Time for another monthly round-up the “what’s new” content for Poser and DAZ users. Here’s my pick of the goodies released in July 2023.
Science-fiction:
Colony Greenhouse by Coflek-Gnorg. For Poser and DAZ.
A free Sci-Fi Gun.
Nifty for Tikki the Tiger. For a somewhat sci-fi cyber tiger kitten. They’re the height of fashion on Altair III, dontcah’know… (Requires Tikki the Tiger for Moshi the Kitten).
Steampunk:
Victorian Flying Saucer for Poser and DAZ. Nice work, simple but effective. Also has interiors and poses.
A generic Jacket 002 from MightyMite, for G8M. Suitable for airship crew and the like. Or possibly even the crew of a Victorian Flying Saucer.
Steampunk Tools and Machinery, not new but currently free at DAZ. Vital tools for the Victorian Flying Saucer, I’d suggest.
A retro-future Giant Hovercraft. Might be able to be retro-fitted to be steampunk?
Fantasy:
LI Corpus Crystallum for Genesis 9.
Nature’s Throne for DAZ Studio. With Autumn / Fall material.
Felicia Ginela for G8F, an elf with what looks to be an excellent skin texture.
A free Mushroom Hat for G9.
Free Fantasy Lute Poses for G8F. And the Medieval Lute.
Barbarian Bundle for DAZ Studio. Or “gym guy”…
See also the new Barbarian-friendly Fantasy Interior set for Poser from 1971s.
Halloween:
Beholder Materials for iDemon for iRay. This is a Dungeons and Dragons toon monster, and renders would class as fan-art.
Photo Props: Singing Bowls, which could be of use for ‘Mystic Meg’ style Halloween pictures. See the new dforce XI Old Hag Outfit for Genesis 9.
A simple free Ouija board with Latin and Russian letters.
Figures, poses and clothes:
A usefully generic Corner desk workstation with computer.
M3 Extreme, morphs for M3 low-res. Especially suitable for when you want an army of similar low-poly figures in the middle-distance of your scene. Free.
A free Flatten Ears Morph For Genesis 9. “Ears, begone!” Sort of. It flattens them against the head. Possibly useful if they’re sticking out of a helmet.
A free Athletics High Jump Prop, DAZ Studio and .OBJ file.

Currently free at DAZ, an Einiosaurus dinosaur.
New Bearrific Poses for AM Brown Bear.
A free Modern bottle for DAZ. Could be used for ‘mini beast’ collecting and observing?

A free Spring flowerwreath for V4 / A4.

Ancient Roman Kitbash I – walls of antiquity.
Ancient XI Roman Forum. Also new Roman accessories and outfits, on the DAZ Store.
