Well, it’s nearly the end of February. Which means it’s time for a look at the new releases for Poser and DAZ. As usual, it’s just my personal selection of what caught my eye and wallet. It’s been a pretty good month for affordable 3D content, and it’s not yet quite over.<\/p>\n

\n

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

Storybook illustrators may like this complete Hazel outfit and props<\/a> for Genesis 3 female…<\/p>\n

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

Toon Nursery<\/a>…<\/p>\n

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

\n

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

The Armisael Wings<\/a> for Genesis 3 and Victoria. Expensive, but it’s nicely cross-compatible with either Poser or DAZ Studio. <\/p>\n

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

RawArt’s Frost Giant for Genesis 3 Male<\/a>…<\/p>\n

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

DA Let There Be Moss<\/a>. “A system for adding moss to any object in a scene” in DAZ Studio. Possibly useful for faerie scenes and quickly adding new detail to older scenes which have muddy rock\/tree textures.<\/p>\n

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

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

\n

Historical scenes:<\/strong><\/p>\n

WW2 Anderson Shelter<\/a>. A typical back-yard bomb shelter scene, from the British Home Front in the Second World War…<\/p>\n

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

I’m not a big fan of yet more medieval stuff, these days. But I have to tug my peasant forelock to Dante78 for his new Medieval Peasant House<\/a> for Poser. It’s the usual very high quality and detail from Dante78, and if sunk down into the ground a bit it might also pass for a more primitive Iron Age structure. It also has a generic fantasy-game type interior.<\/p>\n

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

The woodsman who lives here probably looks like the new Dragonsbane Barbarian Hair and Beard for Genesis 3 Male<\/a> (for Dragonsbane Barbarian Character HD<\/a>)…<\/p>\n

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

Missing Jet<\/a> is a crashed light aircraft \/ modern Robinson Crusoe scene complete with campsite and wolf-defying treetop bivouac. Possibly a scene that’s also useful in Vue, with some of the DAZ foliage stripped off and Vue trees\/ecosystem substituted.<\/p>\n

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

Lucky Vue users have a big new historical scene “Mel’s\u00a0Drive\u00a0In”<\/a>, which might perhaps be given a sci-fi twist with flying cars and hover-bikes and retro robots…<\/p>\n

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

This drive-in scene might be customised and enhanced in Photoshop, by being composited together with a render from the new Marquee Letters<\/a> for DAZ Studio.<\/p>\n

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

\n

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

Gynoid_Tronic for G3F<\/a>…<\/p>\n

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

The Gynoid_Tronic might work well in zero-gravity, inside the 2001<\/em>-like minimalism of the new Echo Lima Halls<\/a>…<\/p>\n

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

A well-designed unusual sci-fi dress is MMLT Dress Set For V4 Elite A4<\/a>. <\/p>\n

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

Hr-175 Spectrum<\/a> offers Victoria 4 hair as giant corn-row plaits, with a whole load of colour MATs. Possibly working well with the above MMLT Dress Set. Also likely to be useful alternative hair for something like a Trek<\/em>-style sci-fi command-deck scene with several V4 ‘deck crew’ extras in the background.<\/p>\n

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

There’s a nice sort-of late-1970s \/ mid-80s vibe to FaceMod<\/a> for the new 2ndGen<\/a> standalone robot figure for Poser.<\/p>\n

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

Retro sci-fi pulp-art fans have a cool new 1960s-style monster, Kytis for Genesis 2 Male<\/a> alien. <\/p>\n

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

Also looking rather fun are the Swarmz Raiders<\/a>. Definitely one for artists needing an unusual and fresh monster for your Doctor Who<\/em> etc fan-art (although the TV would give them a chunky genital-concealing belt). I especially like the idea of their teleporting \/ inter-dimensional-shifting MAT texture — all sci-fi monsters should have such an easy-apply texture option bundled with them…<\/p>\n

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

Need to send in the jets to destroy the Swarmz Raiders? KX Pilot Helmet for Genesis 3 female<\/a> looks like a usefully generic prop…<\/p>\n

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

Or perhaps the Swarmz Raiders can be taken out with the Dominator Crab<\/a>, Petipet’s new mega-turret. Currently sensibly priced at an introductory $11.87… <\/p>\n

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

Now that’s what I call a sci-fi turret. In terms of its design the Dominator works alongside Petipet’s similar Sci-fi Tank<\/a>, Sci-fi UFO<\/a>, Military Module<\/a> and Dominator<\/a>. Possibly these are manned (bugged?) by the new Mantisaran<\/a> race…<\/p>\n

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

\n

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

Abandoned Train Station<\/a> could, with a bit of makeover (remove modern warning lines\/decals, add rusty old steam trains) become a steampunk or valvepunk scene.<\/p>\n

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

The lovely AJ SteamFlyer 2.0<\/a> is now in a “new version of the previous ‘Steam Flyer For Poser’ package”. Now tested and tweaked for DAZ Studio and iRay, by the looks of it…<\/p>\n

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

DryJack<\/a> is continuing to produce beautifully crafted models for British 20th century steam-railway enthusiasts.<\/p>\n

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

10 Downing Street<\/a>, famously the home of the British Prime Minister. Complete with detailed interior, but I’d only want the famous door. Perhaps Blue Tree Studios might consider also making a cheaper frontage-only package?<\/p>\n

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

I see Blue Tree Studios also has the new Steampunk Slum<\/a>. I like its wibbly-wobbliness…<\/p>\n

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

Serenading his beloved in the yard of the Steampunk Slum might be the One Man Band for Genesis 3 Male<\/a>. Includes the usefully-generic top hat for G3M…<\/p>\n

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

\n

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

Millennial Business Casual Outfit for Genesis 3 Male<\/a> is a generic ‘millennial boy’ look. The hair is Heath Hair for Genesis 3 Male(s) & Female(s)<\/a>…<\/p>\n

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

Man About Town for Genesis 3 Male(s)<\/a> is a generic ‘online start-up \/ crowd-funder’ kind of chap.<\/p>\n

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

Oh My Body Hair for Genesis 3 Male<\/a> is “nine morphing fiber hair models” for G3M, for easy body hairiness…<\/p>\n

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

\n

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

HiveWire Cougar<\/a> for the Hivewire Big Cat…<\/p>\n

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

18 PuddyTat Poses<\/a> for the HiveWire House Cat. The Hivewire House Cat also has a BNB Talking Cat<\/a> add-on for Poser, for speech, and also emotion dials for human-like emotions.<\/p>\n

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

\n

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

Finally there are some possibly-useful helpers for Poser and DAZ Studio this month:<\/p>\n

Flamer – A flame tool<\/a> for Poser. Flamer is a basic “prop with shaping morphs used to create various fire objects such as fireballs, rocket flames, flames for torches and candle.” Could be useful for that time when you need a quick adjustable rocket exhaust or candle flame. So far as I can tell, you don’t also get presets with the emissive light shown in the store preview.<\/p>\n

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

FaceGen Artist Pro<\/a> lets you create DAZ Studio Genesis 2 or 3 heads from just one or two real-life photos of people. Windows-only.<\/p>\n

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

BOSS Pro Light Set for Portraits & Promos<\/a> in DAZ Studio, complete with place-holder mannequins to indicate exactly where to position your characters for the best results.<\/p>\n

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

Lastly Hands Dial-up for Genesis 3 Male and Female<\/a> is a big set of hand poses plus control dials.<\/p>\n

\n

That’s it. Another pick next month.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
