Emulating 2D hand-drawn, via 3D in Poser 11. ‘By Moebius’, or as close as you’re going to get to that style without actual hand-drawing. All layers are real-time or near real-time renders.

Tutorial: a Poser script to find your lost prop
You have a complex scene in Poser. You load in a new prop or figure and… the new prop or figure is nowhere to be seen! You then have to tear your scene and carefully composed camera framing apart, to find the new item.
Is this is a problem you have, as a new Poser 11 user? Do you wish there was something like Poser’s native “Drop to floor” command, but named something like… “Centre selected item in camera”?
There is a way to do it, and it’s actually better than the native “Center item in camera”. It’s Ockham’s Python Scripts: SnapTo script. Only works on Windows. If you’re on Windows, here’s how to install and use it.
Update: There is now also a working Mac-friendly equivalent for it.
1) Download and un-zip. In Poser 11 you place the script in: C:\Program Files\Smith Micro\Poser11\Runtime\Python\poserScripts\ScriptsMenu to have it show up in Poser 11’s Scripts menu. It’s really really important to get right down to that last ..\ScriptsMenu folder and not stop at ..\poserScripts and think you’re there!
Then rename the script so that the filename has basic instructions. For instance…
SnapTo.py
becomes
SnapTo-SelectItem-StartScript-SelectDesination.py
The name of the script then serves as a quickstart reminder on how to operate it when you’re in the midst of creating a scene.
2) OK, so you built your complex scene. Load your character into it. Here we have Nursoda’s “Fon” character loaded into a scene via drag-and-drop from the PzDB library software, and… he’s nowhere to be found. He’s gone, lost somewhere in a vast desert. Could be anywhere.
So now we need to use the script we just installed. Find it at the top menu, under Scripts.
3) The name of the re-named script reminds you to:
i) have the item selected that you want to move before you start the script;
tip: ensure the item did not auto-conform to something when you dragged-and-dropped it. If it did then un-conform it — and also make sure you select with the main ‘Body’ element;
iii) you then start the SnapTo script;
iv) then you wait for the script to finish loading (there’s a progress bar);
v) after a few seconds the progress bar should read “Waiting to select destination”. Then you simply click-select the item in your scene that you want the lost prop or character to move to.;
vi) the script then moves the lost object.
Here I selected the observation deck of the steampunk telescope as the move destination. The script won’t also scale and rotate the moved item to match the destination, as I’ve done here with Fon to make a prettier basic picture. But the script moves things quickly and it saves a lot of trouble.
The only problem you may have is with a pre-dressed character loader-preset, as he may leave his clothes behind. You’ll need to re-dress.
Hopefully Poser 12 will integrate this operation as a native button, but until then Ockham’s vital script does the job fine in Poser 11. He also has a variant script, to “move the currently selected camera to the clicked location”, useful for working with very large or complex scenes, which can be used on a Mac. But note that the main SnapTo use Tkinter as part of the scripts, which means Mac users cannot run it — take it up with Apple and their fickle support-policies dept., not the makers of Poser.
New content for Poser and DAZ: the July/August 2019 survey
Right then… it’s getting toward the end of the month. Which means it’s time for my survey of the content releases for Poser, DAZ and Vue. I skipped a round-up post in July, so this is now my pick of the content released during the last eight weeks or so.
Incidentally, I see that selling 3D-model ‘fan art’ is getting out-of-control at the marketplaces at ArtStation, Sketchfab and CGTrader. As such you’re advised to exercise more caution than usual, if you’re buying for commercial-use from such sites. Sometimes it’s obvious (Batman, Spider-man, Tom & Jerry) but other times not, especially if you’re unfamiliar with what’s in videogames these days.
Science fiction:
Mono Track for Poser, with V4 rider poses. Hopefully we’ll soon see some futuristic sci-fi texture makeovers for this.
The new SMC Gear: Helmet might suit a rider of the Mono Track.
A free Plasma Pistol Prop for Poser. Old, but nice to have. It toons up nicely to Poser line-art.
PW Customizable Hot Rod V12 is a nice bit of retro-sci, being the sort of classy future-vehicle you might have seen on the cover of magazines like Astounding or Modern Mechanix in the 1930s.
Level 21, a usefully generic “under the secret installation” setting, for your earth-bound sci-fi and techno-thrillers.
Steampunk:
A detailed SteamPunk Computer in .OBJ format.
Steampunk Wings for G3 and G8 and Expansion Pack.
Town Car 1912 for Poser.
A free Steampunk Lampe 2 in Collada .DAE format, which I found doesn’t play nicely with Poser 11. You may have to push this through 3DXchange and smooth it, then save it to a viable .OBJ format.
Fantasy:
dForce Thicket for Genesis 8 Male, a fantasy plant-man with dForce growth.
ROG Medieval Fantasy Bedroom, with quality props and lots of potential camera positions.
Harem of the Serpent King, a free stage set for DAZ. I assume this is not fan-art of some old 1980s Conan movie set, though note that many of the maker’s other freebies are fan-art.
Historical:
dForce Neolithic Outfits for Genesis 8 Male, complete with a set of props.
The new Top Knot Hair and Beard for Genesis 3 and 8 could probably also work with the neolithic clothes seen above.
Biblical era Assyrian Warrior Outfit for Genesis 8 Male.
Milk Van is another quality addition to Dryjack’s large set of classic British 1950s railway stock.
British Farm Pickup. A classic old Land Rover from the 1950s and 60s. Just the thing to get stuck on the level-crossing in your Dryjack railway track!
A free Canadian Tractor which looks fairly generic and, though in .3DS, may especially interest Vue users looking for old-time farm items.
Carmen Miranda’s 1920’s Tutti Frutti Hat for G8F.
Feathered for G8F/V8, which also evokes the 1920s/30s showgirl era.
Toon:
Snap Dragon for DAZ Studio. Fairly lightweight, so you can have a field of them. Also good texture makeovers and an “in a pot” pet version. Excellent work at a nice price.
Snap Dragon could be paired with the new Lightweight Tropical Environment.
Noname Doll by Glidman, a free weightmapped Poser 10 or 11 manga character. Also an Elbow Bend Fix for her.
Characters and hair:
The new flagship Poser character and G8F equivalent La Femme for Poser is now at version 1.1, and is currently 50% off. There’s also a new Merissa LaFemme young girl makeover.
SP Hair 006 for Genesis 3 and 8 Female. Usefully short and generic, suitable for an adventurer or archaeologist.
Morphing Turban and Beard for Genesis 8 Male.
Storybook:
The Wizard’s Wagon for Poser, now updated for DAZ Studio.
Mediterranean Alley, complete with hanging clothes. The clothes are too modern for most storybook use, but with a bit of work you could probably replace them with vintage items.
dForce Servant Dress for Genesis 8 Female.
Dia For Genesis 3 Female for DAZ Studio.
BBarbs continues her series of believable everyday Genesis 8 Young Child Poses, including several new pet-interaction poses suitable for storybook use.
Animals:
Daz House Cat with dForce Hair. The fur is not ideal and not at all convincing on the ears, but presumably it could be toned down here and there.
House Cattitude I and II. 40 poses for the Daz House Cat, and they look excellent.
Gorilla for Genesis 8 Male with dForce hair. The hair looks much more natural on the Gorilla than on the house cat.
New LAMH Presets for the HiveWire Cougar.
14 extinct animals, including five prehistoric fish. Likely to especially interest Vue users who do underwater/prehistoric scenes.
Landscapes and settings:
A new epic fantasy-type Green Oasis for Vue.
Lightweight Tropical Environment for DAZ Studio. Lush, but apparently not too taxing on your PC.
Shipwreck Survivors Camp. A huge cargo ship has landed in the desert, and the survivors have built a village of the spilled shipping containers. Yes, it’s a bit strange… but I can see a graphic novel in the setting (if it’s original and is not fan-art from some TV series).
Buoys for DAZ Studio. Vue seascape and aircraft artists will also want these.
Wooden Walkway set by 1971s. A lagoon walkway complex that matches with 1971s many fine buildings.
I see there’s also a new iRay add-on for the Danaides gothic dungeon.
Utilities:
The useful Look At Me is now Look At Me II. II adds chest and abdomen auto-turning. Expensive, but vital for those who do lots of multi-figure scenes where character are interacting.
Character Converter from Genesis 3 Female to Genesis 8 Female. I’ve no idea how well it works or how fiddly it is, but it seems rather useful if it can also handle sci-fi alien type characters.
Depth Shaders for DAZ Studio. Apparently a set of shaders that only affect “topcoat and backscatter surface channels”, while leaving the base textures intact. Thus giving your scene a depth-haze without increasing render time.
Tutorials:
Dazzling Renders in DAZ Studio, with Digital Art Live and Herschel Hoffmeyer.
That’s it for July/August 2019. More picks next month!
Poser 11.2 – dated and more details
More news on the forthcoming Poser 11.2 ‘bridge’ update, found at the end of an interview on Renderosity…
Starting Sept. 16 [2019], if you do not update, your Poser may not work because the licensing system will not be able to complete the over-the-Internet check needed to confirm your license key. That means you must update.
Poser 11.2 news
Official Poser news on the latest Poser developments and near-future.
* Poser 11.2 will be a ‘bridge release’ to swop over people’s licenses to Renderosity. No new features with 11.2, but there will be some under-the-hood changes.
That makes sense. One clean sweep to swop people over.
* Once that’s done, onward to a “64-bit update for Windows” and updates that “stay current with both Windows and Mac [OS] builds”.
Nice for the Mac people.
* New “integrated marketplace search” inside Poser.
I’m not keen on the “integrated marketplace search” but as long as it’s just a discreet search-box and doesn’t flash or chirp or have pop-ups every hour with a day-glo yellow strip, then I can ignore it.
* Now that La Femme is the G8F-equivalent flagship figure for Poser, she needs a suitable mate. “Le Homme” is in development.
Presumably he might ship with Poser 12 only, and thus be a selling-point for Poser 12 buyers? Just my guess.
* Selective installers.
So it sounds like you can selectively install only what you want from the free content bundle, rather than clutter your hard-drive with 5Gb of unused stuff. That makes sense if all you want is Robo-Kitty, some legacy characters and a few of the animals.
Nothing about a future subscription model. I do hope they don’t go with subscriptions.
Moebius in Poser 11 – more refined
This still needs a lot of adjustment for the Moebius-style dash-shading to ‘read’ well when in a comics panel on a 10″ Kindle screen. The same goes for the line width(s). Reducing the image by 50% is a good test, and if the dash-hatching then gets smushed down into a grey haze, then it’s failed the test.
But when seen at this size it’s an improvement on the crude “proof of concept” demo posted here a few days ago.
Moebius in Poser 11 – proof of concept
This still needs to be perfected, but is a bit of a breakthrough in terms of doing Moebius-style dash stippling that follows contours, while indicating 3D volume and shadows.
This is Nursoda’s ‘Loik’ 3D character. Ink outlines from Poser 11’s real-time toon mode (2 seconds render time at 1800px). Moebius-style dash shading via my breakthrough in making and refining a custom Poser Sketch Designer preset (5 seconds render time at 1800px). The two renders then easily combined in Photoshop.
The 3D comic Striker bows out
The Dream is Over: 34 years in the making, Striker finally bows out. Striker was a 3D football (soccer) comic, which I assume was made with Poser. It appeared for decades in the biggest of the British ‘tabloid’ newspapers. All mainstream newspapers are cutting back these days, and the expensive trimmings such as daily comic-strips are often the first to go.
But there’s good news too. The same writer’s comic strip Psycops appeared in the same newspaper and is now to be collected in full. Not 3D, despite the partly 3D front cover, but nice artwork after some early wobbles with other artists.
It’s a sci-fi detective-adventure serial which ran in The Sun from July 1994 to the start of 1999. A female private detective and her partner Gabriel, who is actually a telepathic alien in disguise, battle various ingenious enemies in thriller-style situations.
The adventures are being reprinted in their entirety for the very first time in a 304-page book available as a softcover version. … Psycops will be available to buy exclusively from our online shop from early July … with shipping mid August 2019.
The SFX magazine review of the collected Psycops gave the new book a healthy four stars. “The enthralling pace never slackens … stories actually now seem quite prophetic … elegant lineart” in a Modesty Blaise style.
An interesting British sci-fi curiosity, which collectors will probably want as it may not be available forever.

Renderosity Summer Sale: 50% off (nearly) the whole store
Summer sale… “50% off Storewide on Renderosity.com”.
Does this also include Poser 11 Pro, I wondered? No, sadly not. It’s still at the $199 it was lowered to immediately Renderosity purchased Poser. That was a nice discount from its previous price, but it hasn’t now been reduced again by 50% to $99. However, you can get upgrades to 11 Pro from any old version of Poser at $99, which is flagged as “60% off”.
What about other big software? Nope, none that I could see. It seems Renderosity no longer carries Corel Painter, Smith Micro’s Motion Comics software, Clip Studio (Manga Studio) etc.
Down in Clearance, one Poser standalone worth having is the ‘Heavenly Zeppelin 2’ by 1971s at a mere $2.79. I picked it up along with Poisen’s Eyeball Garden 2 (plants with eyes on stalks, and two of the newer Nursoda characters I didn’t yet have.
And I was able to use up some slowly-accumulated store credit, and thus got the cart for free. Nice! Onward to Black Friday!
New for Poser and DAZ in June 2019
It’s time for another survey and picks of the new goodies, released this month for use with DAZ Studio and Poser.
Steampunk:
Ancient Atmospheric Diving Suit by Cybertenko.
AS Nocturne luxury airship.
Steam Powered Dirigible for DAZ Studio.
Xigbar for Genesis 8 Male, a freebie with eyepatch and hair. Seems to suit the steampunk airship-captain style. Perhaps a freebie because he resembles a game character? Check that if you want to use him in a commercial comic.
Science fiction:
Project Eden for DAZ Studio. Shown here without textures so you can see what’s going on…
Lunar Hotel for DAZ Studio.
Historical:
A free British Commando for M3. Since the British Army have ‘prior art’ on this outfit, I doubt even commercial use would be infringing, even if it is from a game — as the uploader’s other Wolfenstein uploads seem to suggest it may be. The saved .ZIP needs to be re-named to the .RAR type.
Oxford Classroom for DAZ Studio. A pre-1945 English classroom in the University of Oxford style.
A free ramshackle 17th-19th century Raft with barrels.
Goddess Braids For Genesis 3 And 8 Female, in the ancient Mediterranean style.
Ancient building thatched. Northern Iron Age, and low-poly so one could probably build a village of them in the same scene. The modern-looking square brick chimney would need to be removed for authenticity.
Secret Society Room by Coflek-gnorg, for Poser. A classic 1960’s Bond-style lair for scheming plotters. With more Edwardian style chairs, it could also serve for Sherlock Holmes scenes.
Fantasy:
Gruesome Ghoul for Genesis 8 Male. With a nice ‘Frank Frazetta paperback cover’ look, but also a nod to the H.P. Lovecraft of “Pickman’s Model” and the Dreamlands. The body looks to have had as much design attention as the head.
Medieval River Quarry, a freebie, with a hefty 123Mb download due to “detailed UV-Mapping up to 4096×4096 to allow quality textures”. Would probably look good looming up in a Vue atmosphere.
Characters:
Alt Sanjay 8, a useful generic modern Indian Modi-era guy with lots of suitable body morphs. Requires the more Bollywood-hero Sanjay 8 character and the Genesis 8 Male morph packs for body and head.
Also, the flagship Poser figure La Femme is now at version 1.1 with a variety of updates and tweaks.
Clothing and poses:
Blisstopia dForce Cloak and Bodysuit for G3F/G8F. Looks useful for a wide range of scenes and genres.
A free Genesis 8 Male Hawking Pose for the ancient sport of hawking. Not something you see every day.
Toon:
Scampixie Pranx 2 for Poser 11 and DAZ Studio. With a freebie Braid Hair and free Chibi. Also a free American Majorette costumes and American Marching Band pack. Also some free Poses.
Toon Hero for Genesis 8 Male with matching ‘airbrushed toony’ body texture.
Boss Dog for Poser. Requires Bulldog and the Poser 8 Dog. Possibly released a while back, but newly noticed by me at CG Bytes. Should toon well with Poser 11’s comic-book mode.
Animations for Nursoda’s Kelm and Bong. Given that poses for one Nursoda character also often fit another, I’m guessing these may also more-or-less work on his other characters too, such as Dr. Pitterbill?
Storybook:
Flying car/boat, albeit low-poly. Possibly too good to be true, at just $5 on CG Trader. Do some research before you use it in a commercial storybook.
More believable Genesis 8 Young Child Poses from BBarbs, such as this…
Girl’s Clothing Store and Caribbean Village exterior street to serve as an exterior.
A free Duck Buoy for V4, K4, A4.
Animals:
Hedgehog Rigged. I’m pretty sure DAZ Studio already has something very like this. But it may be of interest to some.
European Otter in HD. A ridiculous price of $249, but I’m including this here in the hope someone might be inspired to make a DAZ otter to showcase the new dForce strand hair, perhaps even give it wet/dry looks (it swims underwater).
Songbird ReMix Ostriches, all five species. “Completely updated in June 2019 to include a new file structure with native versions for both Daz Studio and Poser.”
A prehistoric underwater Drepanasis.
Landscapes:
3D Tropical Holiday beach for Vue 7 or higher.
Mountain Set by ShaaraMuse3D. HD micro-landscapes resembling what you’d see on the rocky floor at an old iron foundry, or in the scree of a high volcanic mountain landscape.
Utilities:
RSSY Hair Converter from Victoria 4 to Genesis 8 Female. Appears to be fairly easy and semi-automatic.
Tutorials:
How to Create Sci-fi Special Effects.
How to Make Amazing PBR Materials for DAZ, using Substance Alchemist.
That’s all my picks for this month. More in July!
Poser sold to Renderosity
Poser now belongs to Renderosity, according to both Renderosity and a Smith Micro press release…
Bondware Inc., the parent company of Renderosity.com, has announced the acquisition of the Poser software product line … The acquisition is effective immediately.
William W. Smith Jr., President and CEO of Smith Micro, said Poser… “has had a long history with Smith Micro and I am pleased to see it going to a long-term partner in Renderosity.”
One immediate drawback seems to be that the cheaper Poser 11 Standard has been withdrawn from sale at Renderosity.
Sonata – new comic, made with Poser
Brian Haberlin’s new Sonata comic-book epic, made with the Poser software and content, has the first issue out and is set to rapidly release further issues over the summer. Issue #1 has had many favourable reviews. It’s broadly a sort-of ‘steampunk girl meets Avatar planet’ setting, and if you’re familiar with the Poser fantasy characters and buildings then you’ll recognise many from the likes of 1971s and others being put to good use. The first issue looks great, is nicely paced, and introduces some vivid characters.
Sonata #1 is apparently being reprinted in paper with a better cover, such is the collector demand, and as #2 and #3 gear up for release.
However, you can get them on Amazon Kindle as digital downloads.
Sonata #1 (June 2019).
Sonata #2 (July 2019)
Sonata #3 (August 2019)
New stuff for DAZ and Poser, May 2019
It’s once again near the end of the month, and thus time for me to survey the new releases for DAZ Studio and Poser. Another bumper month of releases. Here’s what I noticed in among the May 2019 releases.
Science fiction:
A free Klingon Head Morph for La Femme, the new flagship Poser figure. Star Trek, so for fan-art only, obviously.
A futuristic candygirl, Emiko for La Femme, for Poser 11. I’m not keen on the jelly-hair, but it could be replaced. Shows how flexible the new La Femme can be, in terms of getting away from the default ‘Princess Di’ look.
DD Gorgeous Glass Shaders for iRay, Vol. 2, with definite sci-fi potential, and also MMX Silk Shaders for iRay
Planet Irida, an unusual ice-planet and flora, for DAZ Studio.
ATLAS Armored Suit for Genesis 8 by Herschel Hoffmeyer.
Need some fierce pets for your ATLAS warriors? How about Cassius HD, a new monster dog for Daz Dog 8.
A new fan-art freebie Deepcore – Abyss Rig v2.0 is the deep-sea exploration rig from the pretty-good James Cameron movie The Abyss. Obviously not for commercial use.
CS01: Everyday Army Poses for Genesis 8. Ensemble poses, especially useful for storytellers doing things like team superhero or Carthargo-type exploration comics. See other packs in the CS01 series, for more.
A free spaceship bedroom/corridor which is mildly unusual in terms of taking into account the need for low-gravity weightlessness rungs. I like details like that, which make me think, “yes, that’s what they’d have…”.
A slicker and more far-future SF Corridor for DAZ Studio, with viewing windows.
War Manta for DAZ Studio. And an Area 52-like Hidden Zone to serve as a base for your mantas. Looks to be expandable with the larger Mesa Desert 360-environment.
SC20 Gym, a modern gym interior that could probably fairly easily be adapted to be an underground hangar for the above War Mantas.
Chronos for Genesis 8 Male. At first I thought meh!, but actually it has a nice retro late-1950s Jack Kirby monster-comic vibe to it.
Easypose Cyber-Tentacles for DAZ Studio (only). Also a Easypose Flowing-Fluids pack.
When the tentacles attack, your characters might need to dive into the Post-apocalyptic Survival Bunker!
Steampunk:
You’ve surely got airships in your runtime. But what about the control decks? The new Steampunk Airship Cabin and control deck. This may also interest Vue users, as an export.
Your airship is probably headed to the new Epic Environments – Floating Sky Island. Again, this may also interest Vue users, exported as an .OBJ file.
New female outfits that would match the airship are dForce Minimalist Chic and dForce Redgrave Outfit and the free Classical Retro Dress for G8F (commercial use for renders).
The airship crew might be in the dForce Anchors Aweigh Outfit for Genesis 8 Female outfits, perhaps with a more Navy-like makeover that throws overboard the lace. And your airship engineers might be in the new X-Fashion Uniform 02.
Your airship captain might look like the new Gustave HD for Genesis 8 Male.
And the airship’s Attack Squadron leader might wear the Myrna 1920’s Vaudeville Showgirl Tuxedo Hat for G8F, in DAZ Studio.
The airship’s enemies might be helmeted with the new Space Spartan Helmet for Poser and M4, by Cybertenko.
… and possibly also be rather amusingly piloting a fleet made up of the cute little Miyazaki-ish Desert Tram for DAZ Studio. This could probably be kit-bashed with the base from some of Cybertenko’s models, to give you an electro-hover-tram with levitation coils underneath.
At CG Trader, a reasonably-priced Owl Skeleton Handpainted, in .OBJ and .FBX. Slap on a pair of goggles and some boots and it could be something for a steampunk museum or laboratory.
Also, some nicely designed low-poly guns, done in 20k, at $9 each at Sketchfab, one and two and three. They’re not going to look great next to a photoreal G8F, but if you’re doing comic-book work with Poser 11’s comic book inking mode then these may appeal.
Historical:
U.S. World War 2 Uniform Paratrooper Expansion, which converts the older World War II U.S. Uniform HD to a Paratrooper and seems to add even more details and controls.
Second World War Roadsigns. Could probably also be adapted for a Fallout / Mad Max setting. Also a new set of Airstrip Accessories and Base/tunnel entrance with guard-hut and barrier, from the same time period.
GWR Fruit D Van by DryJack, specialist in British railways.
A free 1960s Bubble Chair Set for DAZ Studio.
dForce Bliaut for Genesis 8 Female, a medieval outfit which at a guess looks about the 11th century, Northern France?
And a realistic ancient castle ruin and mound, possibly more suitable for backgrounds than closer framing.
Storybook:
Watchmaker house for Poser. Nice work, as always, from 1971s. It looks like it could use a set of material makeovers for the four seasons, plus a Christmas-colours set.
Secret Garden Door by 1971s, for Poser.
Yana for Genesis 3. Looks like she would be a characterful candidate for a storybook heroine.
BBarbs continues to add to her fine set of realistic poses for G8 Young Child.
dForce H&C Pajamas Set for Genesis 8, classic old-style pajamas.
Five Birdhouses in .OBJ format. Nicely designed.
Candy-stripes for the HiveWire Horse, for Poser.
Summer series, Inflatable fun for Poser. Back-garden and beach inflatables.
Macro Worlds: Sand Castle Construction Set by HD terrain specialist ShaaraMuse3D.
Toon:
Lola Free Bundle, a new self-contained/standalone free toon figure for DAZ Studio. Genuinely free. Also free, a set of four Lola Bodies morphs and Hair Colors for Lola. You’ll also want the free More Expressions for Lola set and the Action Actress clothing set for Toon Grrl Lola.
I’ve yet to try to get her over to / into Poser 11, for the Comic Book mode, but I assume she’ll go.
Mr. Spock for Pitterbill, for Poser. Requires the well-known Dr. Pitterbill from Nursoda. Star Trek, so for non-commercial use. Pretty good. ‘Live Long, and Prosper’, little freebie!
Animals:
Alioramus altai DR, a new and somewhat feathery dinosaur from Dinoraul.
Hivewire’s new Red Stag and Red Stag LAMH Preset. Also a Fallow Deer.
A new set of Animations for the HiveWire Big Cat. I guess you might also get something from these if you tried them on the Housecat, too.
Songbird Remix Shorebirds Vol 4. Including a scarlet Ibis.
Also Songbird ReMix Flock Formations, for rapid setup of flocking flight for your ReMix birds.
Hair:
3Dream’s Freestuff now includes a big range of SuperFly MATs for older Poser hair.
Sylvia Tied Bun Hair for Genesis 8 Female.
Everyday:
A new La Femme Business Suit, for Poser 11.
dForce Office Wear for G8M and the more casual but still office-ish dForce Basic Jacket Outfit.
Adult and Baby care poses for Genesis 8.
Message-Shirt for Genesis 8 Female. A G8 shirt that lets you easily apply your own logo or slogan. Also a similar Magic Baseball Cap.
Need somewhere to stash your fab dForce garments? The new FG Closet for DAZ Studio.
Interiors and exteriors:
Cloakroom Clutter for DAZ Studio.
London Courtyard for DAZ Studio. A modern London townhouse. And matching dForce Oxford Outfit.
Arabic Living Room for DAZ Studio.
Utilities:
Iray SurfaceWorx. Easily add dust and grime layers, but keep most of the underlying textures.
MF Content Bookmarks. Add a Bookmarks feature to your DAZ Studio Content Library.
Karina’s EasyPose to Normal Pose, for Poser characters.
Soft Body Morphs for G8F in DAZ Studio. Makes G8F squish-able in small ways.
Tutorials:
Powerful Poses : How to Create Dynamic Pose Sets for DAZ Studio characters.
Motion Graphics : Easy Animation for Visual Storytelling.
Prime Postwork Secrets with Drew Spence.
OK, that’s it. More picks next month!
Currently free – M4 + Pro Bundle + extras
Currently free on DAZ, the M4 Hero Pro Pack. This includes the base M4 + the M4 Pro Pack + a load of M4 extras. “Michael 4 Shapes++” includes “Michael 4 Genitalia” and seems to include the vital “M4 Morphs++” pack in a supercharged expanded version — this may even interest those who think they already have the M4 and Morphs++ combo.
If you’re new to DAZ and Poser, and get this, you may want want my tutorial on how to activate and load Micheal 4 and Morphs++.
Also currently free is the original Troll, which is worth having in your runtime as there were many extras and makeovers and freebies made for him.
