Time for another round-up of selected new items which have recent appeared for Poser and DAZ. As usual freebies are only linked if they’re commercial use for renders, unless obvious fan-art. I’m also not covering every item in the G9 tidal-wave, just a few selected items.
Fantasy:
Fantasy Helmet Alpha, a G8 fantasy helmet with styling morphs.
HF Blyzzard for Genesis 8 Male. An ice-man makeover.
Steampunk:
Mad Scientist Helmet and Spectacles for Poser. Now updated for DAZ.
RetroFutur Car, a three-wheeler for DAZ.
MJ Nautilus, a fishlike steampunk submarine from Cybertenko. For Poser and DAZ. Some nice detailing, up-close.
Halloween:
Better late than never, FPE Faceless for Genesis 8, a demon pied-piper with band.
Toon:
Nola toon for Genesis 2 Female. Free.
A free Aubrie Morph Preset for A4, a semi-toon for Poser, and the maker has several others. The maker notes the morph packs, skin and hair needed for the full look.
A free Chicken costume.
Free G9 Toon Eyes. I’m guessing these could also fit other Genesis base figures.
Storybook:
Tipol’s Judith for La Femme Anime and Flossie. Clothing in a Nordic fairy-tale style.
V4\A4 Platform Sandals for Poser. See also Cozy HomeBooties for G8.
Free Crayons for DAZ Studio, and a free Cardboard box prop, for playroom make-believe.
Enclosed Side Garden Winter Add-On, with Narnia style lamp-post. Seems suitable for a storybook setting in which a garden magically changes to summer when it’s winter. You may be needing your K4’s in the new V4/A4 SnowBoots.
SY dForce Rain iRay. Rain and ripples, apparently quick to set up. Also… “you can make droplets bounce from any character or creature in your scene”.
People and poses:
The free Mary for La Femme for Poser, to take La Femme away from the default look.
La Femme Cirque Props and poses for circus scenes.
Double Bass and Poses for Genesis 8.
12 Poses for Antonia, this being the latest free Antonia version which was released last month for Poser.
Transfer Morphs Genesis,2,3,8 to G9. Maybe. Not all will work.
Animals / humanimals:
Animal Juck, ‘alien planet’ wild animals. Might also enliven a prehistoric Earth scene, for those not fussy about authenticity.
Mr Pigle, will apparently take G8 poses with some adjustments.
Nekomata Bundle for G8M. A sci-fi kitty with a Japanese influence.
He probably wants to take over the universe, rather than snuggle and scratch on the new Cat Tree for DAZ.
Landscapes:
Metal Detecting Props and detectorist hand poses, for G8.
Floating Worlds from ShaaraMuse3D.
Sub Aquatic Landscape by ShaaraMuse3D. Looks suitable for river-beds as well as oceanic scenes, and may thus be of interest to fresh-water fishermen who want to create 3D illustrations of the fish.
Fallen Leaves Tileable Ground Prop Set, Looks useful in many circumstances.
Mega Terrain: Scottish Highlands for DAZ.
Predatron African Trees and Bushes for DAZ.
Road Markings and Potholes for DAZ.

Currently free at DAZ, Vintage Aviator Textures for the G2 Vintage Aviator outfit, circa the 1930s.
Ken Gilliland’s 1920-30s Safari Camp. Likely to go well with the new free Bush Walking Track and the slighly older Jungle Props set.
Bamboo Swamp Houses, which at one time were also part of the landscape in Florida.
Free 1940’s style Oxford heels for G8F
A 1950s Vintage Projector for a James Bond / 50s noir type briefing-room.

A free Poser 11 script to tell you where you need to install your Python scripts. If you don’t install scripts frequently, it’s quite possible to forget where they have to go. There’s also a simple Windows .BAT file. Pop it into the folder with the scripts, and it will automatically detect the correct path and install any .PY scripts.
A demo of the new Runtime Scavenger for Poser 12, available at Renderosity.
A script for bigger fonts on some parts of the DAZ user interface.
Fisio: Physics Simulator, new for DAZ.
NVIDIA graphics card drivers are reported to have been fixed for most, as of 20th November, re: the problem that was causing dForce not to work in DAZ Studio. Though there may still be problems with RTX 3060 cards, according to some.
Tutorials:
Making Genesis 9 Auto-Fit Clones for G8. Also useful here may be the new freebie Genesis 9 Marvelous Designer Avatar.
