This sounds interesting and like something to keep an eye on. Is it something you would like to build with others, i.e have other artists create characters and collaborate on world building? I'm a storyteller by avocation, but I've avoided fan fiction for the most part, because I think world building is too much fun to give it up to somebody else. That said, I'm happy to visit a different playground as long as there's something for me to do there.

It's a little unclear to me at this point what you mean by "open source." You plan to create characters and locations that other people can use? 3D models, or just the character design concepts? I think a lot of people on these forums can already create their own characters and scenarios, and they do it for fun. So not quite sure what you're offering here, but I'm probably missing something.

TYSM ilona!

Another weird thing is that when I add them I automatically get two of them, i.e Curved Segment and Curved Segment (2) appear in the scene when I've only added it once.

Just adding them from Poser Formats in the DAZ Studio Content Library (Figures folder).

If the problem was just materials I'd think I'd see the mesh but it would be all white? IDK.

@CHMedia: "I looked for your email on this account. It was not subscribed. Please try adding it again."

I would LOVE to do this, but I can't make it happen. I go to Account Settings -> Newsletters. The only thing there is a big orange button that says Subscription Center. When I click it, it says I will get an email. But the email never arrives.

I've checked the address on my account (OK) and I've checked my spam folder in that email (not there). 

The only way I found was I logged out and at one point when I logged back in it offered the newsletter to me in a popup. That's where I thought I had subscribed from on Monday, but apparently it didn't take.

And as I said, I also tried using the account that IS subscribed to the newsletter, the one that received the email with the coupon in it. I couldn't use the coupon on that account either.

So I'm really stuck out in the cold on this one. Any help would be appreciated.

I have two accounts. An old one I don't use anymore which was subscribed to the community newsletter and received the email, and my current one which was not subscribed to the community newsletter at the time.

But I have now subscribed from this account as well, although I haven't received anything yet.

The coupon will not work on either of the accounts. Not this one, not the one that received it. I get the same message in both places.

The item I'm trying to buy is Lori from Krashwerks. Eligible for coupons, not Prime, not clearance, not bundled, not any of the other things the fine print says it's not allowed to be used on.

How would I even get the code if I wasn't subscribed? (Other than cheating, I mean...)  I assume that if it's being sent to me I should be eligible to use it, no?

Lol! I'd have a MORE wonderful day if I could get a discount on the model I want to buy 😁

I guess the 2nd question is - is this the right place for this post, or should it go in marketplace support? It was the community newsletter, so I wasn't sure.

I am also unable to use it. I keep getting "You do not have permission to use this coupon" even though I think I've picked something that meets all the fine print criteria, except for being on sale. Does the coupon apply ONLY to things that are on sale? 

I've tried looking at my newsletter settings, but I keep clicking the "Emma" button and getting nothing in my inbox, so I can't even see if it's a problem with the subscription, or sign up for the newsletter if it is.

Oh, OK. There are some characters from Krashwerks I'd really like to to have and others that I'm not interested in. If it's a roll of the dice which one I'll get, I guess I'll pass on this offer.

Holy cow, I didn't even realize I had 2 accounts on here! 

Drat, there goes my secret identity! :-)

Thanks for your patience!
