New free robo character over at FoRender, for Poser and Daz…
Keep in mind that this is based off a famous Japanese cartoon character owned by Disney/Toei Animation Co., so can’t be used commercially unless you want Disney lawyers knocking on your door.
The slick new DAZ Studio 4.5 hair-growth plugin Look At My Hair now has a new free player that integrates right into DAZ 4.5…
“integrated in the DAZ Studio interface, the Look at my Hair Player allows you to load most pre-made Look at my Hair presets or .duf scenes, modify color and shader properties, hair count, thickness and render!”
Cool Poser-made movie, “The Drop”, by Gabe Sabloff and Tirade…
Lots of great SF 3D content appearing at the moment. Perhaps it’s something to do with the massive comet that’s headed our way later this year! Stonemason has just released the latest addition to his superb set of sci-fi environments. The latest is a set of SF consoles…
Looks great, but I do wish that DAZ and Poser could do glowing objects more easily, spilling light into the air around them. You can add glow after the render, in Photoshop + a few filters, of course. But it would be nice to make a prop or fabric glow as easily as you can in iClone.
The new consoles complement Stonemason’s recent Sector 15 interior, his Cryotube, and his Cryo Environment deck…
I also note that DarioFish has a nice new set of Mass Effect -style aliens for DAZ Genesis, the “HFS Races”, which keep on getting better. The latest Iradian species looks especially professional…
Iridian Poser materials free here.
ArtFarm’s recent Zorn alien would complement the Iradian nicely.
Talking of comets, in advance of the huge interest there’s going to be in comets later this year, someone like Stonemason needs to do a quality “comet rider” sci-fi kit, with an awesome comet, and a mission craft to investigate it.
3d fantasy artist DeeDee has a very interesting real-world comparison between Poser and Vue as a render…
Smith Micro is putting on a free online seminar (or ‘webinar’) on 11th April 2013. It’s part two of Steve Cooper’s “Getting Started in 3D with Poser”, and looks at the real basics…
* what’s in the included free content and how to find it
* how to pose and dress both Miki and Tyler, and customize them
* the basics of rendering, turning your 3D scene into a 2D picture.
You can get a feel for the webinar format by looking at the archived webinars, including part one of “Getting Started in 3D with Poser”.

There’s a new 3D Art magazine podcast: an interview with Paolo Ciccone, author of the new Reality 3 rendering plugin for Poser, which links Poser to the free LuxRender rendering engine.
Reality 3 + Poser image.
After a long wait Reality 3 for Poser is actually available to buy now, with a $20 discount until the 5th of May 2013!
DAZ Studio users already have Reality 2 available now, with Reality 3 for DAZ Studio announced but not yet dated as far as I know. I’m guessing possibly August 2013?
A super new semi-toon character from toon specialists 3D Universe, Kimberly for Genesis (DAZ Studio only), available now.
A Renderosity staffer reviews Vue Xtream 11, the top version of the natural landscape rendering software. The blurb for the lesser Vue 11 Studio version ($399) claims… “extended DAZ Studio and Poser integration” and that it will “Load and render Poser characters”. Hopefully that latter feature isn’t limited to the 64-bit version, as it was in Vue 10.
A very nice new semi-toon spacesuit, Imploo Explorer, for the new Imploo character. Personally I’m not keen on the Imploo, it lacks something when compared to the appeal of Nursoda’s creations and the skin textures are Poser-only. The developer obviously has great hopes of it, but I can’t see it catching on if neither the textures nor the poses work in DAZ.
But this is a great suit, and it should hopefully be adaptable to other DAZ Studio or Poser characters with Crossdresser if there’s an Imploo licence or a close preset…
I’d love to see it officially made available for other semi-toon characters too.
Just released, a new standalone DAZ / Poser figure from Nursoda, Brulba…
Love the “ancient shaman” look, but I’d also love to see a more futuristic “sci-fi” look for him from a third-party.
Fab new animation, made with Poser by Rooster Teeth…
Droids used are the BEO Quad and stripped-down modifications of the BEO Ripper and its Expansion Pack.
Adobe Foundation Creativity Scholarships, for those attending educational institutions in the USA. Application deadline: 31st March 2013. Hard cash money, it seems, to pay your school fees for creative courses. Nice!
Available now, a new issue of 3D Art Direct magazine, the DAZ Studio or Poser -friendly 3D art magazine.
FoRender has a new range of fantasy staffs for DAZ Studio and Poser.
