There is this flash sale that no one noticed I guess? Or did someone post and I didn't see it? Either way, it is actually kind of good compared to recent sales, 70% off on three items without buy-in. So better then the halloween one where they also had a bunch of PA stuff at 70% off.



EDIT: Also, new Daz+ freebies:

I'm not paying much attention to the Daz sales these days. Mainly I just watch this thread for someone to call out a screaming deal that almost never seems to pop up. For me, screaming = 85%+ off/less than $2 an item (or say 50 cents or less on pre-Genesis era stuff).

I did buy a lot of stuff during the shortened Daz+ October Anniversary sale (whatever it's called these days, this year's fall sale was too short!) but since then it's mainly been about finding the best place to burn my monthly coupons.

I'll be along for that ride for a while, I added a year to my membership expiration date with that coupon that was mentioned earlier, no regrets although all of that botany freebie stuff is beginning to chew up a little too much hard drive space.

I keep waiting for 8TB NVME SSD prices to drop, I have a couple of free NVME slots but won't bother with anything less than 8 TB unless I absolutely have to, but don't want to pay over a thousand dollars for NVME storage... should have jumped on the drive I was looking at back when it was only $700, how was I supposed to know that 8TB NVME SSD prices would double within a year?

The 8TB SATA 2.5" drive is much cheaper, but I only have room for one of those in my laptop and have one installed already...

Anyways, just wanted to say feel free to wake me up if a really awesome Daz3D.com sale pops up out of nowhere!

I keep thinking along the lines of "these 70% sales aren't actually that good, should I really post them? Later they'll do a real 85% sale and then directing people to the 70% one will look bad". But it never happens! In fact the sales recently have been so unbelievable bad that compared to those, "just" 70% off with no buy in actually does seem quite good.

But, maybe this year they are going to have good black friday sales? So maybe this sale I posted is just supposed to get people to spend their gift card money, so once the better sales happen later this month they don't have any gc money left and need to buy with undiscounted money? Could be...

Actually, we do have a time machine, we can check last years black friday sale! So lets take a look:

From here: https://f95zone.to/threads/the-daz-...z3d-renderosity-renderotica-etc.64546/page-44

Looks like you guys were not _that_ happy about the sales back then either. But apparently they were better then 70% off, seems like there were some deals at 80% with a coupon for eligible Daz+ members (which blocks the Daz+ coupon of course, which at the end of the month, you want to spend). Also orange banner can be hit or miss, sometimes you get them, sometimes you don't.

Keep in mind that sometimes people want to pick up assets as quickly as they can, for projects, etc. so posting all of the various flash sales is still valuable to some. After all, there are a number of people that follow this thread that may not have picked up say 10,000+ items from the Daz website yet, being newer shoppers, so the 'new normal' is all that they really know.

I've probably picked up less than a dozen '70% off flash sale' items since I started my 'Daz crack habit' a few years back, and almost never check that part of the Daz website, relying on my wishlist instead. But of course, those aren't supposed to be Daz+ coupon eligible, hence my lack of interest in the 70% off flash sale category/page.

But there are times I'll pick up an item for less than a 70% off discount, generally that corresponds with burning one of my monthly coupons, if those aren't locked out of a sale. And maybe rarely if there's something I need RIGHT NOW and don't have it handy...

I've never spent full price on anything over at the Daz3D.com website though, everything I've bought has been a sale item of some sort.

So to answer your question, yes it's valuable to post up various sales, unless they are really lame, say 50% off or less after discount stacking at Daz3D.com. Renderosity 50% off is a bit different, but then Renderosity generally doesn't discount stuff more than 70% off, with exceptions, so that's more notable, particularly if a vendor doesn't do sales very often.

This technically would be true at Daz3D.com as well, if some vendor that only does sales once in a blue moon, so in those cases it might be worthwhile to call out a 50% off sale at Daz3D.com IF it's featuring some vendor that doesn't go on sale very often.

And finally, as I said, there are some people here that are new to this game, and this thread is about everyone stretching their daz budgets as best we can within whatever sales constraints may be going on at the moment. If you need something NOW and don't mind paying a little more for it as opposed to waiting, knowing that it's on sale at all can be helpful.

This thread is about being helpful, not judging people for paying more for an item than others might have been willing to. We're just here to help!

My two cents!
;)

Edit: I realized that I should mention this. My point with my last post is to let people know that I'm not watching sales closely these days, being the cheapskate that I am. I have a lot of Daz stuff already, so my 'must have' list is pretty small these days. I'm still watching this thread of course, but I'm also personally not paying much attention to the Daz3D.com sales, or various other websites for that matter at the moment... essentially I'm not in a 'buying' mood, and wanted to communicate that for those wondering why I'm not posting up as much in this thread these days.

Buy-in is a stacks with Daz+ discount (giving you 83%), and the qualify​
o_O
Must... resist... criticizing... Daz sales... team... oh fuck it!


I don't think the Daz3D.com sales team truly understands what BoGo generally means... at least Renderosity gets it! Renderosity usually has the first item at 50% off along with the BoGo, although the 'Get one free' list is usually very small...
:p

But if there's something you need for 75/83% off, and there's a new release you have your eye on...

Please keep on keepin' on with the flash sale posts! They are generally helpful to a number of people following this thread!

I think, like their aversion to straight arithmentic (500*0.2 = 99.99) their interpretation of acronyms must stem from some fuzzy parallelish universe ... BoGo = Free = 75% :unsure: actually, re-reading it, they just say:

"But One Get One! at 75% off"

the Free is in our head - Pavlovian I think

Couple of things...

1) New batch of freebies over at Daz3D.com, but it's mostly texture add-ons and there's also a pose pack. It's all older stuff, but that's not that unusual.

2) In one of my last posts, I mentioned 70% off flash sale. I meant 70% off fast grab, I haven't looked at that Daz3D.com store section in months, since it's not coupon eligible. I do still see some of those items via other sort options, mostly when I sort my wishlist by % off. In any case, fast grab isn't the same thing as a flash sale, hence my clarification here.

Newer shoppers that don't mind 'just' 70% off should still at least check fast grabs every few days probably, as 70% off can be a better deal than what may be offered in a number of sales these days. Daz Deals sales history graph is your friend!

3) There are several Daz sales running concurrently right now, so there's a small possibiility for discount stacking across sales, but I haven't checked. If anyone spots this, feel free to call it out!

Do you suppose that part of the 'stinginess' on the part of the Daz sales team might be a need to pay whomever is including the background art for the latest flash sales? Flash sale banners used to be just text...

Carry on!

Those bloody Interns again!

The banners are definitely getting slicker, although there are at least two types of artists at it, old school (Wordy Post or Larger Word to Image Ratio ) and flashy youth (Concise wording and slicker imagery).

They did make some costly mistakes (for example, the "Everthing at $1.99" incident) in the last quarter so recouping that with carefully worded deals and distracting graphics may well be adding to the cost they need to recover.

So, yes, the new marketers may well be adding to the cost of sales and consequently squeezing the margins; although it's probably still the Interns getting better at photoshopping the banners with collages of the product promo images and the bean counters proactivelty vetting the deals.

Quick question, not really related...

Do any of you recognize this skin texture, specifically the nipples and light freckled skin? Also, if any of you have Cassidy for Teen Jane 8, if you would be so kind as to compare it with the skin texture as shown below?

The areolae are probably the biggest clue here, with the outer darker ring, etc.

I'm trying to recreate this model for fanart purposes, hence the question...

The body shape I think I more or less have (the developer in question loves to mix and match body shapes and textures), it's a discontinued one, , but the areolas don't match up color wise. Not saying the body is a 100% match (there could be a closer one) but it's close, the face structure looks pretty good with certain textures.

I did check your two suggestions already, again the areolas don't match. I've been hammering away at this for days now, checking a bunch of textures, no joy on the areolas, hence why I'm asking if anyone recognizes those luscious areolas...

And said developer is rather unhelpful, at least from what I gather in the FotM fanart thread, and does fun things like hide watermarks in initial higher tier game releases and pairs those up with unique URLs to discourage/punish early pirating...

Nothing that makes me want to buy anything at only 66% off. Some of the environments in there were 70% off just recently.

If you want a pirate ship I recommend this one:

and some other offers at 50% off
