    I have shaders 1 and 2 and they are excellent. I haven't picked up 3 yet because I don't exactly understand the benefit other than being able to use it as a merchant resource or wanting a few more fancy metal patterns (of which the first two packs already had many.)

    If as someone else said, if you could mix the sale discounts across the genesis and toons, I'd probably have been able to do 12 items. 

    Instead, I splurged and picked up Mec4d's vol 1 and 2 shaders LOL.  I have vol 3 and use it quite a lot.

    If it had included Genesis clothing, then I would have easily made up 12 items. But characters....I can't even make 6 LOL

    Agreed, I have all the genesis 1 stuff I need with only a few clothing items in my wishlist and hardly ever use the figure anymore. I also don't do toon anything.

    Oof. Even at 70% off the Mec4d shaders are still over $10.  Still, getting more than that is unlikely, so I'm probably getting it anyways.  I've gotten good use out of volume 2, so I look forward to volumes 1 and 3.

     

    They are worth it, hell they are worth full price; she does great stuff.

    I can only afford one (IF I can talk hubby into it) - which one do you recommend? I'm kind of leaning toward Vol. 2 - as it looks like that one has the most shaders. However if one of the other two vol. are more useful I'd rather get them. Which do you recommend?

    I'm kind of interested in snagging 12 of those little figures (particularly the cute little gumdrop figures) for .60 cents each. They're adorable! :) I also want the froggy guy as I am interested in creating some The Princess and the Frog fan art. :)

    If I could only have one of Mec4D's shader sets I'd have Volume 2. It does have some metals, plus some of almost everything else - plastics, rubber, fabric (even wet fabric!), construction materials, volumetric water and loads of other stuff too. I use the pack nearly every day.

  • jakibluejakiblue Posts: 7,281

    All 3 sets are EXCELLENT. But if you can only get 1, maybe go for vol 02 as it has fabric as well as metals, glass, liquids etc. Vol 1 and 3 are all metals. See screenshots.

    I don't have the Frog Boy, but when all the rdna stuff came over, it wasn't checked whether some of it would work in DS. Might be worth seeing if you can confirm that Frog Boy will work in DS and not Poser only, just in case. If there were actual readme's for all this stuff, the file list would say if it contained pmd's, but there's none for any of it.

    The product info says "Compatible Software: DAZ Studio 4.9, Poser"

    I'd definitely return it if it doesn't work with Daz, as it says it does and sadly I don't have Poser. I hope he works, I think some Princess and Frog fan art would be really fun. :)

    Oh thank you! Those screen shots are very helpful! I think that Vol 2 sounds like the way to go. :D

    Thank you! Yeah, that does sound like Vol. 2 is a much more useful product. I'm sure eventually I'll want Vol. 1 as well, but for now Vol. 2 sounds like the best choice. :) Thank you for the advice! The wet fabric sounds AWESOME!

    Frog Boy is 100% Fine in Daz 4.9 - I forgot I bought him at RDNA until he turned up in DIM

    hahah Even cuter than I thought he'd be! I bet he'd look great with a wet-ish skin iray shader. Not bad AT ALL for .60 cents! I'm definitely getting this little guy! (If I can find 11 other inexpensive items I want too - maybe the cute little gumdrop figures).

    There is some nice stacking going on for Ironman13's products. With the purchase of a "Super Heroes on Genesis 3" new release and a "A day in the life of a Diva" new release you get 70% off much of Ironman13's stock.

     Which one is the "wet fabric"? My eyes aren't what they used to be LOL and I can't locate that one. 

    edit: well, I'll be!!! I've never even noticed that one before!!! Wow. Found it.

    If you have no need of a merchant resource, probably two.

    They are all great; if you do a lot of 'hard surface' items, maybe one or three, and I'd lean towards three.

    Also, Shox-Design's catalog is 40% off without purchase, from the "Genesis 3 characters to the next level" promo. Buy one item from the "Super Heroes on Genesis 3" sale and stack an additional 45% discount, or a total of 67% off, or 77% if it's also a Daz Original!

    Maybe? I don't know, there are so many products in the toon and G1 flash grab sales and I'm too new to be able to match the products to the vendors without looking at each product separately.

    No combo between mega fastgrab and flash-grab. (Shameless self-promo. ;) See my script to find items in multiple sales. Link in sig. ;))

    Ohh Good eye! Very nice! Some really sweet looking outfits for under $5, not too shabby! :)

    Just a quick heads up, Divamakeup... Chantelle is Encrypted DAZ Connect!

  • jakibluejakiblue Posts: 7,281

    I think Mada may be stacking too....with the Diva sale. I'm hopeless with math so can't work out the percentage, but it seems to be a bit more than the stated discount. Need someone to correct me on that tho.

    I'm not seeing Mada in any promo except the "Super Heroes on Genesis 3." But there are a lot of DO's in Mada's catalog, so 45% on top of the 30%. I did see one item with Anna Benjamin, and her catalog is 40% off no purchase required from the "A Bit of Grit (and Flora)" promo. Good catch.

  • jakibluejakiblue Posts: 7,281

    'Ah yes, I was going by the DO's. Also I'm a PC member so that may make a difference.

    Yup was just looking at that, and wondering why I hadn't at least put in wish list; wish we could block items.

    Ah thank you. :D I wasn't plan on buying any of it (too broke lol), just seeing how much the sale lowered the prices. :) But I don't really have an issue with Encrypted content. I understand that a lot of people do though, so the heads up is always appreciated just incase someone else might be considering that purchase.

    I highly recommend this add-on for Firefox, it's HUGELY helpful in figuring out the percentages. :) I downloaded Firefox just so I can use it. lol It also has some great features for finding items to spend the PC+ coupons on. And one of my other favorite features it has is that on bundle pages, it "fades" any contained products already owned.

    Glad you like it, divamakeup. ^_^

    Also wanted to note that M5 Pro & Starter as well as V5 Pro & Starter bundles have been added to the Genesis Flash-grab sale.
