No, I haven't. How would that even work? If you haven't spent it, do they just yank it out of your account? What if you have other store credit in your account? Do they just assume that the next $10 in credit that you spend comes from that, or do they assume that the *last* $10 credit in your account is the survey credit?
It almost feels like accidental boilerplate left in, except that they've never expired store credit before, so it's shiny new boilerplate! Hopefully accidental.
You bring up some worrisome questions.
I do not get the same shape as you with the original Tamati and the new Tamati.
This is a comparison of the orignal Tamati on the right (100% Tamati, 75% Kwan 8), with the new Tamati on the left (100% Tamati, 0% Kwan 8) and they both look the promo images in the original. The last product promo shows Tamati with no Kwan 8, and looks exactly like new Tamati (the one on the left).
This is a comparison of the same two with new Tamati with 75% Kwan 8, and the original Tamati. They are virtually identical .
Your original Tamati 8 (1st pic, on the right) I can only get by loading original Tamati (which starts with 100% Tamati and 75% Kwan 8 head, and 75% Kwan 8 body, but not any Kwan 8 as in "People"). Dialing in an additional 75% Kwan 8 adds another 75% to the head and body morphs for a total of 150%, and gives me the figure on the right, which looks a lot like your default.
So, maybe the original control added too much Kwan 8, but now it adds none. Maybe the idea was to not add Kwan 8 Head and Body and just use Kwan 8 Full. Or maybe just use Kwan 8 Head and Body morphs and not add Kwan 8 Full.
Unfortunately, I cannot have both old and new Tamati installed at the same time since they use the same filenames, but the new one definitely removes too much.
That is weird. I wonder why my default Tamati doesn't look like yours? Yours very clearly has no Kwan at all, whereas mine ... I have no idea. I even looked at him with Show HIdden, but there's nothing there but his own morph at 100% and some eyelashes morphs and navel and nipples.
Okay, now it's messing with me...
I load a new Tamati and he looks like the original promos. No Kwan 8 morphs to be seen, but he looks the same. Obviously the new morphs have incorporated the look that came from Kwan 8's contribution. Must have been a memory cache thing that was using some older content file that has been replaced. I knew it was going to cause problems, should have restarted Studio first...
In the past they certainly used the eligible credit with the nearest expiry first, so as long as you spend $10 or more by the 21st I would expect there would be no impact. if you do spend less than $10 by the 21st I would expect the balance of the $10 to be removed, but nothing else. If that isn't what happens then it will certainly be a matter for support, and we would also forward it to Daz.
Does anyone know a Daz product which has swiss cheese in a round or block of cheese shape? I don't want the flat sandwich kind. I've looked through most of the food products and don't see any.
There is a Swiss cheese shader in this: https://www.daz3d.com/41-food-shaders , so you could try that on a primitive.
There are cheeses in these products as well (no Swiss, but perhaps with the shader applied?)
https://www.daz3d.com/dirty-dishes
https://www.daz3d.com/picnic-basket
And there's always Blender (with the 41 food shaders cheese applied) - just a quick attempt.
You must be looking at something else as when I follow your link that product still lists Kwan 8 as being a requirement.
Has a quarter of Swiss cheese but not the entire round.
3D Universe Toon Mouse | Daz 3D
You'll need to udate the materials to be a bit more realistic.
Perfect! I didn't see the cheese prop listed when I looked at it. Thanks so much!
I had tried the 41 food shader cheese texture, but it stretches horribly even with tiling and won't work well on rounded. I tried it on a triangle and it didn't look good either, my tweaking was horrible. (Skill of the user.) I do love the Blender one!
The book has plug-in effects so the cheese doesn't have to look realistic, and I'm doing a lot of hand painting after the plug-in is used, and several other effects so realism is really lost :) Thanks everyone!
None of the supporting resources have been changed (product page or ReadMe, because, you know, they're a priority), but the product download is quite clearly named "Tamati HD for Genesis 8 Male" in DIM and the supplement.dsx file. Same SKU (71479) , same part (-01), different name (IM00071479-01_TamatiHDforGenesis8Male.zip), so I am not mistaken. If DAZ's solution was to bake in the Kwan 8 morphs with Tamati, I say it was a bad move, if you want Tamati without Kwan 8, as is shown on the original product page.
Oh, I didn't expect that they'd updated the product but not the actual listing.
Also Mouse by AM has a small chunk of swiss cheese

Ugh, I saw the outfithttps://www.daz3d.com/cb-cento-for-genesis-8-and-genesis-81-females and thought it was cool that it was so cheap. Now I see why. It only has ONE material zone and the fit is awful! Has anyone else tried this with better results? I did add metallic flakes but that wouldn’t cause the weird bulge.
The bulge on the left hip looks to be by design, see one of the pop-ups:
I'm not quite sure what you are picking up on the crotch.
What exactly is the catalyzer?
Medieval Kitchenware isn't in my DIM. I own it. It's in my Product Library and shows purchased. See if you own it, and if you aren't being provided it in DIM?
https://www.daz3d.com/lamh-2-iray-catalyzer
Let's you render (certain) LAMH hair in Iray.
I own it and it's there, but the issue is that it's partially misspelled.
"Medieval" is spelled correctly. "Kitchenware" is, however, missing the first I, so it's just "ktchenware" in DIM. If that's the word you were searching in DIM, that's why you couldn't find it. If you look at the file names in the product library, you can see the misspelled name there.
Interesting- is the product supposed to be Kitchenware or Ktchenware though? If you look at the product description, it uses the ktchenware.
It comes with a waist morph to suck in the waist which is why the hips look exaggerated in the promo. I didn’t use that morph and there is a distinct weird bulge on the right. Also the crotch is awful if the character is in any pose besides neutral. And even the boots are ONE material zone. Not even a separate zone for sole. I don’t think I’ve ever seen that before. In any case, I sent in a ticket to return. I always wait too late to test things and end up with a lot of faulty products that can take years to fix or are never fixed. I doubt this will be fixed, so I’m returning it.
In case you hadn't noticed this one, it's in the stores today (which go to about 60% off if you get a new / debut item, I am picking up the PC+ ones, and if you are PC+)
GNBD Pool Props has deflated/process of being deflated pool toys. It also has a pool toy which is folded so you can put it under an arm for carrying.
Disappointing... I've had a good impression of CynderBlue products so far. I only have characters though, no clothing items.
Out of curiosity I did a search online of my products for 'CB' and found I had 10 clothing outfits and 8 characters by CynderBlue. Looking at the images, I can't remember any issues when I rendered them. One I haven't rendered, it was part of a Daz O Pro Pack and wasn't anything I was interested it. But I can't see anything on it that might cause issues. The characters were interesting and unique, not cookie-cutter at all.
The image that Wonderland posted showing the gap at the crotch and the weird shape on the upper arm, something went wrong. Would it still do it with the basic G8F body? I don't have this outfit so I can't test it.

Yes, I love CB’s characters and own several. I also have several outfits that I realize I have never used! This was on Kiko’s Body with a bit of Xiao Mei (that automatically loads with G8.1 now!) but dialed down a lot. It probably works on generic G8.1 but who uses that?
Wonderland, if you have time, try a test on G8.1F, just to see if there is a gap or weirdness. I know that for now, G8.1F loads pretty fast for me, because I don't have many 8.1 characters or morph sets yet. Then you may be able to see if it was the character you worked on, or in the outfit's issue. I think outfits are supposed to be tested on the base characters, G8F and G8.1F if sold for them. Would that be correct?
Oh thanks, that looks useful.
Here's a look at the basic render of part of the image I'm using with the mouse and cheese in the scene. This shows the color of the cheese (default) which comes with the 3d Universe Toon Mouse. The mouse is Mouse by AM. The finished scene won't look like this as hand painting, several programs, and plug-ins on top of plug-ins are being used. I've got 13 of the 28 or so renders done but will have to fine tune and rework some of them. I hope to get this sucker done before hurricane season really kicks in, but won't be releasing it until I have a second book done too. So I am aiming for the fall. Anyone else have books out right now?
It's a large image so you can see the adorable details of the mouse :) Click to enlarge, click again.
