    You can use the geometry tool as SnowSultan mentioned. I'll add that there are many lesser known ways to speed selection up that you may not be aware of. Two that I use all the time are clicking on a single polygon and then Geometry Selection -> Select Connected (CTRL *) and selecting by surface. Explore the entire menu of the Geometry Editor!

    So, for example, let's say you were trying to separate a tree with leaves from the rest of a larger scene that was all one object. You could start by selecting the leaves by surface using the surfaces list inside the geometry editor (assuming only your target tree had that particular surface for leaves). Then, for the sake of illustrating another method, you could add a single polygon selection from the trunk (making sure the leaves you already selected stay selected). Then Geometry Selection -> Select Connected to add the entire trunk to the selection. Rinse and repeat as necessary.

    When you've got everything you want selected, use Geometry Selection -> Invert Selection, and then Geometry Visibility -> Hide Selected Polygon(s). Finally, use Geometry Editing -> Delete Hidden Polygon(s) and what you're left with is your tree and nothing else! Save your new asset.

    Hope this helps.

    how long are artist's stores on sale for this go around? Are they on sale as long as their products are still "mad"? There are a couple of items I'd like, but I thought I'd wait to see what the mind blower was tomorrow before making another purchase (I like the one for today, but it's not something that I have any need for)

    Yes. So figure three days, unless they have another new release before the three days is up.

    thanks!

    Which makes them pretty useless for my purposes. Welp, time for returns!

     

     

    And this is the real upside of THIS march madness - the ability to return items! :o)

  • RenomistaRenomista Posts: 921

    Wow. I REALLY need to double check items before buying them. Bought a few scenes and didn't realize all the items in the scene were baked together (and darn if I can figure out how to break them out).

    (I'm lucky that that's all I've muffed so far. Heh)

     

    Which Sets are that?

  • RenomistaRenomista Posts: 921

    They are late today... Midnight MDT is through and still no new stuff.... ;-)

  • RenomistaRenomista Posts: 921

    Now ist up and it is a Winner!

     

    Daily Mindblower is Zevs long awaited Growing Up Skin Ressource!

    Now let me hasten to be clear... they are very nice, detailed scenes, and I can easily imagine them worth full price, let alone the sale price.

    But I just don't like 'everything baked together' scenes.

    (I tried isolating some items, and it ended up taking a huge amount of work and then I realized I had missed some pieces, and... ugh)

    And now I'm spending some of my April budget. nngh

    I'm spending my February budget... For 2017.

  • chris-2599934chris-2599934 Posts: 1,913

    70% off G2 characters today (when you buy a MM release). That's a proper Daz sale discount, and some of the featured items are already in MM - so they get a 85% discount overall!

    More of these please Daz. Could we have a 70% off hair sale please? Pretty please?

  • bytescapesbytescapes Posts: 1,909

    Huh, looks like DAZ just corrected a pricing mistake.

    A bunch of items from the Genesis 2 70% off sale that were sitting in my cart suddenly leapt from "ridiculously good price" to "sort of OK price".

    At the lower prices, they were definite buys. At the new improved prices ... well, DAZ may just have saved me some money.

    If you have items in your cart currently, check the totals before you check out, so that you don't have a nasty surprise.

  • TesseractSpaceTesseractSpace Posts: 1,582

    yeah, guess they noticed people were stacking discounts and took out everything that was discounted as related to MM from the stuff eligible for the 70%. 

  • UthgardUthgard Posts: 880

    Yeah, my cart total just about doubled. Funnily enough, 2 minutes after the fact, I made it drop substantially--nothing like frustration to curb my impulse buying.

  • TesseractSpaceTesseractSpace Posts: 1,582

    Same here. Making a mistake including those items I get, but 'fixing' the mistake in a way that negatively impacts buyers is probably gonna cost them more than leaving it for a day would have.

    Thanks for the heads up. That will indeed change things... Not that those items are not worth a few dollars more, but the total has increased too much for my budget.

    Well as I posted in the other thread, I now won't be buying what I had planned.

    Too bad DAZ didn't see fit to honor their initial offering.

    I created a Video Review of todays Daily Mindblower

    Scored big yesterday with Zev0 and the merchant skins.  Got tons of great stuff for Genesis 2, most of which was less than $5 each.  So much for food and gasoline...laugh

  • twallingtwalling Posts: 241

    Today's "mindblower" is a character for $12.  Call me cynical, but my mind is not blown. 

  • outrider42outrider42 Posts: 3,679
    The talk show set is unexpected and funny. I also like that it is a Genesis 2 product! At least by being G2, the poses can be converted to G3 for those who want it. Its too bad it doesn't have a "Drew Barrymore dancing on the desk flashing David Letterman" style pose. That would have been the icing on the cake. It would have been perfect for Yodkin, too. Are there any Steven Colbert lookalikes out there?

    I've not been impressed with DAZ's definition of "mind blowing" this entire sale. That's not saying anything against the PAs, who've created a lot of amazing products. (And I've added to my wishlist daily.) But by my expectations of "mind blowing," the product should be both exceptional and deeply discounted.

    I admit the actual discounts for new releases are good, and the additional 10%, (5% effectively,) for buying the "mind blower" is nice. In fact, everything about the sale is fine, except for that one bit of wording. "Daily Mind Blower" sets expectations much higher than the sale delivers. At the same time, I'm not sure what to call first among many Newly Mad featured items. Maybe the "Daily DAZ Pick"? Or each day have a different employee choose one and include their name... for example, "DAZ Steve's Pick of the Day" ... See? No wild expectations of a "mind blowing" product/price...
    smiley

    As for today's "DMB" item, it's nice to see a lower priced product in that spot. A lot of the DMBs have been higher priced items, which have kept many of us from "going for" the extra 5%. I know the only DMB I've purchased was yesterday's bundle from Zev0. That's only my second order so far this month, too, the first being last Wednesday taking advantage of the coupon code to get a ridiculously low price on V7 expression morphs. (Now that was mind blowing!)

    I am so not impressed by this March Madness.

    Yesterday, the daily mindblower was something worth bothering with, Zev0's long awaited merchant resource. Put it in the cart along with a couple of wishlisted "still mad" items (the tentacle and fairy princess) and no discount. Everything just sat there at 40% off. Tried the old log out, log in thing. Tried coming back a few hours later.

    Today, the mindblower works as promissed, but who cares, becasue it's nothing I want.

    Thanks, DAZ for yet another broken sale that just makes me feel bad about deals I couldn't get.

    Catch up sale today. But obviously without DMB, so 55% off max (50% without The Girl7 Pro Bundle rebate)

    ..a number of really nice items by Stonemason, Zev0 and others, but alas, too broke this year (all on the wishlist for now).  Had to even let my PC membership expire.

    C'mon Megabucks Lotto.

  • Charlie JudgeCharlie Judge Posts: 13,336

    So for I am a bit underimpressed with March Madness. Discounts have only been 40% or 50% for 2. Not even as good as a 60% off flash sale. Money is tight this year so I'll just wait for a better sale.

    The only real madness was last Friday and that turned out to be an "error" . So the items were pulled before I could complete my purchase. Yeah I know a few were put back but most of what I wanted wasn't

    That isn't Cailin hair on the promo figure, is it?  Maybe a goldtassel, but I'm not sure.

    Does anyone know?  Have I missed a post that already mentions this?
