    Since a lot of people are picking up this product, perhaps this would be a good time to ask: Has anyone encountered a "swollen" lip problem with using Vanilla Sky's skin textures on G2F? I do notice her lips being ever-so-slightly larger than usual on V4, but it's extremely distracting on G2F. It seems like the lip texture overhangs a bit, but I'm not sure what would be a good way for me to fix this since I don't have a texture template.

    Sometimes I think people selling an item get caught up on what they're "losing" instead of reazling that they made money they wouldn't have made otherwise. I realize they've got to pay the bills and they can't sell for a loss... but if you could show them, "look, those stacking sales where you lost thousands of dollars, those people really wouldn't have bought at ANY other price... so you MADE hundreds of dollars you wouldn't have made otherwise..."

    usualy we do look at it on the bright side,and some often price to account for deep sales, but after seeing posts in this thread I went and looked at my account..our account pages show around 100 products on each page,I had to go 15 pages deep before seeing returns of more than 3 dollars(of which we only get half)..and these are models priced in the 40 to 50$ range..so congrats to anyone who picked up my 50 dollar models for 50 cents,that's what I call a bargain.but big thanks also for those who posted about it here,I wouldn't have noticed it otherwise.

    it's a curious contrast to the 'prices are too high' thread that was running here recently :)

    @Stonemason, that makes me wonder as I'm sure that I'm not the only one who bought multiple sets of yours at more than that. I paid a little over $11 each for a couple of your sets and I believe $5 for a few. Yes, I paid $3-$4 for a few smaller sets. But I didn't see any as low as $.50cents. I can't check exact prices atm as I'm not where I can access the emails. So I find it strange that you're only seeing $3 or less.

    the orange banner/exclusive message is giving us 42% off today's new releases (instead of your holiday discount) I can never work out discount math...Darius 7 is showing at 51% off in the store @ $22.03. With the 42% off, does it seem right that he is $12.78 in the cart? (72% off)

    I'm not sure on the math either but I paid:

    Gianni 7 Pro Bundle 23796 1 $6.61
    Darius 7 Pro Bundle 34031 1 $38.36

    and wasn't about to say no to that.

  • jakibluejakiblue Posts: 7,281

    That looks right :) I'm grabbing that Gianna pro bundle too, but just the base Darius and the april hair.

    I got that too, except I just wanted the Gianni 7 starter bundle :)

  • jakibluejakiblue Posts: 7,281

    I only had one of the hairs from the Gianni bundle so I was really pleased to pick up the pro bundle - I didn't even have Gianni himself! LOL. 

  • anikadanikad Posts: 1,919

    Clearly not been shopping here enough, only getting a 35% discount in my messages!

    72% is correct, for any DO released today.

    I already have the M7 pro bundle, and everything I want from the Leo 7 pro bundle. But there were 7 items I didn't have in Gianni's pro bundle, and for that price? It was the first item I put in my cart! lol

    Perhaps because of the big Darius 7 launch today, I didn't see any of the outrageous discounts within the first hour of Daz Midnight. Then again, maybe they've figured out the problem and fixed it.

    I think it's because there is no "best seller" associated category today, just specific items with specific discounts (the pro bundles.)

    I was up at 2 AM... of course this is the morning that there are no major glitches. 

    In the meantime... the Darius promo image is fantastic - even when you *know* it is CGI and look hard at the image, it is convincingly photorealistic. 

    And I've decided that staying up from 2 AM to 3:46 AM obsessively going through all the "Five Free Items" promotion from start to finish might mean I have a problem. 

    The fact that I can tell, just by the promo images, when I get into RDNA V4 and V3 era content is also... a sign of a problem. 

    While I was browsing, I suddenly got swirling circles... which convinced me that they had just updated the items and I'd have to do the whole thing again. (Which I didn't do... my problem isn't THAT bad...)

    Anyhow... I'm pretty sure I've found all of the most desirable items and whittled it down to about 35 that I want immediately and a couple of hundred that went to the wishlist. 

    While the deal is good on Darius, I just don't see ever using him... even if it gets me a Gianni Pro for $7.

    So how are the discounts for Ozichicks store supposed to work? Is it 60% (buy new release) off the sale price, then the Holiday Discount off that?  Or 60% off the regular price, then the Holiday Discount? EDIT: And what if the product is already more than 60% off to start with? I don't get how this works, it's different every day!

    The 60% with new release is for non PC+ customers. For PC+ add 30% (for DOs) and then 42% (probable banner). When in confusion, I open a different browser where I am not already logged in and compare the prices from there.

    LOL You're getting as bad as I am! I get up at 4 am to write but seem to be mostly shopping lately- for my characters! They now have more clothes than I do. I actually whittled down my wishlist yesterday to *only* 1800 items. Yeah. It's bad, but I do get a lot of inspiration here.

    Loving the freebies. I've been grabbing quite a few of the add on texture sets that I've put off buying. Great to finally have them.

    I LOVE Darius 7, they did a fabulous job on him. Still on the fence about buying the base vs the pro bundle. I don't need the items in it any time soon but they look great. I'm trying to pace myself. Need to be doing other holiday shopping besides Daz shopping!

    A few great deals today with new purchase. Knox hair for $5? Yes, please. Lots of great Bluebird3D items too. Hunter Queen has been on my wishlist for a while. Glad to have it and the textures (a freebie) today! And King of Hearts! Love that set. I have a character who would actually dress like that and has the attitude to match. Can't wait to do some renders!

    Ozichick's back catalog is 50% off, or 60% off with a new release. If the item is also a DO, you get another 30%. Those are showing in the catalog at 66% off. Apparently, Ozichick isn't considered a "Featured Artist" today, as the Bonus discount isn't applied. Without a new release, I'm seeing 65% and 76% for the non-DO and DO respectively. With a new release in the cart, I'm seeing 72% and 80% for the non-DO and DO. (My Loyalty Rewards Discount is 30%)

    Hope this helps.

    Speaking of Ozichick, the Bad Ballerina HD Set is very nice and has a TON of options- for both Iray and 3delight. There are so many different color and texture options, it's like it comes with it's own shader pack, for both rendering engines. It has a lot of material zones too, for custom texturing. Not sure everyone needs a ballerina set, but it's showing up for me today at $5. I grabbed it!

    That is the key for me. I can't possibly see a use of it, no matter the price. Thanks for the HU though

    Don't say "us"!  It only says 5% for me.  Can't buy anything, so that will probably not change.  sad  Not in PC+ anymore, either.

    Hi, Dana! 

    You should still be able to get four free items from this list: http://www.daz3d.com/xmas-wk-bonus-selection

    Once you pick out your four items, use the code DAY-FOUR-BONUS and it should turn all four of your picks free. There are over 4,500 items on that list to chose from, so have fun! It might take a bit to decide. lol :)

    PS - I highly recommend the shaders from the freebies list (if you don't already have them)! These are some of my favourites that I use often:

  • boisselazonboisselazon Posts: 458

    well, if it goes like the previous days, I'm indeed planning to get all of them at day 6 or 7...for free I hope

  • thistledownsnamethistledownsname Posts: 1,336

    A warning on the discounts today - there's a new freebie in the general freebies area (far right on the banner).  If it's in the cart with the current promotional freebies, it will count as one of them and mess things up.  Best to ring it up as a separate purchace.

    Thanks for the tip. I don't have any of those, because the promo images don't really show them off very well. It is hard to tell what they would look like on a real garment or prop. Do you have some renders to show off? I'd love to see them in use.
