@Littlepleasures - "Daz3D has lately been much more relaxed in regard to “spicier” content and promo renders."
Yes I've noticed that. Angel_Wings spat the dummy over the Daz shoulder thing, but I suspect she had other simmering issues with how Daz treats its content suppliers. Maybe she'll come back but that's unlikely after leaving with so much acrimony.
As for the future of Daz3D, if we believe the hype from March this year...
"James Thornton – Chairman and CEO of Tafi and Daz 3D – was named 2022 Utah CEO of the Year by Utah Business Magazine... Thornton early on transformed Daz 3D into a stable, profitable and growing business.... his exceptional leadership, vision in revolutionizing 3D technology, and trailblazing initiatives with NFTs and web3.... Tafi and Daz 3D, are experiencing surging growth and success in both established and new markets.... the company is in the process of doubling the size of its team.......".. oh fuck off.
We all remember Noah Katz and Artesian and Sam Bankman-Fried and FTX. The margin between exceptional profitability, wiz-kid genius, and straight-out fucked-up bankruptcy is exceedingly, nay embarrassingly very slim indeed. Daz3D (or Rendo) could cark it tomorrow and I wouldn't be surprised at all.
