    I'm interrupting to say... I've bought so so much, toooo much during this PA sale, that I really don't want to think about it. So how about a distraction???

     

    KindredArts has set up Monster Mash challenge in the freebies part of the forum for Halloween this month. Wanna join in? It's a good time to get spooky with it! devil

    All our bizarre collection of monsters and scary and weird things can come out of hiding from their crowded places in our dark runtime libraries, and mingle? frolick? throw a party? give us a good scare? adopt a pet? cheeky

    I'd really enjoy seeing the renders! And hopefully I'll manage to make a few too... smiley

    https://www.daz3d.com/rustic-cottage ; The mesh is kind of funny-looking. Is that a Lidar/3D scan?

    It's outdoor and indoor too, so it's good in that view too. But it would be a nightmare to put shaders on it.

    I'll just say the abundance of changeling chick's Catalina figure embarrasses the sparseness of Audrey 9. https://www.daz3d.com/cc-catalina-for-genesis-9

    The orange banner isn't working for me -- posted to the issues thread, but just double checking here in case it's user error... anyone else having problems?

    100% this. In general, CC figures are what Daz original figures should have been doing all along in terms of what you get for the money (and that's before we talk about the insane full price of Daz originals in comparison). Daz originals should be the benchmark that everyone aspires to. Especially now with the Audrey release, it shows that they really need to start learning some lessons from the better, more customer-focused PA's on this site like the awesome CC.

  • Ooh, that sounds like fun!!! I can use the Meowlings I got a couple weeks ago. Can anyone point me to free horns? Is this a Message  From the Spirits to finally buy Monster Mash Starter? We'll all be making multiple entries since there's a limit of 5 paid items...

    Oh, gee, wait. First  I gotta get on the ball and replace my late computer!

    Exactly. We get two extra alt-shapes included, 3 different skins, a lot of eye and makeup choice... And all that as one product, not a pricey bundle of pricey products.

    Technically, I don't really need another figure. But for all those options and at the Golden Ticket price (by the way, thank you so much for it, ChangelingChick!), this is a no-brainer. Especially given that she mixes really well with other figures. So many possibilities!

    ^^^All of this, and the /incredibly/ thorough promo renders showing all the options? Daz seriously needs to catch a clue.

    Also I want to add that I adore the new (? to me anyway) emissive option for the eyes that has the little glowing sparks! Perfect for when a sidhe is about to visit the "and now you find out" part of things on some idiot who crossed them....

    Same: Coupon code is invalid

  • Richard HaseltineRichard Haseltine Posts: 107,869

    What do you have in the cart when the coupon comes back as invalid, if it still does? I just tried with an item from each age-group and it applied, though only one item was above the floor price to show an effect.

    Not sure what changed, but it spontaneously started working for me. (Noted in reporting thread, forgot to update here, sorry...)

    I don't normally buy G9 but your comment encouraged me to have a look and its now in my cart. Don't think I would have at normal price but $2.99? it's a steal.

    Linky: https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/744446/freebie-challenge-october-2025-monster-mash-main-thread

    miladyderyni I've been wanting to use my meowling in another project recently. It's cute! But I'm wondering if it can be fluffed up a bit. smiley

    So here are some free horns, in case they're useful. I'm not sure of the best places to search for these now that sharecg is gone, so asking in the challenge thread, you might get better pointers from the experienced freebie-challenge enthusiasts:
    - https://www.renderhub.com/mysticartdesign/faun-fur-and-horns
    - https://www.renderosity.com/freestuff/items/93325/g9-horns
    - https://www.renderosity.com/freestuff/items/80747/horn-for-g8m-cornes-pour-g8m
    There are some more free ones on renderosity for other generations - Just search for "horns" in the free stuff category.

    Speaking of characters, there are so many versions of humans that aren't white perfect women that could be modeled. 

     ...indeed, and so many seem to, for the most part, look alike as well.  G8 and G3 had more variety for  both genders.

    ...01:50  west coast time (02:50 Daz time) and the orange banner code still isn't working on items in the Featured Artist sale.

    Post edited by kyoto kid on
  • joannajoanna Posts: 2,178

    Interestingly, I didn't get an orange banner today, even though I own enough of the headliners PA and featured PA, so no extra 30% discount for me with that code. And the new releases are few and not exciting to me, so no 20% wishlist incentive either (I could have picked some still new if they were allowed).

    So... "Ah, what a great day to NOT shop at Daz!"

    But all is good. I've bought way too much during the PA sale anyway, and I have lots of stuff to do outside of browsing Daz for hours to buy more. And honestly, I'd like to see what the anniversary sale is like, because my membership is expiring soon enough, and I'm ready to press cancel on it without the incentive. Which reminds me, I should figure out what I want to use my Daz+ coupons on.

    Chris Palomino said the code was CREEP-30 in the reporting topic.

    Thanks, must have missed. Still, probably will pass on shopping today anyway. I spent sooo much during this sale already.

    There are in fact two orange banners, "Golden Ticket VIP Pass" gives an option to buy 3 (7 with ndebt new), still new items for fixed price of 5.99 each.

    Its not exactly cheap but you can buy some more expensive bundles as well.

  • ElorElor Posts: 3,133

    I only have one message and it's from yesterday.

    I tried the code and it did not work for me. I guess you might need a certain number of golden tickets for that one to work and I don't have enough.

    The "creep-30" is working for me today.

    The Golden Ticket banner was hidden under the normal one. I didn't see it, but it sure did trigger in my cart! And not just for still new products. Did 'Still New' get extended to three months? Because I had it apply to two DO characters from 10 July 2025. I am not complaining, I have had them on my wishlist since they came out and never saw them below a certain level I couldn't justify. But $5.99 was gold.

    It might have something to do with the catch-up aspect of the sale? Or maybe it's coded wrong... around here it's a coin flip.

    No love for me on the VIP GT deal regardless. No banner, nothing in my messages, nothing in DIM, and out of curiosity I dropped a Still New in my cart just to see if it would do it anyway. Nada.

    No big. Enough other offers have treated me well that it's hard to mind missing out on this one. Hopefully others are able to score some phat lewt, though!

  • It still bugs me a little that a Golden Ticket stops being so golden after only three days.

  • @memcneil70 Daz seems to be counting everything since sometime in March as Still New.

    @SapphireBlue thanks for the links. I just hope I can get a new computer up & running in time to participate.

    Am tempted by the second banner, I love that Superhero bundle by Sickleyield but reluctant to buy more stuff since I can't use it right now.

    How long should a Golden Ticket remain golden? At least the tickets are more generous than punches. "Buy one, get 30% extra for the next 3 days" beats "Buy one every day to build up to 30%, lose all discount if you miss a day!"
