Maybe they plan on selling content like models/clothes/etc and hope that due it being free, more content is made and sold on their side which means more profits?
Even though i do 3d-rendering and modeling i haven't actually got a single clue what DAZ Studio 4 does or is .. but i will try today and see if "free" is worthless, or neat
Maybe that was their idea, for people to try it out? They sell a lot of other stuff besides those 3 apps.
Ah.. so yeah, Daz Studio is essentially just a template generator, you pick shapes, the morph, you pick hair selections, morph them, you pick clothes.. character done.
To create clothes you gotta model them in their own system (hexagon, also free) but there doesn't seem to be any way to make your own morph systems.. or it escapes my quick look around.. anyway, not much you can do with Daz Studio unless you spend some time with hexagon.. might be worth it to make own characters though
