Time for a pick from the many items newly released for DAZ Studio and Poser in December 2019. As usual, freebies are only featured here if they have “commercial use” or are obvious fan-art.
Science Fiction:
Greetings and Gestures for Genesis 8. Usefully generic, and especially useful for military / diplomatic type sci-fi tales.
Detail Lighting for DAZ, which appears to be ‘stick and render’. Used scaled-up, it looks useful for enhancing many types of dark sci-fi scenes.
A free David Tennant for G8M including the Hair of Awesomeness, albeit with a large number of dependencies even before you go in search of suitable Tennant-era Doctor Who clothes.
A free Robin Starfighter. It’s a bit ‘Jar Jar Binks-era Star Wars‘, but I don’t think it’s fan-art.
Also a generic but detailed Sci-Fi Landing Platform for your Starfighter craft, if textured to match.
The free U.S.S. Enterprise 1701-D for Poser Pro. Vanishing Point has being doing some saucer-sep and di-lithium crystal buffing on this, and it was updated December 2019 for Poser 11. Non-commercial use, as it’s obvious Star Trek fan-art.
Moonbeam34, a fun retro sci-fi car.
Sci-Fi Scorpion Mecha. They look like toys in the previews, but scale them up to 50ft high and they’d look more impressive.
Orchid Bio-Spaceship in .OBJ format. Original design, and not game-art, it seems.
Carrier for Poser, a sci-fi creature. Spotted last month on another site, and now on Renderosity. From a number of years ago and so you’d probably want to cover up most of the unconvincing legs via some work in the Poser Hair Room. Or you could have them as the sort of creatures that live in a semi-aquatic lakeside environment, and thus have their lower legs below the water.
Fantasy:
Red chair, free in .3DS format.
Time Princess Outfit for G8F. Doesn’t appear to be dForce.
Free Touchable Furry Tail Hair Colors for the Furry Tail, although the latter now seems to have been withdrawn from sale?
Storybook:
A free dForce Wish-List scroll.
A free “Let it Snow” Xmas Bundle, being a dForce Outfit for Paige.
Nursoda’s Fehn, made with his usual quality and value-for-money.
Nursoda’s free Folomb wormy character. Commercial use, unlike some of his earlier freebies, so you could use it in a webcomic.
Bell island for Poser by 1971s. Suitable for enhancing his various floating sky-islands.
Guardian Angel Shape and Poses for Genesis 8 Female. Called a “shape” because it has multiple dependencies including Morning Star Wings, so you’d have to do a bit of shopping and work to build the full character.
A free Swing.
The free Ice Palace set for DAZ Studio.
Innocence for the dForce G8FT Dress for G8F. Which could be paired with Household Chores – Cooking for Genesis 8, being traditional kitchen cooking poses.
Historical:
Hovel for Daz and Poser, an Iron Age hut, basically. Appears to be low-poly, so you could presumably build a village or use it add variety to an existing Iron Age scene.
dForce Classic Fur Cape and Textures Bundle.
Marmara Boat, a jaunty little 16th century coastal trading ship.
Yussef Hair Beard and Eyebrows for Genesis 8 Male.
Archaeology materials for Keyshot, and the same seller also has Ancient Stone.
Landscapes, landscape structures and plants:
MS19 Thorncrown Chapel, an unusual 21st century rural chapel.
The free Plant Collection 1 for Poser.
ShaaraMuse3D’s Modular Photo Props: Old Pier.
Easy Environments: Frozen Lake for DAZ Studio.
Flinks Snowflakes. Cold crystal fluff for your snowy scenes.
Pine Bark material, in a format that looks suitable for DAZ/Poser, with a little tweaking.
ShaaraMuse3D’s Tangle World. A spooky post-fire landscape on sandy heathland, with washed out roots.
Animals:
Deepsea’s Eagle plus Aniblocks and Texture Add-On and Poses and Fish.
CWRW Calicos for the HiveWire House Cat. Nice textures, but it would be useful for the seller to say exactly how the hair was done for the main preview render. Turns out it’s the CWRW HW House Cat LAMH Preset 1, new over at the HiveWire store. So I guess they’re not allowed to say “HiveWire” on Renderosity. The HiveWire LAMH preset is free. Which is very nice of them, and that means hair on Catula too. Though of course you’d need the Look At My Hair plugin (currently 50% off, as DAZ seems to have another large sale on now).
CWRW Exotics 1 for the HiveWire House Cat. Desert / Ancient Egyptian type cats.
DA Dragonling HD for DAZ Dragon 3. Shown here without textures so you can see what you’re getting in the model.
Multiple Cattle Breeds – a figure set for Poser. 12 distinctive cattle breeds, with animations and poses. They appear to be low-poly, so you can presumably have an animated herd in the scene.
Multiple species of Fox, with what appears to be the guide-hairs for Poser Hair Room hair.
Characters:
Combined Horse And Rider Poses for G8M.
L’Homme Male Base figure for Poser Pro 11. The new official flagship male base for Poser.
SJ Hair for Genesis 8 Female, with an interesting floaty sci-fi look and also looks like it should be fast to render.
Silent Fright Set, potentially a Christmas add-on for Lenore & the Raven if you de-saturated the textures.
Fantasy Attic’s 2019 Annual Community Christmas Gifts are still online. Includes a K4 elf outfit…
And lastly Elizabeth 2 Banana Costume for Poser. Who or what was Elizabeth 2? Turns out she’s yet another new free base figure, unofficial and launched a few weeks ago. Do we really need another female base figure? Why not just tweak the perfectly good La Femme instead?
Utilities, add-ons:
There are too many converter systems for Genesis variants now, to keep up with. Check the DAZ Store if you’re interested in converting from/to all the different Genesis types, props and poses. The next edition of DAZ Studio might usefully bypass them all, by including its own auto mega-verter plugin. Wasn’t that the original point of the Genesis system, that everything was supposed to work seamlessly with everything?
The P.A.S.S. Watercolour Shaders for Poser have turned up on the ArtStation store. For free. Suitable for Poser 10 / 2014 onward, and likely to suit advanced Poser users only. Formerly sold at RuntimeDNA.
Poser – Rule of Thirds. A simple free geometry (.OBZ) that replaces the standard Poser Depth-of-Field guide with a new version that also shows the rule-of-thirds.
FLUIDOS II for DAZ Studio. Fluids simulation plugin, faster than the first version. Windows and Mac.
