Time for another survey and pick of what’s new for Poser and DAZ, and related software and AI. My last such survey was 17th September, so this is a six-week survey rather than a monthly survey.<\/p>\n

Temesta’s Octavia for La Femme 2<\/a>. “LF2” appears to be a somewhat agreed search term to use on the Renderosity store, to find characters for the new La Femme 2 base figure.<\/p>\n

Three conforming tails for Poser figures<\/a>. The maker says “they conform well to all the figures I’ve tested”, which look from the preview like V4, A4 and perhaps a Genesis import to Poser.<\/p>\n

\n

Tutorials:<\/strong><\/p>\n

How to (easily) combine all materials for a figure into one material<\/a>, for Poser 11 or higher.<\/p>\n

A video on saving memory and diskspace in Poser<\/a>, and another warning don’t activate Poser’s ‘Use File Compression’ option<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A video on using real world colour temperatures in Poser<\/a> and how to export rendered figures with a transparent background and shadows<\/a>. One video has the possibly important comment…<\/p>\n

“if you are using Superfly rendering, instead of tinting the color chip of the light to simulate actually daylight, attach a Blackbody node to the Light node to emit a more accurate daylight color temperature. Anything in the range of 5500 – 10000 degrees Kelvin will simulate a blue-tinted sky or shaded area.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

How to have a figure walk along a path in Poser 13<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Using Cam Depth-of-Field and Cam Lock in Poser 13<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Why you should sometimes view your scene through the shadowcam<\/a> in Poser.<\/p>\n

Your free V3 to V4 pose converter<\/a>, that creates more or less accurate conversions.<\/p>\n

Putting an RTX 3060 card in an HP Z600 workstation<\/a>.<\/p>\n

TriAx Figures from Old Parametric Figures<\/a> for DAZ Studio. “This 69 page tutorial takes you step by step through the process of doing the conversion yourself with Aiko 3. At the end of the process, your TriAx A3 can wear A3, V3, M3, G3F, G3M, G8F and G8M clothing and hair using autofit technology”. Interesting.<\/p>\n

Creating an animatable target light<\/a> in DAZ Studio.<\/p>\n

A new video on Mimic Pro for DAZ Carrara – a Basic Intro<\/a>. Mimic being for lip-syncing of characters.<\/p>\n

\n

Comic-book production:<\/strong><\/p>\n

An unusual MAT in the form of Grid Suit for G8F<\/a> in DAZ Studio. Useful for comics makers who need drawing guides for draw-overs.<\/p>\n

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

On YouTube, The Secrets Behind Classic Inking Techniques<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n

Desktop software: <\/strong><\/p>\n

Poser is now at 13.1.518<\/a> (October 2023). Related videos: Principled Volume Shader in Poser 13!<\/a> and Saving to the content library – A great improvement<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The mature 2D animation software Moho 14 has been released, along with a long free Webinar \u2013 What’s new in Moho 14<\/a>.<\/p>\n

3DCoat now has Live Booleans<\/a>.<\/p>\n

PD Howler has PBR and a new PBR basics – metallic appearance<\/a> video tutorial.<\/p>\n

At the Internet Archive the old Mojoworld 3.11 Pro<\/a> and also the software’s PDF manual and two key tutorials<\/a>. An install of Poser 6 is required to import .PZ3 files to a MojoWorld. The software’s old Quicktime QTVR ‘360-degree bubble’ can be fairly easily converted to modern 360-degree VR formats<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Painter 2023 Humble Bundle<\/a>, an offer now on for a limited time.<\/p>\n

Photoshop Elements 2024 is released and at last has a dark mode.<\/p>\n

It looks like the chance to buy Zign Track 2<\/a> for Poser has vanished. The software offered ‘stick bobbles on your face’ marker-based facial mo-cap for Poser figures, working with a standard webcam.<\/p>\n

\n

AI:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Videos for the InvokeAI 3.2 Release<\/a> and 3.3 Release<\/a>. InvokeAI is perhaps the best starter UI framework<\/a> for new generative AI users, provided they’re already used to the sort of complexity required in 3D software. See also the tutorial Use InvokeAI’s ControlNet with any 3D software to generate the poses you want<\/a> with automated OpenPose estimation from a basic Poser render…<\/p>\n

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

Skybox AI<\/a> – seamless 360-degree VR bubbles from text prompts and sketches. Five free goes, then you sign up. Impressive and fast, at the moment.<\/p>\n

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