    Be sure to check the featured stores in each banner sale, one is in multiple sales so you know what that means.

    I saw 3 PA featured stores in different sales but I don't know what that means.

    Stacking discounts

    If you meet the requirement for that sale (like if 2 from that page gets you an additional 20% (just making that up) and if that vendor is in another banner sale and you meet the requirements for that second page (say you buy 1 and get additional 10%) then that vendor will stack. Try DirtyFairy. Some go 70% or more. There's a lot of textures for bundle outfits, you may have the outfits but never got the textures.

    Oh, thanks. I'll have to remember that after I recover from my Edie 8 Pro Bundle spending spree.

    So, I'm having terrible luck with the trailer crashing out as soon as I add any figures. I had to step down to smaller resolution textures on the figures, but changing to a more detailed Terradome3 HDR started crashing it out immediately again. This is on an 8gb 1070 card... and it starts, it just crashes out as it goes along... 

    So I don't think it is exactly a memory problem.

    Just realized it might be that my drive with my temporary file was off. Pretty sure that explains why it was getting started and then dumping. Operator error. :)  

    But there is a lot going on with that trailer, and you can't just load an external view that I can see... I guess I could go through and delete things not in the shot... but just be aware if you're ineterested in it, it wants a lot of horsepower. Especially if you're going to be doing wide shots with lots of other things going on.

    Sometimes discounts compound when you satisfy the purchase requirements of multiple sales in a single cart, resulting in higher discounts than advertised for an individual sale.

    You sound like you'd be a great writer for the dictionary!

    @feralfey  A heads up. The Lawn Tool poses have an extra space in Genesis 8 Female so it's making a duplicate out in the main menu in Content Library where it says Genesis 8 Female. Yours is Genesis 8 (space space) Female. That needs to be fixed and updated so we don't have duplicate labels for main figures. 

    Thanks for letting me know. I'll get on it.

    Ha! I  wrote that on my phone, before I could see that other people had already answered the question sufficiently. I didn't see that there was already another whole page of responses in the thread. It does sound a bit pedantic, but when typing on a phone keyboard, you must be succinct.

  • NovicaNovica Posts: 23,887

    @feralfey   Thanks so much! They're handy poses (if I ever get my characters around to doing yardwork. They're as bad as I am LOL)

    So you can see this out of the box. Be aware the 50's Fabulous Morphing Chair  wasn't quite so fabulous out of the box with a man. To get his feet on the floor for a regular sitting pose, the chair would have to be raised. Some scaling here and there will address it, or extending the legs of the character so they're more in front of them. I'm checking now to see if there were chair legs morphs, back in a few.

    Edit: Okay, there's a cushion tall which will put them up a few inches. Wouldn't have been enough with just that option (you can always undo the parameter limits, but I think any more height than the parameter would look a bit funky.)  Style 5 makes the entire chair larger. There isn't an extending the chair legs option that I could find. They are not selectable for morphing, only for surfaces. 

    The chair does have a lot of fun shapes, and the seat morphs to indent. I think with the combination of Styles sliders and cushion morphs it is workable. Just be aware out of the box may need some tweaking for taller individuals. 

    FWSA Zander HD (Gen8M)  reminds me of Paulo Benedeti  when the facial hair is applied, except he doesn't have thick enough eyebrows (or facial hair, and it needs to be darker) with the option I used. 

    I really like Osher Hair (Gen 3M/ Gen8M) 

    BUG ALERT:

    Apparently, changing your mind about what material preset you want is not allowed either. When you change materials presets, it adds another set of geometry shells to the scene, parented to the chair. I ended up with a big mess of 8 geometry shells, as I tried different presets. Try applying preset 1 then 2 then 3, and then 4. 4 is supposed to be a shiny black chair. See what you get. Yuck. I didn't even let it render past 0%.

    Help request submitted.

    Yardwork?? you should see the mess stacked up on my patio and in my garage waiting on me to do something with it

    Well, that figures.  I didn't test the material presets for the chair because I was preoccupied with trying to find leg morphs for the stubby chair. Then decided I wouldn't be using it very often, if at all. Glad you caught it @barbult   and love your sense of humor, as always. ("Apparently changing your mind about what preset you want isn't allowed either.")

    This is the gallery image I finally made with it. I didn't have quite the same scaling issues you had. My pose was more reclined. In the end, I zoomed in and you can't see his feet anyway. Do you like his hairdo?

    Whoa! Fearing peace would poison her, some abstract modern saint. A painting, or a sculpture, or a culture of restraint. 

    ...as Deborah Harry sings in 'Inner City Spillover'. She's one of the better lyricists I think.

    I think I have the wittiest thread contributors on the entire planet. First Barbult, now @zombietaggerung   BTW, I really am curious as to how that forum member name came about. Is it something I just don't know about? 

    And yes, LOVE the hairdo. Watch some vendor make a product like that. You should go copyright it! 

  • NovicaNovica Posts: 23,887

    Barbult, I'm also wondering if his height had something to do with it. He appears quite tall to me. Perhaps yours wasn't as tall.

    Haha! Thank you! It's not a really terribly exciting story of my username, I really enjoyed the Redwall books by Brian Jaques when I was a kid, and I loved the name of one of the characters; an otter called Taggerung, but I didn't think i should just use the name as is, so I stuck zombie in front of it and voila! A username was born.

    I had to look him up because he sounds adorable. Aren't you cute! Not quite a zombie, but he'll do.

    Used to be one at Rendo, I think. Goldtassel, SWAM, or that other PA with a similar approach to hair.
