I love the Leaf50, I mentioned before that I went totally off cable television and use Roku (and PlaystationVue, and you don't have to have a Playstation. It's 35.00 a month) and I use the Leaf50 for live tv too. It's a thin, white square about the size of a notebook piece of paper, and it can get you HD television. It's amazingly good reception, even in thunderstorms I get perfect tv, and most stations are about 40 miles away in Mobile Alabama! (There's an Ultra Roku/Leaf50 bundle at Best Buy)
Edit: If you get it, the next trip before you go, check the Leaf 50 or any antenna site that lists local locations of towers- you can type in the city where you are at, and they will tell you which way to point the antenna based on where the stations are!
Be sure and check for a Daz Cash Orange Banner. I don't know upon reading it again if the items have to be $15 (DO's only) or the TOTAL of the DO's has to be $15. EDIT: Tested it, the item itself has to be $15 or more.
Check out Olenna Hair. ($16.07) Since the code can be used five times, obviously doing one item at a time is the smart thing to do for the most money off one item. (It comes off the CART total, not the items.) So the Olenna Hair drops to $8.07. (Lowest it has been- it was that price July 12th and it is 65% off.)
One $15 DO item triggers an $8 off discount off the total purchases. If you have only one item, it takes the $8 off that one item. If you have other items, it spreads the $8 savings. I believe it is the same end result.
Purchase each $15 or more item separately, up to five times. If you have two $15 items in the cart, you will still only get $8 off the total, otherwise, and miss out on the additional $8 saving.
I tested it, and then the wording made more sense. The item sale price has to be at least $15, and that's after your discount if you're a PC+ member, Multiple items to bring the cart to $15 or more will not work.
So basically it's like one 15 dollar item a little more than 50 percent off. I'm not wasting my time on that deal.
Yes, but it depends if the item is already discounted. If an item is 30% off, you get 65% off if the price is around $15 (Like the hair I got.) What I've been busy doing is checking each of the scrolling sections for us, to see if there were any Daz Originals in those, where getting a new release in those sections would trigger a discount but still keep the DO above $15, and I didn't find any. I tried, folks!
I did test prices, chose a 20.97 by Merlin (who I adore) and that is Immortal Crypt It's at 30% but that is still $20.97. The lowest it's been is $14.98 on the 10th (but then again, the app won't show us how low it can go if it's in a featured section, that $14.98 is just the starting point. If something could be bought that would drop it another 10%, for example) So to save you the time on figuring that price/discount The $20.97 ones end up discounting 57%. Just FYI.
So testing an $18.87 and that goes to $10.87 or 60% off. That's decent. DM's Hidden Chamber if you want a set. (Nice props.)
Has anyone rendered this one? How about our Sci-Fi pro @serenenight have you tried this one?
It's another $15.37 at 30% off, so would be 66% off at $7.37. Sci-Fi Lieutenant Outfit I like the different materials (not the high heels, but the boots themselves are cute and maybe something flat can be substituted.) EDIT: I'm buying it, what the heck.
oh dear. The item itself has to be $15+, not the cart? Don't think I'm that excited about the banner now. Also, no new releases. And it obviously is no good for PC items even tho they are not excluded, because no PC item is over $15 :sigh:
If it helps anyone, this is filtered No new DO's and no PC items: https://www.daz3d.com/daz-originals#index=0&filter_new=0&filter_platClub=0&filtered=1
I don't have the set, although it makes an interesting catsuit. I will be interested to see how it turns out if you render it.
I am not buying anymore genesis 3 female content- I don't like the autofit to genesis 8... I'm really holding out for genesis 8 male. =-)
A fun poke at our friend @rgcincy Read the post here.
Don't forget about the Half A Million Views contest going on this month!
A few of the products- Selma for Genesis 3 Female(s) was the Freja Fast Grab I pointed out. She's on the right wearing Impulse Suit For Genesis 3 Female(s) that I just bought, is in the swimsuit sale. Also with the Daz Cash banner, I mentioned Olenna Hair for Genesis 3 Female(s), and she's wearing it. (It's 65% off.)
Shayla on the left is Rendo, wearing Nathy Swimsuit and Christina Hair. (featured many times.)
The pool items are from Poolside, the food and blanket is Picnic Basket, and the palms are from The Pool House. There's also Beach Volleyball Set.
As I discussed on the cash thread-
The app by Ati showing the price graph is really neat, but it can't show you what the prices really dropped down to if you did the required action (buy a new release and get 10% more off.) So by making a note in the comments in your wishlist, such as 1NR 10% $8.50 (buy 1 New Release, 10% more off, goes to $8.50) you'd know what the real deal price has been at its lowest. I know I test the cart, so it's calculated already for me. My problem is remembering to do it, so now I'm really picky as to what gets wishlisted. Going to dump a lot of it out of there.
I have to agree with Serene Night on both counts:
There are some good deals to be had with the coupon and current sales. Takes a little creativity, but it's there. PM me if needed.
Yeah, that was an interesting PM. Take her up on it.
Hey, I need a backup tester on Cathy Hair. If you have the current version, will you try it? Nothing happens for me, and I found a thread back in March stating some of the OOT stuff doesn't work in the current version. And if not, why haven't they fixed it? I'm going to test it again, I'm wondering if I missed a step.
It's working fine for me, I missed a step twice (the Apply First- I assumed that was just a note until I saw it was a duf. I remembered I did that the last time too. ) So I put a note on the other thread too that 4.9 doesn't have any problems with it. I wish people would go back in and mark those suckers SOLVED.
LOL! I'm ready. Thanks for the poke Novica
My pleasure.
Okay, this has been posted so might as well relay it. Using a PC+ (or any new release, but you can just go cheap and do the PC+) you can buy a new release, go to the M4/V4 sale and select Daz Originals as the vendor, grab anything over 15.00 then drop the price 70% due to the new release. Now use your Daz Cash. Thanks to a little birdie for relaying that (and I don't personally think it's a glitch, they need to move that older content along) BTW, if you ever wonder if it's too good to be true, I'd simply PM people and not post it.
Speaking of which, to do group PMs, do you put the semi colon between names?
I wasn't going to get any more of the V4 folks, but this is two for one and these facial morphs would look so good on Genesis 3 (I actually like the materials too.) Take a peek at Nala and Nia for $5.38 (70% off) with a new release (PC+ is cheap, I did Aaron Hair) in your cart. The Hair and these came to $8.88 for all of them and 77% overall for the cart. Just what I need, more GenX2ing.
The Daz Cash ends in five minutes, it expires on the 13th. I went ahead and used it on Relentless Mercenary Outfit and Knight Winds Outfit.
I'm happy to contradict you...
...
That's Sunday night, one minute before midngiht, Daz Time. We've got another 24 hours-ish.
Yeah, I just noticed that when you posted. Beat me to it. I was going to buy those two things anyway, there wasn't anything else I wanted (looked at sets first, already got the ones I mentioned.) That's what I get for trying to type up a review and look at banners at the same time LOL.
X-Fashion Crochet Swimsuit was the swimsuit I mentioned back on August 10th that was stacking or something, got it for $3.83 It looks good from the front (that part between the legs is a LOT thinner than I prefer, but for a beach scene, can use this in the background on a figure.) Note the side also has a small draw/pucker on the down-the-side seam. It doesn't show in the promos. I like the pulls in the material, adds realism, just not that one.
This is Cathy Hair and OOT Hairblending 2.0 (red hair, brown stripes mixed in, strength was third highest) I should have laid the hair down on the chest and got that strand out of the stap, but I forgot, sorry. I want to go ahead and render more things for you so going to move on. Our lovely gal is Hinkypunk's and Vyktorhia's HPVYK Marcela andthat is Smile Delight smile number 19 at 57.1%, Eyes Squint 21.4%, and Eyes Closed 20.4% Test shutting the eyes a tad when your character smiles, or for some of those other expressions- to avoid the deer in the headlight or glazed looks. (Edit- Marcela's skin is not quite that shiny, I added more reflectivity, lowered bump, etc)
This is also Mitchell filter (as was the volleyball on the beach render.
Okay, I don't see why anyone would want to leave this place: https://www.daz3d.com/cozy-reading-nook, but it'd be nice to have the option. After all, you're going to run out of books to read at some point...
Thats a well done nook but that couch looks kind of uncomfy. I'm not sure how I would rest comfortably on that love seat.
I actually like it- looks firm. LOL, I guess to get out of that room, you have to read that book that says the desert will take you home (yep it's a title in the room.)
What I don't like- how about a classroom with no chalk or erasers for the black board? (Edit- looks like an eraser is on the chalkboard sill, but there's still no chalk. No eraser is listed in the props though.)
That isn't a white board / eraser board. It's a chalkboard. And in the promo- I had to laugh- she's pointing at a blank chalkboard, because of course, she doesn't HAVE any chalk. @notilize how about some chalk, and is an eraser already included? May want to update the description if it is included.
Otherwise, love the attention to details. Your desk/chairs look amazing!
LOL, and who is the guy in the black hoodie? Perhaps he's a bank robber who ducked into the classroom to avoid the cops?
It does look as if there's something white (a piece of chalk?) to the right of the eraser in one of the promos...
But now you have me looking critically at it, and it also looks like all students are lefthanders, looking at the placement of notebook and pencil (kudos for including them though), and is that under chair rack not going to cause a lot of bruises to legs? Once the students work out not to cross their legs under the chair, it should be great for circulation and posture, though
Yes, it does, doesn't it? Maybe they'll update the list of props, as that's certainly just as important as pencils. Edit- no, I think they're righthanded because of the shape of the desk, that longer piece is on the right, to support the length of the arm when they're writing. Trying to remember my high school desk.
