\n

Scripts and other auto-helpers:<\/strong><\/p>\n

A new script to help with Poser camera management<\/a>. Scroll down to the bottom of the thread for V3.<\/p>\n

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

Visibility Helper<\/a> for DAZ Studio.<\/p>\n

DAZ Anilip 2 First Impressions<\/a> video and Workflow Demonstration<\/a>.<\/p>\n

An update for the free G3\/G8\/G9 Pose Converter Plugin for DAZ Studio 4.2x<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Sighmoan1’s Colourchanger<\/a>. Change the background colour of a batch of images with a simple Python script. Many uses, e.g. if your old greenscreen backdrop wasn’t quite compatable with a new greenscreen remover?<\/p>\n

A paid Creative Pipeline Bundle<\/a>. Apparently includes Blender to DAZ “Transfer custom characters, rigs, textures, and animations with perfect material fidelity”, and Photoshop .PSD to Blender. Expensive, but presumably aimed at character creators for the DAZ Store.<\/p>\n

Blender 5.0<\/a> final is out, and among other things bumps up the ‘micropoly displacement’ in Cycles from experimental to official and also appears to have re-named it. Sadly 5.0 came out only about nine days before Poser 14, so apparently Poser’s newest Cycles doesn’t have this feature yet.<\/p>\n

\n

AI and similar helpers:<\/strong><\/p>\n

All free, as is the way with local AI.<\/em><\/p>\n

ComfyUI 3D Index<\/a>… “A curated index of 220+ ComfyUI nodes for 3D generation, processing, and visualization.” Last updated December 2025.<\/p>\n

The new model Qwen Image Layered<\/a>, for Img-to-PSD (layered). Automatic extraction of elements in a single image, to layers.<\/p>\n

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

The latest InvokeAI<\/a> now supports Z-Image Turbo. Invoke is the main competitor to ComfyUI, but hides the nodes and is more Photoshop-like. <\/p>\n

Z-Image Turbo demos for some of the artistic styles<\/a> that can simply be prompted for. Note also that Z-Image Turbo, fast though it is, can be more than doubled in speed with the Hunchaku 256 version (NVIDIA only). Nunchaku and other speed-ups are worth investigating, before you buy a new graphics-card — it may be that the 2X boost you want from the card can be had from free speed-ups.<\/p>\n

My tests show the following SDXL LoRAs also work with SD 1.5: SDXL Syd Mead | SDXL Inkdrawing | Watercolour comic-book (Gabriel-Ba style) | and Scifi Fantasy Book Cover – SDXL (Peter Andrew Jones style).<\/p>\n

Radeon graphics cards now have much better compatibility with ComfyUI. The new AMD ROCm 7.1.1 Preview driver is now officially supported by the very latest ComfyUI Desktop\/Portable (v0.7.0), and workarounds like Zluda are no longer needed. This may be important for some because the 24Gb Radeon cards (especially important for video generation and use of large LLMs) are significantly more affordable than NVIDIA.<\/p>\n

Houdini 21<\/a> is out, and there’s a Houdini ComfyUI bridge 0.5<\/a> (Jan 2026) to use ComfyUI image generation within the pro-level Houdini software.<\/p>\n

ComfyUI-NAG<\/a> restores your negative prompts for fast \/ turbo \/ DMD models that require CFG 1.0 (and thus don’t ordinarily allow negative prompting). <\/p>\n

Liveportrait<\/a> lets you adjust eye-gaze direction in any image. Especially useful for comics. <\/p>\n

In audio, the new TTS Chatterbox Turbo in ComfyUI, with batch<\/a>. Chatterbox produces high-quality AI voices, based on voices you supply as reference .WAV files. There’s also Stable Audio with batch<\/a>, for making sound FX files from text prompts.<\/p>\n
