@SilverGirl Yes, all that! Well said. But I don't think Wendy meant it the way it was received. Just sayin' and I don't recommend going off on a long tangent about this comment. I doubt it would end well.  

+1 to this.

There's strong reasons why the BBC writes: 'Rage bait' named Oxford word of the year 2025. Makes you wonder what 2026 will have in store for us.  

Cheers!

I just noticed that all the extra metadata that I added to DS 4.24.0.3 and then 0.4 for products which used to show up in DS6, is not appearing now. I ran Update and Merge Windows a second time and have after working on the metadata yesterday in DS4.24 I exported my user data before shutting down. Previous versions of DS 6 did show the extra metadata I use to work in Smart Content when it was on the same computer. Checking other files, I am finding some products I worked on during the past few days do have the metadata, others do not. Very hit and miss. So I am not sure if I got confused with working on two systems at once or what. But I do remember working on these files on both my MacMini and Win 11.

HAPPY NEW YEAR's EVE (day):  I for one am glad to stop using the "25" in dates now.   As the late Queen Elizabeth might have said, it has been an annus horribilis.  Especially in the US and moreso in Eastern Europe.  Let's hope and strive to make "26", not so 'orrible.

Now the shop isn't loading any products for me at all...

Spent 4 hours filling a shopping cart and now this... Grrrr...

It isn't loading any for me too. Lots of spinning icons everywhere.

Advent calendar also broken.

Same problem here, the advent calendar is not displaying the two items as it did previous days:

I confirm this bug.

This year, the Advent calendar seemed to be running smoothly (finally), but right on the last day... 

I'm another one - I'd hoped for one last grab from the Advent calendar and I got this. I have had eligable things in my wishlist I've been pre-loading since Nov that haven't appeared, over 92 things in my wishlist nearly all DO under 10000, so I don't think it is for lack of wishlist items. Tried 2 different computers and 2 different browsers. I hope we hear back from Dax HQ before the day is over.

I had interestingly overall half empty calendar and this last one empty yet again. No hatred or anything just kind of a bamboozled that why? At some point I didn't actually buy nothing as it seemed like just confusing to spill money onto this, then even more so that you sttill are going to get nothing even if you actually bought something. Am willing to blame AI tools and whatever automatisation for this you know. It's already bad enough that items on Daz's store aren't listed for exmaple in actual order when it comes to lets say from cheapest to lowest but rather annoying potluck. 

This. I still had one last punch left. Am really expecting as a client that things work as they should work and are as promised.First one I didn't get how it even works.Then there were some problems. :'D Am willing to forgive this if next year we'll be getting proper and working advent calendar.

Happy New Year to you all.

Hello,

Anyone know if these products have undress or genitals reveal morphs?

maybe the advent calander isn't showing because we already own both items?

thanks to Elor for posting the link to Huddleroom as clicking on the claim freebie link took me to page showing other products from the creator 3 of 5 

I don't suffer from the infliction of not having many of your products, I have most of them LOL and it was a delight to feature many over in my Art Studio thread when I was running that for many years. Your products are so uniquely crafted and I enjoyed the craftsmanship. Never had to worry about anything being sub-par!  Enjoy your next adventure, and thanks SO much for all the effort you put into your work. It showed!

Well. That was unexpectedly awesome, even without the tokens.

The bigger selection of buy-ins included something I wanted for a price that was... well, not what I would've gone for as it stood, but as a buy-in it was acceptable. I started with everything I had wishlisted, then went through and found some utilities that I either hadn't known existed or hadn't been able to justify for the price (yeah, it might be convenient, but do I REALLY need it?).

When everything in the cart averaged out it was $1.31 an item (before the discount gift card store credit), so I don't have to feel guilty over it. I would've jumped to snag that stuff at the $2 Outlet/QG price, and let's be honest, the odds of a lot of what was in that selection hitting the Outlet are pretty well nill. (And then I checked out immediately because one never knows with Daz, and I had no desire to close out the year with a price hike to my cart peeving me off.)

I can only imagine the insane-o prices you folx with the tokens are getting... wish this had hit earlier in the month when I wound up letting a few expire because I couldn't find anything to use them on, but I'm still quite pleased as it is. I don't often have a full complement of tokens to spend (although I do now! ...figures) so getting an averaged-out price like that is a solid win. 

Happy shopping to those participating! I'm off to figure out what I'm grabbing from the Nice List, since none of it was on my WL. The Vamp Hunter outfit never showed, but I nailed it down for $1.27 anyway, so no loose ends. :)

I pity the poor intern who has to go through all of the old products and weed out what is 3DL-dependant.

Thanks, all. I found a script called Wardrobe Helper (WH). It is brilliant and helps with part of my problem. It scans a figure and stores all clothes, the gens (also GP), the hair, ... Then, to restore the actor in a scene, you load the figure, e.g. Victoria, and use the WH to quicly load everything. That way, you just need to connect the render to a scene name and use the same name in the WH file system. Sonja, you might use this to get rid of some paper.

Incidentally, if you purchase WH and get frustrated that WH isn't seeing the hair of the model, you have to go to Filter and uncheck "Use Word". I'll post this separately also.

Happy New Year!

THis is purely supposition on my part and shouldn't be construed as anything except a WAG, but with the crazy deals hitting so hard at the end of the year, I have a feeling that's more about squeezing as many pennies out of the end of 2025 as they can, no matter how insane the discounts have to be.  All I know is that between being Premium, having more tokens than I know what to do with, and the various coupons, I've been picking upsome massive cartloads (75-100 items) of newer products with average prices of around a buck each, so I'm not complaining.

I have no idea when Daz/Tafi's fiscal year ends.  I suspect the pricing, the daily freebies and heavy discounts, and other aspects of this month's sale are driven by assumptions that many customers have more time for shopping, and maybe have some extra disposable income (gifted money or gift cards, Christmas bonuses, etc.).

I think it's safe to assume anything Genesis 2 era product (SKU# around 20000) and older will only have RSL/3Delight materials.

Daz still includes 3Delight textures up to Genesis 8.

most figures, clothing etc can be rendered with iray regardless of 3Delight shaders

its the render specific things such as shader and script products I was referring to 

things like LineRender2000 for example 

and 3Delight volumetric and other procedural shaders

WendyLuvsCatz said:

DAZ really need to clearly mark all 3Delight dependent products in the store

not so much props, sets etc but things that rely entirely on the render engine such as shaders and render scrtpts

there are people who have been buying stuff as long as I have who apparently still don't know better so n00bs will definitely mistakenly buy them unable to use them

I am not suggesting removing them as many like me will still keep a version of D|S that can use them and may want to add to their library 

but it needs to be made very clear to people going forth who cannot obtain a 3Delight capable version of DAZ studio that they cannot use the product

Yes, I'm still regretting not buying more 20% off gift cards, but after calculating what's in my cart today, it's far more cost-effective than previous promotions where I used gift cards for an average 92% off.

I already own nearly 50 of the 400 items today. Of course, the prices back then weren't much cheaper than they are now, but there are still many I haven't bought.

By the way, does anyone remember what the last day of last year's promotions were like?

I got a decent gift card in early December to try to lock in a budget, and paced myself all month sticking pretty close to my target discount and waiting for specific things I wanted while mostly avoiding impulse buys and nice-to-haves. These Top 200 sales were unexpected and completely busted the budget. Based on sale prices the rest of the year, these offers seem too good to pass up, but Daz letting go of top content for mid 90%'s discount makes me wonder if there's a new subscription model planned, a new figure generation coming, or a new plugin-breaking version of Studio finally arriving next year.

Looking back through my orders I didn't buy much on the 31st, but got a good cart on January 1st for an 89% average discount, then my orders dried up until mid January. If you follow the link in the first post of this thread to the old thread, and navigate back to the new year, it looks like Daz did some catch-up days and then the store cycle shifted to something less exciting for a bit. https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/714996/there-s-always-another-sale-thread-discussions-only-pt-4/p4

So out of curiosity, who's planning on intentionally keeping their punches up tomorrow in case things are extended, vs. who's figuring this is the end of it and letting them lapse?

I've got enough QG's off my WL this week that I might as well. And I feel like last year I didn't (based on the abrupt end of the previous year's sale) and wished I had, 

I've been shopping the Top 200 sales so I'll have punches and tokens. But no more budget! :) Even if they offer a gift card I don't think future me can make it happen. But I got lots of wishlisted goodies in the Top 200 sales!

Punches paid for themselves in my case by providing an extra discount the days I wanted to shop. But the Nice List freebies were generally a bust since Santa picked a lot of stuff that was already in my library.
