Smith Micro is putting on a free online seminar (or ‘webinar’) on 11th April 2013. It’s part two of Steve Cooper’s “Getting Started in 3D with Poser”, and looks at the real basics…

* what’s in the included free content and how to find it

* how to pose and dress both Miki and Tyler, and customize them

* the basics of rendering, turning your 3D scene into a 2D picture.

You can get a feel for the webinar format by looking at the archived webinars, including part one of “Getting Started in 3D with Poser”.

There’s a new 3D Art magazine podcast: an interview with Paolo Ciccone, author of the new Reality 3 rendering plugin for Poser, which links Poser to the free LuxRender rendering engine.

Reality 3 + Poser image.

After a long wait Reality 3 for Poser is actually available to buy now, with a $20 discount until the 5th of May 2013!

DAZ Studio users already have Reality 2 available now, with Reality 3 for DAZ Studio announced but not yet dated as far as I know. I’m guessing possibly August 2013?

Vue 11: Renderosity review

A Renderosity staffer reviews Vue Xtream 11, the top version of the natural landscape rendering software. The blurb for the lesser Vue 11 Studio version ($399) claims… “extended DAZ Studio and Poser integration” and that it will “Load and render Poser characters”. Hopefully that latter feature isn’t limited to the 64-bit version, as it was in Vue 10.

Imploo Explorer spacesuit

A very nice new semi-toon spacesuit, Imploo Explorer, for the new Imploo character. Personally I’m not keen on the Imploo, it lacks something when compared to the appeal of Nursoda’s creations and the skin textures are Poser-only. The developer obviously has great hopes of it, but I can’t see it catching on if neither the textures nor the poses work in DAZ.

But this is a great suit, and it should hopefully be adaptable to other DAZ Studio or Poser characters with Crossdresser if there’s an Imploo licence or a close preset…

I’d love to see it officially made available for other semi-toon characters too.

Just released, a new standalone DAZ / Poser figure from Nursoda, Brulba…

Love the “ancient shaman” look, but I’d also love to see a more futuristic “sci-fi” look for him from a third-party.

Posted in Carrara, Companion software, Spotted in the News Leave a comment

Hot from the Carrara Cafe! News that DAZ Carrara 8.5 is to be released at the end of summer 2013, with Carrara 9 set to follow perhaps Christmas 2013 or in the first quarter of 2014.

Carrara 8.5 will include…

– Support for up to Windows 8 and Mac OSX 10.8
– DSON support
– Metadata support
– New animation tools (keyframe tool improvements, smoothing, keying every frame, etc.)
– Graph editor improvements
– Improvements to viewport avatars (Lights – spotlight, sun, moon, etc. Cameras – conical, isometric, etc.)
– Improved bullet simulation for soft bodies

Update: ok, they were perhaps a little ambitious on the timeline for the version 9 date, which has now been and gone. 🙂
