Free 3D Animation DAZ|Studio 1.0 Released
Thyme3333 writes "DAZ Productions, Inc. has officially released DAZ|Studio 1.0, a free 3D figure posing and animation software package. DAZ has a made a commitment to keep the DAZ|Studio core application free to the public for as long as possible by relying on the revenues generated by the purchase of content available in the DAZ online store. To obtain a free copy of DAZ|Studio, users must register for a free account on the DAZ website and agree to participate in the company's aptly-named "Tell-Ware" program, which asks that each DAZ|Studio user share information about DAZ|Studio and/or the DAZ website with at least two friends." Good to see that more companies are trying to keep their software free, but perhaps the Slashdot crowd could offer advice on a better business model than spam and merchandising?
Does posting a link to their website on Slashdot count as 1 or more of the friends that Thyme3333 was suppose to send their way?

P.S.: I seriously hope this is not a precursory indication that we will have to suffer a plentora of innerword-pipes. BIZ|AssHoles
How many people are holding a gun to your head demanding you send emails to TWO WHOLE PEOPLE you know?
Plus, that can only happen up to 33 times before everyone telling two new people about it reaches the entire world population... and then who do the people at the bottom of the pyramid tell? These chain letters always shaft the last ones in!

If it's anything like FEMA, they'll show up 5 days later with a fire extinguisher long after your server has turned into a smoldering heap from the Category 5 slashdotting.

Is that code for "virtual-girl porn site" ?
I think ANY 3d-modeler app can be used for more productive tasks than rendering breasts that are two times too big.
It's like vi:
Once you learnt how to use it, you're convinced that it's better than anything else. Or you give up two years before you reach that point.
Blender is free as in speech, but the language is ancient suomi.
All but one of the renders on the company's online gallery page features gratuitous cleavage
Hey, it's really hard to render in personality and sense of humour. Spheres are easy.
