You're welcome.
@Novica, a huge, huge, thank you for posting the details of the offer! I’ve just been looking through everything I’ve bought and it’s an amazing deal for me. I would never have understood exactly what was on offer if it hadn’t been for your post. I’m getting to the stage where I don’t hit the buy button until I check this thread first!
@IceDragon I did wonder if you’d not realised that you could get the other two generations as well. It looks like you are going to be extra busy, lol.
I had not! I usually pay closer attention and also check here first but I just read it wrong. So your clarification really helped lol. Even if I never use most of the Girl8 stuff I still got a great deal. And some of it is useful.
@icedragonart Yeah, when you posted you were passing on the deal after I said get $195 of stuff free I was like, "WHAT??????" I had already gone to bed or I would have sent you a PM!
I'm also curious as to what people are seeing as the lowest price on The Girl because I'm seeing $50's mentioned and it was $42.32 and 69% off for me. (No PC+ coupon used.) I had 3 new releases from The Girl sale and the new releases went to 44%. I ended up getting mostly sexy stuff because I already had a lot of the previous generation stuff, but I approached it with an eye for kitbashing, thinking about just the tops, shoes, arm bands, gloves, jewelry. One that is unusual is Princess Zyanya (Gen2F) with the headpiece and arm/leg adornments. I'll post my cart in a few minutes, when there's big discounts I usually keep a duplicate tab with it just in case someone has questions.
And also don't forget @worldsedge also tried to motivate you folks too, posted right after me. :) I'm curious- what are the speeds for DIM downloads today, did they slow down?
So here's my sexy cart LOL. Most of the ones on the pages, I didn't get originally because I simply detest high heel shoes with woodland outfits and fighting outfights. I noticed that while vendors still do that, they have also increased the outfits which have more practical footwear too. It's nice to accomodate both needs. I went a couple dollars over the limit on two groups (Genesis 8 and 3) so that's why they aren't 100% off.
Remember too, some clothes can fit different generations (mixed results. Shoes, not so much.) So what did you folks pick up?

Just some quick notes, and this doesn't cover everything I bought.
High heels- Credence Outfit, War Lady (and can't use much of that one, the back is a thong!)
I like Nomad Wanderer with a top (skinz, whatever) put under it. Flat shoes, practical. Note Guardian for Genesis 2 doesn't have shoes. Woodlands Wanderer (Gen2) is very practical and not a sexy top approach (which makes it practical) and flat shoes.(The skirt is a different matter though LOL) As mentioned already, Princess Zyanya is unique, Trendy Fun (Gen3F) I like the boots and the top, very classy.
Wait, am I misunderstanding, you get 3 items and you get stacking from all 3 generations? That might put The Girl back in my basket.
Well even though I have the Girl 8 Pro Bundle & a lot more than 3 add-ons in my cart for the Girl 8 Pro Bundle I get a price of $52.90 for the Girl 8 Pro Bundle. Which I think is OK, not as good as Edie & I don't like the Pro Bundle as good as Edie but the add-ons characters for Girl 8 are like wow, those are gonna be must-haves for me.
For comparison, the only 2 bundles I have bought are Lucas 8 Pro Bundle at $33.68 for some reason. I think it was the Christmas sale so no complaint there even though I was like Edward 8, Floyd 8, and Ollie 8 better later on.
My other pro bundle is Edie 8 Pro Bundle which I seem to remember came in at $46 or $48 and change with the required 2 add-ons it came to about $56 and change. I have no 'exclusive offers' regarding Girl 8 because I haven't bought enough Genesis 8 Pro Bundles.
I can see myself buying many of these missed pro bundles during fall and winter when gardening season & house DIY is over but not now as tempting as it is...
@donovancolbert You don't get stacking, you get $30 of Gen8 FREE, $65 of Gen3 FREE, and $100 of Gen2 FREE when you buy 3 of the Girl 8 Add-Ons and the Pro Bundle. $195 FREE. If you go over the amount (Say if I got $103 of Generation 8, for example) then that extra $3 gets distributed among the Generation 8 items. That's why some of mine aren't free (but they're piddly.)
DIM is sloooowww today. Last night, I got everything downloaded lickety split. This morning, I'm trying to download to the external drive for my laptop, and the speed is a crazy 29 kb. Downloads are timing out too.
My Purhase
Yeah, that is what I meant by stacking. I misunderestimaticated this deal. I've now corrected that, and I'm $70 less in store credit that I started out with and a proud owner of The Girl 8 Pro bundle - and a lot of other stuff I actually wanted.
I applied the coupon, PC+ $6, and only got $4 off. Now I've got to figure out if it is worth opening a ticket to get the $2 back in store credit or give it to DAZ as a tip.
My cart today although I did have 3 fastgrab items that were wishlisted as well...
You might want to remove that receipt or it contains your private email address you use to shop at DAZ 3D.
DIM downloaded the new DIM version, new Hexagon 64bit beta & Hexagon content pretty quickly this morning for me but that my speed always tops at no higher than 475k
Wait, WHAT? There's a 64 bit hexagon?!?!?!
Untamed Warrior for Genesis 3 Female(s) VYK Patty for The Girl 8 Lana Hair (Gen3F)
Dramatic Iray Lights from OOT are the lights from OUR right side and backside.
Obviously, this is not Patty out of the box. This outfit fits really well from Genesis 3 to Genesis 8 and is in the sale items! Wanted to start this post in case other people haven't checked out yet. Still working on the render but the outfit is autofitted great except for the front flap, that section pokes through.
TIP: to get a more normal chest on The Girl 8 figures, with some downward slope and to avoid the huge fake implant look:
In Parameters>Actor, select chest (with your Patty or character selected in the Scene pane)
You need to click the cog and undo the limits on each morph. The cog is to the right and above the end of the slider.
For Breasts Natural, -110% To drop the breasts down and get rid of the hard as rock chest.
For Breast Downslope (so you get a nice curve downward and eliminate the hard round contour) 220%
Use Breast Gone to get the breasts FLATTER, and Breast Small to reduce them overall.
Areolae Perk on Patty reduced to 0, but some is fine.
So here's the adjusted natural-looking chest. Gallery image is here.
Yep, start DIM & a new version will be propmted for, say OK to the update & DIM will restart and then you'll see Hexagon in the list - 32 bit, 64 bit, & content.
By the way, I made a new Lost in Space render but the guy that made B-9 & Jupiter 2 hasn't answered yet if I can make them DAZ props (that i've done already) & distribute them on shareCG with a link to his original models.
Too late. I've already sent it to thousands of sleezy gas stations all over the United States so they can graffiti it on the women's bathroom stalls. "For a good time, email Robert!"
LMAO! I spewed my coffee!
Here is my receipt. Dunno if it is readable. $529.95 for $70.39
Oh, that's why there's a "Install Manager" sitting at the top of my product library. Well hopefully whatever the Hexagon content is will eventually available for non-DIM users.
My purchase
Thanks I edited the post
DIM did update for me today so I will have to take a look at my download filters and look for hexagon.
Cool that you did a new LIS render hopefully the original author will respond and give permission to distribute what you have.
Ah man... my DIM updated today too, and I forgot to check to see if it started downloading to my C: drive again. I hate that it does that.
Thank you for this @Novica, I've been trying to get a top to fit.
@mollytabby You'll really see how natural the chest looks once I get the render done. I did speak prematurely on the outfit fitting perfectly, and am annoyed the viewport render doesn't match the actual render. Still haven't figured out why that does it occasionally. And I forgot when autofit (or was it a product that does clothes conversions, can't remember what popped up) is used, the morphs to fix the clothing don't. So I can't fix the front panel on the bottoms that has pokethrough.
It's a beta, so DIM only for now. Once it's out of beta there will be standalone installers.
And 64 bits version is Windows only for the moment, they're still working on the Mac version.
