    I have the bundle in my cart, but one thing struck me...

    I already own https://www.daz3d.com/the-streets-of-asia-2 and https://www.daz3d.com/the-streets-of-asia-4 looks very similar.

    Are there any obvious differences? Iray materials are a given, which makes it a good purchase just for that alone. Is the pre-load scene radically different?

    There are a lot of similarities to SoA 2, but IRAY and included camera presets is HUGE!  That pagoda and little dock out into the water help to sweeten the deal too.

    Thanks! That's what I wanted to hear. It's already in my basket waiting for when I get home...  I wanted to see if I should temper my expectations. :)

    Streets of Asia 4 is a much, much bigger and more complex set.  I've just bought it but it's going to be the weekend before I have time to do it justice.  I've been wondering what Stefan has been up to lately, he has just provided a spectacular answer.

    Cheers,

    Alex.

    Yep Stonemason's Streets Of Asia and the Pricepoint for me made this a do not think, do not pass Go, straight in the cart purchase. I don't have any of the Streets of Asia items and they have been wish-listed forever. The addition of a Mousso character is a plus. Love the outfits as well. Actually, there isn't anything I don't like. Well done Daz!. Now can you stop now? My bank account already hates me.

    Here's a render with The Streets of Asia 4. Sorry for the fireflies, I had to stop it a bit early so I could get back to work. :) Next time I'll have to add more Iray Section Plane Nodes to cut down on render time. The set is gorgeous and quite large so it does take a while to render. I noticed that parts have been sectioned off in groups in the scene tab, I think hiding the off-camera parts would work too (that's probably why they were set up that way and I feel dumb for not hiding some of the off-camera parts before rendering lol). I'll have to play with that more next time I render the environment. :)

    I'm super happy with this bundle! Bravo to all the PAs involved! I hope Daz does more bundles like this with other themes as well. :)

    Well, the top one in the set of 4 characters means Dragon, but I don't know about the rest. They're too stylized for me to tell with my limited knowledge of Chinese.

    My husband's family is Chinese but he's seriously out of practice so this could be wrong but the thinks the top one might be something like "Dragon Descendant" (I'm guessing Dragon Woman or Dragon Lady considering the name of the bundle *shrug*). The bottom one he thinks might be "Fortune" or "Prosperity".

    It's a nice little set. It really would be nice to have more of these themed sets to come with buildings, like Streets of Asia 4. It would help with sales.

    Stonemason keeps upping the quality on his sets. Everytime I think he can't do better, he does!

    This set, coming on the heels of the Mrs Chow 8 set, is probably a boon for both.

    Anyone sleeping on this because they just bought Mrs Chow should take a close look at this bundle & toss it in your cart, if you're able.

    I'm honestly a bit saturated with female bundles. We've had 3 in a row... And was really hoping we'd see something for the male characters.

    here is a small test with the streets od Asia but you won't find that place, as I shoved houses around :D

    Very good render! I love the dragon! I had to go hunt for him, as I didn't know he existed until now! heheh He's really cool looking. Here he looks like a big puppy asking to be pet. lol

  • LinwellyLinwelly Posts: 6,069

    Thanks a lot @Divamakeup

    The dragon is the eastern dragon (very old model) I put it through anagenessis to make it Iray compatible and altered some surfaces. The pose set you can get for it is rather nice as well

    Hmm, I was keen on this with the purple banner but my PC discount for DOs doesn't seem to be applying to it. Only seeing the base 40% for MM new release, not the 58% on other MM DO new releases. Banner seems to apply in cart but the DO bonus still doesn't. Guess I'll sleep on it and see if it gets fixed.

  • LinwellyLinwelly Posts: 6,069

    @greys probably best to make a screenshot of your cart and inquire with support

  • davesodaveso Posts: 7,919

    mine is way higher now too ... went from 29 to 42 ..yes..went from 58% off to 40% off ... plus all the other stuff increased 18% as well. 
    Cart cleared.

    I couldn't make sense of the remaining disscounts, but I have sent in a query so (assuming it's wrong) it should with luck be fixed fairly soon.

    Thank you Richard. My purchase depends upon this being cleared up.

    Early, test render of StoneMason's AWESOME The Streets Of Asia 4.  Testing light and composition. Need to add a Heron in the water below the Pagoda, or a Sumo Wrestler doing Tai Chi in the Pagoda, or someone sitting on the end of the dock soaking their feet... Or whatever.  LOVING this new set!

    Exactly what happened to me. There was a banner when I put it in the cart around lunch time, later that evening the banner was gone and prices had jumped.

    That's getting to be my response more and more often.

    There's always someone saying "just file a support ticket, they'll refund the difference" but that amounts to spending more in my time than the discount was worth. Sales only are worth my time when they work from the start with a minimum hassel. They way they work now they add a bit of "bad karma" over everything.

    The Purple (blue, green, orange, whatever color,) Banner is just an Exclusive Message in your inbox that is being added to the page. It disappears if you click on the X in the banner, and I had one disappear after reading the message from my Inbox. But as long as the offer is in your Exclusive Messages, it's still valid.

    When something like this happens, check your Messages Inbox -> Exclusive Messages. If the message is there and you're not getting the discount, report it to the Mods. That means in the March Madness 2019 thread through the end of this event. It is part of their job to inform Daz of these hiccups, so the tech elves can kick the code and get things working again.

    I know it can be really frustrating, but don't miss out on a great offer. Not if this bundle is something you really want.

  • GreymomGreymom Posts: 1,146

    Wow!  Could not pass up this bundle, with Stonemason's latest and a Dragon Lady too.

    Mrs. Chow is wishlisted, she will go great with Stonemason's sets, and with the "Old Japanese Town Edo" products.
