What was new for Poser and DAZ, and related software, during April 2025? Here’s my personal survey of choice items, appearing since by last post on 4th April.
Science-fiction:
XI Cyber Hackers Room for DAZ.
KuJ Transporter for DAZ. And KuJ Headquarters / landing bay.
Lantressa Outfit for Genesis 9.
Underwater City in a sort of ‘1980s TV series’ style.
Steampunk:
Powerage’s complete Steampunk LAB for Daz Studio.
Fantasy:
Poisen’s new Nirvana set for Poser and DAZ. Combine the flat 3D objects into new and unique designs in 3D.
Cerberus HD – The Hound of Hades plus poses.
Halloween:
‘Lovecraft’ by KitBash3D is a new mega-set of quality 3D models, allowing you to fully recreate Innsmouth or some other creepy New England town from the master’s imagination.
A free Modular Concrete Wall with crude graffiti-scrawl. Also a free Industrial Gates Collection.
Currently free on DAZ, The Garbage Pile. A suitable spot for the entrance to some forgotten secret crypt or suchlike.
IBL Unlimited – Lighting Variety for Daz Studio. Dramatic lighting styles, suited to horror.
Storybook:
1971s’s Seaside town for Poser, and also available separately for DAZ. His work always looks good in Poser Comic Book line-art.
Horse Drawn Carriage in an Eastern European fantasy style.
Free Bead Animals.
Free, JK’S Room, a children’s loft-room. Plus a free morphing pillow prop for Poser.
A toon Stylized Pack in .FBX format.
Mole Arcade Game. A Whack-a-mole game for DAZ.
Figures and poses etc.
Alpha King body textures and armour props for Sanctum Art’s RD Phenotype 003 (ALPHA). The latter is off-the-market so far as I know, but those who have him may want this pack of extras,
G9 upgrade head morphs and specific actor head morphs.
Smoking Poses 2 and Props for DAZ.
Free Flying G8 poses, for superheroine G8s. Plus free Capes and Cloaks dForce G8F.
Animals:
Songbird ReMix: Birds of the Mesozoic. Prehistoric feathered birds, that are not scaly dinosaurs!
Nature’s Wonders: Turtles of the World Vol. 3, including the European pond type.
Low Poly Zebras, so you can animate herds of them.
A complete Fishing Rod set with bits and bobs. Plus PW Boathouse and a no-frills modern Fishing Kayak. Perhaps good for making ‘how to fish’ tutorials?
Landscapes:
XI African Wildlands desert gorge for DAZ. Also of use for emulating various videogame scenes in deserts.
PW Subterranean River for DAZ.
Stonemason’s new A Village by the Sea.
Jet aircraft vapour-trails as free .OBJs.
Large High Voltage Pylon, free.
Ship Wakes Vol. 1, free.
From Above: Low Poly Forest. Possibly useful for rendering tabletop RPG adventure-settings.
A free Wheelbarrow Update.
Historical:
Quetzalcoatlus by AM, a very ugly prehistoric ‘proto-bird’.
Holy Family Bundle with Nativity scene. You’d need to scale up Joseph, since Mary would have been smaller than him.
Horse Drawn American Pioneer Waggon.
Second World War German Flak Cannon for use during air-raids.
Scripts and helpers:
G3/G8/G9 Pose Converter Plugin for DAZ Studio 4.2x, free.
Software:
Release: DAZ Studio 2025 alpha.
Release: Lightwave 2025, with new and rather crude-looking lineart tooning capabilities.
Paint + 3D software PD Howler 2023, currently full and free. The current version is 2025. Windows 10 or higher.
Free video editor DaVinci Resolve 2025 update, now with many AI assistant tools.
Stable Diffusion:
“I battled through 20,000 anime girls… so you don’t have to” has updated, noting the worthy new artistic add-ons (‘LORAs’) for Stable Diffusion 1.5 and 2.1 768.
SDXL image-generation models are huge. So where are the handy .torrent files, for those with slow or frequently-dropped Internet connections? Almost nowhere to be found, regrettably. But there are two handy torrents at Archive.org, for the basic RealVisXL v50 Lightning with baked VAE, and Realism Engine SDXL v3.0 with VAE. Which should at least save you the hazards of some 30Gb of downloading. Also there on a .torrent is the SD 1.5 photographer’s model Photon v1, a great starter model for those new to SD.
Saving the ShareCG freebies:
Recently the popular and venerable 3D freebies site ShareCG, specialising in Poser and DAZ, was taken offline by new owners. Here are some links to free community backups.
SHARECG-backup mega-torrent with item pages containing instructions and tips. Help with seeding the .torrent would be appreciated, since Archive.org has not picked it up and seeded it as expected. Includes all of DryJack’s starter freebies for his vintage British railways items, among a great many others.
PhilC’s free scripts and software at ShareCG, saved at Archive.org.
Flufz’s freebies at ShareCG, saved at Archive.org.
ShareCG Download Project – Poser and Daz Studio Free Resources Wiki.
Bryce Material Collection re-uploaded to Renderosity Freestuff.
Some is also being slowly uploaded to Renderosity Freestuff by several prolific makers.
All links on my Poser scripts page(s) have been updated accordingly.
That’s it for now, expect another survey or two during the summer.
