The Daz+ page has been updated (I don't know when), and now, we have easy access to the new releases and the items discounted with them:

well my FOMO did pay off

bought 4 DAZ+ things I wanted with the $6 off $18 coupon yesterday

amd my subsequent gold star let me by Stoney"s gates for $7 with STILL-SIMPLE

I cannot afford to buy something everyday though

so unless there a single day deals occasionally

I won't be accumulating starts

To keep just a Silver Star you can just buy every other day - unless something catches your eye. Which is all I can do til next week, when I have a better budget.

My order today was cheaper WITHOUT the coupon code. Made that make sense, lol.

Crossover categories, some of the stuff in School Yard Finds and Western Wear is also in Featured Artist Stores. Coupon code breaks the stacking

genaris · February 23

LOL - yeah, leave it to Daz to create a category of products & a coupon deal attached to it that... raises prices on many of the products. The coupon/category codes should be FIXED TO ONLY LOWER PRICES that are ABOVE THE COUPON deal price and leave the prices alone on items in that category that are already below the price instead of rasing them UP. Trawling through the category I saw items I wanted, and hadn't thought about lately and was happy to see, some of which were above the $5, but some already below. For my selections, the coupon added to my cart total, instead of subtracting. So, those items can lounge in my in my wishlist for a better deal... This is by far not the first time this sort of thing has happened with Daz deal coupons/product groups, so it's not like this is a black swan event....

Every other day would flip between gold (buy-skp-buy) and silver (skip-buy-skip). Buy-skip-skip would keep silver, but it would rely on there being something on the third day that you wanted (and might well be more expensive with only the silver discounts and moving to Still new if there was something you wanted on one of the skip days).

Elor · February 23

I think buy-buy-skip should work to keep a gold star:

skp-buy-buy
buy-buy-skp
buy-skp-buy
skp-buy-buy

For those who have played with EzFinder, if you have content split up into a few different runtimes, does it allow for that? I assume that it works fine even if the content is from another site that doesn't provide DIM support, right?

You might want to check out this thread: https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/756376/ezfinder-promos-a-bit-confusing.

For me, this thread made me second guess whether I want this product, and I'll likely go with Mousso's Timothy instead as Mousso's products are always excellent, so I know what I'm getting.

Thank you for pointing that thread out! It seems my setup would not work with that at all, so I'm glad I didn't take the plunge.

mambanegra · February 24

And I agree with that thread's title. The promos weren't very helpful at all...

SilverGirl · February 24

Thanks to those who pointed out that EZ Finder is not recommended unless you have a SSD. Mine's not, so you saved me the hassle of finding that out the hard way.

Not bad of a MM day for me too. With the $5 new mad release (Timothy for G9), I got 3 Stonemason's sets for under $10: Streets of London, Outlaw Alley, and Jungle Construction Kit 2. I was on the fence about the Skull Gate which is stunning, but I can't think of anything I could use it for.

paulawp (marahzen) · February 24

I bought all of today's new poses (including the cat set), the bar (because I can always use retro Western settings) and the hair items from Saturday, when I didn't have any stars built up yet. The new items were around 73% off with a gold star, 8 tokens and buying more than two Newly Mads. I threw in a few "Mad Artist store" items, which were 90% off.

That's actually not uncommon. I've noticed that a lot of these flat-price coupon categories will have a lot of products that frequently sell for less, especially if you add tokens into the equation. Might be a good deal for the casual consumer, but for regular buyers they're easy to pass up.

Added Timothy to my wishlist immediately, he looks awesome!

Genuine question, @daveso -- I get that your're feeling disillusioned, but is there a particular point to disparaging what the rest of us here are (presumably) still finding fun (to one extent or another)? If you feel the need to move on, that's understandable -- interests come and go. And there can be an emotional process involved in letting stuff go. But it kinda feels like you're pooping in everyone else's cornflakes.

I gotcha, why don't I blow off. i apologize. You all Enjoy your time here. Yeah, I have some emotional connection to this site, why I don't know, other than my beginnings in 3DCG, over 25 years ago,  but it is gone now. I shall say no more.

So I get both of these comments. Sometimes I rant too. Say things because I could use a better filter. Say things because it's honestly how I feel. I sort of felt day one was blah. I ha

Edit HA! DAZ knew my thoughts and cut me off lol! So . . . to continue I spent $130.54 5 days before and $100.01 4 days prior. Yet no star for me. I guess I should have not spent those dollars and spent 1.99 on those dyays and the next day and the next and whippie I would get a star for saving $224.00 dollars in 5 days! But. we get over it and we lick our wounds and sulk in a corner for awhile and come out to play again. It's simply disappointment. And feeling disappointed is okay. We all have those moments where we say something inappropriate be it from too much wine or too much stress or because our pets are dying, and these personal burdens sometimes make things seem worst than they are. But often those thoughts do stem from a truth.

So I simply bought 1 item from my wishlist, for $2+ bucks and I even figured out a formula LOL Buy, buy, don't buy, buy, buy, don't buy, buy. buy. don't buy. But if something yanks my chain I will buy on a no buy day. If nothing interests me I will do the formula because I know (for me) March Madness will be a roller coaster worth riding and when I do buy, I want the biggest discount I can get. Why, if not happy, renew Premier for March Madness? I simply paid DAZ+ 8.99.  The thing is I never look back and say why. And I suspect that is why others are saying move on. If you have to look back and say why that is a clear indicator that something is over and these move-on comments are a simple helpful truth, But if you can look at the why and say because . . . , AND that because makes you smile, even if that because is not happening yet, that is an indicator that it is a good thing and moving on may be a bad thing. So the real question is why? And in there lies the answer to what one should do.

+1 .....We are all here for different reasons, I am always playing around rendering, tinkering or doing something with one thing or another, I don't post most of my art, textures, 3D models and stuff over here on DAZ.. I think folks are here too, as collectors. I appreciate the hard work that artists put into their work... I could also appreciate taking a break and/or needing to rant and vent.. happens to all of us at one time or another..

Hi everyone. My DAZ+ subscription has currently expired (just a few days ago). I'd like to rejoin during the MMs because I appreciate the benefits of the DAZ+ subscription, especially during the MMs, but I'd like to wait for a subscription offer that usually occurs during the MMs. Does anyone know if there will be a discount on the subscription during these MMs? And if there will be a discount on gift cards with no purchase required?

Elor · February 24

I suppose you don't have a star: today's offer is a 15% discount on Gift card as long as you have a star.

jeffbdvs · February 24

. You might try CrossOver or Whisky, which are compatibility layers (ie they help Windows code talk to Mac native code) whereas I think Parallels is a Virtual Machine that runs a full version of Windows. CrossOver/Whisky provide the code translation directly but only IF the Windows app cooperates - from my googling, complex apps don't always work.

I use CrossOver for Windows games (mostly Steam) and Parallels for, as you say, complex apps. Your recommendation for CrossOver is a good one; great minds think alike!

None of us know what sorts of deals Daz will offer on anything or when. All we can do is say what Daz has done in the past and speculate about what promotions they might bring back.

If you have bought at least one thing over $1 on Saturday, Sunday, or Monday you can get 15% off a gift card today.

As for membership discounts, Daz hasn't been doing those rarely since Premier was added. I don't recall any last MM.

Today's Daz+ weekly freebie is -- surprise! -- a room: https://www.daz3d.com/minimalist-room-interior. BUT the door opens and so do the blinds!

I find it too dark for my tastes, but I do like the props. They need a different color scheme, though.

Good for some noir scenes. Haven't tried it yet as my 3d machine is currently kaput but could possibly change the color scheme

Most of these rooms have had opening doors, though the more SF ones have had sliders rather than hingers.

3DSaga · February 25

The dark rooms aren't a big deal for me; I just add light to them. Some of them have details that are hidden in the darkness, and are quite nice.

ANGELREAPER1972 · February 25

I'm not sure if Garrett has an identity crisis. At least the file list sticks with one name.

kyoto kid · February 25

...well have yet to catch a Shooting Star as every one so far has been a G9 character.

Though cool to see RawArt's store featured along with the Pick-N-Grab coupon.
