What’s been newly released for Poser and DAZ, since May 2018? I was going to do three seasonal surveys on this topic, as a catch-up: early summer 2018; Summer\/Autumn, and Autumn\/Winter 2018\/2019. But it seems simpler just to do one big survey of the very best and\/or most useful items for the whole period. <\/p>\n

It’s been a time of turmoil or change for some stores. Smith Micro’s Content Paradise<\/strong> store has vanished (with adequate notice, and time to grab the very best of my Wishlist), as has the Vue store Cornucopia3D<\/strong> (with no notice), but a number of the same content sellers can now be found elsewhere. <\/p>\n

Renderosity<\/strong> seems to have cured the bandwidth problems that had dogged it, and Rendo now once again works with a reasonable speed and responsiveness. Sadly, Renderosity would only let me track back through “What’s New” to the tail end of Halloween 2018, so I had to rely on my WishList and noted vendor pages for the May-October period.<\/p>\n

The CGBytes<\/strong> store went “offline for maintenance” as I was halfway through browsing it for the list below.<\/p>\n

There’s a new Artstation Marketplace<\/strong>, though it’s mostly Blender \/ ZBrush \/ and Photoshop do-dahs. <\/p>\n

The iClone Marketplace<\/strong> store<\/a> had a UI makeover, back in the summer I think, and it’s an improvement.<\/p>\n

Ok, well… with that store-tastic intro out the way, here’s my personal pick of the last nine months of Poser\/DAZ content. Freebies are only listed below if they’re ‘commercial use’.<\/p>\n

Dalos Outfit for Genesis 8 Female<\/a> with dForce jacket.<\/p>\n

* Retro SciFi Pulp Poses for M4\/V4<\/a> for Poser.<\/p>\n

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

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

* The paid Facial A-Hairness 2<\/a> for M4 and Poser.<\/p>\n

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

* Seahorse for the HiveWire Horse<\/a>.<\/p>\n

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

* Supreme Intelligencia HD for Genesis 8 Female<\/a> and Genesis 8 Male<\/a>.<\/p>\n

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

* The Bride Hair for V4<\/a>. Classic 1940s style ‘monster movie’ hair. Also for G3\/G8, although for some reason that page won’t open for me.<\/p>\n

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

* A free pose set<\/a> for The Great Kraken<\/a> for DAZ Studio.<\/p>\n

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

\n

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

* Oso Ammonoids<\/a>, cute creatures from prehistoric seas, which could be used with the new Aguja Undersea Environment<\/a> for DAZ.<\/p>\n

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

* An HD HH Triceratops<\/a>. Looks great. Also, though many will already have a T-Rex, there is also Tyrannosaurus Rex 2 Berserker<\/a> from the same content artist.<\/p>\n

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

\n

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

* Nature’s Wonders Turtles of the World Vol. 1 – Tortoise<\/a> for Poser and DAZ. By Poser nature expert Ken Gilliland.<\/p>\n

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

* Some of the Smith Micro Poser animals have made it over from Content Paradise to Renderosity, including a Quagga<\/a> and a Donkey<\/a>. The old Content Paradise Giant Octopus<\/a> is still available and also worth having.<\/p>\n

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

* Honey Bee Set For Vue<\/a>. Could be used with the new Brown Bear<\/a> for DAZ.<\/p>\n

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

* There’s a fine free jellyfish<\/a>, albeit for Blender and in need of extraction to OBJ. Although, in my experience, about 95% of the time trying to extract anything usable from a Blender .blend file is a nightmare that ends in failure.<\/p>\n

* Housefly by AM<\/a>, a very realistic and well textured standard housefly.<\/p>\n

* Photoreal Bramble, Blackberry and Briar Plants<\/a> for your dragonflies and butterflies.<\/p>\n

\n

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

* A new Morphing Sacred Cat<\/a> from Ancient Egypt.<\/p>\n

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

* Cat Motions for Poser<\/a>, animations for both the MillCat and the Hivewire cat, including idles.<\/p>\n

* Now on Renderosity, Smith Micro’s old Black Cat<\/a> and Cheshire Cat<\/a> for Poser. Rather basic these days, but usable with Sketch or Comic Book Preview renders.<\/p>\n

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

\n

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

* ShaaraMuse3D<\/a> has continued to produce a variety of quality HD grounds and terrains for both DAZ and Poser. Including a nice Frozen Natural Riverbank, and a fine sea-worn rockpool for your crabs and sea- weeds and seashells For Vue<\/a> and 7 Sea Shell Props for DAZ<\/a>…<\/p>\n

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

* A wealth of reasonably-priced Vue scenes<\/a> from Raffyraffy at CGTrader, possibly he was one of the former traders on Cornucopia3D? Don’t overlook his The Hideaway<\/a>.<\/p>\n

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

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

* A wealth of free Vue content was released by QuadSpinner a couple of months ago. Digital Art Live<\/em> magazine<\/a> #34 had the visual previews<\/a> and links…<\/p>\n

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

* Pine Grove for Daz<\/a>. Good for Hobbitry and more. Might be paired with Weeping Willow Trees<\/a> (which promises “as low a poly count as possible” re: render times). The texture-less product pictures suggest that the leaves of the Willow trees are not trans-mapped, so they may be suitable for tooning to line-art as well as being low-poly.<\/p>\n

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

* Old Man Willow – Pollarded Willows<\/a>.<\/p>\n

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

* Flinks Snowy Coniferous Forest<\/a> and the Smith Micro Moose<\/a> and Mammoth<\/a>. Both creatures are rather low-poly these days, but all the more suitable for getting a herd of them into your scene.<\/p>\n

\n

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

* dForce Mongol Armor for Genesis 8 Male<\/a>.<\/p>\n

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

* A free Egyptian boat for Poser<\/a>. And, for floating down the Nile, you may also want Reed Plants for Daz Studio and Iray<\/a>. Could also be used with the new Ancient Pharaoh for G3M<\/a>.<\/p>\n

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

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

* dForce Templar Outfit for Genesis 8 Male<\/a>. Although pitched as a Crusader outfit, it looks quite adaptable for a variety of ancient and desert scenes. I can imagine this as a Druid outfit, for instance, without any fancy neo-pagan embroidery chintz and with the aid of the new Wise Wizard Beard for Genesis 8 Male<\/a>.<\/p>\n

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

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

* A seedy 1970s hippies \/ Furry Freak Brothers<\/em> -style couch<\/a>.<\/p>\n

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

* On The Beach Outfit for Genesis 8 Male<\/a>, a 1950s and 60s British seaside character. Could also make a fairly good 1930s hiker or a vintage British allotment digger<\/a>.<\/p>\n

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

* Knickerbockers for Genesis 8 Male<\/a>, for your Downton<\/em> and similar vintage scenes.<\/p>\n

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

* Urban Living<\/a>, a 1970s \/ 80s London housing estate (Americans call them “housing projects”, I think?). And some suitable dForce Tracksuit textures<\/a> for the dForce Tracksuit Outfit for Genesis 8 Male<\/a>.<\/p>\n

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

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

* Vintage 70’s Pedal Bike<\/a> of the Chopper type.<\/p>\n

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

* Project Flintknapper for Genesis 8<\/a>. 15 archaeological dig poses.<\/p>\n

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

* British Commando Sweater for G3M<\/a>.<\/p>\n

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

* British Open Railway Wagon<\/a>, more quality railway work by DryJack. Also A Victorian Fire Hose Reel<\/a> which may interest those making scenes of vintage British train stations.<\/p>\n

* Pre-coiled Bits of Barbed wire<\/a> for Poser.<\/p>\n

\n

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

* dForce The Storyteller Outfit<\/a>.<\/p>\n

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

* The Anne of Green Gables<\/em> -style dForce Nostalgia Dress for Genesis 8 Female<\/a>.<\/p>\n

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

* A free dForce sleeveless dress for G8F<\/a> in the latest DAZ Studio.<\/p>\n

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

* Cadee Bundle for Genesis 8 Female<\/a>.<\/p>\n

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

* A free True Mirror for iRay<\/a> in DAZ Studio. With accurate light fall-off and green-shift.<\/p>\n

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

* Stonemason’s The Gothic Library<\/a>.<\/p>\n

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

* The Gothic Library might be equipped with the GWR Platform Ticket Machine<\/a> for Poser. This could become a “magic ticket” element in a storybook tale.<\/p>\n

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

* 1971s Flying House<\/a> on an island, and his Babushka Yaga House<\/a>.<\/p>\n

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

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

* Tane The Old Deer for Daz Horse 2<\/a>.<\/p>\n

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

\n

Comics and toon:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nursoda’s new figures Onats<\/a> and Utla<\/a> for Poser.<\/p>\n

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

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

Nursoda’s very newest is Blumi<\/a>. <\/p>\n

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

* Dinoraul’s fantasy dinosaur with toony face Ogaliks DR<\/a> for Poser.<\/p>\n

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

* A simple but stylish and free Ghost for V4<\/a> in Poser.<\/p>\n

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

* Free materials for Poser<\/a> tested to work in Preview mode, for use with Poser’s real-time Comic Book Preview.<\/p>\n

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

* Superfly material for SA Kitty<\/a>. Robo-cat Kitty ships with Poser for free.<\/p>\n

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

* Poses for Squidy<\/a>, a toon octopus, if you grabbed him before he vanished from Content Paradise. Amazingly, Darkseal says he only ever sold 13 copies there.<\/p>\n

\n

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

Photogrammetry : Creating Daz Studio Assets from Photos<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Powerful dForce Discoveries and Solutions<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Mastering UV Mapping with UVLayout<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n

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

* RSSY 3Delight to Iray Converter<\/a>. Which claims all the textures in a DAZ Studio scene can be updated for iRay in four clicks, including light-emissive materials.<\/p>\n

* The free Locate all image bitmaps<\/a> script shows you all the images driving the textures in the current scene.<\/p>\n

* And finally, Procedural Clay Material for Cycles<\/a>. Since Poser now uses Cycles for SuperFly, this could be ported to Poser. Similar to the Sculptural Genesis 8 Ultra Fun Kit<\/a> which turns any G8 figure into a statue.<\/p>\n
