You can hide the pipes easily:

Edit: sorry, I stopped reading after Steampunk and my brain didn't register the 'or Eastern' part… Hiding the pipes won't solve that.
Easy to go overboard today... Current cart 28 items for $51.65 at 94% off (with 8 tokens and the 6off18 coupon)
I've got the Kala 9 HD bundle in LD's for under $10. I have Kala 8 and like her aesthetic a little better, but the Kala 9 HD Bundle has some nice clothes for G9.

@PerttiA Sounds like you have some nice deals. Easy to go overboard indeed.
Kala 9 looks awesome, but I think I'll give it a pass this time. I was just thinking I'd want the texture sets to the outfits, and all of a sudden I'm buying a lot more than just the bundle.
Those should make a beautiful render.
@barbult Thanks, I hope so It would give me practice using environments, because so far most of my renders have a 2D background.
As far as Indian characters, I love Pix Prisha for Gen 8 Female even more than Kala 8. Some people have done lovely renders of Pix Prisha in the galleries. I may re-do my portrait with a better outfit for her.

Also, a heads up that this is on sale. I can't speak to how well it works, since I've never tried it, but apparently it allows Gen 9 clothes to be worn by previous generations.

OMG, yes. I deal with that 'I don't really need this' until I very much do, ALL THE TIME. But this Stonemason set is definitely something I need. I do both Eastern AND Steampunk. I didn't even look at the promo shots before it went into my cart. Stonemason for $3? **** YES!
This sale is beating up my wallet big time. Not complaining at the insane deals I've been putting together on stuff I actually want, but yikes. September will be expensive if it keeps going like it has. I'm excited each morning to see what's new and on sale, but my bank account is cowering in fear.
its pretty rare to find a Stonemason product for $3, that's for sure. I was a little wondering about the steampunk aspect, which appears to just add a bunch of pipes to Eastern style buildings, but turning them off is that simple as stated above, yeah, its a great deal. I got spendy yesterday, well not that much, but it gave me 8 tokens. 2nd time I've had that many since this token gig started. Now what's on sale? I'm on it. Guess I have 4 days or so.
BTW, there's always another sale.
LOL nope, not really. I went through all the promo shots trying to justify it for kitbash purposes, but I really just actively dislike both of those genres. So no matter how pretty and well crafted and hekkin' good deal it is, it makes more sense to spend that $3 on something that I would use.
It's very easy to use and indispensable if you want to use pre-iRay skin. I definitely recommend it!
On the topic of wishlist filtering, I had a better idea: instead of filtering on my wishlist page, if there were a button "show only items on my wishlist" on every sale listing (for instance, today we have https://www.daz3d.com/all-totally-tuesday-artists), the effect would be the same, and probably it would be easier to implement.
what will the next GT bring?
I've only used it on pre-iRay skin which was its intended purpose. It's definitely worth it if you plan to use characters prior to G3.
Yeah, the product description says it's for Genesis, Genesis 2, and Genesis 3. I was planning to see if I could get the skin to look better on older generation characters. Didn't get it in the cart quickly enough though. I was still mulling it over and got distracted looking at something else. Didn't notice the time, and now it's back up to around $50! But I will keep it on my wishlist.
Do you know how does N.G.S. Anagenessis 2 compare with products like 1-Click PBR Skin or Texture Booster on older characters ?
...OK this was unexpected, Got a bunch of Stonemason sets items off my wishlist for next to nothing. Used 5 tokens and my Daz+ PA Coupon which ended up with a number of items under 2$ with the most expensive 3.72$ and the least 73¢
So, for 25.84$ (Including the gold ticket item (which had to be purchased separately because it's a "new release") I ended up with just under 350$ worth of content for a total discount of 94%. Not bad,
Crikey almost like the good old days again.
Yes, yesterday was one of 'those' days
I'm glad you got some good deals!
Yesterday was good for me too. I think around 10 new items mixed in with legacy stuff. Granted a couple of the items were the Daz weekly and monthly freebies, but the cart was only $40. And I'm not sure there's much legacy stuff left on my wishlist now (I've 50 pages).
That is great! Hoping I do as well later in the month. I've got a day trip to a con this weekend, so highly motivated to resist temptation this week. (Not Today, Satan! LOL)
I AM making an exception and using my $6 off Daz+ code so I can get that $2+ Stonemason snow castle folks were talking about above - have had it wishlisted a while - plus 1 or 2 similarly discounted things I missed out last time they were on sale.
Ooh yipee! I've just been offered one of those great Lightning Deals - for only $5.72 I can get ... nothing? (Annoying how the store works with Pro vs Starter bundles)
Well, you get the Starter Bundle, which means it would not appear anymore in your Lightning Deals
(It's best to wait the next time Daz offers a sale where we only pay what we don't have in a bundle to get it for free)
Yes, I've done that for most of the Gen8 bundlles, but I've not seen any of those "pay for what you don't own" sales recently (since I started buying into Gen9)
Anyone want to talk about their Lightning Deals?
I haven't seen any good ones for a while. The best I got offered was https://www.daz3d.com/white-priestess-81-hd for $3+ last weekend. Sounds wonderful - except the character just isn't for me, even though most people seem to love her. I have several G8 & (don't tell anyone!) even a couple G9 core figures wishlisted, but they never show up in my LDs. At least the algorithm seems to have figured out I'm not into fantasy-Egyptian.
I have never gotten a lightning deal with anything newer than G2. Mostly I get offers for pre-2012 items I passed on zillions of times.
I don't think I've ever had anything from my Wishlist turn up on Lightning Deals. In fact I've only had 15 items in the year-or-so since it started that I felt motivated to buy and mostly they worked in some stacking deal to make them dirt cheap.
ETA: 9 of the 15 were for Gen8 or 8.1 (variously characters, hair or clothing) and 1 was Gen3, the others were environment/props. But I do get offered a lot of V4, and early Genesis too.
I rarely think to check Lightning Deals and even if I do it's usually not something I'm interested in, but yesterday was pretty good for once: I got Niketa starter bundle for around $3, and a nice pair of boots for $0.60
The use of a seemingly AI description here is confusing. In the last line it mentions snow and foliage and also mentions a city environment which doesn't seem to be part of the product. I can't find anything about an included HDRI or city background. . https://www.daz3d.com/central-ice-skating-park
