Once again I’m an idiot and buy too soon. From now on, I will wait. Daz is teaching procrastination...

I think I just learned my lesson this time...

Oh my! How on earth did you get the Pro bundles down so low?

I bought Sanjay and never saw anything at all about other Pro bundle reduction, as I would have jumped to get them!

There was a flash sale on Pro bundles yesterday, which could be combined with the Sanjay offer (probably with a purple banner too)

Yes - and I for one am so glad that I didn't put Sanjay into the cart on day 1. I ummed and aahed for a couple of days (not much impressed by the free items within my $70 allowance and with too little budget to get anything more) when along came that Pro Bundle flash and with Sanjay two of them just leapt into my cart! So now I have approx. zero budget for the rest of the month but three new Pro Bundles (and a few add-ons) to play with.

There should be some sort of calendar to help us not shoot ourselves in the foot with buying in early.

Interesting - the sale page says Sanjay 8 HD will be unavailable after the promotion. Does that mean the HD set will be pulled from the store after the promotion, and now is the only time to get it? Or is this a misprint?

that it is being offered free if you buy the starter or pro bundle after that you have to pay

After 2 week s the HD add-on will no longer be int he store. It will be disabled. So it will only be available for a limited time.

No personal disrespect intended, but that has to be the most asinine thing I've ever heard. To what end does this serve? (other than keeping people who can't/don't/aren't around currently) from buying it? If the new policy is to make them "collectors items" then I'm going to stop buying them right now. ALLLLLL of them. I don't play that, not with non-physical stuff. It's not like the value of the SD Sanjay is going to go up if one happens to have the HD morphs - c'mon. I think you people need to rethink this. It's already woefully unpopular. With all the other troubles you guys have been having lately (botched sales, website problems, borked installs, missing items from installs, etc.) I don't think you NEED anymore hits to your reputation.

WHY IS IT that you guys have to mess with nearly every single male release in some way (that you don't usually do with the females), and then turn around and say "Male stuff doesn't sell"? I just don't get it. Well, ,maybe they don't sell as well because you sabotage them right out of the gate....

*scratches head*

I would not buy this bundle is it was three dollars, simply because I don't respond well to dangling carrots and never will support them.

I understand your position but disagree with your metaphor. Disappearing HD Addon is a stick, not a carrot.

I beg to differ

ArtAngel: okay, sorry, I get where you're coming from now.

Unrelated: I wasn't wild about Devansh initially, but after transferring him to G3M and playing a bit, I like him a lot better. Here he is with a pose from the Bollywood set in the pro bundle, and Aave Nainen's DForce East Meets West outfit and DForce Sanjay Hair. Dforce simulation, simulating outfit and hair took about 30-40 minutes (i7 with 16G RAM and GTX 745), and led to the results seen here. Basically, Sanjay Hair seems to be meant to save you the trouble of messing with movement morphs when you tilt or twist the character's head a bit, but doesn't seem to be meant for radical poses like this one. Unless I did something to mess it up in the course of back-converting, which is always possible.

Elgyfu · May 2019

That is very cool, Odaa :)

I haven't tried playing with the hair yet, but I had assumed it was meant to act something like real hair so you could have the head at different angles - including upside down. Otherwise one might as well have the usual movement morphs and save a lot of time and computer resources.

there were a few times when not buying early did cost some and they missed out on a new release pro deal can't remember the character/s but it was a pretty steep discount and think there was something new free maybe the hd then it all jumped in price after a day or two and/or something wasn't included, may have been during one of the big annual sales

tsarist · May 2019

BECAUSE I DEMANDED IT Yeah, I have been lobbying Daz to put out this kind of character for years. So, thanks.

UNDERWHELMED Underwhelmed by the "deal" though. Daz seems to not understand that offering better deals moves more units. If I hadn't been lobbying so hard & long, I would have passed it up.

Go back to offering 2 or 3 bundles or equivalent because that made me buy characters I never would have touched.

I'm looking forward to a female counterpart to Sanjay 8.

Just hoping you go back to the good deals of days gone by.

Finally was able to get Sanjay, very glad I was able too, I like him a lot! This was using Arji on the right.

Mmmm, like that one!

EJWorks · May 2019

This didn't render as nice as I was hoping it would, and it took 2 hours.

Playing with Sanjay and a mix of items I hadn't used much yet.

RAMWolff · May 2019

Very nice EJWorks!

Thank you very much! I was going to sort of recreate all of the promo images for Jepe's product https://www.daz3d.com/jepes-cinematic2-poses-and-props-for-michael-8 only using Sanjay and his add-on characters. But the quality of the renders are not turning out right and it takes a full 2 hours. I love the poses for this product, but I have too many other projects on my to-do list to work on this series of pictures right now. Here's one I did Saturday night of Arji.
