From what I see there should be no difference whether one has bought yesterday or might buy today.

As far as I understand it, those who bought  the yesterday's Topsy 8 bundle won't get the 30% off today's bundle.

I am not sure about the Ostrich bundle, because there is no note on the items having to be in one's cart simultaneously.

 

Buy the Topsy 8 The Tinkerer Bundle to get the Topsy 8 HD Add-On FREE*
and get an EXTRA 30% OFF* the Topsy 8 Merry and Bright Bundle

---

Buy the Topsy 8 The Tinkerer AND Topsy 8 Merry and Bright Bundles
to get the Steampunk Ostrich and Cart Bundle for FREE

Notes:

* Items must be in cart simultaneously for discount to apply.
Cannot be used to purchase Items already owned at a lower price.

Actually I appear to have got a larger discount for having accepted yesterday's offer. Bundle 2 came in at $34.57, with the Evergreens texture, *and* the free ostrich and cart bundle.

Admittedly, I have one of the larger loyalty discounts, and am also a PC+ member.

What do you mean "with the Evergreens texture"? The Texture AddOn shows a discount of 66% for me but should not be needed to geht todays bundle for $34,57.

Do you mean Bundle 2 + textures for USD 34.57 total?

It probbly wasn't actually needed for the discount, but that was the only other item in the cart which wasn't a freebie, so I figured that I'd mention it.

It definitely isn't needed.

I have both bundles in my cart.

Tinkerer bundle for USD 39.06 + free HD add-on.

Merry and Bright bundle for USD 34.57 + free Ostrich bundle for having both Topsy bundles in the cart.

My Topsy renders use Milawa skin also.

Very much appreciated! Guess I'm buying her after all <3
And I ADORE that hair. It's probably the only thing I'm getting from the bundle.

Hmmm I am puzzled about why the Topsy Bundle comes with the Genesis 8 Female Anatomical Elements ,but Drutherson didn't come with the Genesis 8 Male  Elements ......

Huh.  I could have sworn that they were included when the bundle was first announced, and it's really strange since Drutherson DOES comes with the anatomical mats.       

Well, one or the other must be a mistake. Given the cost is Pro Bundle cost you'd think it's Drutherson that is the mistake.

Just what I wanted, a mechanical ostrich! Today I'd be more than happy to pay us$34.57 just for these three items!

Steampunk Ostrich and Cart Bundle
Steampunk Sleigh
Poppy Hair for Genesis 3 & 8 Females

 (+free Plush Cat and 90% off DazOriginals bundles)

Love the characters.

... Just goes to show that "Gnomes Rule"!

Anybody know which outfit Topsy is wearing in the CDI poses promos?

http://www.daz3d.com/cdi-poses-for-topsy-8-and-genesis-8-female

Thanks in advance

@Lost_Utopian Looks like the dForce House Brownie Outfit: https://www.daz3d.com/dforce-house-brownie-outfit-for-genesis-8-males

With some texture mods.

Lost_Utopian

Certainly looks like a match, except for the buttons on the side of the pants for house brownie.  The page doesn't list if the buttons can be hidden or removed. I do have it, so I'll have to play around a bit.  Thanks for the info!!

Surprisingly bad deal. Compare to Drutherson:

$62 for ALL Drutherson content + $100 worth of DOs (which were discounted, so that $100 credit bought a LOT of content, and the potential selections included newer Pro bundles and HD add-ons)

VS

$74 for the Topsy bundles + HD add-on + rando steam ostrich bundle

BUT another $5 if you want the Evergreen textures + you only get a discount on DOs instead of a $100 credit (and that discount only applies to a limited selection of older DOs - nothing newer than Tristan, and no HD add-ons)

@Cybersox, you are obviously a person of refined tastes.

Question - could those old Hal Roach shorts be in the public domain now?  Lots of clips on youtube.

Some are, some aren't.  A lot of Hal Roach films are mistakenly identified as public domain as Roach himself operated a company in the eighties that sold copies of his old film made from his personal prints along with copies of other films that were definitely in the PD to bulk out the catalog, so many people assumed that they all were.  For films from that period, it really comes down to whether the copyright was renewed and lately there have been a lot of reversals on the status of films that WERE considered to be PD like Nosferatu and a number of the old Republic serials due to retroactive revisions in the way the codes are being rewritten thanks to lots of lobbying by the likes of Disney.

Those rules only apply in US & it's territories. Anything 1925 & before is public domain, although specific characters can be and usually are trademarked, that trademarking doesn't stop the free distribution of those public domain recordings containing those trademarked characters. People may even package those old public domain recordings and sell them, although they have no ability to restrict others from doing the same in their doing so.

Okay, the discounts on topsy bundles and the cart and ostrich thing are NOT working the discount on the HD morph is working the rest are not as the three of them together are over 90 bucks. I'll think about it after they fix em I guess.

Please try refreshing - I bought the other bundle 9and HD) yesterday, today's bundle seems to eb showing about the right discount and the ostrich bundle is free for me.

Okay, I just made sure I had no  DAZ browser windows open, then came back in one window, still borked, logged out and back in and still borked. Also am I right in assuming that there are no purple banners on these bundles because of the loyalty discount?

The buttons are rigid whatevers and all attached to the pants rather than a part of them. Just delete the ones you don't want.

There was a banner for those who had the hair that is in yesterday's bundle, other than that no banners - presumably, as you say, because of the loyalty discount. I'll check the stacking for both bundles in another     account and report it if necessary. Edit: the offers look to be working in my plain, vanilla, non-PC account.

Well if it matters i  have my platinum clup active at the moment and the Topsy merry and bright bundle is 34.57      The steampunk cart is 5.13   and the topsy the tinkerer bundle is 45.95   and like I said before the HD morph is free like it is supposed to be... not sure what is going on, but 91.62  is a bit much when I have been seeing others mention it costing much less. If 91.62 is the correct price  I'll just wait.

Drutherson's anatomical mats are included. At least they were with mine (not that I need them really...lol) ;)

Laurie

yup but not his male Elements........yeah I don't need them either  I was just puzzled

The male elements are the same for all male G8M characters. I'm confused. LOL. Do you not have another male character with which they were included?

nope never bought any Pro bundles for the males or females

 

Ah, I see.

SolitarySandpiper

According to my sums (and with a little help from a coupon and giftcard) i picked up all the Topsy stuff together with 3x pro bundles for little over $75....gonna be having so much fun with my Christmas renders that i'll barely find time to come on here to praise and grumble!

You  are putting the Ostrich and cart bundle in, not the separate parts?

(But of course the fun can be spoiled at any moment with frustrations!) i'm having trouble with the eye twinkles product... my G8F wearable doesn't work, i just get 2 grey blocks covering the eyes and none of the materials have an effect. after a while i noticed there was a G8M wearable and that does work once converted but many of the effects are way too strong even at the lowest setting. edit: ok so you can increase the effect via the surfaces tab using a combination of luminance and cutout opacity but now i'm wondering what the point of the cones are?

You'll likely need to put in a support ticket if you're having trouble with a product: https://www.daz3d.com/help/

well, after a lot of deep deliberation, I've decided to pass. Yeah, Thirstyson needs a girlfriend, but he will just have to wait until the pricing is affordable. 

Well you could look at it as you're helping them with their social distancing.

probably just find a work around... i've recently bought a figure with no corneas (Zhao), then another with no eye lashes (Minto) coincidently all eye related but also have hair that takes an age to load and crashes Daz if i try to save it (ramone hair).

All need reporting i guess but i find the whole experience convoluted to be honest especially if there is a obvious quick workaround, which seems to be the norm anyway (i'm learning) for many things Daz and 3d rendering in general.
