You can only contact them through DAZ by submitting a support ticket, unless they are active on the forums. You could try contacting them through site mail at Renderosity. I believe they have a store there.Just warning, though, most PAs don't do commissions, and if they do, it's really expensive.
thanks, how much would creating hair cost do you think?
It depends on if it is an exclusive thing for you or if it could be sold on Daz, as well. But, generally, commissions are a lot.
It wouldn't be sold on Daz's marketplace.
Ballpark?
Imagine number of hours needed, and then multiply with an hourly rate.
Well, I am looking to have heair created to match the likeness of a real person. Any takers?
post a photo of the hair you would like and let the forumites help you find one that matches closest or add suggestions for mixing.
there are thousands of hair props on the shop, one will come close
From what I've seen, commisions tend to range from hundreds to thousands of dollars depending how much work must be done. The solution of using a pre-existing hair and matching/modifying it either as a model or post work is oh so much more cost efficient.
I would budget thousands. Custom takes away from regular activities and must be compensated.
Folks here are good aat that and some definitely resent being addressed by the derogatory term forumites unless it's used ironically so we can all laugh at the cute Daz forum in-joke. That was not ironic. -1000000 points.
Why is forumites a derogatory term? The dictionary lists it as a person who posts comments in a particular internet forum, typically on a regular basis. Is there a different meaning for it? I don't think it was meant in a negative way at all.
Because we are customers here, not just folks hanging out on a forum; and the way a Daz rep originally used it was derogatory. And the word itself is a structurally diminutive term. I am expressly not a forumite, no. And I wouldn't call anyone here a forumite, either because the term is gross and diminutive. Call it a peeve. That's all I can say. I will say no more about it.
Torquinox Don't complain too much, I find that term really funny, LOL.
I am not offended by that.
Think as nothing has happened, I believe it was not intentional to offend anyone, just take it easy.
Only for you? They're right, you're probably talking thousands, because that's what an established PA can make on day 1 in the marketplace, let alone all the lifetime residuals in the store.
It's not something that a Daz rep originally came up with, unless it's from way before your account joined the forum - Wikipedia has citations from 2005: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/forumite
While Wikitionary lists the -ite suffix as occasionally derogatory when referring to a follower of a movement, it does not list it as used as a diminutive in English: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/-ite ;
The only words I can think of that end in -ite that even resemble diminutives are "meteorite" (in that it is smaller than the meteor that formed it, but in this case it is etymologically related to mineralogy, such as Bauxite or Granite) or "sprite" (a small fairy, but this is etymologically from the same root as "spirit").

It's possible that the term may have been used in a derogatory fashion at times, but unless a given person is obviously using it in that fashion, it does not seem worth getting this wound up over the way one person may once have used it.
I apologise if you, or anybody else, felt offended by the term, it was intended to describe the community of helpfull users we luckily have here in a friendly manner and not in any way derogative.
English is not my first language and as that sometimes the fine nuances might escape me.
We could come up with a new term maybe... we're all hanging out in the commons, so how about... commoners?
I'M KIDDING (just trying to lighten the mood)
(but seriously, not even Urban Dictionary lists it as derogatory)
wait ... you werent joking about being offended lol
Diminutives are used in English to express fondness. While they can also be used in an exclusionary or derogatory mannaer - particularly when there is a imbalance in power or social standing between a speaker and a receiver, whether real, imagined or historic - when used between peers, they're largely a way to foster a sense of belonging, inclusion and community.
Ah, fondness. Like the word Sodomites...
maybe we can all return to the topic of the original poster?
Calm down, this is not the time to recriminate someone for a simple word.
The forum only serves for the purpose to post questions and get answers.
@ ihatzi attach a picture of the hair you want to use as you have been told and someone here will identify it, suggesting a closer match.
Remeber, n Daz store there is plenty to choose from, so please, do your part, your query maybe solved promptly.
@ Linwelly Don't worry, what you said has not been intentional, now is time to concentrate on the issue this user has, so it would be wise to have a reply asap and get this sorted out.
Good luck, Cheers!
Yeah it's probably a good idea to post a photo of the type of hairstyle you are looking for. Finding something close and creating morphs for it would be much more affordable than paying for a one-off commission.
Words have power - and there are many words that are considered offensive, times and language change.
Also not the place to accuse others.
It's not. I'm not sure why they think it is, I've used it and others have used it hundereds of times in the many online forums I've been a part of since the late 90's to describe our communities. It's the exact opposite of a derogatory term, but maybe english isn't their first language and they don't understand the term very well, it happens to us all eventually haha.
So only some are allowed to express their opinion without being told to basically being told to be silent - that is bias, just because some don't agree its no reason to silence. An open discussion on the whys and why nots surely is the better way to proceed.
