Yes, it’s another survey of the new goodies for Poser and DAZ Studio users, the first since my last survey — which was at the end of July 2023.<\/p>\n

The big news in Poser is that the Mac version of Poser 13 has released, and in the very latest Poser (13.1.469)<\/a> there are “real-time Comic Book Preview improvements”.<\/p>\n

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

A generic future-hallway Terminal<\/a>. Perhaps it could also be a robot charging-station, if you added a couple of cables. Although in the future the charging will likely be done constantly by under-floor induction, Dalek style.<\/p>\n

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

A free Streamers Room<\/a> with a sci-fi vibe. For DAZ and Poser, and also has an OBJ folder.<\/p>\n

DAV Yasaki for Genesis 9<\/a>, a new semi-toon female with outfit.<\/p>\n

Cartoonized for Genesis 9<\/a>. Supposedly… “effortlessly transforms any character into a captivating cartoon version, all while preserving their distinctive features.” Most of it’s in the addition of big eyes, by the look of it.<\/p>\n

\n

The Sleuth<\/a>, now updated for Genesis 8.1.<\/p>\n

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

OpenPose for Poser 12<\/a> and 13. Send AI-ready poses and hand-poses to the Stable Diffusion AI, from Poser.<\/p>\n

Convert any image to lineart with SD’s ControlNet<\/a>. Looks promising. I wonder if the prompt “in the inking style of Jack Kirby” would work in combination with this method.<\/p>\n

“The Train is Leaving the Station… Get On Board With AI Art NOW<\/a>… or Waste Years Playing Catch-Up Later” makes a good case.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, maybe you’ll want the free “Not AI” – the transparent PNG logo set<\/a>.<\/p>\n
