A simple way to access the readmes without the add-on:
URL for readmes uses this format: http://docs.daz3d.com/doku.php/public/read_me/index/<SKU>/start
(for example http://docs.daz3d.com/doku.php/public/read_me/index/103048/start for the new Stonemason's set)
So you can bookmark the readme for any product to have an example saved, then when you want to access the one for another product you simply use that bookmark then change the product SKU in the URL.
@Wonderland I hope your foot gets better soon. That sounds painful!
I usually get the doc link near the top if I search for Product + Daz. Search engine doesn't seem to matter, like Google vs. Duck Duck Go
Just used my 8 tokens, DAZ DO coupon and that is it ... not a bad haul. I think it was 95% discount.
Subtotal$520.77
Discount-$496.34
Tax$1.35
Store Credit-$0.00
Grand Total$25.78
I've spent a lot in the last month, a lot of products, so that's going to have to be it. We'll see if there is a GT item that just can't be passed on, and perhaps DAZ+ sale if its better than the last few, otherwise it render time. How long can I go without buying?
You know, there's always another sale.
Glad you found some great deals at a reasonable price. I'm with you; I'm going to stop buying and start rendering. Happy shopping everyone!
It was a crazy sale, I bought so many things, some of which didn’t even appear in the smart menu, that I completely forgot I ever bought such things...
Daz really have to fix this, these artworks are forgotten in corners with no chance of rendering, well...it's definitely not my fault
By the way, when does this sale end? Is this the biggest sale of the year?
Ostensibly end of month, can vary. Definitely not biggest sale of the year, but usually a pretty good sale especially for PA items.
Still using Genesis 8 for just about everything, but there's no way I'm going to pass up Wet and Tanned Skins for Genesis 9 at that price. I doubt it will ever be 90% off ever again.
Isn’t this the best sale yet!? Well, luckily there are still over a thousand items on the wish list ,I need to do some rendering to calm down.
There are several big sales throughout the year.
March Madness (March)
DAZ+ Summer Sale (June)
PA Sale (September)
DAZ+ Anniverary Sale (October)
Holiday Sale (December)
The rating of which one is biggest varies from year to year depending on the how each sale is conducted. However, I personally think the December Holiday Sale is often the best.
Yes, render and calm down
This year, March Madness finally lived up to its name for me. That was the biggest for me with the St Patty's day promo and into Easter. So far, I'm not really into this sale. I'm sure I'll get some stuff before its over, but the lack of a really good GC sale has put a damper on all of it for me. We've had GC sales. They just haven't been exciting enough for me to really break out my wallet. YMMV. Daz+ is usually noteworthy, no guarantees. Holiday sales extravaganza is usually a Very Big Deal, a blob of sales that run into and over each other culminating usually with a wild end of year party. I doubt we'll be disappointed. Just gotta be a little patient.
pretty much everything I've purchased this sale has been over 80%, many close to 90. I can't complain. This GT items are pretty decent. I've skipped a few but overall they're good. Today's is a buy for sure.
See, it didn;t take me long to break my no buy - 1 whole day. I'm lost
...ended up using both of my Daz+ coupons before the first week of the month was over. That's a rare occurrence.
Thankfully Stonemason was featured early in this event when I still had money.
Same.
Though it helps that these sales aren't all coupon-based. That's held me off using mine on a number of occasions.
This time I had a bit of a shopping spree last Monday, and it made the most sense to do two carts. Used both coupons that day, and combined with the 30-off-30, the sales on that day, the GT item, tokens, and a bunch of store credit I have left from a previous gift card sale, everything was at least 90% off, and I had a bunch in the 96-98% range. Best of all, I knocked off an *enormous* chunk of the priority items off my wishlist. (I was also weak and bought a bunch of random G9 characters because with all the stacked discounts they were running 80-90 cents each.)
It's weird. I'm actually scrolling through my WL now and going "eh, meh" to most of it. It's all pretty much either placeholders for pretty things I may never have a use for but don't want to have to find again, or on there in case there's another special like the Pot o Gold, or the holiday freebies. Better some stuff that I have a passing fancy in than a bunch of physics-defying "armor" again.
Hopefully, sometime next week we'll be greeted one morning with a lovely Gift Card discount opportunity. I have LOTS more to buy in this sale, but very close to zero on the store credit and I need to avoid all those extra nasty credit card charges for every cart! Come on, Daz. Do the right thing ;)
Does anyone know how hardware-demanding those UltraScenery products are? I've been "flirting" with them for a long time, but I always refrain from buying them because I'm afraid my machine won't be able to handle them or, if it does, it will be too slow (32 GB RAM and an NVIDIA RTX 3060 with 12 GB VRAM).
I've only got a 3050 8GB, and it handles UltraScenery just fine.
Thanks! UltraScenery 1 or 2? Is the 2 more demanding?
I have both of them, and all the add-ons. I think 2 is maybe a little less demanding. It seems to load a bit faster. But they both work great.
Thanks. And those add-ons made for US1 work on US2, right? And there's also this USXT that's for terrain, so, even if I buy only US2, it would be good to have it too, isn't it? That's also one of the things that made me hesitate to buy UltraScenery... It's not just buying the product... You have to buy at least some packages, if not many, to make it worth...
Yes, the add-ons work in US2. You load them in as legacy content on the US2 tab. The new product from today adds the information to use the Australia set as normal US2 content. And yeah, there is a lot to buy if you want everything. Just get what you really like the most. The Pacific Northwest set and the Britain set are particularly nice, IMO.
I do have the USXT products, but I don't use them anywhere near as much. It just puts mountains in the background of your render. Nice to have, but not necessary.
In regards to US in general... from my (limited) experience, it seems to be really great if you want "random scene containing Thing X" as long as you're not super wedded to the overall topography. If you have some very specific ideas about how you want the hills and valleys and such to go, you're going to need to [fiddle] around with height maps A LOT.
This is not said as discouragement, but I wish I'd grasped it better when I went into the whole thing. I had some unrealistic expectations, and I'd like to save others the same frustration.
When folks say "it works fine," what are we talking about in terms of render time? Minutes, hours or days?
If you have an NVIDIA GPU, minutes. The one I posted here, with all the bikes, rendered to 98% convergence in less than 8 minutes on an RTX 3080 and used less than 7 GB of GPU memory. It looked good enough to have quit at about 2 minutes, but I let it go to completion.
Very nice work there
Thank you, Robert.
Good to know. Thanks. And the render does look good.
