It’s nearing the end of the month, so here’s another round-up of interesting items for Poser and DAZ Studio, released since my last round-up in mid-February.
As usual, freebies are only noted if commercial-use, or if such obvious fan-art that no-one would think to use them commercially.
Science-fiction:
UniBot 09 a free retro bot for Poser. Old, but only just found by me.
Exotic chairs set for DAZ and Poser. Several with a sci-fi feel. And the big metal one is probably powered by anti-gravity.
The free Artdress for G8F has a Moebius-like sci-fi feel to it.
Steampunk:
Nautilus Boat. Simple but effective.
Rusted Metal for DAZ iRay, a merchant resource.
Scrappy the Robot for DAZ Studio.
Fantasy:
Forest Spirits, Tree and Mushroom for Genesis 9, and poses.
Great to see Poisen back. His latests packs are Evil Trees, Elden and DireStones.
Varg 8 for Daz Dog 8. A Middle-earth movies style warg for DAZ Studio. Requires DAZ Dog 8. You’ll also find new warg-riders on the DAZ Store, though they’re distinctly beefier and more Warcraft than Tolkien’s generally small and wiry orcs.
Iron Mask for G8M. A medieval-style ‘man in the iron mask’ mask.
Storybook:
A free Winter In A Bottle. A home-made snow-shaker for Christmas.
See also the free Christmas Lighthouse, which would also fit the bottle.
Wooden Mecha. Pinocchio style wooden puppet for DAZ Studio.
Old Giant Wood Blackboard Chalkboard.
The new Hr-255 hair.
Skateboarding Bundle, being skateboards and G9 poses. There are also G8 poses in other earlier packs.
Toon:
Free, Dear Me for Sakura & Genesis 8. A free (for a limited period) DAZ Studio remake of the classic Japanese Poser base-figure NearMe, aka Near Me. Near enough, by the looks of it. With DAZ you’d get the wide range of clothes and hair, but you won’t get Poser’s excellent real-time Comic Book mode. Needs G8F base (free) and Sakura 8 (currently on a 60% discount).
Update: Nope, sorry, I just cannot get this to load on Sakura 8 (or G8F) as advertised. No instructions in Documentation folder. Shaping sliders are present, but they just make a mess of Sakura. File under: “the maker knows how it works, but no-one else does”.
The unusual semi-toon Tabbie for La Femme. It doesn’t look like the hair is included, but it’s Hr-162 with a dark leopard material on it.
King Of Frogs, low-poly for M3 Low Res. Might be just what you require if you need a stage full of dancing frog-men.
Sleepy Chull, a clothing add-on for Nursoda’s recent Chull figure.
Animals:
Reindeer for DAZ Horse 3. Also comes with white fur.
Nature’s Wonders Dragonflies & Damselflies of the World Vol. 2. Requires Nature’s Wonders Dragonflies & Damselflies.
Also Nature’s Wonders Turtles of the World Vol. 2, with the same proviso.
History:
An Ice Ages Prehistoric Tar Pit for your mammoths and woolly rhino.
An old traditional Middle East Town for DAZ Studio. Perhaps founded 12th century, and decayed to the 16th.
The Celestial Corsair for DAZ. A 16th-17th century sailing ship with a variety of MATs.
Boat 65, a free Pacific style rafter.
A free Old tobacco pipe.
Wolmol has a fine range of free SuperFly MATS for his railway models and rail sets.
A floppy Arah3D Lucky Hat, also looking suitable for a 19th century milkmaid etc.
An Elegant Billiard Room from the mid/late Victorian era.
A free Vintage dForce sailor dress and jacket for G8F, and Vintage sailor hat.
Apollo Mission Control room, for Poser.
Shaders, materials:
Feeling like going out on the terrace, in the first warm spring sunshine? You’ll be needing the Soda Pop! Shaders. 20 shaders for pop drinks, as DAZ .DUF files. You may also be needing some Orange Juice and a pair of fab sunglasses.
Character poses and presets:
Free G8F Saucy Sitting Poses.
Two Gun Man Pose Bundle for G3M and G8M. Two-gun ‘action movie’ poses.
British TV buffs will recall Patrick Macnee as John Steed and Diana Rigg as Emma Peel. Together they were the British Avengers in the 1960s. Both free, but requires M3 Low-Res.
Utilities, plugins, software:
A free 7 Color Color Ramp for Poser SuperFly.
MAT Tiler for Poser 12. There’s a Demonstration video on YouTube.
PD Howler 2023 is now on the DAZ Store.
Tutorials:
Horror Lighting: A Definitive Guide.
The free G’MIC for Photoshop now has its digital camera emulation filters all documented.
That’s it for this month. As always, a few dollars for my Patreon will be of great help in these difficult times.
