    I haven't seen that. I have a lot of PC items in my wishlist and none of them are showing at $.98. Did you have to purchase something in order to get the discount?

    This new (advanced, featureful) system is not capable of showing things at $0.98 (at least, I don't recall it ever doing so in the past 13 months) - but it (usually) puts in the overall discount in when you go look at your Shopping Cart http://www.daz3d.com/checkout/cart/

    I'm looking at the front-page ad here (and yes, I know about the "not the new items" caveat...):

    ...just put a warning on the DA thread here for people to avoid my gallery until I hear form DA management.

    ...totally bums me out as I had a really nice day today (Saturday). What do people get out of this kind of rubbish? A sense of self worth that they screwed something up for someone else? Yeah, whoever cracked my account (if that is indeed the case) must have a serious self esteem issue. All I wanted to do is make someone's day a bit brighter.

    ...yikes! I heard about The Forest, almost makes a Stonemason set seem like a primitive in comparison.

    Yep! Insanely detailed and nice.

    Reflectivity is always a killer because of all the ray bouncing it causes. I think PS1 even brought his 24 thread 48 GB monster to a crawl with a scene which was loaded with it.

    ...and heavily transmapped hair especially with US/SSS, will definitely put the brakes on things. Remember when I was trying to render the Mentha Piperata hair on my new system? Ended up I had to turn off the ray tracing to keep it from stalling.

    This time, all these parts went without a hitch! Just 16 hours!

    Just don't add any fog effects like I had in my pic or your system may go China Syndrome. The difference in render times with and without the fog was something like 3 hrs and 25 min. Was going to use fog in another scene I'm working on that is 1,200 x 1,200 but decided to cheat and use a Jepe's SteamZ plane with the opacity turned down. Looks pretty good in the tests and doesn't slog the render down, especially since one of the characters has hair with some really complex transmaps.

    Looking forward to the end results, sounds like it's going to be a very nice scene.

    Remember what I said about THOSE parts going without a hitch? Of course there has to be something unexpected that messed it up. *thbtp* :P So no nice pictures now. :( (Although I can make a funny ad out of the one I got, sorta lemons-to-lemonade situation.)

    Gonna re-render, ditch uberenv and test some of those freeeeeee lights I got for buying V6 Pro bundle. (Been 50-50 now -- I did not have those lights (1&2), but I do have those other two item sets given. Can't complain, free stuff is free stuff, and I was going to get pro even without 'em.)

    That's because 50% would apply to original item price, and you're already getting PC items 87%-88% off, and PC item discount is non-stacking and whenever there's a special sale for "half-price" PC items, they need to make a special-special category for them and chuck 'em into it with that specific discount tag and then move back to PC once that sale is over.

    @Kyoto: The way to store deviations is: Submit -> Manage Deviations. Then you can check stuff and send it to storage or make it public.

    As for the hacking thing, there's numerous reasons. One of the most common is "Just to show I can" or "For amusement", the same way little kids throw rocks at frogs and toss snails into the air to watch 'em smack the ground - because seeing suffering from something that can't retaliate is fun to them.

    Doing it as a "Prank" often comes up.

    @Ski: ah, k, thanks for explaining that <(^_^). Yay progress eh? (>_<)</p>

    ETA: for some reason, I _was_ getting a $1 discount on the Ancient Greek Boat, but none of the others I tried from around that age, mainly the Black Rose Collection items that I didn't already have... I guess it was one that had been left in the wrong category...

    No, Wooly says it's the "kilometer long pike". (Just smile and play along, and nobody gets hurt.) : P

    Olaf and Company think it's a pike, but they're not conversant with prehistoric dinosaurs, so what can you expect?


    It's best to just let Olaf think what he wants, he gets hissy...!

    (very red face emote)

    I was out getting some groceries and booze for tonight and I decided to get some BBQ for tomorrow (since the truck is closed Sunday and Monday). I decided to try their bbq chopped brisket sandwich for the first time and.. just O M G!

    Super-tender tasty briskey chopped up with medium bbq sauce served between two nicely browned pieces of Texas Toast! This is better than the brisket sandwich I had at Stubbs, and Stubbs is one of Austins finest bbq restaurants.

    There must be close to 3/4 pound of meat on this monster! (shock face) DInner will end up being very very small...

    I could use a beer, but I swore off keeping beer at home (too many carbs) so it's diet Coke.. sigh.

    The darn thing only cost $5, too. Amazing!

    Ok, back to eating, I can't type and eat a messy sandwich at the same time or I'll be cleaning bbq sauce out of the keys...!

    A-brisket a-brasket
    A sandwich in a basket
    Dripping sauce of BBQ
    Be careful not to drop it,
    Don't drop it,
    Don't drop it,
    Be careful not to drop it.
    Carefully I'll pick it up and in my mouth I'll pop it.

    Oh, excellent!!!! (huge grin)

    Another day, another cup of coffee!!

    Work up early-ish even though I wanted to sleep in, urgh. BBQ ribs for breakfast, though!

    Today is laundry and shower day, clean me and clean clothes! Otherwise it's work on Ellie and try to see what I have that will make a decent underwater scene. I'm not sure I have the proper stuff for underwater renders as I never imagined doing one.. hmmph.

    I need a faster laptop.. sigh. Maybe in December one the new Haswell CPUs are out. (urgh face)

    Nope, sorry - search picked up nadda. =/
    Nothing came up for Elasmosaurus, and only a Vicky outfit came up for Ellie. V_V

    It does resemble the old Elasmo from DAZ though which I still have, and yus she is a beauty.

    I rendered her once before.


    *EDIT* Awesome new Tyrannosaurus though: http://www.renderosity.com/mod/bcs/index.php?ViewProduct=99674
    Needs a bit of texture work on the gullet, but other than that is a beauty as well (Really dislike the "flat" color throats that just end there. Digi-I's Acrocanthrosaurus and Swidhelm's Tyrannosaurus had it right in that case. The Wyvern2.0's default skin had a nice dark throat, but it didn;t go back very far so it often looked fake.)

    There are a couple of models - mine is the Elasmosoarus with no added morphs, the package also came with a Styxosaurus, which is the main promo pic. I couldn't pass up a twofer of tootsomel sea dinos!!

    It's a great little thing to work on - someday, there'll be an illustrated version of the poem, which I'll turn into an eBook of some kind and give away! (big grin)

    I need practice for all the other things I'm going to do and Olaf makes a great excuse. Maybe he'll turn into a serial mock epic poem!
