    Looks like gift cards are currently 24% off with Premier and 3 Daily Dealz. (I think it's 19% for Plus) Nice way to celebrate the Studio 6 launch :)

    Oh, I love them all! Thanks everyone! The 2 afro puff styles and really long braids are styles I don't have. The only afro styles I own are very short like https://www.daz3d.com/omri-hair-genesis-2-female-s and I don't think it has longer morphs. https://www.daz3d.com/hs-kelly-messy-curves-hair-for-genesis-9-8-and-81-females, which I own, might look good too.

    I was considering https://www.daz3d.com/bast-hair-for-genesis-3-female as well. I am happy to use older hairs. I have my go-to Iray hair shaders.

    Oh for a much bigger hobby budget...

    This is where the wishlist is so valuable. The long game and get a few at a time and eventually you might have them all. Of course, new tech and new PAs and styles will come along too! Also, I have started to notice a weird relationship of putting an older item on my wishlist, and the next week it shows up in Outlet or Quick Grab or a sale where it is really marked off.

    I've gotten to the stage where I'm just chucking anything I can see a possible use for, or just something I like, onto my wishlist just in case a decent WL offer comes up. Bagged a few this morning as well as a gift card with 24% off.

    Will confess I'm disappointed, but not surprised, to see that there doesn't seem to be a manual download option. With an off-line machine, so far I haven't had a chance to try out DS6 at all, because DIM downloads seem to be the only option for the alpha, beta and now full release. Frustrating.

    Regards,

    Richard

    DIM-only for betas is nothing new, but I'm surprised there's no manual option for the general release. Maybe it will be added later. 

    For the record, if you have access to an online machine where you can install DIM you could do this:

    • install DIM on both online and offline machines
    • use "online DIM" to download the product files
    • copy them in the "downloads" folder of "offline DIM"
    • open "offline DIM", you should see the files as "ready to install".
  • richardandtracyrichardandtracy Posts: 7,874

    My only 'online' machine at home is an Android tablet, which doesn't seem to like DIM for some reason. It's sufficient to download most manual download stuff and then I can transfer the stuff from there.

    At work where I can go online with a PC, - I can't install anything. Not unreasonably.

    Regards,

    Richard

    Not the most thrilling DS6 release with these  New products and not a new DO character bundle.

    People should check DIM. Inside this, in the bottom Ad, you should see a coupon for DAZ+ and Premier users for a very generous coupon for free DAZ Originals.

  • AelinAelin Posts: 123

    Well, like richardandtracy I don't use DIM, only manual instalation. I don't use online my comp to play with 3D. It's internet time OR 3D, impossible to do the same at the same moment. So I guess Daz can continue without me, I prefer old versions as longer as they'll work. If one day they no longer? Well, AI only...

    Well that was a nice surprise in DIM. $200 off DO for Premier ($100 for D+) and the code actually worked first time. STUDIO-6-PREP

     

    Makes up for not getting the 50% membership renewal.

    No bottom ad for me. For a moment, there was one to install Daz 6 (which is not yet installed), but when I restarted DIM, it was gone too. I guess I'm not good enough Daz+ member...

    Hello! 

    I logged into Install Manager and downloaded 6. At the bottom of the screen was a banner with a code for STUDIO-6-PREP. I tried to use it. I couldn't, and now I can't even find the banner again. Any ideas?

    Thanks,

    Jason

    Don't be impatient, there are a couple of banner messages. Wait for it to scroll.

    For some reasons, clicking on it is sending me to an Oops page and I have yet to check if the coupon is working, but there is two bottom banners rotatings: one about Daz Studio 6, and one about the promo.

    Typo, but there was a space so doesn't affect the link.

    Woo hoo!!! Got it to work. - Thanks

    If there's a space and no other text directly after a link the forum software considers the space as part of the link and adds code for the space to the URL. Often that means the link doesn't work when you click on it.

    I don't remember: did Daz offered a 50% reduction on annual memberships before? (since the launch of Premier)

     The same thing happened to me, I only saw the banner for the new DAZ 6 version and not the other one. I waited very patiently, as suggested, when I saw the banner to scroll and see the second one appear, but it didn't appear, and after closing and reopening DIM the first one disappeared too. :(

    Hopefully it works for you! Do mind the restrictions: no new items, and no D+ items. It also doesn't work on OS/QG.

    I don't think so. April had 25% off.

    No. And this new format that does not allow to purchase in advance makes it a disadvantage to those that paid full or only 25% off

    I was going to complain but then i see in this thread about the 100/200 DO coupon and say, ok, that is the compensation.......but the thing is not over there. 200 looks like a lot more than the 50 i would had saved (from 25% off) on one year of premier, but DAZ made a horrible move in advance:

    They literally remove each and every DO from being included in featured artists. The 200 counts form stock (regular 35% off). That means that the actual value of the 200 is reduced a LOT, how much?

    $200 at base 35% off: $307,7 base

    $50 at 88% off (35%+70%+40% current) : $416,6 base

    So, back to being pissed off because i'm not allowed to take advantage of 50% anual premier.

    I have not tried this yet, but someone mentioned that you can do this now by switching to monthly, then switching to annual.

    I do wonder if this 50% off is there to tempt people to resubscribe since a lot of people (including myself) have a membership expiring in a few weeks. This is due to the offer than ran when they first switched to annual memberships, when you could get 15 months membership for the cost of the new annual price. I recall a fair number of people took advantage of that offer, which appeared in mid march of last year, so all those people will be out of membership soon.

    I think it was mentioned that it only works if it's your last month of yearly, but maybe I'm wrong.

    Either way, if there was a quick and easy way for the existing members to renew their membership at the 50% off rate, I'd definitely do it (my membership doesn't expire till October), and I could even be tempted to upgrade to Premier (since the 50% off and the remaining D+ months might make it attractive). But without it, I'm just not going to bother playing switching around and hoping that I might get a good offer.

    This sale is quite annoying to me. It's set up so you do smaller buys more often, but using tokens favors buying more items, less often. The 5 item artist limit rustles my jimmies on getting $40 to next 8 tokens...

    Did you download anything? The bottom ads don't pop-up at all until you do.

    Anyone using the $100/$200 off coupon should be sure to put a new release into their cart if they have any Daily Dealz bonuses. The coupons seem to accept the saving from Daily Dealz to lower the price.

    As a test I have 3 character bundles in my cart. They are, in theory, 35% off. MSRP total is $289.97

    In the cart, there's this text:  Welcome Daz Premier Member You're Saving: $192.09

    Then I added a cheap new release and the cart says: Welcome Daz Premier Member You're Saving: $173.69

    The new release lists at $11.99 and $7.83 with other stacking deals

    When I applies 8 tokens the text becomes: Welcome Daz Premier Member You're Saving: $135.08

    So stacking is important to take full advantage of that deal.
