The DAZ 3D March Madness 2026 Sale features exclusive Silver Star and Gold Star extra discounts, combined with Mega Madness Weekend deals offering up to 70% off select 3D models, characters, and assets.
March Madness 2026: What you get
DAZ 3D’s March Madness 2026 promotion is built for people who buy 3D characters, outfits, props, environments, and add-ons and want a simple way to push discounts lower across a whole cart. The sale mechanics reward consistent, small purchases over a few days, then apply a Star-based percentage reduction to the rest of your order. That means you can plan a shopping list, qualify for a Star, and then place a larger cart the next day with better pricing.
This listing is a plain-English guide to the Star system plus the day’s featured deals: Mega Madness Weekend (a deep discount on up to five older items), Mad Door Prizes using a coupon code, and a featured character offer for Genesis 9. Use it as a checklist so you know what to buy first, what to add next, and how to avoid missing a requirement.
Star status: Silver and Gold
Star discounts on your entire order
Once you have a Star, the discount applies to your entire order as an extra percentage reduction.
- Silver Star provides an extra 10% off.
- Gold Star provides an extra 30% off.
The promotion notes that some categories are excluded from the Star discount (for example gift cards, memberships, and certain licenses), so confirm exclusions in your cart before checkout.
Today’s special: Mega Madness Weekend
Mega Madness Weekend is a “pick list” deal: choose up to five items and get 70% off when you include any Newly Mad or Still Mad release in the same cart.
This structure is valuable for filling gaps in your library because it lets you target specific older products while using one qualifying newer item to activate the discount.
To use it well, start by selecting your one Newly Mad or Still Mad item first, then add up to five eligible items you have been waiting for, and finally verify the 70% line-item discount appears before you pay.
Mad Door Prizes with code MAD-START
The Mad Door Prizes offer uses coupon code MAD-START.
With that code, you can choose any one eligible item for $2.99, or $1.99 if you have a Star.
The coupon is typically limited to one use per customer and the Door Prize discount does not stack with other offers, so treat it as a standalone “single-item” grab.
Featured character deal: Malik for Genesis 9
The promotion highlights Malik for Genesis 9 as the featured “Shooting Star” deal.
- With a Gold Star, Malik is priced at $2.99.
- With a Silver Star, Malik is priced at $4.99.
If Malik is on your list, this is one of the clearest examples of why Star status matters: the same product price changes based on Silver vs Gold.
Newly Mad and Still Mad releases
Newly Mad releases are listed at 30% off during this promo. Still Mad releases are also listed at 30% off.
- If you have a Gold Star, you get an extra 30% off Newly Mad releases and an extra 30% off Still Mad releases.
- If you have a Silver Star, you get an extra 10% off Newly Mad releases and an extra 10% off Still Mad releases.
There is also a volume incentive: buy any two or more Newly Mad items to get an extra 20% off them (and the promo lists the same extra-20% rule in the Still Mad section).
Practical tip: if you are aiming for Gold Star, spacing smaller purchases across two different days can be more effective than one larger purchase, since the Star requirement is based on how many days you bought over $1.
Mad Artist Stores and Related Madness
Mad Artist Stores include an additional stackable incentive: get an extra 50% off when you include any Newly Mad release in your cart.
The promo also states that the discount applies to licenses in those sections, which is useful if you buy add-on licenses alongside your assets.
Depending on the day, you may also see tiered markdowns by age (such as Current, Recent, Classic, and Legacy) with minimum post-discount price floors; use those tiers to decide where the deepest value is for your particular wishlist.
Cart-building tips to get the best pricing
Keep all qualifying items in the cart at the same time; some March Madness discounts only apply when items are simultaneously in the cart.
Do a quick “setup purchase” over $1 to qualify for Silver, then come back the next day for the bigger cart so the Star discount can apply.
If you want Gold Star, make two small purchases over $1 on two different days within a three-day window, then use the next day for your main order.
For Mega Madness Weekend, reserve one Newly Mad or Still Mad item as your activator, then add your five 70%-off picks and double-check the discount before checkout.
For Door Prizes, plan to use MAD-START on the single item you most want at a fixed low price, since it is usually one-time use and does not combine with other promotions.
Always review your cart totals right before paying, since DAZ 3D promos often combine multiple rules (Star status, category discounts, and quantity incentives) and the best result comes from meeting each requirement cleanly.
Conclusion
If you plan purchases across a few days, the March Madness 2026 Star system can make your bigger cart significantly cheaper by adding an extra percentage off your entire order, then layering in special deals like Mega Madness Weekend and the MAD-START Door Prize offer. Use the steps above as a checklist, prioritize the items you truly need for your renders, and confirm each discount line appears in-cart before checkout.
