    ......113$ even with the coupon,.ouch.

    Works out a little over $5 a pop.. great starter bundle for people who don't have huge catalogues.

    And completely and utterly worthless for those who already have most or all of it.  I don't mind that so much, but the jerk move on DAZ's part was to also make the Staff Picks bundle the only key item for the day.    

    Another item has been added as a potential key.

    Well, at least that's something.  A bit sad that it had to be pointed out how exclusionary that was before they did, but at least the issue was addressed.  Thank you for mentioning it.

    The Stacking concept over on Hivewire would be helpful here. They call their bundles 'stacks' and if you already own an item in the stack you don't get charged for it if you decide to buy the stack.

    it would be true madness if the dragon 4 came out.  whats the hold up?

    is one of those new coming pro bundles a dragon?

    ...crikey we're still stuck using the 15 year old Mil Cat, just with the addition of dForce fur and which no longer loads in at the size of a Great Dane.

    on the bright side, the carrara milcat fur preset still works

    bottle brush cat tails remind me of hermione's cat smiley

    ..I just would like a cat that bends and poses more like a real cat without mesh distortion..

    Did anyone get this? https://www.daz3d.com/ultrascenery--realistic-landscape-system It looks really interesting and I'd love to see renders and reviews if anyone got it.

    There's a commercial thread on it which includes renders: https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/380431/ultrascenery-commercial-released/p1, including user renders in the later pages

    It takes a while (and I do mean a while - about 10-15 minutes) for the landscape to be generated after you make your choices in the parameters, but after that moving around is smooth enough. Rendering isn't fast, but not glacial either (I7, 16 Gb memory, 1080 gtx). The results? Utterly gorgeous (and more tree options in an add-on) have already been announced. I look forward to doing more than exploratory renders over the weekend:)

    Return of Day One PC+ $2.20 items was great fun! Picked up a few things I missed first time around, and the price came down a bit with 2+ items in cart.

    Could we please have a thread here to repost DAZ facebook coupons.... many people don't use facebook.

    and the codes are there to reward those who do - it's a quid pro quo. (And I don't use Facebook either, so I miss the codes too.)

    I don't get it though. Why is Daz rewarding people who use facebook? Do they have a deal or something. I've never seen a coupon for the people on their forum but they are rewarding people who use another application that has nothing to do with the 3d world?

    I loathe facebook, so imo, you deserve them for requenting it.

    Ah thanks! I just checked out the commercial thread and he says he renders on a Mac all CPU! It's already in my cart!

    and eyes that actually reflect what a real cat looks like, and how they change depending on mood of said feline and lighting - plus other influences.

    So this is my first "March Madness" year (Well, in terms of a Daz created event; more generally I've had plenty of madness during March in my life!)

     

    So my newbie question: is it a normal part of the "madness" that it starts in February and ends a week before the end of March?? Because I notice the banner today says "Final Day"

    AH! Thanks, Wendy! I hope so. I wasn't sure if it was maybe ending before the end of March as it began a bit early.

    If it's the last day for the Fantasy bundle that's a-okay with me. I haven't had any interest in it so the last few days have been a snooze-fest for me personally (lots of fun for others though, oc)

    Is this really the LAST DAY of March madness 2020?
    Can't be.

    Only two to three weeks long?
    Can't be.

    Say it isn't so.

    This is the first last day of March Madness.

    NOOOOooooooooo

    It started so strong, a few glitches in the middle and then that's the finale?

    Maybe a new sale era starts on Monday.

    Like the PA or spring something......or, or PC+ or something....

    gotta be.

    March is a month, how can the sale be only weeks?

    My guess is that it's referring to the Staff Picks fantasy bundle, rather than March Madness (though I could be wrong on that).

  • davesodaveso Posts: 7,754
    Ive picked up a few things, but mainly from the flash sales. Only bought a couple new items. Not much madness in my opinion

    It's only final day for 65% off the staff picks bundle, I think.

    Those coupons helped me to clear few wishlisted items. Final day for the bundle probably. However 4 hours means 48 hours. 24*12=288 hours. :)

    It could be worded better because my initial thought was that MM was ending soon as well.

    The fantasy stuff isn't my thing at all, so I'm really glad we'll get something else finally.

    There are a lot of things in DAZ ads that could be worded better...

    So glad last week's offers weren't tempting to me.

    It's been a week, just checked sinceI bought anything except the bonus item.

    Sometimes it's good to be low on store credit + not appealing offers. You save money.

    Wow, so it seems if you're shopping in the PC $0.99 flash sale you can stack it with the Spring Cleaning Sale! I had a Newly Mad and a Still Mad item in my cart and so most of the $0.99 items actually came up in cart at only $0.40-0.60! Terrific savings to be had today :) I just purchased a cart with a total value of $395 for $34!!

    ..the catch, you need to buy 2 New or Nearly New items to get the extra discounts most of which are over 10$   The two that interest me would come to 35$ by themselves
