    *sigh* The Powertool Saws which is today's doorbuster is DAZ Connect only. 

    I've not picked up many of the doorbusters so I don't know if this is a growing thing or not. But I've asked for a refund. Not dealing with DAZ Connect.

    There are no Daz Connect only products, the reference to Daz Connect on that page is in the page template, ie. always there.

    Yeah, it looks like the usual issue that crops up where the DIM and manual install files weren't loaded correctly.

    We have reported the issue, though I would expect it to be later tomorrow before it is fixed.

    If they do offer me a manual download I'll withdraw the ticket. But as of right now there is nothing but Connect.

    Yes, not that unusual, but as Richard said, it probably won't be fixed before they get to work at Daz at 09.00 Daztime (10 hours from now)

    As long as they fix it, then it's ok for me. I don't need a chainsaw that badly right now... ;-)

    But the new Enterables series, 'Ancient Huts 1', looks great! https://www.daz3d.com/ancient-huts-1 Five buildings + Props immediately flew into my cart.

    This should be fixed now.

    Yup. It is. Tiresome, but no harm done in the end.

  • DAZ connect only ?

     

    That's near-ridiculous, given that you screw your DIM-based installation, if you install it...
    am i getting this wrong?

    It was just an error. It's not really connect only.

    Wildenlander! *There's* a name I haven't seen for a while. That series goes all the way back to gen3 at least. 

    Looks pretty good too. 

    Actually, there were a number of releases with attractive promos today. But then I do a fair number of fantasy renders.

    I have every single version since the V3 / M3 ones (never used V3/M3 much but those sets were great).

    I really like this version.

    I have all of them too. These went into my cart, budget be damned! But as I am downloading onto different computers, DIM seems to not be connecting for the third. Even using one download from one Win computer to another, bombed. Did the DIM server go down or get swamped? I even shut down fully and started all over and now DIM can't fully connect. Just blipping across the top while my files wait to download or are installed.

    I love the new https://www.daz3d.com/heathland-wildflowers--harebells but have the problem that some of the flowers turn out white (click to enlarge):

    In the Surface Tab the culprit seems to be Flower_01 (click to enlarge):

    I deleted and reinstalled the product, restarted DAZ and Windows to no avail. I have the newest nvidia driver installed and my DAZ version is 4.22.0.1 Pro Edition (64Bit).

    Does anybody else encounter the same problem? Thankyou!

    Hi all, I really love this new jewelry set -https://www.daz3d.com/tf-ice-queen-jewlery-set-for-genesis-9 -, but I wonder if one can find out beforehand somehow whether the long chains are rigged at all? It doesn't say on the product page, and there are no pictures of any poses other than standing straight. Is there anything in the files list maybe that would be an indicator? Thanks!

    Some of the renders seem to show that the long earrings might be rigged, because one is draped on her shoulder.

    Thanks for pointing that out! It would be really helpful if info like this was included on the product page, no? - Still, looks beautiful. But expensive, too, for a prop set.

    A jewellery set with long earrings and short necklace - that's 'off' for my taste. There are basic rules of good jewellery design, and one of them is that the length of neck and ear jewellery should match to create a harmonious effect. I'm sorry if that sounds too strict, but when I see combinations like this, my hair stands on end. And I was actually happy to see a set with lots of glittering stones again. crying

  • I really like the look of the Ice Queen stuff and will probably pick up the pro bundle. Distinctive character with some lovely outfit pieces and accessories. Lots that I can see being useful for kitbashing.

  • it's a series of parented props

  • tsroemitsroemi Posts: 2,755

    I didn't know about the rules for jewelry mentioned, pretty interesting. I wasn't planning on using the set as a whole though.
     

    What do people think about the new related figure, Snow Queen 9? Weird that she hasn't received a thread yet. I like her strong features, looks a bit like a trans woman. I just wish there were more promos of her as a 'normal' person, not fantasy-like.

    I was thinking the same thing... Not sure about her yet... She's in my cart... waiting... for a decision to buy???... I think I'll wait until tonight to decide.

    It's really really cool that we are getting a bit more unique and not just 'standard pretty' figures with G9 now I think. I like the trend. - Concerning the jewelry, found a second promo where one can clearly see that the earrings can be posed. Now only need to know about the side dangly things on the headpiece ...

    Oh, and about the bundle: snow queen but no castle?!? Instead an 'Ice hotel' in the extras. Pity, although one can use the hotel for parts of a castle I reckon. Still, weird choice.

    I think I'm gonna get the whole shabang!!!  lol.  With what's left of my gift certificate (which I got for 20%off) It's a really great deal... and yeah... I've noticed the last few bundles don't include an environment... I've been looking at the "hotel" bed... I'm thinking I can squish it to make it a bench/throne... if.. it is a separate item.  I love the headboard!  I am glad I'm not the only one thinking what you pointed out.  I should be happy the queen looks 'different'  I guess I too have been in 'pretty' mode... You are right.. nice to have a different gal thank the standard.  ;)  (goes off to PAY for her cart)  eep... lol.  (oh.. ps... also in my cart is the Olympia bundle)  chaaa chiiiiiiiiiiiiing!!!  lol

  • I'm in the weird position with the Snow Queen where I like her "older" face but her basic appearance doesn't really do anything for me (not that it's bad, it's just that I already have a lot of figures in that range, and these days I don't buy figures at all unless they're a face I don't already have), and I'm not buying the pro bundle just to get the older morph, so I guess I'm not going to get her.

  • DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE THE SNOW QUEEN ALTERNATE SHAPES ARE, WOULD LOVE TO HAVE A CLOSER LOOK AT THOSE OPTIONS BEFORE BUYING...

  • Never mind, found them :) thought they were a separate bundle...happy holidays!

    Hehe, I was thinking the EXACT same thing about the bed! Am putting the hotel in my wishlist for now, mainly because of it. If you get round to trying out the 'bed to throne' squashing, I'd love to see!

    Heads up that if you buy the Snow Queen pro bundle with the 3 add-ons, you get 20% off a gift card too in addition to 30% off the other stuff. Add in a membership with the discount code, you get 50% off it plus another 20% off it and the Snow Queen pro bundle.

    I've done some quick renders.

    Yes, I too thought the bed might make a throne.
