Would you (or anyone else reading this) know how to find stats to calculate the difference in speed etc: between a large render for two different machines, and would slightly different versions of DAZ Studio affect the results?
Thanks in advance.
Edit: Also anyone know if Faveral's Perouges Medieval Village https://www.daz3d.com/perouges-medieval-village can be unassembled - used in pieces?
I think Aeon Soul is doing the same thing. I was going to buy some, following the rabbit trail from Tau Ceta, but only 40%, nothing else.
It only loads as a single set but there are five buildings and a tree that can be seperated.
Reported these three.
Thank you, Richard.
Thanks! :)
Dogz is the same way. They were on the featured artist group for a bit last night, but the Loyalty and New bonuses weren't applying. This morning, they're still 40% off, but no longer on the Featured Artists, and the loyalty and new still aren't applying.
Thanks for mentioning this. Just did a bit of reading and will be very handy. :)
Maria is having the same problem.
I wasn't even counting my PC+ items. But yeah, today nothing else seems to be at 71%.
Thank you so much. I have had it in and out of the cart almost every month because someone mentioned the building could not be used in another scene, and I like buying what can be painted (templates) or kit bashed, but if it goes into the loyalty batch I'll finally buy it.
I think it's in there now.
Thanks again. I am downloading the bundles and poses I bought yesterday and in my rush forget to add a new item to the cart, so I would have missed that one. and thanks for going through the trouble of loading the screenshot. It made it a no brainer. After Christmas I won't be watching as closely but you have a sale notification system or something I could join right?
That's right. You can find more info on it in this thread: https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/106296/announcing-daz-deals-browser-add-on/p1
Just to understand how the Genesis Add-ons category should work, cause some people seem to have issues here.
At the moment not discounted and 'pure' DO discounted items seem to work for me with -60 % (for owning a Gen 8 character) and -30 % for loyalty reward.
Everthing already featured PA discounted (and also these + DO discounted) is only loyalty discounted, except PC+ which is -60% discounted.
So e.g.
https://www.daz3d.com/timeless-outfit-for-victoria-7 and https://www.daz3d.com/i13-elation-poses-for-victoria-6 (both in this category sale) have nearly the same price in cart for me.
That...plus I own a Genesis 8 character... ;) and $13.97 is the regular 30% off price for PC+, have you checked the price in your cart?
Exactly, I feel the same way! I never know if the price I'm getting is a glitch in my favor or against me, which makes the decision all the more difficult.
Glitches...friends or your worst enemies....? :)
Thank you very much ...same to you :)
[Huh]? Why is Streets of Tuscany $7.22 for you and $15.03 for me?!! I am Plat Club, have 'new release' in cart, and 30% loyalty reward. What other discounts are there to be applied? I hate it when I feel I cannot trust the vendor.
Edited for profanity
Streets of Tuscany are $15.03 for me too. I've spent a lot at DAZ in the last 2 years but compared to the best collectors of DAZ content, not a lot at all but significantly more than the average DAZ customer.
The really irritating thing is that in a lot of cases the "loyalty" discount is applying but one of the others, usually the Generations 60% discount, isn't, so I'm apparently actually being penalized for having been a good customer. If only the generations and my 30% loyalty discount were applied to an item, those two discounts alone should be a cumulitive 72%.,,, and that ironically works fine if the artist in question isn't being featured. However, when an item appears in both a featured artist category and Generations, where the cumulitive discount should 83/86% off, the discount showing is instead only 65%, so the Generations discount isn't applying at all.
I think you're both right. Selling soft goods is like any other intangible like music, novels, designs...etc. If I know that there is a probability that MOST people will want my product at a certain price, I'm going to go slightly higher in order to capture as many of the "bonus dollars" I can before allowing the product to settle into what I think the majority price point will be. After sales start to lag, meaning that most early adopters and fans of my work have bought, I'll lower the price to capture the "on the cuff" buyer. Then, if I want to boost income for a period, I'll drop the price to catch as many "bargain hunters" as possible. It has absolutely nothing to do with what I think my time is worth, other than as a starting point to what I would like to get out of my efforts. The end user has no idea about how many hours it takes to make X product, nor do they really care. What they want is the best price on the nicest product. So, if I can recoup my own time and base profit in the first go around of my product, ANY pricing thereafter will result in profit. That doesn't mean that I need to give it away. I just need to make the price low enough so that it is attractive to most buyers. If I have a really hot product like an iPhone that people seem to be willing to remortgage the house to buy, of course I'm not dropping my price...LOL But, if my older product is just taking up virtual shelf space, why not drop it to pennies and pick up a few extra sales here and there? My other consideration of course, is competition. In the case of Daz items, there are thousands of good figures and props and poses and environments. I still have about a thousand in my wishlist. So even if I've spent 3 years making the most fabulous space suit ever for G8F, I have to remember that it needs to be priced within the range of what other space suits are currently selling. There are a finite number of Daz customers and each of them have a finite amount of funds. So, I have to assume that price will play a part in deciding which space suit to buy. Even if everyone agrees that mine is the most fabulous ever, not everyone will buy it if there are many almost as good for less.
The Glitch factor is a consideration, not because I won't make some profit during a mad rush caused by the Glitch. Rather, it affects the timing on my sales strategy. If I'm still in phase one and hoping to pick up the higher intro price sales, a Glitch can severely impact my profits and time to recoup my work. In later "bargain" sales phases, it won't be as much of a problem and could in some ways help draw attention to an otherwise flagging product.
Much has been said about the Previous Generations 60% discount not working all the time. It appears to work on the regularly priced items and DO's, but not on any item in a Featured Artist Catalog. They get 50% instead of 40% (with a new item), as in the Featured Artist promo, but they are included in the 60%-off promo. (Loyalty discounts apply everywhere expected, at least for me). Looks like the higher price is trumping the lower, should be the other way around.
I guess they're frightened to touch anything, it's a fragile balance, when the fluctuation of prices hits its natural resonance it might bust everything...
I'm not sure what will happen then, some PA items would go down to $ 2-3 (esp. characters) with these discounts, maybe they'll just sort out the discounted PA items :)
