Of interest to comics-maker using Poser, Darkseal now has stuff on the DAZ Store<\/a> that I’ve not seen before, or which I assumed had vanished along with Content Paradise. He also has a sale on, right now.<\/p>\n

Sadly no Neo Navigator or Rift Guardian, but we do get Rift Walker and Boon. His Boon toons reasonably well and takes M4 poses. Quite possibly Warframe<\/em>, so think twice about commercial use of either. Also, the Rift Walker is vaguely similar to a Warhammer<\/em> Genestealer, so commercial use in a comic etc could also be iffy.<\/p>\n

Bugboy is even better in terms of tooning, although… you need to manually remove the eye-catching nipples and other distracting tackle that he loads with. But this is easily done, just make them invisible. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I never purchased the matching female version, as the megaboob-iness is a bit naff and I can’t think where I might use the figure. But I assume it toons to lineart in Poser 11 Smooth Shaded + Comic Book B&W just as nicely. I assume both BugBoy and Girl are original characters, and so could be used commercially?<\/p>\n

Frye can toon reasonably well, but is more of a cartoonists’ aid for overdrawing. Probably best not to make him a flame-creature though, re: Howl’s Moving Castle<\/em>. He comes with an additional ‘ice’ MAT.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Be warned that Darkseal’s Alien Podz don’t toon at all well in lineart, because they have few edges, and I recall I was also disappointed with his BioSkin series for tooning too. Painted details, rather than geometry. <\/p>\n

No NearMe outfits or Cherry, or Squiddy. I’m fairly sure they’re all off the market now. On DAZ is one I’ve never seen before, though. There’s a ChupacabraP8Dog MAT for Stonemason’s Poser 8 Dog, a base animal figure which shipped free with Poser way back. As it was a flagship figure it has masses of morphs and dials.<\/p>\n

He toons surprisingly nicely and has an expressive face. I’d always assumed he was just an old Poser Doberman. He can take DAZ sheep and pig poses, though not all that well. ChupacabraP8Dog is just the useful “ghost-dog” skin, and also note that CG Bytes has a Dalmatian skin and possibly some additional posing morphs.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Of the Space Bugs trio I only have the Drone, and it toons fairly well. Good for background decoration in big sci-fi scenes, and it doesn’t appear to be from Warhammer<\/em>, Warframe<\/em> etc. You could probably fit a saddle to it for a spaceport scene…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

No poses but the Drone will take poses for the old DAZ Sheep, Pig etc very nicely.<\/p>\n

Zulaynear for Cookie<\/a> is also on the Store, though under a different vendor name.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
