I'm seeing the same thing, 20% extra not applied to Allessandro_AM and EmmaAndJordi.
-Reported the missing discounts - it appears to me to be the stores which have Still Mad items but not Newly Mad.
Am I the only one who's on the fence about the Warthog, sorry I mean Spartech Jumper in today's sale?
I love the Halo universe, and I have been taking the time to update some old M4 sci-fi armors to Iray. It's an awesome vehicle but I feel like it's SO close to the Warthog that I couldn't use it for anything other than Halo fan art.
Anyone have it already? Does it have modifications to make it less "warthoggy"?
Opinions?
I'm a huge Halo fan, and how close it is to the warthog is one reason I've got it in my cart to buy today. To me it's just enough different to be inspired by Halo, without coming accross as straight fan art. Even when bundled with the Spartantech armor (which is an awesome set if you don't have it yet).
I agree...doesn't seem like much of a PC discount if it ends up costing the same as a PA new release. The color thing is normal. Besides, I have lots of hair color packs that will work. That didn't really bug me. But, I thought having to buy extra bones was really a bit much. On top of that, PC+ hairs usually don't have many good renders to see what the extra styles are. As far as I can tell, all the addon bones do is let the back hair be drawn together to a point. Is there more to it?
Anyone else has problems with @Ati s Show all Features artist Bookmarklet?
It is not really working for me, was fine yesterday. and yes i started from the https page.
The format of the promo page keeps changing, so it needs constant updating. I usually make the necessary corrections in the morning (EU time), but to actually get the new version of the bookmarklet, you need to delete the one you have, and save it again. It's not the best solution, but March Madness ends soon anyway, so I'll keep updating it till the end of it.
Thanks @ati!
Beside that: This are the rebates I'm waiting for the complete March. I think I'm going a bit Mad today.... 19 items already in the Cart,,,
It's not extra bones, it's an additional hairpiece that can be added to the basic hair (that, apparently, is what a fall is).
So its a virtual weave. That must be a first for Daz.
But what does it do? I honestly can't tell from the promo art. Does it make it fuller?
It's this piece https://www.daz3d.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/d/a/daz3d_twilight-hair-fall-05.jpg
It's impossible to tell from the promos of Twilight Hair, but I'm guessing all the hair is pulled into the tie on top of the head, leaving the back smooth, like a ponytail. If so, the fall would fit under the tail. Do you know, @Richard_Haseltine, if that is the case?
So basically like real world clip-on hair extensions...
I feel like I have several items of hair, many of them V4, that has additions like pony tails that can be removed or added.
Ok, where the heck did this come from? It shows as new in the store (not marked "new", but showing up first if you sort by new items), and I've never seen it before, but its got an old SKU 21732. has this been in the store and I just missed it?
That's been in the store for quite some time. Not sure why it's showing up at first place when sorting by new arrivals, but it's definitely not new.
Thanks Richard!
Anyone know if it can be added to other hair as well or just Twilight?
Anyone know what the best deal is for https://www.daz3d.com/anneka-pro-bundle ? I don't really want Dante, but that seems to be the only way to get an extra 20% off. With some other items, I basically get Dante for free. I also buy one Newly Mad item to get the 20%. With the Bonus Buyer discount, that's another 10%.
With a coupon, Dante is down to $12.95. Anneka pro bundle is $47.34.
This doesn't seem right to me.
With a DAZ membership, Daz products are 30% off. So 134.95 * .70 = 94.47.
Current discount is 40% off featured artists catalogs. So 94.47 * .60 = 56.68 and this is indeed the listed price on the bundle page.
So... with the 10% bonus buyer discount, I should get 56.68 * .90 = 51.01
And with the extra 20% from Dante 7 and a newly mad item, that's 51.01 * .80 = 40.81. I removed the coupon and 51.01 is the price I'm getting. So this item is not getting the 20% discount.
Other items ARE getting an extra discount when I add Dante, but not Annika pro bundle. Weird.
edit: Discount should be even more than that. Featured artist catolog discount is 50% when you buy 2 or more qualifying items.
The extra 20% off with the purchase of Dante is only for Newly Mad and Featured Artist Catalog items.
Oh, it's a Daz Original not in any artist catalog. My bad.
edit: Wait, so why is there an extra 40% off on it then?
I thought it was an additional hairpiece initially (as you're saying it is) but the description literally says it is extra bones for the main hair item. I feel like product descriptions not explaining what is actually included in said product is not too uncommon an issue, which is a shame when they often lose sales by selling themselves short. There have been a number of times for me alone that I was going to pass on a product until I noticed someone posting about it on the forums and realising there was more to the product than they bothered to explain.
I still think charging an extra 75% to add another ponytail to one hairstyle is ridiculous (hopefully you can use it across other hairs too but that isn't what it's being sold as.)
Not sure, but my guess is it's because the bundle contains DO's made by some of the Featured Artists, and since their catalogs are 40% off these DO's are 40% also, which makes the bundle they belong to discounted also, maybe because of some technical limitations in the store as to what can be included/excluded from the discount. But since the bundle itself doesn't belong to any of these stores, it doesn't get the extra 20% off.
Makes sense. The extra 40% off is what threw me off. I'm used to just looking in my wishlist for what's at 40% or more on discount and assumed those were part of the catalog discount. I'll have to be more careful in the future. After trying out a few things, the pro bundles are separate. They have 30% + 40% + 10% BB and that's it. It is 62% off, so not bad. But it's still $51.
Now I'm not sure what to do. Wondering if there'll be a DO sale soon. Not sure it would be better than the current offering though.
It can be added to other hairs as it's a separate piece. It doesn't have any textures, and when using it if you don't have the original hair installed, it asks for that. It also relies on the transparency/opacity map from the original hair - I tried some iray hair shaders on it, but it looks crap without that transmap. It has a scale adjustment, and also left, right, flip, forward - back. And if you drill down ot the head of it, there are more (volume, short/long etc)
I didn't know what it was either. I have no idea what a 'fall' is - I thought it was just a play on the title on the original base hair. I'm still not sure whether it really should have been an "extra" product - perhaps if it was packaged with its own textures/transmap then ok. Although it CAN be used on its own, but not purchasable on its own, if you know what i mean. I'm hoping this won't become a standard thing for PC products - I already have my reservations about the whole "include one outfit texture/only 3 hair colours" with a product and then the rest as a separate product - so I'm not sure I'd be happy if we started seeing this sort of thing regularly.
This is a super quick test where I paired it with the Buzzed Hair for Genesis/G2/G3 to see how it would manage on its own.

Too similar for my tastes, but I already grabbed it. Don't thinmk I'll return it. I always have that fear that something I use from Daz will be a prop form a known series and somebody will not be able to differentiate. Once, I had in my cart some white zombie- but someone said it was a character from Game of Thrones and sent me image links. Yeah, and the name was similar too. So I would have had to flip him in some way. Still kinda wanted that figure though..This is a tough one...
I do say his Spartech version is WAYYYYYYY better. He took every detail from theirs and extended the feature.
Now that you compare, you wish the new flip did more. Where's the guns? Or something -- or a closed canopy....
It does have the closed/open back option so maybe you out something back there yourself.
Probably could have lengthened it made it a longer vehicle for the full flip.
-----------------
I also remember the commercial thread when it was being worked on and I googled the store and there was a similar-role vehicle. Can't find it now, but I do remember seeing it.

Ahhh this was it and it was on sale before

And it comes with the extra hitch
Oh...I didn't get that from the description. I'm not really seeing the difference. Thanks for letting me know. I had no idea what a "fall" was....learn something new everyday. ;)
Here's a perfect example to my complaint about the PC+ falls hair:
http://www.daz3d.com/dolly-changeable-hair-for-genesis-3-female-s
Same artist, more features, MUCH more useful product description, cheaper price.
It looks kinda cool as a separate hairpiece. But, I still don't see it adding much to the original Twilight hair. I've looked at the two products about 5 times, and I'm just not seeing much difference.
Don't get me wrong...I LOVE Goldtassel hair models. But, I think this product could use some renders that show off a bit more of why I'd want to buy it. The only thing I'm seeing in the current renders is that it makes the original hair slightly fuller.
It's not very expensive. I might still pick it up just to add to other hairstyles.
