     a word from DAZ.

    A what from whom?

    Good point - my excuse is that I hadn't had my first morning coffee yet, makes me say weird things

    Got to have my first cup for motivation to have my second cup and then I can start to function

    Something like that, with feeding the cats slotted in somewhere before 'achieve daily functioning level'

    Heard that three cats and a dog

    That'll do it *g*

    Ce la vie. There is always another sale. We should respect the PA's decision.

    IMAO useful tools should be integrated into the program and that's DAZ's responsibility to do it (to make it or buy it).  If not, we have bridges, engines, (Hexagon).... 

    It's a bit "funny" in my eyes that there is no default tool in DAZ to select a part of the mesh and move it, rotate it. Probably Hexagon was that tool but it would need a bit more care so it doesn't crash so often. (The last update help with that, but a bit more tweaking would make it much better. )

    There's been one for years: dFormers. Mesh grabber simply makes it way easier.

    I have a lorry load of "productivity tools" for Daz that sounded useful that I either never used or couldn't figure out how to use. 

    Glad to know I'm not the only one who faces that. With me, it's so constant my middle name should be DUH.  I have a lot of utility-type products that I haven't even had the courage to try out yet. I figure if I wait long enough, there will be oodles of forum posts showing up on the product page thanks to the deals plug-in, and I can just surf and see what got explained.  devil

    There's another productivity tool on offer today that makes everything else I've seen look like child's play.  Commercial thread suggests "don't do anything stupid", so that leaves me out.

    I am waiting for official notice that it is legit as I don't want to take advantage of the PA and his hard work.

    There's been one for years: dFormers. Mesh grabber simply makes it way easier.

    dFormers are (monstrosity(?)) not the industry-standard way in my eyes. Try to make a straight 1-meter long hard edge with it XP, hard extrude, basic editor functions.

    dformers are nice if you want to make bumps etc... for an organic type of sculpting might be good, but I wouldn't call them a default tool, It's more like a pre-brush tool as it's missing the brush settings.

    Yes with practices and scaling, multiple dformer, you could get interesting results, but that's far from any editor/default toolkit. 

    And as Hexa got a send in and send back command with an automated morph save function it's more like a default tool, but still not in DS and if you are sending back and for many things, you will get crashes.

    But that's just how I see it.

     

    ps:

    New flash sale: https://www.daz3d.com/related-items

    the new item part of it works too with any new items.

    Thank you! I owned the first two products, so grabbing the bundle for the one additional product.

    Mesh Grabber banner only for owners of one of the products in the bundle? I don't own any and I got no banner.

    For the 4-hour Flash Sale, I tried adding a new item and Fit Control Genesis 8 Bundle to the cart but I don't see 70% discount on Fit Control... $44.95 becomes $16.18  .. that is a 64% discount.. it should instead be $13.485 at a 70% discount.

    I  too have the banner again. But I spent the money, and have a few more items in the cart. And now a flash sale with a couple of wishlist items over 60% off. What to do. Problem for me, it is I get both Rotator and Morph Editor for less than $20 USD. On the other hand, a 70% flash sale (should they ever show up there) would be better. And, I save up to 90% from the Plat for a day items I have.  Sorry ManFriday, yesterday I had it in my cart and was waiting for whatever it is I wait for rather than buy right away. Today, nope. What I wait for is buyers remorse. If I get it before checking out I dump the item.

    Speaking of Plat for a Day, did you notice the Step Van and Step Van Extension are each $1.99 and the bundle is $1.99. Just the way it works, but I wonder if anybody buys just one (except for the extension to add to an already owned Van).

    It's 60% off as base if you are PC+ member; only 40% left from the price; so 10% the 40% is 4% so the total off is 64%.

    If you make a calculation you will get the item at: (1-60%)*(1-10%)=36% which is 64% discount (DAZ math)

    I am a PC+ member and as it is written it should be 60% off the price which I see plus another 10% off when I add any new item. But It becomes 64% off instead of 70% off

    Sorry but what should 90% x 40% be ?

    60% off -> $44.95 x 0.40 = $17.98

    70% off -> $44.95 x 0.30 = $13.485

    dForms can have weight maps.

    70% off -> $44.95 x 0.30 = $13.485

     

    Look at this way:

    $100 item at 60% off is $40.

    Then you get an additional 10% off that amount. 10% of $40 is $4, so the final cost is $36, which means you got an overall discount of 64%.

    Your math is wrong.

    $44.95 .. what is 10% of $44.95 ? That is $4.495  Then multiply that amount by 3 to get 30% (70% off) and by 4 to get 40% (60% off).

    Daz discounts apply in sequence:

    60% off: $44.95 x 0.40 = $17.98

    10% off: $17.98 x 0.90 = $16.18

    It's odd, but it's the way their discounts work.

    But is that banner only for those that already had one of the products in the bundle ? Or you bought the bundle not having any of the products?
