    Wendy mentioned procedural textures, so it probably wouldn't look right out of the box. Well, I decided to get it today at the doorbuster price out of curiosity and see what I can do with it. wink

    Thanks for this! I was eyeing that doorbuster too. Might pick it up. :)

    It would seem that Daz put a limit on Lightning Deals.I was getting lots of things for 92% and 94% off in there. Usually at least a couple each round if not more. Now for the last 2 days they have all been 79% off, none ever go higher than that. It doesn't make sense, especially with Premier membership and GS active. Did anyone else notice this?

    By the way, I can confirm that Daz does accept prepaid cards for buying Premier membership. I see previous discussions debated whether it would work on Premier (since prepaid cards generally can't handled auto-renew). But it just worked for me using one of those standard prepaid visa gift cards that you can get at any dollar store or drugstore. 

    Those prepaid cards work because Visa processes them like Real Credit Cards  - for example, they get declined if there's not enough money on them instead of the remaining balance being applied to the purchase. (I used to do customer service for a retailer that sold those.)

    What you still cannot use for Premier are bank issued DEBIT CARDS with Visa, MasterCard etc. logo. I just (5 minutes ago) rejoined Premier and had to do so with PayPal because Daz would not (again) allow me to use it on Premier - even though nearly every other purchase here is with that very debit card which does recurring payments. Ironically, PayPal is linked to that same card, so it's an extra unneeded step

    ...well so much for Premiere as I don't have a CC  only a bank issued Debit card.  I cancelled my PayPal account many years ago after a hack and never went back to it as I would hear people were having issues with it processing purchases.

    Well, mine has been 72% off, but I am not Premier...

    I think sometimes LD has crossover with the artists/categories in the active sale, boosting the discount. I'm also currently seeing 79% off for all items in Lightning Deals. (For reference, I'm currently Premier with a gold star.)

    In other news, hoping for a giftcard sale soon. March Madness has been spendy so far, glad to finally get some of the rarer items on my wishlist.

    Hard to believe we're not even two weeks into this presumably-five-week sale. This thing is d-r-a-g-g-i-n-g......

     

    (Watch, my luck: they'll extend it for a week into the first week of April.)

    Lightning Deals are pulled from non Daz+ Daz Originals older than around a year (at least that what I'm observing, but due to the randomness of LDs, maybe the age threshold is lower).

    They are around 16000 non Daz+ Daz Originals out of the ~22000 Daz Originals available on the store. No idea how many of them are older than one year.

    Today, only ~1500 of DOs are on sale, and only a subset of these are eligible to be Lightning Deals. Each LD likely have around 1 chance out of 13-14 to be on sale, and so, able to end with a 90+ discount.

    Last week-end, I think they were over 10k Daz Originals in the Mad Artist Store so likely around 2 chances out 3 for a LD to get a 90+ discount.

    I had to cut my Daz budget hard this year, so I keep emptying cartfuls of nice-to-haves. But I'll still bite if the price is right / I have use for the items. MM mileage may vary depending on your art projects & what's already in your library - 5 weeks is a long sale if it's not ticking boxes.

    Well, if they cap the discount on LDs, that'll certainly save me the bother of hitting the button every three hours to see if a pellet drops out of the chute this time.

    "Meh" seems generous for my experience.

    Glad it's playing nice for others, though.

    Still haven't spent anything in MM.  Looking forward to this dull sale to be over and get back to regular sales that are much better. Why can't they give us $1.99-$2.49 NEW items as door prizes like they did in the past? I bought something pretty much daily then. The old items available to me are so old, 3Delight old and they've remained the same throughout the whole sale!
