It&#8217;s the most faithful, stable and also quick\/easy poly-reducer in terms of edge\/shape fidelity, and can be easily used with a DAZ Studio freebie script <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jurn.link\/dazposer\/?p=14831\">to take any dressed\/posed Genesis-line figure to Poser<\/a> in a such a way that the figure is quite wieldy when in the Poser viewport. Going DAZ-to-Poser in that way is no good for animation or photoreal, but it is quick and easy and it can be used with Poser&#8217;s unique Comic Book mode. Especially if you&#8217;re planning to use the resulting line-art as a guide to manual comics inking or for further Photoshop filtering.<\/p>\n<p>* The <a href=\"https:\/\/blendermarket.com\/\">Blender Market<\/a> has started the sale. &#8220;Get an automatic 25% discount on thousands of products&#8221;, though these are a little sparse. No discounts among recent NPR items.<\/p>\n<p>* The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.daz3d.com\/shop\/\">DAZ Store<\/a> now has the Black Friday Sale live. My WishList is a wall of &#8220;50%&#8221; off, though almost nothing below $6 and nothing enticing below $10. I see useful plugins such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jurn.link\/dazposer\/?p=14619\">Look at My Hair<\/a> at 40% off, and the Reality plugins for DAZ and Poser at 50% off each. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jurn.link\/dazposer\/oldimages\/daz.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jurn.link\/dazposer\/oldimages\/daz.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"197\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-15422\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jurn.link\/dazposer\/oldimages\/2020-11-27_102732.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jurn.link\/dazposer\/oldimages\/2020-11-27_102732.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"237\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-15423\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Yes, Reality still works fine on Windows, though I don&#8217;t know about the Mac &mdash; but these days the Mac is an increasingly risky platform if doing serious graphics work. DAZ iRay materials and Poser strand hair are both converted in 4.3.x, and this final version also did skin beautifully and also slightly tweaked DAZ bump map import.  To run the Poser 11 Reality plugin you just need the free AVfix hotfix. For DAZ Studio scenes with instancing you&#8217;ll need a little &#8220;convert instances to props&#8221; script like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.daz3d.com\/instances-to-objects\">Instances to Objects<\/a>. For some basic training see the YouTube Playlist <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/playlist?list=PLwz5mNb2fSE-RQGZXll6-1HV3XmUF9Hdm\">Reality 4 for Poser and DAZ<\/a> and Digital Art Live&#8217;s &#8220;Mastering Reality&#8221; webinar bundle.<\/p>\n<p>* GumRoad. They&#8217;re just a platform and I don&#8217;t think they can do a &#8220;store-wide sale&#8221;. It&#8217;s down to individuals to discount. And I don&#8217;t yet see discounts on useful things like <a href=\"https:\/\/gumroad.com\/kritskiy\">Brusherator for Photoshop<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>* If you&#8217;re finding my Black Friday posts useful and saving a ton of money, please consider dropping me $1 a month or more via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/davehaden\">my Patreon<\/a>.
