Instant Meshes, a free interactive re-mesher for Windows, Mac and Linux. Apparently also used for automatic retopology by the Modo software, though here a dedicated and relatively simple bit of 3D software.

Release: AYON 1.0
AYON 1.0, an open source pipeline / workflow suite for 3D content / VFX creation and production for small studios. It connects your content-creation tools to project management widgets, and uses a unified Web-browser UI that looks a bit like Trello. It’s all Python, so theoretically it could talk to Poser. It doesn’t appear to do so at present.
Release: Clip Studio 2.3
I don’t normally notice Clip Studio releases. Sure it’s comics production software (yay!), but it’s also just very annoyingly fiddly and complex. Just not pleasant to use. Yet I see that 2.3 has some changes of possible interest to Poser users…
* Lots of improvement to the ‘dummy’ 3D figure’s movement and user manipulation. More IK-like behaviours, and joint rotation widgets.
* .FBX import of a static 3D model now loads “with applied normal maps”.
Also the usual fixes for the vital things they broke in the last update. Such as… “vector layers are no longer misaligned when pasted”.
