iClone 4.2 Pro for free
iClone 4.2 Pro for free, currently on a free cover-disk with the leading British PC magazine PC Pro (Jan 2013 edition). I’ve looked at the blurb in the magazine itself, on a news-stand, and it appears to be the full uncrippled version. iClone, for those who don’t know, is the excellent real-time 3D software (no rendering time, as it runs on a videogame engine). It takes a little learning, but no more than DAZ Studio does, and the learning resources are vastly better than for DS.
It’s perfectly possible to create excellent results once you know what you’re doing with it. Here’s a couple of my iClone real-time renders…
Monstrous freebie
Cool free original toon sci-fi character, for Poser. Sam-anime…

BioLight for free
“BioLight” is currently free on the DAZ Store…
It’s a Poser-only set of special glow MATs for the Terrors of the Deep: Jellyfish pack. It only works in Poser / Poser Pro 2014, and then only with “IDL/Raytracing enabled” activated in your render settings.
One of the things I love about iClone is that glow can be applied incredibly easily and quickly (like, one second). It can be applied to any object, and the glow realistically floods outside the boundaries of the object geometry. By comparison, a similar glow in DAZ Studio or Poser is usually either almost impossible or just a complete chore to achieve. It can be done in Carrara, but it’s a very convoluted set of fiddly steps to get it working. And even if you can get it to work, it increases render times exponentially. Whereas iClone just gives you the glow effect in real-time.
