What’s new for Poser and DAZ in April 2022? Time for another survey of the new items released for Poser and DAZ Studio users. As usual, freebies are only featured if commercial use.
Science fiction:
SpecOps Helmet by Cybertenko, for M4. With various MATs.
Shadow Market. I’m guessing this may be close to fan-art, and looks Star Wars -ish. So check before commercial use in comics etc.
Intercept for Genesis 8, a futuristic fighter-pilot outfit.
Cryo Stasis Deck for DAZ Studio, which might fit well with similar items.
No steampunk this month, but a fab dieselpunk super-villain, Juggernaut for G8M.
Fantasy:
Nursoda has released an unusual one, Servants Of Apollyon. They’re one of the various monsters cryptically mentioned in the Bible, and were probably large flying locusts likened by Near East folk tradition to “little horses” in speech. Here we get an unusual ‘horse-a-locust-a-scorpion’ for Poser.
There are also free Feltlocks For Apollyon, and Poses for Nursoda’s Fehn that fit with Apollyon.
A wolf-man LoboMan for Genesis 8 Male.
Scyllah, a Scorpion Lady for G8F.
RDNA Victoria Bone Armor 1 for V4, currently free on the DAZ Store.
Meshbox’s Dungeon Halls, Walls and Doors construction kit for Poser. Old but new on the store and thus possibly now with a texture makeover?
EV Bonfire for Poser.
Iron Scale Armor for G8M, part of a range. Nicely done.
SWAN Song Violin Kit and SWAN Dance Costume Kit for G8F. Looks good, but I couldn’t get the picture previews to work on this for some reason, and the main promo is impossibly dark.
Storybook:
A free Stork Family for Central European rooftops, where they nest. Low-poly but that won’t matter to those who want to overpaint their picture-book renders.
Simple cute Easter Eggs and Fluffy Chicks.
Hr-250 from Ali, for Poser.
Animals:
Songbird ReMix: Puffins and Auks.
Also from Ken G., Songbird ReMix Australia Vol. 3, Songbird ReMix Pelicans (updated) and Songbird ReMix Jacanas. The latter being South American ‘lily trotter’ birds akin to the English coot.
Anniemation’s Flying Dove Animation for Songbird ReMix Gamebirds Vol. 3. Has a video preview and looks very well done.
Mountain Lion Poses for Big Cat 2 Cougar.
Landscape:
People:
Free L’homme Dark Glasses for Poser’s flagship male figure.
Ghostship Hair Shader System for Poser 12.
Martin Hair for Genesis 8 Males. Usefully generic and modern.
Pose Me Unique Vol.5 for G3F and G8F. Based on classic Japanese manga comic poses, and it’s building into quite a series.
French Horn and Poses for G8. Poses to have your character play the orchestral instrument.
Female Cat Walk Construction Set for fashion catwalks. Also an Animation Set. Jazz up your catwalk with the new Cyber Tunnels.
Generic G8F Walking Poses 21 to 25. Here they’re unusually modelled on idly kicking a ball about in a lacklustre manner.
MoonDust for AS Fable Hair, an unusual release for 2022, as this Aery Soul V4 hair is now totally unavailable. These are just colours. Perhaps the pack was just something someone found in a dusty drawer and decided should be out there?
Props:
Sewing Machine, a complete set for Poser. Could be useful for those who want to make a instruction manual, together with Poser’s Comic Book mode.
Free G8F Hurdles Poses and Sports Ground: Hurdles props.
A free very Low Poly Umbrella Kit for a crowd scene in the rain. One of a number of similar freebies.
Historical:
A free Norman Helmet for Micheal 8.
A free Maciejowski Helmet and Knight armor, and a Helmet Kapalin.
Also free are Helmet Crusader 1 and Helmet Crusader 2.
dForce Seljuk Turkish Princess Outfit and iRay Medieval Fantasy Shaders (Merchant Resource).
Joseon Era Hanbok for G8M and hat. I think this is Korean. South Korea is having a heritage and museum boom, as their middle-classes mature. With a small makeover I guess the hat would also suit ye olde Welsh ladies.
Mr Gibbs Hair, Eybrows and Beard for DAZ Studio, and the earlier Captain Barbossa returns. Not lawyered by the Disney megacorp, after all, but just removed by the maker for a fix. Both are free, and the beard and whiskers alone are worth having for use with other figures.
Vintage Navy Recruiting Poster Outfit for G8F. Probably needs to be paired with a skirt for the proper ‘1938’ feeling.
A complete 1960s Retro Bowling Alley for DAZ Studio.
Scripts:
Pose Me for G8F. “154 Morphs with sliders for total control of your character’s Arms, Shoulders, Hands, Fingers, Legs, Foot and Toes!”
Mesh to Volume… and Back for DAZ. Takes advantage of the volumetrics in the latest iRay, which needs the latest DAZ Studio.
Substance Painter Assistant. Said to help with sending DAZ content to Substance.
A free Collision Target Creation script for DAZ. “In DAZ you can only specify one collision target. But sometimes you want to target both skirts and shirts. Then let’s make the skirt and shirt into one object!”
Ken’s new script Figure to Prop for Poser 12. Also a DUF Morph Converter for Poser 12 (“DAZ Studio 4 DUF props/figures to existing converted PP2 files”).
Unimesh Exporter for Poser 12.
Blender to Poser automatic converter Python script.
That’s it for April. Strange how the trends go… no steampunk or toon this month.
There has been a certain cost in moving this blog from the .org domain to the .link domain, in money as well as time. If you could consider becoming my patron on Patreon then you would be very welcome. Even $1 a month is an encouragement in these difficult times. Thanks.
