Substance Painter 97,49 (-25%)
Edit: Just read that someone said that due to the Shark Cash Card DLC you can't refund the bundle either.
Can you blame them though? On another note, if you were to go to a store and bought something on sale (usually meaning some sort of clearance sale) you most likely would not be able to return the product unless confirmed faulty in some sort of way or the seller did not deliver on made promises of content. Both of those are grounds to get a refund, and have been, for Steam. Only reason you wouldn't be able to return would be due to buyer's remorse, which makes complete sense if you are especially buying through a sale.
Just my logic, not meant to be a personal attack. They are not trying to introduce the ability to essentially "rent" games through steam, in the form of buying and returning if you have buyer's remorse and the like.
These are points for another topic though, sorry to threadjack. Pretty excited for GTAV and other sales, especially the dev tools.

Guess I'm gonna hang on for now :poly142:
This pretty much resume it, don't buy anything on the first day, it's surely going twice as cheap on the last day.
Basically I'm trying to move all my software to professional or indie versions, and the only thing I really have to replace is Softimage Student.
Are there any other limits Modo indie users are hitting when doing work for game art?
How are the vertex normal editing tools?
and the new Modo is 901
What are the main differences between 801 and 901.

A nice fuck you for every DS2 owner =S
I'm so happy now! (Had a feeling of guilt because I only watched let's plays until now and already wanted to buy the TWD series for a while... now I own all these wunderful games, yeah!)
And Substance Painter is a deal, too? Wow... Maybe I should get it.
So much good stuff... damn.
Vertex normal editing tools are really not as good in vanilla Modo without Farfarer's toolkit, although they're more robust than you might expect. You can harden and soften edges with Split Normals tool, move normals of components around with Transform Normals (similar to Softimage's out-of-the-box user normal editing capabilities) and you can transfer vertex normals from one mesh to another. Of course, all this normal editing is not as useful as it could be for non-photorealistic rendering purposes since Modo doesn't have custom viewport shaders available yet, but for decreasing gradients on normal map bakes it's quite handy.
If you're on Modo Indie you are probably going to need to learn how to combine bakes from different sources. If you have a 4.7-million-poly Zbrush sculpt or something that you did from a Modo Indie base mesh you are going to have a hard time baking it in Modo, even the full version, compared to xNormal. Of course, Modo has the rounded edges shader which can really speed things up if you need to crank out a bunch of hard-surface stuff quick, so as long as you're baking a subd model, traditional polygon model with rounded edges, or a simple Modo sculpt you'll be able to get good results at a pretty reasonable speed, and if you really need a Mikk synced map for whatever reason you can use xNormal to convert a world-space normal map to tangent space.
It's pretty likely that Modo Indie will be updated sooner or later to have some of those 901 features, but it's hard to say when. In any case there's some pretty good stuff in there right now and it's probably worth the sale price. Of course, it's probably worthwhile to wait and see if it'll be on a daily deal at some point.
Of course, Modo Indie doesn't support scripts and a lot of Modo advocates back in the day used tons of scripts to speed up their workflow. Many scripts are still relevant, especially Farfarer's kits for texel density and vertex normals which both represent major jumps in usability. If the lack of scriptability and programmability bothers you, which it really should, there's always Blender which supports Python scripting and makes all of its source available for free, and there's the full version of Modo which has a pretty nice C++ SDK and supports Python, Perl, and Lua scripts, with Python having the best support of those 3. And if you're a Linux type like I am, Modo Indie is just not an option as it only support Windows and OS X.
Also don't get Modo Indie if you need to be able to export to .dae as that format isn't included. It's not a big deal for UE4 or Unity but it kills Modo Indie's viability for some minor engines like Godot.
ambershee already said it might be on daily deals (because it usually was?), but have the price drops been significant higher?
Because I want to figure out if I should buy it right now and get started or if I should wait a couple of days to probably save more money, haha.
Thanks!
Cheeky fucks. Large numbers of people had been claiming refunds on it because it didn't run due to the BEX64 error.
It's been a daily deal something like 5-6 sales in a row now
So I assume they will also add features from 901 and future versions sooner or later as well. But if you're unsure, why don't you email their support? They answer pretty quickly usually.

No Info for 901 Modo.
We are not responsible for flash/daily sales. These are Valve's choice so we really don't know if there will be one. The chances that there will be one this time is very small though (due to various reasons).
sucks, was only going to buy if 50% or such. Too broke :poly142:
Huh, I never knew that. I always thought you had full control on the sales.
I just checked the store page, did they jack up the price to give a fake discount?
Even with 25% off its still more than what i paid at launch
Sir, you are being hunted 90% off $1.99, getting multiplayer july 1st
Grow Home 40% off $4.79
Race the Sun 80% off $1.99, brilliant time killer
On an unrelated note, everybody should buy Rogue Legacy. It's so addicting!
They pulled a double shade. They bundled it with a shark card. Which automatically redeems itself on your social club account making the game nonrefundable.
Also they:
I guess you do get the shark card at a discount but it's still super misleading of them to do.
I wouldn't mind paying full price for this game. Or even given a lesser discount say 5-10% but going about it the way they have is a giant Middle finger to their fans. Also this isn't a new release we are talking about here the game has already been out for 2 years on console.
For the good old days Arx fatalis and Dark Messiah.
And for boring times Shadowrun Dragonfall.

Chivalry is 90% off until tomorrow. Jus sayin
either the deals suck or I already own too many Steam games. I couldn't really find much I wanted to buy. And for the indie titles I usually hold out until they appear on GoG... at least my wallet is still happy. I guess that counts for something.
It seems it's always the same games that offer the same discounts each time, and as a result there's often not much worth buying. I've spent about $50 on lots of little indie games this year.
that said i also think its worth the 20 bucks it costs undiscounted, but maybe i am biased
If I had a dollar for every time payday 2 has been discounted then I wouldn't need Steam discounts any more
