Octane render 1.0 final is now available, with the Poser plugin. A DAZ 3d Studio plugin is coming “soon”. A Standalone + Poser plugin bundle costs 279 euros (about $360), although the purchase page for that bundle hasn’t yet been updated — it still talks about the beta version of Octane.
A new original toonimal character, over at 3D Universe, the Gruggle Monk for DAZ Studio or Poser… for free…

I was starting to think that the excellent Lenore and the Raven characters had sunk without trace amid the tidal waves of V4 variants, but here’s the new The Raven Library bundle of clothes / props / poses, from third-party developer 3D-GHDesign…

An interesting new scene for DAZ Studio or Poser this week: the Roman Museum Hall. You can presumably also remove the Roman props and replace them with your own exhibits. A giant kitsch plushie or a Lovecraftian beastie spring to mind 😉

50% off the entire range on DAZ Studio and Poser content on the Teknology 3D store (excludes new releases).
Use code: bf2012 at checkout and save 50% off your order. Expires Monday.
I note that Teknology 3D has 3D merchant-resource clothing kits for 3D Universe’s Sadie and Sam. These work with Daz’s free Hexagon software, and look nicer and perhaps a bit easier to work with than their DAZ store equivalents?

A healthy 40% off all the 3D Universe (aka 3DU) characters and animals in the Cartoon Universe section over at the DAZ Store. Sale ends Friday.

Steampunkers and some types of webcomic-makers might like to note the rather nice toon steampunk-friendly sofa that’s in the (currently) $4.77 “Staci – Couch Potato” pack…

Entries are open now for the Renderosity Christmas Contest. The 2012 theme is “Magical Holiday”…

Cool free original toon sci-fi character, for Poser. Sam-anime…

Buried up to the neck in soil, and with a few leaves added, his eye and neck could also become a “mutant plant” character.
A first look at the upcoming OctaneRenderer render plugin for Poser, showing the workflow…
It’s also coming for DAZ Studio 4.5 too…
DAZ has 30% off today, on most of Jack Tomalin’s store on the DAZ Store (although not quite “entire”, as his excellent Bandstand is missing).
