Survey of 3D dogs for DAZ Studio or Poser, realistic and toon:
The “DAZ Millennium Dog” is free on the DAZ Store, in the form of a MillDog LE (light) version that has 43 basic morphs. This DAZ MilDog sent the old Poser 4 dog to the retirement kennels. Renderosity has a pack of 25 poses that specifically work with the LE version of the Millennium Dog.

The “Millennium Dog Starter Pack”, also on the DAZ Store, injects 120 morphs into the MilDog LE, thus allowing a variety of popular large breeds to be created…

Also on the DAZ Store there is a “Real Fur for the Millennium Dog” pack (likely to send render times through the roof, if my experience of cat fur is anything to go by); the “Classic Canines Combo” provides a major textures pack; and the “Canine Journey Poses” pack….

Puppies and pup lovers are ably catered for by the DAZ Store’s “Millennium Puppy”.

If you want all the DAZ Store’s main dog and puppy packs, save by getting them in the combined “Ultimate Canine Bundle”.
A free MilDog accessory is a small dog crate.
There doesn’t appear to be a dog accessories pack, curiously. I’d have expected someone to make a dog toys / basket / brush / lead set by now. Nor do there appear to be any police & rescue services dog liveries.
The poor old Poser 8 “dog with no name” (a quality dog that shipped with Poser 8, designed by the famous Stonemason) doesn’t seem to have ever had much love. Content Paradise has a single lone pose set for him…


Lovers of small and toy dog breeds are not well catered for in the DAZ / Poser world. Some free morph sets were produced for the old Poser 4 dog — such as CloudCastle’s Dachshund; and Lyne’s Basset Hound which has also been extended with 3D Menagerie’s comprehensive set of Basset morps.
Meshbox has Mister Puggles which is a realistic pug dog for Poser 6…

Toon dogs (that are not too bizarre-looking) include 3D Universe’s Bacon…

Bacon has a Dog’s Life pose pack and Hound Dog textures packs on the DAZ Store.
Digital Creation’s Dawg is not too bad, but you may want to tone down the horrible specularity/bump-map combo that is supposed to be his hair texture…

Into science-fiction? Robot dogs include Renderosity’s Hell Hound Cyber-Dog which has very nice “worn” textures…

Need something sleeker? The OnTarget3D store has a free Mech Robot Dog Dinosaur…

Quality ‘demon dogs‘ include the DAZ Store’s “Gargoyle Hound” and its Demon Dogs Add-on Pack.
Renderosity also has this which might look good in darker lighting than it’s shown in here…

About ten years ago there was a very good stylised “Demon Dog” morph and texture pack for the old Poser 4 dog, but it appears to have vanished into the mists of history…

Similarly, there was also once an “Alien Dogs” pack of morphs and textures, along with a similar “Alien Cats” pack, but neither of these packs seem to be available anywhere now…

That’s it. Bow wow for now…
Renderosity has a free Smart Cane prop for my favorite DAZ 3D character, Nursoda’s Doctor Pitterbill.

I’m very pleased to see that the DAZ 3D Bridge for Photoshop has now been updated to work with DAZ Studio 4, and with the versions of Photoshop Extended that are higher than CS3. The 3D Bridge software connects DAZ Studio directly to Photoshop, and this updated version is currently still free! Go grab the new version now, before DAZ decides to slap a price on it!

Antonia Polygon-WM is the new free showcase female character for Poser and Poser Pro 2014. Available free at her own site…
“She was designed to showcase Poser 9 and Poser Pro 2012’s newest features and technology … developed by a group of talented members of the Poser community in a thirty-month effort, and the figure has all the superior characteristics of Antonia Polygon – Standard.”
She’s a 63Mb download. WM stands for “weight mapped”, which means she’s very flexible and yet her joints don’t go awry.
Free animated “skipping” motion, for the 3D Universe Toon Rabbit…

Any new standalone figure from Nursoda is welcome. They are always of excellent quality, and have immense amounts of character. So it’s great news that he’s just launched another excellent characterful older female character called Aina…

Nursoda’s freestuff website has also updated with a fab set of free poses for Aina and his popular Hein figure…
