    What goodies did you find today? A couple of the new items look good, but I haven't found any really mad sales today.

    Evidently kind of a sleeper. :)

    I skipped all the new offers and went straight to combining the featured vendors for the same discount. Today was rather a simple process.

    OMG, there's glitter today. Really freaking awesome glitter. Must have the shiny objects! There are a couple of good deals in the related items area, plus flash sales. Loving Arki's new clothing too.

    Daz eventually got me. I grabbed that hair morphing gem, some more Stonemason and now the Kids bundle and then some from the Flash.

    Very expensive day. I was rapt to see what was coming in the store at midnight. Now I'm crossing my fingers that their server goes down and anything new is delayed a bit.

    Today was expensive.

    I like Ron's....Everything, but they are very expensive. I keep putting all his stuff in my cart and then taking it back out. It makes SUCH a DIFFERENCE in the total.

    I want his sci-fi  lens flares, his powder...blood, ripped fabric and glitter.put those all in the cart and sheesh!

    Ron's stuff goes on sale pretty regularly. I've been slowly collecting his entire store. I'm down to one page left! And yes- I use those brushes quite often. Top notch! So excited to play with the glitter, LOL

    The Stephanie 4 Starter Pack is part of the Riverthorne flash sale. A great price with a new release in the cart, if you're interested in generation 4 figures and clothes.

    I managed to pick up a couple of things on Ryverthorn's flash sale.  Not sure why she was stacking extra discounts but I picked up her little Faerie Dragon and the other cute critter on my wishlist, Mystikoi, at more than the 60% off with a new PC+ item I hadn't picked up yet.

    The extra discounts you are seeing is probably part of the Bonus Buyer which gives 30% off items with SKUs less than 16000

    That makes sense, now that you mention it. Everything older than Winter Majesty for Genesis 2 Female(s) in Riverthorne's catalog has a SKU under 16000...

    Ah, I wasn't thinking about how old the products were when I was putting them in my cart.  They are both under 16000 so that's where the extra discount came from then.  I was just happy to finally be able to get them.  They've been on the wishlist for a long time.

    Several of us had that problem day before yesterday. It turned out to be the links we were using were not secure. By changing the URL to https://www.daz3d.com/shop/ instead of http:// etc. we were able to add items to our carts.

    that's odd. I'm adding to cart straight from the store. From the product page. Why do I have to change the actual url?

    This one. Somewhere there's a thread (I couldn't find it) that names it as a real gem. So, in my usual stalker/lurker mode, I picked it up.

    https://www.daz3d.com/uht2-ultimate-color

    Says it does  A LOT. And I al always trying to get more mieage out of the wigs.

    Says you can combine hairpieces so....

    This is from my Product Library Page

    --------------------------

    UHT2: Ultimate Color

    Order: #104575220 – 17 Mar, 2017

    UHT2: Ultimate Color is a versatile, all inclusive hair texturing solution for Iray renders in Daz Studio. The quality of the hair in your scene can make or break a render, which is why it is so important to start with great textures and shaders. What is UHT2? Universal Hair Textures 2, the much anticipated follow-up to UHT Hair Shaders for Iray.

    UHT2: Ultimate Color is a set of custom hair textures and shader presets meant to replace those on Hair Objects that do not have their own Iray material presets. But, UHT2 is so much more than that. With the option to use the original textures that come with the Hair Object in your scene, you have the ability to add just the optimized settings for shine, translucency, and bump that UHT2 has to offer, then further refine those settings with the Utility presets.

    UHT2 also has the ability to convert the scalp textures to Iray and apply optimized settings to the scalp, as well as color match the scalp to a wide array of hair colors. But wait, there's more!

    UHT2 Color Mixer is a specialized script written to enable you, the artist, to mix your own custom hair colors with an almost endless variety of color variation, highlights, lowlights, balayage, or ombre effects. Color Mixer can be used over ANY hair object with vertically aligned UVs. That includes hair that uses its original textures. UHT2 Color Mixer does not change the shader settings. It only affects the Diffuse and Translucency channels, so mixing the colors over existing textures is quite effective.

    Additionally, with UHT2 you have the option to tile the hair textures as many as ten times across the hair model, allowing you to get realistic hair widths no matter the size of the strands on the UV map. Use translucency presets to allow more or less light to pass between the layers of hair, which adds to the richness of the hair model in your renders. Use brightness presets to slightly darken or brighten the hair where needed without actually changing the color or tone of the textures. This is great for adding just a bit of light in darker scenes, or toning down blown out colors from bright lights.

    There is no guarantee that UHT2 will work on literally any hair available, but it does work wonders on the vast majority of transmapped hair in your runtime, no matter the vendor, marketplace, figure or generation. Some hair was made with UVs that run horizontally rather than vertically, or the UVs have not been laid out in strips, or maybe there are no UVs at all (such as with some fibermesh hair). These hair objects will not benefit from UHT2 quite as well as hair objects modeled with vertical strips for UVs, but in many cases they can still be improved with the UHT2 settings.

    A complete User's Guide in PDF format is supplied in the download, and a series of videos have been made to demonstrate some of the steps and techniques outlined in the guide. At the end of each section, if a video has been made, there will be a link to the video that corresponds to that section. Additionally, a few other videos have been made to demonstrate some layering techniques not explicitly described in this Guide, such as using Color Mixer to create an Ombre Effect to the hair in your scene. All of the User's Guide videos and the additional videos have been collected in a Playlist on YouTube for easier viewing. UHT2 How-To Videos 

    Be careful, though... the Color Mixer can be quite addictive! Never settle for "almost the right color" again. With UHT2: Ultimate Color, the possibilities are endless.

    Click the "SHOP" menu in the menubar, and navigate to the product from there. That should take you to the correct (https) page.

    They're in the process of converting the whole store to HTTPS so until they're finished some things may not work normally. If you log in via HTTPS things should work allright though, I think.

    I got DarioFish's Fantasy Shapes Bundle (https://www.daz3d.com/hfs-fantasy-shapes-for-genesis-3-bundle) yesterday during the Flash sale. It was 60% off with the new freebie. I've been coveting this ever since it came out.

     

  • Charlie JudgeCharlie Judge Posts: 13,628

    I'm not much interested in a lot of SciFi stuff; so, it may be a slow shopping weekend for me. I need to save some money anyway.

    I'm always of the opinion that I prefer my cash in my account not Daz's. Then there's the fact I have to allow google to gather my data.

    Coveting: me too. But I don't own it because I forgot it was a Flash Sale and remembered it as a FastGrab instead so decided to wait until Daz midnight to see the weekend promo....

    Bitter consolation that Cake One's Fantasy Skins is now in my cart instead.

    Thought I'd NEVER get it.  The bundle was starting to become a permenant resident on my Wishlist.  When I finally added it to my cart for a quick checkout I felt a little bit of that March Madness Spirit!  Or maybe it was the lingering effects of Gonzaga crushing South Dakota St the other night. . . 

  • What's the bonus buyer freebie today? I am no longer a bonus buyer and I want to know if I should become one laugh

    It's still this one: https://www.daz3d.com/containment-corridor

  • Thanks for the reply! smiley I got that one yesterday. It's weird that there's no info about what  the current freebie is  when you aren't a bunus buyer. If it's somthing I want then it would tempt me to become a bonus buyer.

    That is why the Current Bonus Buyer Freebie thread was started. If you follow it you should know when the freebie changes

    I took a chance on Polish's weaponry, because I've been burned by some past products that were a mix of 3DL and Iray surfaces... but happy to say the weapons are pure Iray. Woo!

    (The combination of really detailed modern weaponry with a bunch of optional add on bits in Iray, plus good muzzle flashes I can borrow for lots of other weapons... woo!)
