I believe that is the plan.
This banner popped up and left, just found the conversation. It still works, as noted in the thread. If you use it on a DO at 30% off, you end up with a 76% discount. I got the Aubrey Pro Bundle. That link will take you to the qualifying items.
And the other sale (BE-THE-BEAST) I got Deepseas Eagle Bundle and Ocean Wonders I like what both of those have in them, you get a lot. I also got that Pixie Dragon thanks to a render on this thread. See, you guys make me spend money too!
Someone noticed it was gone around mid-May, so I'd say two months. Hm-m, 60 days...
Maybe DAZ could use this:

Oh, I forgot all about "Ocean Wonders" or I would have used the "Be-The-Beast" coupon before it ran out.
It figures that there would be a 40% off Age of Bullwarg after I got impatient and bought it on Sunday. Oh well time for the return dance with support heh
Yeah, I often forget about the 30 day thing, but mostly because when I buy something, it triggers a discount for other things and if I return it, the prices would shoot up on everything else. I do wish they would get the Orders in My Account to match the emails, which show the actual cart.
That character today for Bullwarg is adorable, isn't it?
Well, good to know I prompted your memory so you can grab it next time. They do seem to repeat the offerings, thank goodness. I imagine it's because since the page is set up, they probably grab chunks of products and repost groups instead of inputting them all again.
We get quite a bit included with that product so thought it was worth mentioning. LOL we can all use the Sea Life Packs 1 and 2 with it.
Interesting! I've always wondered if most companies online have a two step authentication system in place to access critical information. I'm not sure how all that works, but sounds ultra practical.
Isn't it! Now I wish I had gotten Bullwarg although I still don't know what I would do with them. Its ok though theres always another sale!!
This is something most will know about but I just got around to do it.
Are there things you use a lot but have to go looking for them every time you need them?
I created a Favourites Menu in Studio and added the things I use the most to it which saves me looking through the Library.
Click on image for full size.
huh.. I didn't even know that was possible, got to look into that me thinks :) Thanks @Fishtales
Don't forget to save the Layout if you don't it will be removed the next time you load Studio.
Good tips, thanks Sandy!
BTW - This was noted in the sales thread by Rawb. NEW STORE SOFTWARE.
Well my PC+ is about to run out but that's just a PA product so I might buy at full price eventually. I'm about shopped out here really. LOL, it's a weird feeling but sort of like knowing I only like one paw paw tree and 2 medlar trees to complete my yard, it's a good feeling. Now from here on out, it's pure luxury shopping for my yard, mostly for flowers or flowering small shrubs! I have to improve quite a bit of topsoil near my house foundation first though.
I'm turning that on for every online account that I have that has it, eg it is now turned on on all email addresses I use, all Apple accounts I have, all Microsoft, all Google, & all social media accounts I have, also all 'game engine' accounts I have; after one of my game engine accounts had someone trying to bust in as those game engine websites are known to have a lot of scammers on them and are attacked by a lot of scammers from the outside too.
I still have to check all my financial and shopping accounts to turn on two-factor authentication and some of the shopping sites I don't expect it on until 2FA becomes a standard turnkey solution that they are all provided with by their eCommerce Shopping Site Software provider. DAZ 3D would be in that boat.
It's a hassle to setup initially but it does allow you to set a device as a recognized device so that it doesn't ask for 2FA everytime you use the account. However, make sure you setup and have available the 2FA backup recovery codes, phone numbers, and emails in case you loose your phone or trade it in and oops, you forgot, the 2FA apps and email clients and phone numbers where all on that single hardware device that became the single point of failure.
Also the 2FA apps that I use, Microsoft Authenticator and Google Authenticator, seem to be only on iOS and Android only when of course I'd like to install them on my Windows 10 PCs.
Indeed it is and I will be grabbing that once support finishes with the refund process.
Authy is really good, and I think might run on both.
OK thanks
So, rumor has it that Aery Soul MIGHT be considering re-releasing some of their older discontinued products with the disclaimer that there will be no support for anything. Personally I think this would be fantastic as there were a number of excellent products I was unable to purchase at the time and I wish I had now.
I never understood why they would withdraw older products - it just means less income and annoyed customers.
Heu folk, those of you that haven't yet used an 2FA Authenticator there is also the Oracle Mobile Authenticator runs on Windows 10, iOS, & Android. Probably osX as well although I don't remember it being mentioned. Of course part of security is logging who tries to use an Authenticator, where they try to use it, and on what devices they use it on something that Google, Microsoft, Apple, Google and the others log in their databases on those of us that use it.
I'm not concerned about that logging of my logins as such businesses should keep track of whether it's actually the stated customer using their own accounts and not someone that's broke into their systems such as what happened on twitter yesterday.
I'm just popping in to mention (and haven't checked to see if it's been told elsewhere, I assume so) that you need to check, there are possibly TWO purple banners and you won't see the second one unless you X out of the first. I have one for each bundle.
Oh ouch. From 7:30am on Friday (July 17) to 1:30am today (18th) the United States had 71,285 more cases.
576,430 jumped to 647,715. Yeah, we're on our way to 100,000 cases a day, just like Fauci said. I am SO glad I don't have school age children. My sister is a Special Education teacher and all her kids were great with the virtual interaction with her, they really liked it! So she has put in the request to do that. The district is asking teachers over in Jacksonville their preferences.
Wow! The district I work for did not ask preferences and we were told everyone will report to campuses on August 10th.
or check Messages in the person menu at top-right, or in your account pages.
http://trackthetropics.com/hurricane-season/ Track The Tropics is a site I found recently, it shows the path of the disturbance by about Friday. Folks in western Texas / Texas may have a tropical whatever by then. Hey, we have TS for Tropical Storms, TD for Tropical Depressions, and TW for Tropical Whatevers. Anyway, thought I would give you Texans a heads up. You may want to start at the main page.
Sorry to bump an older post, but I just ran across it and thought this might be a little helpful, since your post was helpful to me in finding that there was a problem. (Amazing what you miss when you don't have a character smile widely.)
What I wound up doing was comparing Alexei's mouth settings with Dain's settings, since he's the only major character that's anywhere near as fair as Alexei. What it looks like is that there are three settings that are the principal contributors to the rosy glow:
1) Base Color Effect - Dain's was set to Scatter Only, Alexei's to Scatter and Transmit. (Honestly, I'd have thought Scatter and Transmit was correct, since mouths are fairly translucent, but apparently not. I think the mesh may not be thick enough for that to work, since structurally it has a chamber between the inside and outside of the mouth, and then the mouth itself is all sorts of hollow, and none of that is how a real human mouth is organized.
2) Translucency color - Dain's is a very dark brown, while Alexei's is white. In theory, that should work -- there's a color map in that slot, and it should simply transmit the color map information when the color is white. Again, I don't know why it doesn't work, but it doesn't. I set Alexei's to pink at first, then made it a LOT darker; that was the only way to get rid of the glow completely. (This one was the last step I took since it seemed so counterintuitive.) I think you can make it a bit lighter than I did and have it still be realistic; what the PA was trying to get at is that with a person, depending on angle, you can see into their mouth, and you can see color -- it's a bit strange if you're looking straight at them and only see inky blackness -- but that's due at least as much to wetness and reflection as anything else. It's really hard to get to that level of reflectivity with the inside of a Genesis 8 mouth without it looking kind of strange, so they aimed for translucency instead.
3) Thin Walled - Dain's default is ON; Alexei's default is OFF. I'm guessing that's interacting with the fact that Genesis 8 has more thin walls in their mouth than a person does.
To be sure, I basically set almost all of his mouth settings to match Dain's, but those three were the ones that had the most visible effect. I wound up leaving his teeth alone; they didn't seem to have anything to do with it.
Alexei's Default Mouth Settings:
Alexei's mouth with (mostly) Dain Settings:
@vwrangler I'll do a sticky post so to speak- make this one of my Tips in the references on the first page. I'll put it under Alexei Mouth Fix. EDIT: DONE, and credited.
I'm not going to be online for a bit, while it's cool outside (lol 78 degrees at 6:20am, real feel already 85) I'm going to do some more walking. Thanks so much for explaining the fix, he looks good!
