Right then, so it’s time to get the Poser/DAZ New Content Survey back on track. My last such survey being at the end of January 2020. What new content and scripts for DAZ Studio and Poser have caught my eye in the four months of February-May 2020?
As usual, freebies are only featured here if they’re commercial-use.
Science fiction:
CyBody – Cyborg Internal Structure for G8F.
Need a guard for your Sci-fi Tower? Space Runner Outfit for Genesis 8 Female and Flyboard Action Poses for Genesis 8 Male for the FlyBoard.
Or an infiltrator in the Tower? CosHero for Genesis 8 Male. There’s also an earlier Poser version of this.
Or you could just teleport to the Tower. Teleport Station. Nice work, but you’d need to check it against all variants of the Star Trek teleporter room before using commercially.
Need a teleporter FX? The new SY Invisible for Genesis 8.
In the jungles below the Tower, BugHunters for M4. Probably needs a different camo for an alien planet, though. And some wrist protection.
Your bughunter may need to be packing the AER Future Firearms: Energy Weapons.
Sixus1’s Retrospace Bundle of 1940s pulp-era sci-fi outfits.
Pulp SciFi Pistol I and Pulp SciFi Pistol II.
Jepe’s WonderPlantZ. Fabulous alien plants with a ‘gas-floater’ feel.
Data Processor DS, a retro ‘1980s pop video’ set. It shouldn’t be impossible to replace to the big monitors with something sleeker and more futuristic, though. Or even strange glowing orbs or techno-eyes.
Masks v003 MMKBG3 for DAZ Studio.
Sci-fi City modules, for free in .OBJ.
Easy Snap Universal Sea Habitat. See also the new Scene Mastery Tutorial : Underwater.
Sci-fi Hair for G3F and G8F, in the Gerry Anderson UFO to Tron Legacy style. You may also want the Cyber Neon Catsuit for Genesis 8 Female.
A Syd Mead-like Space Buggy.
Raffy Raffy has a fine new Moon lunar landscape, although for Blender rather than Vue.
Sci-fi Truck & Trailer for Poser.
Roaring out of the back of that sci-fi truck… the Desert Storm Alpha off-road vehicles. Got to get your adventurer team through the wilds of Whereizitagin to the Lost City somehow…
Secrets of Danaides Poses for Genesis 8, a useful set of explorer/investigator poses.
Fantasy and SciFi Fast Render Lights for DAZ Studio.
Steampunk:
It’s been a rich period for new steampunk content.
Grandpa’s Room by 1971s. Nicely strange, although I hope it’s not fan-art like his Balmora buildings series. Let’s hope Grandpa’s Room is the first in a similar series. I might be inclined to make it weirder still, and add the cat head from Catoon (see below) while moving the glowing disk down.
Photographer Automaton and Photographer Automaton Poses. He also has a Paperboy, Boat Captain and Solicitor.
Paperboy might be reworked as a fairground fortune-teller?
Punching Bag and Striker Game.
Iron Horse for Poser and DAZ Studio. Jet-powered! Yeee-haw!
“Son, yerr gunna need an eye-patch to ride that hoss…”
dForce Plague Doctor for Genesis 8 Male. Very impressive.
A steampunk Elevator For DAZ Studio.
Fantasy:
The Miyazaki-like Abandoned station for Poser by 1971s. Superb. Also available for DAZ Studio.
Valley Guardian. Rather nice Miyazaki-like stone ruins from The AntFarm, though distinctly over-priced.
Trumpet of the Dead Mushrooms and Wooley Milk Cap Mushrooms for free in .OBJ. Nicely made freebies.

Whimsical Girls for Genesis 8 Female.

Toon:
Ronk, another superb Nursoda figure for Poser. And some free textures.
Vespa APE, for free in .3DS format. It’s French rather than British but is potentially a vehicle for Ronk.
Hamlet 3D, a toon piglet for Poser and DAZ.
Artephius Magnus for Ollie 8 for G8M. Similar to Nursoda’s Dr. Pitterbill, but for G8.
Catoon, a semi-toon cat with a human-like body. Great face, not so keen on the body. Perhaps needs to have it covered with a long trenchcoat and made into a gumshoe ‘private-investigator cat’.
Glasses v001 MMKBG3, including a ‘comedy disguise’ set.
Base figures:
The V.2 versions are out, for the flagship Poser 11/12 figures.
L’Homme Pro – V.2 for Poser.
Also fairly ‘base’ is Dain 8 for G8M, with lots of variants.
