Slightly late, my survey of interesting new items from April and a bit of May 2021. For Poser and DAZ Studio, and few for Substance Painter or in .OBJ and thus easy to get to Vue. Plus some Blender.
Science-fiction:
M4 Patrick Stewart for Poser, via a ZBrush head morph. He was the Star Trek commander who came after Captain Kirk. No need for hair, which is nice. Obviously not for commercial use.
Free “Plug In limbs” for Genesis 8 Male and Female for DAZ Studio. “Does not contain robot parts” but is said to be “useful for attaching robotic appendages to the characters”.
For hibernation sleep on deep-space colony voyages, the Sleep-Sack for G8M and G8F.
Vehicles:
Future Bike, a new fantasy sci-fi motorcycle.
A free Mad Max style SpedBike monocycle in .OBJ format.
Soup up your SpedBike with Coflek-gnorg’s new Techno Tribes poles.
A complete modern Motorschlitten (Snowmobile) for Poser, with sled and many MAT options.
A free two-part dirt racetrack for scrambler bikes, junior speedway and suchlike. Part 1 and Part 2. DAZ Studio and also .OBJ so it can be used with other software such as Poser and Vue.
Storybook:
Ice Cream for DAZ Studio.
Free Cute Monster Legs for the Cute Monster. Or, more interestingly, for the above ice-creams. Runaway ice-creams on a hot day, now there’s a children’s storybook idea for you.
A free seat that could be retextured in playroom pastels. Or used as-is as a seat for the toon tortoise, seen below.
Toon:
Tank the Cartoon Tortoise, a new 3D Universe figure. For some reason they have not included 3Delight materials, just iRay.
Ninja Sprite One for All pose-set for the Ninja Sprite. Judging from the previews, for both male and female variants.
People and clothing:
A free Bed with dForce Blankets, with commercial use. 150Mb. Very generous of Sadrielxv, as this could have been sold commercially at $10.
The free Sheldrake for M4. Not sure who this is meant to be, but obviously an American screen celeb who does noir detective-type stories.
Aged Van Damme Megapack for Genesis 1 and up.
Fred for L’Homme. Both head and neck morphs, lightweight at a 2Mb download. L’Homme is the flagship male that ships with Poser 11 and 12, and the companion of La Femme.
See also the rather more expensive Stan L’Homme from character expert Tempesta3d. Great to see an older male from her.
Historical:
The Western Knight Series 01 for Genesis 8 Males. A classic Prince Hal-style storybook knight.
Wizard Beard, seemingly also with eyebrows.
6 Medieval Farm Scythe and Sickles in .OBJ and .FBX formats. Low-poly, so your slavering mob of yokels can be waving them dementedly at the local wizard.
The Colosseum, a giant Roman Arena for DAZ Studio.
Pole Station for DAZ Studio. A classic 1960-60s Cold War type station, of the type that finds something frozen in the ice.
Animals and related landscapes:
HiveWire3D now has their store up, on Renderosity. See also Ken Gilliland’s Store for his Songbird Remix series and more – such as Dragonflies and Tortoises (sold as “Turtles”).
AM’s Woolly Mammoth rigged with fur and rebuilt for Blender.
A free Roadrunner Run Animation for the Songbird ReMix Roadrunner bird.
Has your cat had too much catnip? Add even more bounce to your 3D cat’s day with Spring Thing.
Flink’s Pine Forest for Poser. And a Nordic Lumberyard from ShaaraMuse3D.
My Camel Camelia animations pack.
Free Side Saddle Tack for the HiveWire Horse.
Shaders and special materials:
Free Poser Wax for Firefly and Superfly. Waxy candle materials.
Hi-res Cobweb Effect Maker by ShaaraMuse3D for Poser and DAZ Studio.
30 Ropes and Cables Base Material for Substance Painter.
Utilities, extras, plugins:
Noir Cyberpunk HDRIs for DAZ Studio. For a stark b&w look.
Light Dots for Poser 12, Note, Poser 12 and not 11. The new Poser 12 scripts are not backwards compatable.
Scatter Tool II for Poser 12. Glad I got the Poser 11 version from the Hivewire moving-house sale, as it seems it’s ‘Poser 12 only’ now. Update, June 2021: the 11 version is now on Renderosity.
A YouTube preview for the new IK Manager for Poser 12, offering “a much easier and centralized way of controlling IK on figures, and also allowing visual cues to what parts have IK on or off at any time”. The new script is now on Renderosity for $12. Poser 12 only, note.
MOM 3D Crowd Generator. Similar to the older 2D billboards version, but this one uses low-poly 3D figures.
Tutorials:
Fantasy Taverns: A Workshop on Multi-Character and Atmospheric Scenes in DAZ Studio.
iRay Lighting Solutions Tutorial Set for DAZ Studio.
Sixus1 has a new Painting With Texture tutorial, for 2D painters and overpainters.
Ok, that’s it for now. More as we head into the summer.
