Welcome to my regular pick of goodies for Poser and DAZ, and my round-up of other interesting software. <\/p>\n

\n

Science fiction:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Robo Pack<\/a>. Lovely looking bots, and currently a lovely $14 price too. But… then you find out that they’re “props” and not rigged, which explains the price. Still, very nice designs.<\/p>\n

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

Need your Area 52 UFOs repairing? dForce Tech Engineer Outfit<\/a>. <\/p>\n

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

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

Stonemason’s Lakehaven<\/a>, which could make a pretty good Laketown in Middle-earth.<\/p>\n

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

Arboriel for Genesis 9<\/a>.<\/p>\n

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

Ashkin for Genesis 9<\/a>.<\/p>\n

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

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

\n

Gothic and horror:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Gharton for Poser<\/a>. Not sure if it’s a D&D<\/em> monster, so beware of commercial use.<\/p>\n

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

Snake Man for Poser<\/a> and Blattodacid for Poser<\/a>. Again, possibly D&D<\/em> monsters?<\/p>\n

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

\n

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

Elven Zeppelin<\/a> by 1971s. For Poser and DAZ. I don’t recall seeing this one before, and I don’t think it’s a re-release?<\/p>\n

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

Fire Fly<\/a> by 1971s. Another new release? Moon Observatory not included but it’s here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

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

Steampunk Operator HD Stylized Clothes for Genesis 9<\/a>. It seems you don’t also get the stylised hair and beard, so I guess they’ll be in another pack yet to be released?<\/p>\n

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

An unusual Tinheart Clockwork Set<\/a>.<\/p>\n

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

\n

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

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

\n

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

LowPi Formations Builder<\/a>. Auto-build formations of military men (low-poly), for large scale battle scenes.<\/p>\n

KBXF Slow Motion Player<\/a> for DAZ. Seems to be a helper for animators.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

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

* Alpha-Trimmer<\/a>, a new free… “Windows tool that automatically trims excess transparent areas from .PNG images, via the Windows context menu (i.e. the right-click menu)”.<\/p>\n

* Nikse<\/a> is a free open-source subtitle editor \/ extractor \/ converter, able to convert between 300 subtitle formats.<\/p>\n

* Blender v5 is now at v5.1. Also note the free Blender-ComfyUI-Bridge<\/a>, promising… “real-time, bidirectional communication between Blender and ComfyUI” in a round-trip. Python, so one wonders if it could be adapted for Poser.<\/p>\n

\n

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

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

* SD-ppp<\/a> one of the best known ways to connect Photoshop to ComfyUI, now updated to a late December 2025 version. Sadly it requires the very latest version of Photoshop. There appears to be no ComfyUI connector for Photoshop versions lower than CC 2019. <\/p>\n

* Collection of simple fixed user-interfaces for ComfyUI<\/a>, for the node-phobic.<\/p>\n

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

* Flux2 Klein is the latest hot Edit model. It’s a marvel, and its 4B GGUFs (working workflow<\/a>) can be run fast on low-spec hardware. See also the vital Official prompting Guide for Flux.2 Klein<\/a>.<\/p>\n

* Flux2 Klein can do face-swaps on its own, with a simple prompt (e.g. “Extract the face from image 1 and paste it into Image 2, completely replacing the face. Retain the exact facial features in image 1.”). But there’s also a dedicated Face-Swap and Head-Swap(!) assistant for Flux2 Klein 4B<\/a>, with workflows.<\/p>\n

* Also for 4B. Flux2 Klein 4B Spritesheet generator<\/a>, which looks like it may be of interest to those in the early stages of modelling an object in 3D. Since it outputs top-down and side views from a simple photo of an object…<\/p>\n

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

* SAM-3D-Pose-Analyzer<\/a> is a Python software with GUI. Drop in a photo of a pose, get a .BVH pose output that will then pose a 3D figure in Clip Studio. The possibilities for adapting this to do the same for Poser figures are obvious. <\/p>\n

* ComfyUI-face-shape<\/a>. Detects the face shape\/features in a 2D image, then sets these up for your warping. Offering… “extensive control over individual facial features including outer head outline (with separate jaw and forehead controls), eyes (with independent rotation), irises, eyebrows, nose (single merged object), and lips (upper and lower with direction-specific scaling)”. I’m fairly sure there was Windows face-morphing funware that did this, back in the day. But it’s good to see AI catching up. <\/p>\n

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

* “Inochi2D is an open standard for real-time 2D puppet animation”, and it now has ComfyUI-Inochi2d<\/a> nodes. Never heard of it, but possibly useful for 2D puppeteers. <\/p>\n

* ComfyUI nodes for “overlay alignment, colour correction based on a reference image”<\/a>. In Russian, but easily auto-translated. Related is FluxKontextImageCompensate<\/a>, an attempt to fix the problem of unwanted image shifting, cropping and zooming. The problem is not unique to Flux Kontext, as all Edit models suffer from it to an extent.<\/p>\n

* A huge Celebrity LoRA browser<\/a> with preview images and links to the whereabouts. Sadly it uses .PNG for images, so loads very slowly.<\/p>\n

* ComfyUI-Align<\/a>, a simple intuitive way to straighten up your messy ComfyUI node workflows.<\/p>\n

* And finally, Fixed Clean Styles – DAZ Studio<\/a>, a LoRA that renders your Z-Image Turbo images like it’s 1999 and you just made a DAZ render that took four hours.<\/p>\n

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

\n

Coming soon:<\/strong><\/p>\n

* TeleStyle<\/a>, when implemented for ComfyUI. Complete style makeovers for video files (e.g. live-action to rotoscoped-style drawing) with temporal stability (i.e. no flicker \/ wobble between frames). Some say this can already be done, but this appears to make it much easier to do. Probably in ComfyUI within weeks.<\/p>\n

* Intel OIDN 3<\/a>. Already integrated into Poser, OIDN nicely denoises grainy 3D renders and thus reduces render times. The new 3.0 version promises temporal stability for de-noising of video frames rendered from 3D, which should interest Poser animators looking to render quickly. Due in Q3 2026.<\/p>\n

* VNCCS Pose Studio node for ComfyUI<\/a>. Currently in early beta (see the 0.4 release) and untested by me as yet, but potentially it looks like having a basic mini-Poser inside ComfyUI. Could be a game-changer?<\/p>\n

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

Character reference -> ‘pose and position’ window -> generated image with posed character in the desired position.<\/p>\n
