What "Stack" are you most proud of?

HyJinx

Daz is still very new to me, so with the current promotion I feel like a kid in a candy store and I can't decide which aisle to start on. There's just SO many choices, and ways of stacking items to score the best price.

So, how have you best used the current promotion to your advantage? What "stack" are you most proud of?

Well, I guess checking the departments daily. Interactive Lessons were not advertised at all until they showed up as rewards for Countdown-To-Summer, but they were (AND STILL ARE) free before. We found them by accident. The new ones are great too plus those two freebies... I mean, many people who started when Generation 4 was the latest had already bought them, but I discovered DS in 2012, shortly after Genesis hit the shop, so I didn't buy it. Now I got several items for free. If you are interested, here you go:

My favourite department is no doubt Freepository :coolgrin:!

More seriously... The sales are different for different people. If you want to use Generation 4 and Genesis, the sale called Spring Cleaning (http://www.daz3d.com/daz-victoria-4-sale, http://www.daz3d.com/daz-michael-4-sale and http://www.daz3d.com/pa-v4-and-m4-sale) will be very useful. You can fit the majority of those items onto Gen2F and Gen2M, although you may need some bigger adjustments, sometimes additional products (like M4 for Gen2M and V4 for Gen2F) or reading the tutorials. I'd take a look anyway. There are even V4 and M4 Pro Suites 80% off. What is you intention regarding DS? We will be happy to help you :).

Thanks for the links! I can't wait to check them out!

As far as Daz, if I'm being honest, I guess I'm mostly just playing right now. I'm working on building a website, and I'm using Daz to build the site's mascot character, but I keep getting sidetracked. There's just so much to see and learn!

I'm using Genesis for the character, and dare I say, I'm ALMOST finished with her.

robkelk

Thanks for the list, Cecelia! I had missed a few of those.

I'll add one to the list:
http://www.daz3d.com/free-3d-models-and-content/look-at-my-hair-free-player

bduncan86, there are some other free items in the store, but they're "free with purchase" rather than completely free. You can find them here:
http://www.daz3d.com/free-3d-models-and-content

Some of those you should already have with Daz Studio 4.6 (such as the Texture Atlas), some don't work with Daz Studio (such as the Bryce items), and some are on Cecilia's list (such as the Kruger), but the others will fill a few holes in your runtime (such as the animals). Any time you buy something from DAZ3D, add one of these to your order until you have them all.

The ones I'm most pleased with happen during the PC anniversary. Hundreds of dollars worth of products for a few bucks.

Robkelk and Vaskania are both right. For me, it also works when you add all free-with-purchase items into your cart with any purchasable. They should be discounted then. We'd love to see your mascot project, by the way, it sounds very interesting! You can create various morphs with the free pack called 182 Morphs for V4/Genesis/Gen2F/Gen2M (there are four versions) - find them at ShareCG.

Thanks everyone! I appreciate all of the information!

I'll definitely post my first render when it's finished, too. I really appreciate how welcoming you all are :)

Looking forward to your renders! Have fun.

One more thing: it is a good idea to sign for DAZ newsletter. They send emails with sales as well as offers for chosen customers, but they don't flood your mailbox.
