The Daz Studio and Related Product Deals Thread (Daz3D, Renderosity, Renderotica, etc.)

OK, so there's been a change at Daz3D.com. The product listings used to have a % off shown, that apparently has been replaced by 'you save $x'

Looks like % off is still there, but it's in the upper left corner of the thumbnails now, below the 'new' button.

Goddamn annoying if you ask me!

Are you a paid subscriber (Pro subscriber, I think, is the term they use) of the Daz Deals extension by any chance? I may be mistaken (please, someone who knows better correct me if I'm talking out of my butt), but I believe that the %off sort order is there only for subscribers of the Daz Deals extension or at the very least you need the extension installed on your browser for the % sort order to appear.

I'm a Pro sub of that extension, BTW. But I seriously doubt that I will renew my sub once it ends. And not only because I am spending a lot less now on the Daz store, but also because precisely the %off sort order introduced by the extension stopped working for me (Windows 11 Pro, Microsoft Edge) few months ago. I have Firefox installed as well, but since it has the Noscript extension installed, I rely on the 'simplicity' of Edge more when it comes to make purchases online. Nothing worse and that gets on my nerves more than having an order not fully processed because of having Noscript blocking something that should not be blocked.

Hey. I just did my daily visit to the Daz Store and now I think that I misunderstood you. I thought you were speaking of the %off sorting order for product listings, which I believe is an exclusive feature of the Daz Deals extension. But now I see that you were referring to the products' thumbnails, right? Sorry about the confusion.

I liked seeing the % off as opposed to the 'you save' but my biggest gripe with it was that it was always rounded up, it was like a lure to entice you into believing you got more than you actually did; from a trading standards point of view it was false advertising, and it could be argued that Daz was skimming the difference and profiteering by it.

The 'you save' is much more honest, for a change, though it exerts my failing arithmetical skills as I prefer to work against a % discount ... and it fucks up my spreadsheet ...

[Edit]
Yes, the % Off is still there as an overlay on the product thumbnail; it didn't register with me until I re-read OhWee's post and revisited the listing ... habitually, I look for the pricing detail in the info footer of the product listing, my simple brain doesn't do well when trying to collate info in unrelated and different colours or sizes ... this old dog is going to need to learnt new tricks ...

Much harder to see at first glance what is a good discount, which is the point I assume.

In the cart it still shows the percentage though, maybe because of the Daz Deals addon.

EDIT: Oh right, it's still on the thumbnail. Well, I guess I don't mind it that much then, still, kind off annoying it is moved somewhere else, but it's survivable.

Time for another Unreal Bundle. This one has a lot of assets from previous ones, so there was a lot of overlap with stuff I already had. But there were still enough new items so that I felt like it is worth the money.

It contains a lot of stuff, with varying degrees of usefulness imho, like will I ever use those sound packs? Probably not.

I can't really tell if this one was the largest ever so far, but when adding those serial numbers one by one into the Epic Games Launcher this one felt like it took forever. So that means it's pretty large.

And some artist stores with a higher discount

(25% off is not so much, but storewide sales are rather rare at renderotica.)

 

[OhWee]

There's another extra 20% off if you spend $25 or more coupon over at Renderosity in my notifications, valid until Thursday 11:59PM Tennessee USA time. I'm guessing most of you will have received the same notification.

More importantly, there's

Redhead, suitcase and chair not included. Yay undress morphs!

I'm also seeing an extra 20% off debut new releases coupon since I own Daz Horse 3 stuff, if I buy 2 or more items, butr of course it looks like most of today's debut new mix is 20% more expensive or more which offsets this, well except for the funky XMas earrings... One debut new clothing item is particularly expensive!

Which of course continues to coupon block my Daz+ coupons... ahh well. Rest of the sale appears to be more of the same. A new batch of 'regular' mid-month freebies dropped yesterday, and of course there's the Daz+ freebie...

So yeah, more of the usual!

 

[SvenVlad]

Except for the daily freebies or the 2.99 products , the sale so far has been very weak. I hope they'll make some actual discounts on Christmas Eve.

Also, my Daz+ is nearly ending.

You have a big question on the immediate horizon then... Premier or not Premier...

I'm not Premier because of the principle of the thing (massively devaluing my Daz+ membership with an insulting upgrade offer), but you will soon have no such constraints, if that was an issue for you. If you can get a free month of Premier now by upgrading (i.e. if there's still an upgrade offer), it might be a thought. But then Premier is opt-out, so you'd be stuck with the $20/month commitment until you opt out.

I absolutely hate subscription models, memberships are borderline for me, but what's important here is how much more Daz stuff are you planning to buy at Daz3d.com. If it's a significant amount then yeah, well that's your call to make.

I don't think I'll go Premier. I hated this shit. Massive downgrade from the yearly sub.
My Daz+ ends this month and right now, I have an offer of almost 50% discount for the Premier, but I think it might be for the remaining time, Idk. I'll continue with the Daz+ for now because of the Holiday Sale and after that, we'll see. But I'm certainly not gonna sub every month, specially with the dollar skyrocketing like crazy the last few days in my country.

Today's Renderosity XMas freebies include not one, but two hotties! And two other things...

You must be registered to see the links

Also, 65% off if prime sale... around 2400 items in the mix, and there's a 20% off $25 or more coupon notification in my messages, good through tomorrow!

And other sales of course!

As for the Daz3D.com sale... meh... Bone doctor for ancient horse poses (that I don't own), really? And a 10% off gift cards w/debut new. More meh...

 

[OhWee]

Also, random musing...

A bunch of Vanishing Point's Daz Studio products were briefly offered at Daz3D.com. The Poser versions are still available at Daz3D.com, but it looks like the Daz Studio versions are available on Renderosity. Like this plane (similar to the one seen in Godzilla Minus One)

Poser Version here:

Now, call me crazy, but wouldn't it have made more sense to offer the DS versions on the Daz3D.com website, and the Poser versions on the Renderosity website, since Renderosity owns Poser now?

Things that make you go hmmm...

 

[OhWee]

OK, so today's sale at Daz3D.com has a couple of interesting things going on.

Extra 20% off your order if the value of your cart is over $100. Not quite sure how this is evaluated, but I'm looking at an approximately $60 cart (after discounts) with over $400 retail (undiscounted) value of items, before tokens. Am about to experiiment with tokens...

It says gift cards do not count towards the total, not sure if the extra 20% off applies to gift cards otherwise, haven't checked this yet.

There are a couple of other interesting sub-sales:
70% off select items (before discount stacking) w/Debut New Release
Extra 40% off select Daz Horse 3 Items w/Debut New Release

And a bunch of artist stores are part of today's sale, say if you are looking at the 65% off/75% off legacy items w/Debut New.

So yeah, might be worth playing cart jenga today... ymmv.

didn't check if the GC counted towards the total, but it definitely did not get the discount ...

So yeah, might be worth playing cart jenga today

Yes, quite a good haul today, even the 50percenters reached quite a decent level of discount with the Holiday rewards, tokens, vendor specific 20%, bla, bla ... But took a while to optimise my cart though, Daz do like to make you work for your discounts ...

 

[OhWee]

60% off before discount stacking might not be the best deal, but at the very least it might pay to wishlist these for later if they interest you and you don't have them already... btw, FenixPhoenix's store gets an extra 20% off today.

'Cuz, you know, nipples!

 

[OhWee]

Quick followup...

I managed to get the extra 20% discount for '$100 in value' of items, cart is sitting around $25 with 8 tokens and all DO's except for the Debut New, after finding a 'threshold' where the Debut New dropped in price. Then tried adding a $500 gift card, no discount on the gift card.

So apparently no gift card discount for today's sale, ahh well!
