I'm still with 5 stackers. Are you guys also with the default or did it increase? :unsure:
Seems fine my end, 5 for Daz+ 1 for yesterday and 1 for today ... there was a mention of latency in the update on their forums, I didn't pay attention until just now [EDIT] That does not mean it isn't SNAFU though ... [/EDIT]

[EDIT2]
Also just noticed, they have put expiry dates on the Premier and Daz+ Freebies[/EDIT2]

Earlier today was still 5 even after today's freebie. It's updated now. Whew.

sigh who really oversees these promo rollouts/planning , the 25 years lackluster AF compared to the golden ticket promo(yeah yall gonna say it just started...no it is finished because shit's dead). And this stack BS -_- breh daz love the unnecessary arithmetic gamification. And why pots...so many questions ... btw anyone into web novels Fedora & Melody look really good esp with the thick outlines (idk if it's standard not interested in the toon chars)

I guess that I'm not the only one that is underwhelmed by the sales this week...

It'd be cool if Daz3D.com did a 25% off gift card sale for their 25th Anniversary, but yeah that's probably not happening anytime soon. Still hoping though...
:p

I don't know if it's the right thread but I have some problems with Licence Plates... Well, I downloaded a Blender file for custom (european) licence plates and can render it pretty well in Blender :

I exported it in .fbx :

But after importing it in Daz Studio I have that in rendering view :

It seems to be a lights problem. Looked in the Surfaces :

What could it be ?

Edit : I modified the Glossiness to 10%, I now vaguely see the starts (reflexion 5%) but not the other letters or colors (I don't have metallic layers or options)

Edit 2 : I somehow approximatively found a solution. Had to modify some colors but the result isn't perfect :

Looks like the diffuse color for most of the license plate has defaulted to white. Try changing the diffuse colors for each texture group to more closely match what you see in your blender image.

And yes, this probably isn't the right thread for this, but hopefully this helps!

I suggest looking into car paint shaders for the different texture groups for your license plate, preferably the Iray ones if you are using Daz Iray. 3Delight/Diffuse colors will still show in Iray and often look OK, but the Iray ones may look a tiny bit better, and also might help with the math overhead a tiny bit.



Mainly for the metallicity and glossiness effects that you often see on car license plates. With the basic colors anyways, you probably aren't looking for pearlescent shaders for such things.

OK, quick note:

This doorbuster (from Fashionista3D):


Noting that the discount on this 'buy-in' item will vary depending on how diligently you've been collecting stacker freebies. I'm seeing 60% off, 55% + 5% (10% off cart, Daz math as a Daz+ member):

Will net you 10% off your cart (excludes memberships). Tried a gift card with this item and... 10% off gift card! Tokens (if you have some to burn) will help reduce the price of this buy-in, yay!

So, pretty lame deal on gift cards, but if your store credit is wiped out, it's better than nothing, say if you are willing to invest $100-$200 or so in said gift card to offset the 'buy in' while waiting for a better deal.

Note that the rest of Fashionista3D's store is NOT on sale today, so the doorbuster (which is for G8/8.1/9 at least and kinda sexy) is your best option if you want the extra 10% off your cart.

The Member Festival bundles are annoying me 'cuz they are G9 focused, and I'm not interested in investing in a bunch of G9 head/body morphs, after having collected a bunch of G1/2/3/8 morphs, but for those of you looking for G9, I suppose. I miss the 'Daz+ for a day' deals of yesteryear. The 'better than Daz+' items haven't wowed me, but of course YMMV, particularly if you are on the G9 bandwagon.

As per usual, the $2.99 minimum is watering down the '80% off with doorbuster' deals (so less than 80% off on lower priced items) but at least the extra 10% off cart helps here.

#metoo

Not for the same reasons though, I already had all the items in each of the bundles except for one in each ... which I avoided when they were first offered up as Daz+ items ... But I am a sucker for bundles, so at roughly $0.66 per bundle I can now start an Exoplanetary Zoo ... and who knows, in my fantasy dream life I envision that collecting them all will be rewarded by a worthwhile freebie mega-bundle at the end of this lacklustre 25th Anniversary month ...
