    Amen, and even more so for Hair Textures.  At least clothing textures usually make an item look significantly different, but how many slight variations on blonde, black, etc. does anyone reaaly need for the same hairprop?

    I'm hoping more G8 stuff finds its way on there. There's no reason to keep the older tech at premium prices.

    I agree with this, hair textures are something I rarely buy. Particularly since there are hair shaders that you can use to alter most polygon hairs, and the shaders often look better than the original textures for a lot of pre-Iray hairs.

    Yes. Once I discovered SloshWerk's Iray hair shaders, I stopped buying hair texture packs. If a hair comes with a lot of presets, great. I still often get hairs as old as V4/M4, if I like the look & they are in Outlet or otherwise deeply discounted because it's relatively easy to use on later generations even G9.

    Same. I don't buy hair-specific shaders anymore.

    Other great shader packs I'd recommend are chevybabe's:

    https://www.daz3d.com/alchemy-for-backlight-hair-shaders-for-iray (expansion pack for the above)

    I have and use Vyktohria's To Dye For iray hair shaders that I bought at Rendo. They work quite well. Mostly, hair is universal. I treat it as a prop parented to the head of the recipient. So, generation to generation is perfectly fine. I've heard that's not necessarily the case with some G9 hair, but my (extensive!) hair collection is mostly M4/V4 to G8.1.

    Sticking to a few favourite hair shader packs can make it easier to light characters consistently too.

    I like giving a character several hair styles...down, ponytail, bun etc, when I am doing a story, and hair shaders give those hairs the same colour.

  • 1. Check for an orange banner (sometimes there are more than one) & message with a code for 1/2 price Outlet & Quick Grab items. Stacks with the Daz+/Premier discount! Sometimes codes work all weekend but I'd play it safe & use it before Daz midnight today.

    2. https://www.daz3d.com/x-fashion-olympian-warrior-outfit-for-genesis-9 has an Editorial License. (Quick Grab)

    Thanks for the comments about Iray hair shaders! I didn't know shaders could be applied across hair assets; that's going to make some hair I have a lot more useful. 

  • vrba79vrba79 Posts: 1,515
    My weapon of choice in that arena is this one. https://www.daz3d.com/dg-toon-style-hair-shaders It's all I ever use.

    I've been really striking out so far this year. Once again nothing in Quick Grab that tweaks me. I sort of gave up0 on the outlet store. How do you find something that has just been added or something, or does it not change ever. 

  • TorquinoxTorquinox Posts: 4,463

    OS changes incrementally, and what you see depends on how much of the current selection you already own.

    Outlet does changes and, IIRC, I believe it's supposed to be shuffled at the beginning of each month.  As for fining new stuff, I've found that just looking at the artists listed is really helpful.  Obviously endors like Anagord and Valkerie, who hundreds of items in outlet, are rarely going to change, but there are a lot of artist who only have one or two items and those change out farely often.

    I've looked at all the different sales, and haven't found anything that tempts me.

    The Outlet Store continues to be full of unappealing stuff... It's stale.

    It's the same thing with the Quick Grab.

    I  already own too much but it definitely changes

    I'm feeling a bit overextended at the moment with a big discretionary non-DS purchase, so I think my spending on all items is going to be minimal for a while.

    Normally, I do actually enjoy refreshing V3 era stuff and getting it to work in Iray. It feels satisfying breathing new life into dormant items. It takes time, and it's fairly creative & mentally energetic. Not only that, using Outlet only stuff keeps the cost down, too. Regards, Richard

    Search with wishlist. I don't go over 2-3k products, just the wishlisted part of it at the beginning of a new month.

    I throw everything that might interest me (1:10 000 chance I'll need it for something) on the wishlist. 

    Why? Because of wishlist sales, Christmas Wishlist gifts, etc...

    I wouldn't buy most of them at the usual price, but in the outlet, QG, big-big sale, or for free, I would say. Ok, give me that.

    If I don't see anything on my wishlist as part of the new banner's lists, then there is a 99% chance that I could ignore the new sale. (Buy a new item and get older ones)

    Yup, same system. Such a timesaver. Yeah, my list is unweildy, but it's less unweildy than searching the whole store.

    Weird... I do the same, but my wishlist only has 66 items. wink

    What can I say, I'm a hoarder. 10k++ here at DAZ, "a few k" at Unreal and Unity, Cosmos, Gumroad, superhive, actionvfx, etc... 16 TB wasn't enough for the stuff; I had to get a new SSD.

     

  • QG messed up again today. Congratulations DAZ for correcting the correction that made last week work correctly. I'm sure it's an issue with 12noon & 12midnight. Maybe someone needs to think in 24hr clock times when scheduling it.

    Richard

    You'd think for efficiency's sake they'd just fix it properly and be done with it... but no.

    I am surprised, computer programmers are the ones who pushed me to think and write as 'yyyy/mm/dd' and with the 24 hour clock or international/military clock. I use it for my sorting of files at home. 

    Seriously, my father's generation is the one where the extremely early computers were developed (30s/40s/50s), mine where desktop computers arrived in homes (70s/80s/90s), my granddaughter's was playing with cell phones and pads while still in a carry-cot (201o's).

  • davesodaveso Posts: 7,918

    nothing to see again, QC prices are very low says @caravelle. Yeah, if a member.Not so good as base. 

  • SilverGirlSilverGirl Posts: 3,245

    Almost an hour and a half past Daz noon, and still nothing.

    So unnecessary.
