It’s that time of the month again. What new items did I notice for DAZ Studio and Poser, in July 2021? Mostly DAZ and Poser, though this month there’s also a few Vue, Carrara and Blender items.
The DAZ Store is still giving problems even when paginated and with only the one tab open — ‘out-of-memory’ crashes on a workstation with masses of RAM. No other site acts like this. There came a point where I had to give up on browsing back through the store, so a few items may have missed consideration this month. Maybe the problem is the Opera browser, but it shouldn’t be as that runs on a standard Chrome base.
Science-fiction:
Stonemason’s Core.
A holo-stimbed for Poser and DAZ.
A synthwave scene maker for Poser and DAZ. Unusual, and presumably you could make your own extender kits.
1971’s new Sci-Fi Modular Hangar for Poser and also separately for DAZ.
RaffyRaffy’s new Martian surface for Blender.
Tigaer’s free Abstract Organic Alien 3D Shapes and you can also buy commercial-use.
SY Liminal Pools, suitable for sci-fi scenes.
Steampunk:
A free Love Seat for DAZ Studio.
A free Steampunk unicycle, possibly fan-art.
A mid 19th century period Stockroom.
Halloween:
Android Mummies in .FBX format.
Fantasy:
TheAntFarm’s new Fantasy Tents set and Textures.
Yee-haw… T-Rex with a saddle for Poser.
A Feligalodon, a fantasy flying-fish to accompany your travellers on a sea voyage to the Nethermost Rim of Yaan.
Toon:
A new 3D Universe figure Stylized ’21 Character and Hair. There’s also a larger male/female bundle.
16 quality free poses for Darkseal’s Fire Sprite Demon.
Storybook:
Child fashion magazine poses and expressions for G8F. Requires the ‘Growing Up’ pack(s) for G8F.
Fairy Tale Props including a gingerbread house.
A free Travel Snail for DAZ Studio.
Landscape:
Flinks Rolling Hills – Translucent Grass for Poser, and he has several similar packs this month. Also ShaaraMuse3D’s Photo Props: Baseplant Construction Set with 75 Poser plant props at a very reasonable price.
Captain Jack’s Little Island, with hammock. You may also be wanting Martin J. Frost’s Vue Seaweed Bundle for Vue, for this.
AppleJack’s AJ Abandoned Place 5.
Ancient Stones – Rock and Moss Shaders.
Docking position presets, Dock My Boat for Smugglers Yacht and Two-Boat Dock.
Animals:
Great Horned Owl for DAZ Studio.
Ken Gilliland’s Nature’s Wonders: Cicadas of the World.
Ken Gilliland’s Songbird ReMix Australia Vol. 4.
The Alchemist has released four packs for fly-fishing anglers – poses, clothes, fish and gear.
Historical:
Wolfgang 8.1 Scallywag Bundle for DAZ Studio. Loads of other pirate items on the DAZ Store this month, and also masses of mermaids.
A dForce Priest G8M in full ceremonial robes. They look authentic, though I’m not sure if they are. Also a matching Church interior.
A free 1930’s Microphone for DAZ Studio.
Classic U.S. Army Jeep for Poser and add-ons.
Predatron has new Second World War planes and ground support.
A free 1950s hot-rod Statler V8 8.6 CSC and G8M poses.
A free vintage Gasoline Pump.
The Drunken Crab, a small and rather too shiny British pub interior. Needs a worn makeover texture set.
Characters and clothing:
Standalone Egan with Hair and Outfit and DAZ Carrara files. Also fiber-brows and “built-in anatomical elements”.
A usefully generic modern NM Hair Adam. Anyone know which face preset is being used here?
HD Violin and Poses for Genesis 3 and 8. Also Chinese Erhu and Poses for Genesis 3 and 8.
Emphasized Visemes for G8F. These are the mouth shapes made when speaking, and it looks like this pack would be useful for those who do lip-sync and want more enunciation.
A usefully generic dForce Track Suit outfit for G8F.
Clothing Wrinkles Alphas for ZBrush.
Scripts:
Mac Poser users now have an equivalent of the famous Snap To mover script, and working on both Poser 11 and 12. Ockham’s earlier Snap To script was previously Windows only due to the use of Tkinter in the script (blame Apple, not Poser). Thanks to adp001 for the finished new script, who invites feedback at this forum thread.
Cloth Presets Script for Poser 11 and Poser 12.
At last, a Quick Scripts access addon for Blender.
A fun Cactify cactus-generator for Blender.
Tutorials:
Artbreeder for Visual Storytelling.
Lighting Up the Night: Special Lighting for Dark Scenes in DAZ Studio.
Sci-fi Scene Building: Exploring Sci-fi Art Creation in DAZ Studio.
That’s it for this month, more picks soon!
