Pubic hairs on Daz

I finally downloaded my CSV so that I could try this, but apparently I've bought 5500 products on Renderosity, since the CSV has 5500 rows, and that's a little too much manual hiding to be worth it. (I have no idea how this is possible, I thought my rendo purchases were like 10% as many as Daz.)

LibreOffice provides a 'copy down' function

Using this abridged example to make the Renderosity URL clickable:



in a new column (H in the image) add your formula to the top cell, e.g.

=HYPERLINK(G2)

with the cell selected double-click on the handle circled in the image, the cursor will change to a big + when on target



Result:



All your rows will now work as hyperlinks, in the example for the Renderosity product page and if you use amster22's formula the link will take you to the Daz page, if there is one.

Excel has a similar function, but can't for likes of my remember how to do it

Things are getting hotter at Daz and the site seems to become more and more NSFW.

First Lilflame/Valkyrie and a few occasional tits revealed in some promos
Then Tempesta, her pubes collection and her male promos that don't leave much to the imagination (first penis displayed at daz, I think)

One could think that showing some skin was considered by daz as a lesser evil in order to integrate new artists without rerendering all promos.

But no!!! This is the new daz policy. Daz new char "Cheyenne 9" has nude promos with the full monty. Nothing lewd, of course, but for an official daz char this is more than surprising.

What is the next step? Sex toys? Bondage furniture? Porn poses? Probably not tomorrow, but who knows...

I was thinking that there will be some changes at daz with the integration of rendo artists, but it exceeds my expectations.

I still hope that artists that always add sexy morphs to their outfits like lilflame, ChrisCox, etc, will have a good influence on their colleagues and that this will become the norm.

It's nice to see Kaleya finally at the Daz Store. But maaaaaan, why is there so little?

That wishlist sale + stacking with new PA item + any new item is pretty good, 90%+ off of bundles, without any tokens.

EDIT: Ah, the items in my cart are also stacking with that Cybernetic sale thing.

EDIT2: It helps that PAMAWO is the new artist, and his items are older so I have some in my wishlist, and he is in the cybernetic sale as well.

 

[glassware]

That wishlist sale + stacking with new PA item + any new item is pretty good, 90%+ off of bundles, without any tokens.

Just to be clear about the wishlist part, there's a 48-hour wishlist sale ending today that is 3 items or 5 items w/any new, AND there's a wishlist sale on 3 items w/ any item from PAMAWO or Kaleya (though you have to have added the items to your wishlist sale earlier), so the two wishlist sales stack if you wishlisted the items before 4/8. Plus whatever other bonuses you can line up.

 

[Schlongborn]

I stacked these to get to 90%+ on some stuff (all from my wish list of course):
+ 1 new PA item +50% on 3 wish list items (if its an older item by PAMAWO that you have on your wish list its also discounted, but also counts as 1 of the 3 wish list items)
+ 1 new release (like a Daz+ item) and WISH-GRANTED +50% on 5 wish list items
+ Cybernetic sale +60% (instead of only 40%) because of the new release item (only bought items from this flash sale to get the highest possible discount)
+ any tokens you have (you get double tokens today, and the WISH-GRANTED coupon can be used as often as you want, so you can buy some stuff, get a bunch of tokens, then repeat using the tokens to get an even higher discount)
- I didn't have any gift card money

I made a libre-office function to generate a link to daz store from the rendo csv.
What you need to do:
1/ open the ods file in the enclosed zip. This is a spreadsheet with only one cell set (I1).
2/ download the csv from your account at rendo and open it
3/ copy the I1 cell in table 1 and paste it to column I in your csv
4/ now you have at column I a link that will lead you directly to the daz product page (it it exists).
The link is based on the name of the product and the conversion seems to be robust enough. I have a big bunch of Lilflame products and all the links of transferred products where correct.
This way, tt is now possible to rapidly "hide this product from listings" by clicking on the product link.

Note 1: Should also work with excel and open office, but I have no way to test it.
Note 2: Depending of your spreadsheet config, you may have to "ctrl-click" to open the link
Note 3: Untested for Fabiana, wolfie (and the next is probably Lully that has emptied her products at rendo)

The function that I posted a few days ago to process rendo csv files was partly broken.
Basically, to create the daz link, so that you can hide already owned products, one needs to converts punctuation-like characters in the product name to a unique dash. And it happens that 3D-Arena had in the names of her products characters that were not considered by the conversion...

So here is a new corrected version that should be more robust, even if new migrating artists arrive with weirder chars in their product names.

=HYPERLINK(CONCATENATE("

You must be registered to see the links

";LOWER(REGEX(SUBSTITUTE(C1;"(s)";"-s");"[ -._/:!~^'#|&=?]+";"-";"g"))))

Paste it at line 1 in the column that your want, for instance i. Then copy it and paste it in the line where you want to create the potential daz link.

I also noticed some other situations where the converted link was incorrect. For instance, from time to time, daz adds a trailing dash to the link (probably to avoid duplicate links), but it is very rare and there is no way to generate it automatically.
Otherwise all the conversions that I tested were correct.

On Rendo

 

[amster22]

The deals at daz3D are rather good this weekend.
You get 10% as daz+. With a "welcome artist" buy-in (at 50%off), you get an extra 10%. And with a new release buy-in (at 55%off) you can get 40% off the "artists stores", that is a total of 51% off the artists stores.
In the artist stores, depending on the publication date, you get 65/70/75% off (the last 65% in the main page is a typo), and with the above discount, a final 83/85/88 %off
And off course, this will stack with DO discount, lightning deals, tokens, daz+ coupons, etc.

Don't forget to first buy a gift card with 10% off if you don't have any gift card money, there is no requisite and it adds another 10% on top of everything you buy.

Rendo finally addressed the Oliphaunts in the room.

The last eighteen months have been eventful here at Renderosity. Read on for a brief timeline. In Feb ’23 we released an updated version of the Renderosity marketplace. This marked the final phase of a two-year site modernization effort designed to improve the site and streamline future development work. Faced with unexpected staff turnover in summer ‘23, we decided to revitalize the business by hiring key new staff, updating business strategy and implementing new processes such as professional customer and vendor support. In Nov ’23 we implemented new Vendor Terms to ensure the long-term success of the Renderosity business. This created friction with some vendors who preferred the prior terms and that would set the stage for some vendors to migrate to competing sites in Apr ’24. While we hate to see vendors leave, we ultimately know that competition is a good thing. The alternative is a monopoly with one provider of software and digital content for the community. This doesn’t usually end well. So, on behalf of the Renderosity team, the best we can do is to ensure Renderosity is a healthy business and that we will be here for buyers and vendors when they need us in the future. We would like to sincerely thank everyone who has tolerated the dust and occasional growing pains as we have worked to improve the site over the last 18 months. It has been far from perfect and we’re working continuously to improve, but we greatly appreciate the opportunity to serve. Tim Choate President/CEO, Bondware, Inc. DBA Renderosity.com

My concern is that if Renderosity becomes less relevant, the Daz sales team will feel less pressure to pursue deeper discounts to get more of us to shop.

Hopefully RenderHub and other marketplaces continue to gain in popularity.

As for the Daz shopping experience, since the 'sort by wishlist' sort options disappeared for me, and since I have no interest in paying extra for Daz Deals Pro (nice service, but 'sort by wishlist' used to be a 'free' feature so its the principle of the thing) and since the Daz3D.com web guys have no interest in making 'sort by wishlist' default functionality, I just have pretty much given up on shopping atm. I have about 2000 items currently on my wishlist, including a number of 'inactive' products. I keep the 'inactive' stuff on my wishlist should a vendor decide to return at some point, which is unlikely but it is what it is.

I like Renderosity, but they really must have pissed off a few vendors with the change of terms. Not sure what percentage of sales Renderosity is asking for now, and how it relates to Daz3D.com's 'cut' of sales, as well as Render state, etc., but I do wonder.

I posted a javascript that shows a new checkbox to only show the wishlist items https://f95zone.to/threads/daz3d-whislist-filter-checkbox.205344/


The "Sort by whistlist" from Daz Deals just put the wishlist items first?

At rendo, 60%/70%prime off a set of 150 items till Friday

You must be registered to see the links

This kind of sale is somehow common at rendo, but they seem to have changed their policy (and not for the best). Non-prime users no longer have 70%, but only 60%. And a by-product is that none of these assets can be combined with coupons...
