3D World magazine deigns to glance at the hobbyist sector for once in a blue moon, with a new review of the Reality 2 plug-in for DAZ Studio. If you have lots of older Poser content in your DAZ, and run your PC with an Nvidia graphics card, then (judging by the review) it looks like you might want to test Reality 2 carefully before buying.

“They often say that love happens the moment you lay eyes on that special someone for the very first time. It’s as if the stars were perfectly aligned and the two of you were destined to meet in order to share eternity with one another.

Phenotype Havoc poses
A new free poses set for the superb R.D. Phenotypes set of characters by Sanctum Art. Specifically for the 002 Havoc monster figure. Although I guess they may also fit the others too, such as the awesome Phenotype werewolf (called “Horde” for some reason). Sadly the Phenotype characters are no longer sold.
