    Dang, that was a miss....My $57 cartload jumped to $243...just missed Daz Midnight.

    Anyone know if there is a good way to save a cart, so you can just open it up again when the Catchup Sale happens again?

    I have the option to "Export Cart as CSV" in the bottom right under my cart. That might be from the Daz-Deals plug-in, I'm not sure. 

    You can always take a screenshot as well. :)

    Thanks Cris. I'm done shopping. BTW, is there really only supposed to be that few Mega Fastgrabs? I already checked out, but now I'm thinking "What if they add more?"

    If they do a Catchup Sale again, it may only be for the 18th-end of month. The things you had from the 1st-17th may not go back on sale, but IIRC there's a "everything" Catchup sale at the very end. Anyone remember from last year?

    I caved and got a few things - two new (very rare for me) and two Megafastgrab.  Still, happy with all of them :)

    The AntFarm's new off-world character for G3F, MRL mutations: Aliens, Angels and Others, for the new ones, and a dynamic martial arts Gi, and i13's archery pose set for the older ones.

    MLR Mutations seems great, it looks less polyvalent than the old one (https://www.daz3d.com/mrl-mutations), but it's only G3...

    If you tried the new one already, can you just put the whole skin rather than a few scars ? Can you choose to show / hide other parts than the wounds ?

     

    I don't own it.  But, if MRL included the entire body shader (probably a shader that is applied to a geoshell), you should be able to switch on and off which parts of the shell are visible.  Also, if you are comfortable at all with editing cutout opacity maps, you can create your own exposed portions by applying your edited map.  This is really pretty easy to do.   

    Great to know ! And I have no idea how to do that, any tutoral anywhere ?

    As it isn't included in this version, I'd like to know if there any way to apply an object shader (like metal for cars for instance) to a character ?

    Yes you can apply the material to the whole body - there's a pdf included with the readme to explain how to do stuff (though for the whole body it's as simple as applying the mat to the figure.

    As for applying a shader to a figure - just select the surfaces in the surfaces tab (must have figure selected too) then apply the shader.  Whether it'll work well might depend on the shader - if there are body specific mats like these, there might be no point in applying it to something else.

    Thanks. And if, on the contrary, they are object shaders ?

    Sorry for the delay - 'object shaders' - if it's a shader, you can apply it to anything. If it's a material preset, it'll only work on what its intended for.

    So for example, these Iray shader packs:

    https://www.daz3d.com/elaborate-metals-iray-shaders

    https://www.daz3d.com/useful-fabric-iray-shaders

    can be applied to any surface - want a Michael 7 made of cotton or steel?  You can do that.

    Whereas those MRL mutations are designed to work with G3F (and G8F for the newest pack).  They'll apply to G3M but leave a big wide line at the back and at some of the seems.

    The MRL mutations do work pretty well on G2 faces, though...

    ...apparently "Daz Midnight for the Ketchup sale was based on the East Coast timezone rather than the Mountain Time as it nromally ism as all the discounts disappeared at 21:00 here on the west coast which would be 00:00 on the east coast.

    I always feel like the level of activity in this thread is a good indication of the excitement about the current sales taking place on DAZ.

    So, how would you rate it recently ? smiley

  • boisselazonboisselazon Posts: 458

    my rate is proportional to my cart cheeky which is actually meeehhh. I enjoy it far less than last year.

    BTW, I am thinking about J8: I have no previous josie, the offer J8pro -> J7pro+j6pro+j5pro FREE is tempting, even if i dont need J8 pro. That'd make many add on for free

  • Orpheus13Orpheus13 Posts: 274

    Yeah, if you care about the previous Gens. Being a newcomer I really don't. I got the previous Michaels with my M8, but I've toyed enough with Daz to see how many compatibility problems there can be between G3 and G8 material (not to mention G2 or Genesis), and I also find not only the main figures to be on the whole much better than what came before, but also most of the stuff that was made for them - I suppose the standards are getting higher from year to year.

    And this being said, I don't see the point in getting a teen figure when you can use some pretty good Morphs to "teen" anyone, except for the textures maybe, so... I'll pass on that one.

    What I DO need and want, though, are G8M Clothes !! When you want, Daz...

    how come you get 72%? I only have 65 surprise

  • sueyasueya Posts: 842

    I am surprised that you can't get Teen Josie 6 starter bundle free when you buy Teen Josie 8 Starter Bundle. I can't afford to buy Pro Bundle at the moment.

    If you had already purchased 9 or more Gen 7 pro packs then Ryan pro was 90% off (that was on top of the 30% new and 30% DO discounts), so they were basically giving him away to their major buyers.

    I'm only getting 40%. 50% with a new release in the cart.

    boisselazon said:

    50% for having two debut items in the cart, +30% DO, +20% for owning her old bundles.

    Ah, yeah, some memories are coming back about it... laugh Okay, then this is not the best new pro-deal, after all.

    Yes, I remember that:)

    Trick question: how many of the people who got that deal rendered him more than once and only bought him because of the deal?

     

    Who was it that said that buying content and rendering content are two separate hobbies?

  • jakibluejakiblue Posts: 7,281

    although probably the best after Ryan maybe? I don't remember this much discount on another pro....but then, I didn't get V8 or O8 pro bundles so maybe there was a better discount there if you owned previous ones?

    TRUE DAT ! And as a game figurine collector I have to agree (and admit that I'm right where I shouldn't...).

  • jakibluejakiblue Posts: 7,281

    Nah, not lousy. Just have no call to ever render a teenage boy.
