An Xmas Day present, found for readers, Dragon’s Breath has a free sci-fi outfit for Star! for Poser…

Freebie: V4, she grows on you…
Want to test your new Superfly render engine in Poser 11? There’s a fabulous new freebie for V4 lovers. V4 Dryad conforming figure for Poser…
“Dryad is a new figure that works inside a standard V4 model. Combined with the V4 materials, it produces a unique character for all your fantasy/nature renders. Includes Dryad Conforming figure, and V4 leafy textures.”
Poser freebies – the monsters of D&D
Poser set of the best Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game creatures. Currently being created, the last addition was a few days ago. For non-commercial use only, obviously, but good for making some fun fan art — especially with Poser 11’s excellent new graphic-novel / comic book mode.
If you look in ‘Characters’ there’s also a Stormtrooper for M4…
New content for Poser and DAZ users, November/December 2015
So, what’s landed in the Poser and DAZ Studio stores, since my last survey? I’ve spotted the following quality and/or unusual new content, in November and early December:—
Semi-toon experts 3D Universe have a big new Little Ones series for Genesis 3 male/female, which are a range of semi-toon kids suitable for storybook illustration work and more. Complete with a variety of play spaces and equipment. Doubtless they’ll soon have a wide range of similar semi-toon add-ons…
Over on Renderosity there are Canvas Shoes for G3 females, which would suit the new Little Ones characters, though their textures are too clean and the rubber/laces will probably need some “slightly scuffed and worn” modifications…
There are a few nice retro items this month. The Old Barn, for instance, which also comes with a New Barn preset…
And there’s a Between Sunflowers scene, which might become a foreground for the Barn…
The barn could perhaps be the location of some redneck fisticuffs that provoke a boxing match? In which case you’d want the new Vintage Boxing Bundle, including props, characters and equipment…
There’s also a classic English horse rider outfit Equestrian Uniform for Genesis 3 Female, which could be useful for those who have the many excellent horses that have recently appeared for DAZ/Poser users…
What’s new in science fiction this month? EXO Suit for Genesis 3 Females and its EXO Suit Textures pack…
The new Planet Explorer for Genesis 2 Male…
The popular sci-fi HFS Wraith Suit is now available for Genesis 2 and 3 characters…
And the AntFarm’s Heavy Mech is about as characterful as a faceless heavy-bot can get, short of being run through the Pixar character-design labs…
Not much for superhero fans this month, other than a few more pose sets and some so-so costumes. Though The AntFarm has a usefully-generic large background scene for spies and superheros, Hydro Locks…
Surprisingly not from The AntFarm is 4NT-MkIII, a new robot ant which would be suitable for an Ant-Man a-like superhero to ride…
Also in the superhero mode, though toony, is Stryke Angel for the popular Star! toon character…
Meant to be Fallout post-apocalyptic, but Coflek-gnorg’s Falloutic Christmas Trees 3D Models could pass for steampunk with a few tweaks and extra steampunked baubles…
With the big new Doctor Strange movie coming in 2016, in the coming months there’s probably going to be many more like Poisen’s JavaNomicon coffee pots and cups. With a quality shiny-metal finish these might become amusingly steampunkish when paired with an Edwardian tearoom scene…
Vue users have a very detailed mangrove tree set, done in the Star Wars Degobah style (warning, description contains a big plot spoiler, if you somehow haven’t yet seen the original Star Wars trilogy)…
Oddly, the only two new Poser/DAZ animals this month might be found lurking in the above mangrove swamp. The Songbird ReMix has a new range of odd looking Frogmouths, Nightjars & Goatsuckers…
And there’s the Wolf 2.0 by AM for DAZ Studio. Surprisingly its fur doesn’t appear to need a plugin, as it comes “complete with fur”.
That’s all, more in the New Year!
Digital Art LIVE #3
Ahead of the release of the big sci-fi movie, the special “Galaxy far away…” themed issue of the free Digital Art LIVE is now available. This IS the magazine you’re looking for!
Also, there’s the Digital Art LIVE Xmas Party (online), book now!
Vue Star Wars fan art contest
Vue users have a new The Force Awakens! Star Wars competition (link has spoilers for the new movie!). Star Wars fan artists should use their 3D skills (and, I guess, Vue) by making new artwork on the theme “The Force Awakens”. However, the rules also say…
“This is a generic Star Wars fan art contest, your artwork doesn’t have to be themed only on the Force Awakens (Episode 7) movie!”
Deadline is Sunday 3rd of January 2016. 1 entry per person. First prize is VUE xStream 2015, PlantFactory Producer 2015, and a 1 year CClub Membership.
