I never cared for the TV show either, but then I was a small kid at the time and would have rather been watching Star Trek (yes, the ORIGINAL...lol).
I've heard rumors of a Gold badge user but haven't seen them myself, and no Silver, but I don't think they succeeded in building the kind of momentum or FOMO pressure they needed to sell a package that shrank in value at each tier with.that much markup (at $250 for non-PC and just the characters, HD, and webinar, I'm not sure you're really saving money compared to buying them at their regular 30% off new item price, unless you genuinely love and buy every character's HD morphs and agree they're worth an extra $30-$40 a pop. Even then, there are better sales).
I feel like if Daz were serious about enticing people to buy Gold they would've released the first figure DURING the Platinum run, instead of making everyone wait to see any characters until Platinum timed out, and then released the second figure BEFORE Gold was timed out (Gold ended April 20th, Jackie was released ~27 or 28th). People were expected to adopt Platinum without seeing a single character during the entire run (Platinum ended Apr 12, and Brooke appears to have reached customers April 13), and adopt Gold on the strength of ONE released character. I think failing to release more than one character before both these tiers timed out probably reduced any ability they could have had in building momentum with their increasingly pricy tiers. By the time Silver rolled around, people were probably bored waiting to see what else was coming besides Brooke and likely already either apathetic towards the SP thing, or grateful they didn't gamble their money on it.
Which one is correct, or can either be used?
From the SP page:
Show Jada 8.1 in her element!
Create a render with the theme, "a bold, roller-skating civilian that likes to keep her neighborhood a peaceful place.”
From the Offical Rules page:
OOOOHHHH!
Both of those make me so happy! Plus roller skates!
Maybe she's in a neighborhood watch...
If you're only going to do one, I would go with the official rules. But tbh I dont think they will exclude the one from the SP page either.
Peeking through her blinds while wearing roller skates.
It surprised me, too! I'm probably not going to go back to splitting products, because I hate doing twice as many promos, but that's definitely a narrower gap than I had with G1, G2, or G3 (I never sold a V4/M4 product at Daz3d, I joined the party a little late for that).
That's all good to know. Thanks @Sickleyield
Congrats to the Jazz contest winners...

(Kenzie has multiple now!)
yeah! well done everyone!
Reminder about Season Pass contest entries.
Entries are due on May 18 by 11:59pm (SLC time).
I feel like this has changed a few times?
Also, it needs to be emailed...
Official rules here:
https://www.daz3d.com/official-contest-rules
With the descriptor...
Like the last time, "Low on time and high on crime"? LOL.
I still don't know what that means... nor can I make that much sense of the Jada thing.
After the contest is over, this was my entry to the Jazz contest: "Jazz is my name, Free Jazz"
Congrats to the winners again (not me
)...

(SEE?! The rollerskates were really important!)
Okay. I have the email for Fred 8.1. Went to my Product Library while DIM loaded up. Is he stuck somewhere?
He must be hiding somewhere and Daz can't find him
Maybe they should have given you Wally instead.
I think they went for Fred Flintstone on this one. Wally too thin.
Now in DIM and my Product Library. Thanks Daz.
Here's the image from the Product Description in the library...
I think he's great! A little weird to offer all these average-looking people for the first season pass, but w/e. He's cool! Bonus points for flavor text that works.
My first run at him. I had to keep it simple, I have had constant fatal errors and full crashes of my systems since the latest Win 10 and Nividia updates. Driving me crazy.
Back to Fred. He has a curly smile. Love it. I did the swimsuit so you can see his default skin, I only changed his eye color to another option available. No fibermesh brows and body hair is painted on. I also used one of The Brute's pose sets, thinking it would handle his girth the best.
Yep. Jaqueline and Jada were the only two in the pass that I would have bought, up until now I've bought pretty much all the base characters. Granted, I put the blame on me for buying into this and believing it was a good idea, but I was looking at all the previous releases and how I was happy with all of them and thought it was a no brainer to save money on what I figured I'd inevitably buy anyways since the five characters and HD would be about fifty bucks more than the pass itself. I won't be doing the pass again, glad this is over with.
I like Fred too! I agree its strange that there are many average looking people for the first pass, however I am really loving Brooke, Jada, jaqueline and seems like Fred will be a cool addition as well. Its almost as if Daz did the season pass as a way to guarantee some revenue sales since averge looking characters probably under perform compared to the top runway models and beefcakes body builders that usually are sold on the site. I am glad I did not buy into the pass, but happy to pick up a few characters that were realsed.
It was fun and exciting at times to see what surprises DAZ had to offer. However, I beleive I'm going to skip the next season pass offer (if there is one). I would much rather pay the little extra to pick and choose the 8.1 HD characters I prefer the most.
x3
Same.
I was going to say I'd probably buy 2/5 of these SP figures, without specifying them... but Jada and Jacqueline are the obvious ones here.
I don't mind "normal", but... like, plus sized women? There's Bethany 7, and then there are lesser figures, IMO. Bethany manages a larger body shape in a way that seems better than normal? I'd rather want super-normal, you know?
(I'd leave it to the experts if Fred accomplishes "huggy bear" or whatever in a way that Bethany managed to pull of plus size with an amazing body shape... not into dudes myself, so I cannot really judge if he's "fluffy cute" or "ugh, like, no" in appearance.)
IMO, a Season Pass should be about stuff people would go crazy about buying. It should be "4 out of 5" must-buy figures, IMO... like a Torment, White Priestess, Cleopatra. A SP shouldn't be used to sell stuff that people wouldn't be interested in buying. That's not how it works with online games... SPs are a reward for loyalty$$$ up front.
"2 out of 5" isn't a successful SP, IMO, no matter what they think the sales numbers were going in. (Instead, it looks like people who didn't spend on the SP might be ahead of the SP users. That's not how you make a successful online gatcha game.)
Not feeling it. I don't mind his weight so much, but I've honestly never seen a heavier person done well in 3D. Not realistically anyway.
I had the same thought.
But I really like Fred's body! He manages to be chubby and cute at the same time. I liked Brooke's general shape but not so much the cellulite. But Fred's size is smooth, and to me, attractive. I can see myself getting Fred, to use alone or as a dial-in.
Exactly. Yay for having a body type for every type of person, I'm all for it so folks can have options if they want them, but don't lump these characters into something like this where people buy it sight unseen at a big price expecting the top quality of Daz Originals that we have seen released week in and week out over the years. Don't pull the rug out on what you've been releasing now. Put in more of your Torments, Priestess, Sahiras, Jadas and such, that's what I was expecting they'd do to make us want to shell out another hundred and fifty next time this rolls around. I'm working for a client and they needed a new character animated today and they literally said please don't give us any frumpy people, give us someone pretty. I'm buying these characters for my business and I can't use half of the characters in this pass so it was a total waste of money. I've worked in the film industry the past 20 years, I get what people want for their projects no matter if you agree with the casting of that "ideal bodytype" or not. Heck, when we were casting actors for a film in China that I directed a few years ago, the investor didn't even care to look at demo reels or sit in on the auditions, he literally picked who he wanted based off of their photobooks (they don't give a simple headshot there, we got booklets from actors with all different photographs in elaborate photoshoots like it was their own personal advertisement, what a fascinating experience that film was, I learned so much) and if they couldn't act he said who cares, just dub their voice over with someone who can act. Do I agree with it? No, but it is what it is if you want the gig.
Again, it's my fault for believing that this was going to end up being a good deal, I take full responsibility on that end, but I still feel completely swindled. I agree with the comment above as well about it feels like Daz knew ahead of time they were not going to sell many of these everyday people and so they put them in here to make sure they got their sales quotas.
Ah well, I'll submit my contest render this week and call it a day on the pass, take the three characters off my hard drive and never speak of this again. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with for a contest render!
