It’s time for the monthly survey of the most eye-catching, possibly useful and interesting new goodies, as released for Poser and DAZ Studio in the last month.
As usual, freebies are not covered here if “non-commercial use”, unless obvious fan-art.
Science-fiction:
Colony Subway, which could perhaps double as a Hyperloop interior.
Space Agencies Pack 2 for FA FireBlade vehicle for Poser.
A new Ali “Hr-” hair, Hr-239 which looks quite suitable for science-fiction.
EArkham’s ZWorld Beast from Below. Could also be a shoreline scavenger on an alien planet, which would mean that you could hide the hands in shallow water.
The Beast from Below is probably lurking near the new Underground Bunker, from a name new to me, Dekogon Studios.
Steampunk:
Need a helmet for your helicopter pilot? Steam Punk Hats for Genesis 8.
Steam Drone for Poser.
The Strange Man Characters and Hair Set for Genesis 8 Male. Requires Strange Man.
Frankenstein Laboratory for DAZ Studio.
Cybertenko’s Instant Zombies 6: Human Experiments. Including steampunk elements.
Free Modular Facial Hair for G8M.
A free Camera and tripod.
Michael 3 1800’s, an M3 outfit.
England’s Glory Vintage Matchbox for Blender.
Storybook:
And for pudding, a yummy 41 Food Shaders for the kids.
The free Young Child Pose 4 – 13 and 4-1) from bbarbs. Requires Just Kids 4.
The free Weatherman’s Home for DAZ Studio, a storybook fantasy home.
Historical:

There are matching Saloon Gal Bloomers for Poser at PoserWorld. For V2(!), but could be converted with the free CrossDresser.

Need to make your Ancient Egypt scenes pop even more? Bring on the Egyptian Elephant Warrior for African Elephant. Requires African Elephant Updated which needs the African Elephant.
Hippogryph Add-on for the HiveWire Horse.
A fine free Morphing Fishing Rod For DAZ Studio.
Animations and Poses for the HiveWire Mule Deer and Caribou.
Landscape:
Hawthorn Trees for DAZ Studio and iRay.
Forest Path Vignette. Simple, but nicely done.
ShaaraMuse3D’s Photo Props: Crystal Clusters.
Poser 12 and Python 3:
Poser 12 Early Access (upgrade) is now on the Renderosity Store. If you need the full Poser 12, save yourself $50 by first getting the Poser 11 NeoWin deal, and then use the licence to get the upgrade to 12. Be aware that 12 is not yet properly released, and you may want to stick with 11 for a few months.
A free Swimsuit for La Femme, who ships free with Poser 12. And a free Shape of Fifi: Youthful character for La Femme.
The free P12 Script Starter, a customisable panel for loading Poser 12 scripts.
A Poser 12 fix for the depth-of-field script.
Parent Lister. Shows a quick list of what your figure is parented to.
Useful for comics makers and over-painters are the updated Color Me White (strip all materials) and Color Me Random for Poser 12.
Utilities:
Spring Dynamics for DAZ Studio from 3D Universe. Can save and load presets.
Genesis 3 & 8 Face Controls. A non-rendering face-control plate. Overkill if you just want basic eye-control, but perhaps you can turn some of them off.
Instancify. Turns repeating props into instances, to save memory when rendering. There’s also the little “convert instances to props” script Instances to Objects that goes the other way, turning DAZ’s instances into proper props (vital when exporting to Reality, Poser, Vue, Blender etc).
Pixeluna’s SkinDesignS for Genesis 3 and 8 Females. Easily applied tattoos.
MK Facial Asymmetry Morphs for Genesis 8 Male.
A set of free pose-transfer utilities:
* G3M: M4/Hiro4/Freak4 to G3M; and the reverse G3M Pose Transfer to M4/H4/F4
* G3F: V4/A4 to G3F, and the reverse G3F to V4/A4.
* G8M: M4/Hiro4/Freak4 to G8M, and the reverse with G8M to M4/H4/F4.
