    The big one that I'm waiting for (and my wallet is hiding from) is Souless Empathy.  Also got a lot waiting on The AntFarm, but those are mostly cheaper to begin with.

    Others that I'm looking forward to: BlackFeather1973, Angry Viking Press, ThePhilosopher, SloshWerks, and MallenLane.

    Today was an assault on my wallet - I'd like a week of shoes and swimsuits* now...

     

    *(nothing against either category, but I've got plenty of both, and even the ones that make me go 'hmm, nice' can go straight to the wishlist)

    Anyway, as far as this PA sale goes, it's been a bit sedate, but I'm hoping that will change soon with some of the teased "coming soon" products like LAMH 2.0 and earth and ocean products by PA_ThePhilosopher, maybe Lilith7, Monique7, and I know that Mec4D has been working on some stuff, but no idea when those will be out.

    In today's sale, DT's Ana looks lovely, but it sure seems as though there's little to differentiate her from many of the PA's other characters (not really a bash on DT as many PAs have an identifiable look to their characters). I swear I think the most recent half dozen characters share 1-2 skins based on the promos. Does anyone have any of the recent characters who can comment on this? I'd hate to pick up several through the sale and discover identical skins with little else to differentiate the character shapes. If I'm going to add a couple, I'd like them to offer something unique.

    I agree that Digital Touch's character are very similar way beyond "artist style". I actually like them but I allready have 5 of them, so I m skipping them now...

    Regarding Missing PAs: I Yesterday realized that I urgently need one of Simon WM's products, so I hope he is going to be festured soon or at least his backlog in one of the catchup sales.

    Agree, great characters but two or three fit the niche; their promos are a textbook case of how to show of a character though.

    :sigh: why is it all 4 of the "7s" that have turned up in the megagrab are ones I have? Aiko 7, Teen Josie 7, Victoria 7, Micheal 7....maybe it's a sign I should stop buying the 7s? I keep hoping maybe Rune will turn up there....

    I don't have Teen Josie, Aiko 7 or Michael 7... but $11 for the base seems like a waste of time and money, and the pro bundles are not discounted at all (other than the 30% PC+ discount).

    ​I decided instead of complaining about how bad this sale is... I'm going to use it to remind me that the deals I received significant other character models from V4 to V7 and much in between were absolutely awesome.

    ​At this point I have V3, V4.2, V5 and V5 Supermodel, V6 and V7, M3, M4, M5, M5 Heroic, M6, A3 and A6, G4, H4, F4, YT5, K4, MG3,YT3... and a ton of other characters and content... for the price of a couple of the pro bundles.

    ​If at any point I thought that was a scam... that they just price high and sell low... this should convince me that no... people are actually paying thousands of dollars for content I picked up for pennies on the dollar. There is an A3 character in today's fast grab for the same price I paid for the M4 and V4 pro bundles.

    ​This sale makes me very happy with the wise purchases I have made in the past.  As for this sale itself... "There's always another sale..."

    ​:)

    Yep, same here. Rune 7 would be great.

    If you're into manga style renders and happened to pick up Star 2.0 when she came out, Aiko 7 apparently mixes *really* well with her. The thread on Star 2.0 shows some fantastic and versatile renders. In that context, picking up Aiko 7 for $11 might be a great option.

    I actually thought today's selection had some pretty tempting things. The characters and hair bundle especially, and everyone loves stonemason stuuf and there are two of those in one day!

    The Stonemason back catalog items in the mega fastgrab today is pretty nice.

    Since he moved to DS only, not even obj ... I did grab some of the older stuff.

    Ahhh I'm such a sucker for new Star content. I might actually have to spend some money D:

    indeed, other than michael; I'd prefer any 7 but michael.

    Another "lots on sale" catch-up day meant my resolve cracked - but just a little.

    I picked up Sliman for M4 (great character and perfect for a render I have in mind) and 1-Click-V4-Age-Injector (which works on M4 too) (4th Gen is alive and aging well wink )

     

  • RenomistaRenomista Posts: 921

    Yeah! Catchup Sale!

    Now i can get a couple Prio A Stuff from my wishlist including one Product that I urgerntly need for my current render.

    Also a lot of nice stuff in Mega Fastgrab including lots of Stonemason's Back Catalog again.

    The other nice thing: I catched a 1 year old EVGA Titan X SC for a bit above 550€ yesterday on ebay. Can't wait for it to arrive.

    I'm glad I noticed a lot of Cookie items were in mega fastgrab yesterday and bought them then, or I'd have wound up spending a lot more today, more likely. $1 hairs add up fast o.o

    I had almost $250 in my cart... 40+ items, I think. Have it "whittled down" to only 31 items and $155, (75% average discount.) Still more than I can spend, but I'll worry about what more to remove after I've had some sleep. Rune 7 for $12.58 stays, though. As does SimTenero's Shape Reprojector for $13.98... AM's Wolf 2.0... Peach Fuzz... I'm in so much trouble.

    *Must stop looking through fastgrab* - have you seen the prices on Ron's brushes?

    OK, one more, but that's the last purchase for this month ... probably.

    Nah, only a little bit.

    I looked at it then stopped; I realised that no store credit so no sales. Waiting for a decent deal on a gift card; good for me and bad for Daz as I'm not spending.

    Hm, are they allowed to be used as "merchant ressource" ?

    ( from not seeing any mention of this so far, I'd guess no - but wanted to ask just to be sure... )

  • FrankTheTankFrankTheTank Posts: 1,481

    Wow, these are the best deals I've seen in a long time. So many things stacking for 83-88% off in mega fastgrab once their in the cart. Just blew through the last of my store credit.

  • cherpenbeckcherpenbeck Posts: 1,416

    Got Rune. Got Ivan. Wishlist down to 42 utems. I'm a happy camper.

    It says in the readme that you can use them as a merchant resource - you just can't distribute them in such a way that it's easy to extract the originals and use them as a brush.  So for example, if you used the metal scratches brushes to paint some scratches onto your texture map for a machine of some sort, that'd be OK.  But just painting one brush onto a square, wouldn't be OK.

    I actually thought the total discount was higher. Still, this knocked all of the remaining major purchases off my wishlist  in one order... and the PA coupon applied, bringing it down to $131.  No more shopping at DAZ for me this month.

    I swore to myself... I *swore*, when I first followed that Facebook ad link to "Download free 3D rendering software from DAZ 3D...."

    ​That I wasn't going to get sucked into spending hundreds and hundreds of dollars on digital content.

    ​"If I can't find it on freebie sites, I'll just do without it... I'll just download it and install it, but they're out of their minds if they think they're going to get me to spend money on content!"

    ​I lasted until that first blowout sale a couple months back... and then it was all over for my bank account.

    All sorts of fun stuff today but I'm SOL until I get my disability cheque at the end of the month, oh well...

    Oh? That's great, thanks! smiley

    I didn't yet buy them because I didn't see something like this mentioned on the store page... But I read something like that on the page of someone elses' brush-set (don't remember which one though), and basicly your answer was what I was secretly hoping for - So it seems I now do have some reason to buy them...

    ( ...and the part with the blank square is kinda obvious even to me - though for completeness' sake it's still good you mentioned it )

     

    G'day (heading towards store...wink)
