keep a thread like was done for encrypted content in the past, that way someone subscribing for discounts and not wanting the subscription locked content can avoid it.
I'd actually be more inclined to join premier if it had an option to opt out of the subscription based content and only get the discounts.
I totally forgot that I had already deleted Connect folder because Daz Connect had ever destroyed my custom metadata so I disabled it and never used it for years... Now I had to rebuid Connect folder, backup cms database, then check Update Metadata for a couple of seconds, then I got it ! Ha !
Many thanks for the reminder !
Oh, no, you cannot "add geometry" but just "deform the geometry", as you said: extend existing polygons by grab (select) them first then drag or push. Now MG 4.0 (Geometry Sculptor) provides a Draw Brush, you can also deform the mesh with Draw Brush... but as usual, you still can do these on Base Mesh, i.e. no SubD manipulation.
I'm also a Blender user, so yes, most of the time it's easy to sculpt complex shape in Blender and import the shape back to DS as a morph by using MLP.
Well, Mesh Grabber 4.0 is better than 3.0, you can check this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lr5uEgesPnc No big change. But there's still limitations and some bugs. You can check this post:

Somewhere in all the comments in various threads, I read something about having to log into DAZ in order to activate the features of Premier. There were also some suggestions for those of us who prefer not to be logged into DAZ while we're using DS. What is the best way to do this (or perhaps a link to the discussion)?
