Summer's over and it is time to go back to school!  Make the campus and halls of school thrum with life with the new Now-Crowd Billboards - School Life! Paint your school and campus scenes FULL of people walking the halls, studying, talking and sitting quietly during class in high quality, flexible and easy to use billboards... perfect as a backdrop for the main action that you add!

Billboards are a fantastically quick and resource easy way to add background crowds to your scenes. These pre-rendered elements are great to play the background characters in your scene. The Now-Crowd Billboards improves on standard billboards by providing 72 different views for every billboard figure. Change a billboard figure to 12 different horizontal angles and 6 different vertical angles. When your camera moves, the Now-Crowd Billboards can be changed to match!

There are also great scripts to make these billboards easy to use! There is one script to turn the billboards to face the camera and another script to change billboard figure angle based on horizontal and vertical orientation.  Finally, there is a script that pushes your billboard directly away from your camera view or pulls it towards you.

For Iray and 3Delight

• Voxelizer: Create fills using spheres, cubes, pyramids, or copies of any scene object with nine packing strategies, live primitive count estimation, and a built-in preview camera. Render efficiently with instances or enable Use Copies for full per primitive editing.
• Voxelizer Colorize: Automatically sample colors from the source mesh with five color modes, six built-in palettes plus custom palettes, gradient editing with alpha, follower-aware sampling, strand-aware gradients for dForce hair, and standalone recolor support.
• Voxelizer Dynamics: Animate voxel fills using seven motion types including explosions, wind, kinetic strikes, and structural collapse. Motion is baked to ERC keyframes for easy editing on the DAZ Studio timeline.
• Integrated Workflow: Colorize and Dynamics appear as native tabs inside the Voxelizer interface and can also run independently to recolor or animate existing voxel groups.
• Compatible with Daz Studio 4.24 and Daz Studio 6 with automatic settings persistence across the complete bundle.

Voxelizer

Turn any figure, prop, or scene into a swarm of primitives. Genesis 9 in 3,000 cubes. A sci-fi dragon as a cloud of glowing spheres. A medieval tower built from tessellating pyramids. One click, one fill, one new aesthetic for your render — Voxelizer is your gateway to Minecraft-style voxel art, crystalline faceted sculpture, particle-cloud renders, and a dozen other visual languages that traditional rendering can't reach.

Four primitive types. Nine packing strategies. Real creative range. Fill with spheres, cubes, pyramids, or copies of any scene object — voxelize a vase with miniatures of itself, fill a Genesis figure with rocks, line a sword with smaller swords. Pick your packing: dense surface voxelization for clean Minecraft-style cubes, organic Poisson seeding for natural surface coverage, hexagonal close-packing for honeycomb interiors, or interleaved pyramids that tessellate tip-to-tip like crystal lattices. Voxelize strand-based dForce hair too — two strand-aware strategies turn flowing hair into clouds of cubes, spheres, or strand aligned pyramids.

Real-time creative feedback that respects your machine. A live primitive-count estimate updates as you drag the Size slider, so you can dial in fill density before you commit — no costly surprises, no thirty minute "oops, that was too small" recoveries. One click of Suggest Size auto-targets a comfortable ~1,000 prims for fast iteration. The Preview Camera orbits and frames your fill before you accept. Settings save automatically between runs.

Smart materials, no plugin required. Cycle through palette colors, paint a solid color, or copy the source material — preserving metal as metal, glass as glass, emissive as emissive. Need accurate per-prim color sampled from the source texture? Drop in Voxelizer Colorize and every cube paints itself from the figure it's voxelizing. Want destruction? Voxelizer Dynamics adds physics — explode, blast, wind-sweep, kinetic-strike, or slowly disintegrate your fills with one click. Plugins integrate as native tabs in the Voxelizer dialog and enable themselves automatically when their prerequisites are met.

Per-prim creative control. Switch on Use Copies and every primitive becomes an independent node you can recolor, restyle, or hand-tune directly in the Surfaces pane like any other Daz Studio asset — select a region of cubes and assign them a new material, swap shaders, or apply surface presets to taste.

Built for both versions of Daz Studio. Fully compatible with DS 4.24 and DS 6, with automatic settings persistence. From Minecraft-style cube portraits to dissolving glass figures to physics-driven destruction shots — if you can see it in primitives, you can build it with Voxelizer.

Features

• Four Primitive Types: Fill with Spheres, Cubes, Pyramids, or copies of another scene object for endless creative styles.

• Nine Packing Strategies: Choose how primitives are distributed — Surface Cubic, Surface Shell, Surface Seeded, Slab, Cubic, Hexagonal Close-Packed, Interleaved, Vertex Cloud, and Strand Following. The first seven suit different mesh sources — densely-tessellated figures, coarsely tessellated architecture, thin shells, thick walls, or solid interiors. The last two are strand-based dForce hair-aware: Vertex Cloud emits axis-aligned prims at every hair cell, Strand Following emits the same cells with each prim oriented along its hair tangent.

• Live Estimate: See an estimated primitive count update as you drag the Size slider, so you can pick a count before committing to a fill.

• Smart Color Modes: Cycle through palette colors, apply a solid color, or copy the source surface material to each primitive.

• Instanced or Unique: Render fast with instances by default, or check Use Copies to enable per prim decoration by installed plugins.

• Plugin Architecture: Add-on products such as Voxelizer Colorize and Voxelizer Dynamics integrate as additional tabs in the Voxelizer dialog and automatically enable or disable based on your settings.

• Preview Camera: Orbit, zoom, and frame your fill before committing.

• DS 6 Support: Fully compatible with the latest version of Daz Studio.

Fabi

It's required by Ultra Scenery Toolbox - Volume One and Billboard Builder, and supported by Multi Map Loader (generating 4K UV wireframe texturemaps in second rather than minutes). The plugin comes with API documentation and a sample script showing how to use it from a script. The idea is to update the plugin when I need new fuctions for new scripts, and I have some update plans for older scripts that heavliy depend on graphics to speed some performance bottleneck operations up.

Preset shelf items load the preset on click (Ctrl-click navigates to the folder that has the preset instead). Folder shelf items navigate to the folder in Content Library. Property shelf items navigate to the property in the Parameters pane. Drag and drop makes it easy to add, move or reorder shelf items.

Tabs can be aligned on all sides. Shelf items flow freely inside of the available space so you can dock the plugin anywhere and go for a horizontal or vertical layout.

Additional useful utility functions can be found in the Right-click menu of each zone. Flip, mirror or reset only the the body parts you want, or reset expressions on the head.

Start combining poses the way it was meant to be! 

The bundle conistis off a base product - Pine Forests Hemlock Grove - a huge set of Mountain Hemlock Trees in all sizes and The Pine Forests Hemlock Grove Addon which gives you more unusually shaped trees growing from vertical or steep sloped surfacesm tree stumps and logs - perfect for adding even more interest to your scene!

The plants and objects are detailed but low enough resolution that they will work in instancing and also can be put in to ultrascenery ecosystems via alienater! 

Ultimate Zero FIXES the hard to find pose issues caused by the combination of POSE PROPERTIES and bone TRANSFORMATIONS. Gain perfect control of zeroing out any body part or selection. Ultimate Zero will zero the bones, ignoring or respecting locks (it is up to you), and even zeroing out associated pose properties while leaving the rest of the bones alone!

Eliminate menu scrolling/trying to find what pose property is doing what - Ultimate Zero is great for complicated expressions where there's some partially-dialed-in-pose-parameter that won't go away, or a left over "gun pose" and some fingers won't unbend... Fists that have limits and the hand never properly closes or opens... Eyes that won't reset unless you kill the entire head and start over...

Ultimate Zero Figure and Ultimate Zero Selected will work with any figure in Daz Studio. Other scripts such as Ultimate Zero Hands or Ultimate Zero Lower Half look up specific bone names automatically and are designed to be compatible with Michael 4/Victoria 4 to Genesis 8 (though they will work with many other figures that use the same bone names).

BONUS: Includes 2 scripts to turn on or off the locks for the selected node(s) and their children as well as a script to install the scripts as custom actions in the Daz Studio menu.

A big thank you to @Griffin Avid for the idea for this product!

• Fixed issue with not finding user-facing files in the Animals folders
• Added warning if overwriting a configuration file
• Added ability to unzip on loading configuration file
• Added search button for Product Name

Instructions (provided by Mark_e593e0a5)

To get rid of the SmartContent for a product:

• locate the product in your smart content, right click on the product and select "Show Product in Content Library". The view should change from the SmartContent tab to the Content Library tab, with the product selected. If not, you my have to try a second time.
• On the product in the Content Library, right click the product. From the menu, select "Delete". Confiirm the deletion in the popou that appears. Not that this does ONLY remove the SmartContent data; all product files stay where they are.

This is the workflow I follow in CW (CW is already started):

• Add the product ithumbnail (the thumbnail from e.g. Rendo)
• Add the product ZIP's (all of them. I usually ignore any template files.
• Fill in the product data (product name will be pre-populated based on the first ZIP file CW loads) for the product ID, I usually use the SKU if the store provides one, or the number the first ZIP file contains (e.g. Rendo)
• Once all data is in, I start the "Analyse" process. After finishing that.
• check the SmartContent tab, if all items are categorized the way you want them. Some PA's do have weird directory structures and namings, so CW might guess some items incorrect.
• correct the metadata for misplaced items (poses are very hard for CW to categorize, as there is no naming convention and even "looking into"! the pose file would not help. So poses are extra work in categorizing.
• once all is done, I save the configuration.
• Then, I hit the "install Content" button. You may get some dialog that files already do exist. Usually, these are readme or licence files you can safely ignore or overwrite.
• Once that is finished, I click on "Install Smart Content". Note that this can tike some time depending on the type of item CW has to load. SmartContent has to load items into a scene to create renders of it. So this can be time consuming if you e.g. create the smart content data for a Genesis 8 figure 
• Once that is finished, I save the file(s) using the "Export ZIP file(s) and Self-Installer.
• Save the configuration file again as that has been updated with information from Daz Studio in the "Install Smart Content" step
• It is recommended you archive the configuration file, exported ZIP file(s), and the original ZIP files

A side not: I use a DS installation on a virtual machine for CW. This is to avoid the long scene loading process with my library of Genesis 8 figures. Plus I can use DIM for installing and un-installing(!) the freshly created CW files 

Another side note: you may find out that sometimes CW cannot unzip the ZIP files. A symptom could be "no facing files were detected in the product" This is a limitation of the zip decoder within DS. In that case, open the zip file in e.g. WinZIP or 7Zip and save it again.

To your other question: yes, you CAN use CW to fix metadata issues with DAZ products. If you D/L a DAZ product, you get a ZIP file that starts with IM. That file contains all you need, including the thumbnail. (you have to extract that one first, it is located in Content/Runtime/Support.

this post will allow you to know the progress status of the updates or new builds of ALL my scripted products for Daz Studio 2025. As many of you know, many scripted products will not basically work with Daz Studio 2025 until they are updated, this is why I plan to update them all during the next weeks/months (depending on how difficult it is, I keep my fingers crossed it will only be weeks).  After recent discussions with the Daz Team, it’s better to wait until the Daz Studio 6 scripting API becomes more stable before submitting the next round of builds, but that doesn’t prevent me from preparing everything in advance so things can move quickly when the time comes

IMPORTANT NOTE FOR USERS OF OLD DAZ STUDIO VERSIONS :  I cannot test/check the compatibility below Daz Studio 4.22, and some reconnections of the connectors may be problematic for such old versions. So if you are using a Daz Studio version below 4.22, my recommendation is : do not update until someone can confirm if it works or not, and download a manual install zip now before the updates are live (so that you can restore in case of an accidental update). The only input I have is that a couple of wet and tanned skins were tested in older version of Daz Studio without issue.

Note concerning menu installations

For products that install scripts into menus, the updates for small products are working as expected, with one menu installation per session. The updates for large products (more than 27 scripts added to menus) are currently on stand-by. The reason is a limitation observed in Daz Studio itself: it does not seem possible to install more than 27 scripts into menus, while toolbar installations work correctly. This behavior is not caused by the scripts themselves. As a result, the only option at the moment is to wait and see how this evolves during the DS6 alpha phase.

So far, only two products are affected: 1. Ultimate Pose Mixer 2. Ultimate Pose Mixer Pro with Mega Pose Toolkit. More products could potentially be impacted if this limitation turns out to be per menu rather than per installation.

1. Already working in DS 2025

Wayfinder Sign Generator. Only limitation in DS 6 is the "style" of the font (italic, bold) which often cannot be chosen properly, and this is something I cannot solve on my side.

Write Anywhere Plus Advanced LIE and Aging Tools. Only limitation in DS 6 is the "style" of the font (italic, bold) which often cannot be chosen properly, and this is something I cannot solve on my side.

Wet and Tanned Skins for Genesis 2. (if used on starter base figures or figures without bump, please load one of the  "Use Wetness Maps and Settings Of..." preset after conversion)

V3D Christmas Gifts and Tree (with log warnings, but ornaments loading or swapping work fine)

Snow Globe Your World (with the limitation of small "thumbs" for snowlfakes choice in the interface, waiting to see how DS 6 evolves, but scripts work anyway).

Medina Cityscape Generator (with a couple of non dangerous log warnings)

XTreme Reshader for Iray Uber : works

Advanced Collective Transform Tools : works, The only thing to be aware of is the menu and toolbar installer: it must be run in a fresh session, before accessing or modifying any menus or toolbars. If menus or toolbars have already been touched during the session, the installer will fail in DS6.

2. Submitted, live, compatible DS4 and DS6 ! (please contact me if you see issues)

Texture Booster and Shader Converter : Update submitted, LIVE, along with enhancement features (such as the possibility to enter your values using keyboard).

Ultimate Iray Skin Manager : Update submitted, LIVE, along with enhancement features (such as a much faster launch speed).

If some of you already had some of the scripts working or not working on Daz Studio 2025, please let me know here. The same way, if you see scripts having the status Submitted, live, compatible DS4 and DS6, and that you see that something does not work for you (once updated on your side), let me know here.

I thank you in advance for all the feedback and information you would provide to fasten and ease this update process.

Bring breakable props, flying debris, cracked surfaces, and animated destruction directly into Daz Studio.

Voronoi Shatter Tool lets you fracture mesh props into real shard geometry, create dramatic still-image breakage, or run PhysX-based simulations for impacts, falling debris, blast effects, and animated destruction. From cracked barrels and shattered windows to collapsing statues and scattered wreckage, it gives Daz Studio artists a practical destruction workflow without leaving Daz Studio.

What You Can Do

• Create shattered mesh props for still renders
• Simulate animated impacts and debris
• Break objects on impact, on a chosen frame, or through glass-style hit behavior
• Launch objects toward targets
• Create explosion-style shard motion
• Turn static shattered pieces into dynamic simulation objects
• Keep selected areas visually pinned with protected-zone paint maps
• Save, reload, clean up, and export baked shatter results

Main Features

Static Shatter

• Fast static fracture for still-image work
• Creates grouped shard geometry from selected mesh props
• Source object can be hidden instead of destroyed
• Useful for cracked props, pre-broken objects, rubble, and stylized debris layouts

PhysX Simulation

• Assign scene objects as static, dynamic, breakable, or static until hit
• Simulate impacts, falling pieces, projectiles, and blast-style motion
• Bake generated shard animation into the Daz Studio timeline
• Clear and rerun simulations while testing different setups

Fracture Styles

• Uniform breakage for general destruction
• Radial patterns for glass-like or center-out damage
• Local patterns for focused impact areas
• Splinter patterns for wood, boards, beams, and long fragments

Impact and Motion Controls

• Break on frame
• Break on impact
• Break-through / glass-style shattering
• Launch targets
• Blast centers and directional markers
• Explosion force and shard motion controls
• Static Until Hit behavior for staged breakaway pieces

Mesh Prep Tools

• Repair common problem meshes before shattering
• Weld split vertices
• Remove degenerate or duplicate triangles
• Close holes where possible
• Create a repaired duplicate instead of damaging the original prop

Protected-Zone Paint Maps

• Paint areas that should stay visually anchored during static shatter layout
• Useful for controlled cracking, attached fragments, or pinned shard compositions
• Helps keep selected regions in place while other shards separate

Material Options

• Preserve outside source material appearance where possible
• Set custom inside shard colors
• Add optional inside textures
• Use shared material behavior for better performance on large shard counts
• Companion helper script included for material cleanup workflows

Packages, Cleanup, and Export

• Save and load shatter/simulation packages
• Preserve helper nulls used for targets and blast controls
• Restore hidden source objects
• Clear generated simulation data
• View diagnostic logs
• Export baked results as a glTF cache for portable geometry and animation workflows

Great For

• Broken barrels, crates, bottles, rocks, statues, walls, and props
• Shattered glass and impact damage
• Rubble piles and debris fields
• Animated destruction shots
• Exploded-view fracture renders
• Fantasy, sci-fi, horror, action, and disaster scenes

Important Notes

Voronoi Shatter Tool is built for practical Daz Studio destruction effects, not engineering-grade structural simulation. Clean, closed mesh geometry works best. Very high shard counts can create heavy Daz Studio scenes, so test with lower counts first and increase detail once the result is stable.

glTF export is intended as a baked geometry and animation cache. It supports practical material approximation for common file-backed textures, but complex Daz/Iray shader networks may need cleanup in the destination application.

Compatibility

• Daz Studio 4.24.x.x
• Daz Studio 6.25.2026.xxxxx
• 64-bit Windows only

Scene Optimizer is a three tabbed interface dedicated help you to to lower the memory requirement and/or speed up renders and/or get a more responsive viewport by acting on various levels : maps resolution, "useless" maps removal, translucency removal, visibility, mesh resolutions, instances management.

Store Maps can store in a text file all the paths of the maps used in your scene so that you can restore them later on, using the Restore Maps scripts, on any selected node or surface of your scene. Store and Restore maps scripts can also be used for LIE baking or maps set swapping.

They work for both Iray and 3Delight, even if optimization necessits more efforts and is less efficient on 3Delight. The most impressive result is when Scene Optimizer manages to "fit in your video board" an Iray Scene which was initially too big for it.

I open this thread for anybody with remarks or questions about any of the scripts included. I hope this tool will help you.

SCENE OPTIMIZER SCRIPTS REQUIRE DAZ STUDIO 4.9.3.29 OR ABOVE

January 2018 update is live !

As some of you may have noticed, there are more and more png with alpha transparency used for make up or the eyebrows of Genesis 8 females. The map reduction of these, due to the transparency, often leads to a "black face" phenomenon. The logical solution should be to unchek the checkbox in the interface "Also reduce LIE maps / Also replace on surfaces png files with alpha transparency by their lower resolution version (see comments bottom of this tab)" and rerun the script, but it presently does not work, because until today, if the "black map" has already been created, it is loaded anyway, unless you physically remove the "black reduced image" from the content folder.

The bug which this january update solves is this bug : if you already had reduced these maps with transparency, then they were reloaded even if you unchecked the checkbox mentioned above. After this update (to be submitted before the 11th of january), this box will be unchecked by default, and the automatic load of the reduced maps with transparency will be disabled. This will prevent the "black face" phenomenon and if, by error, you check this box and the face becomes black after running the script, then you simply have to undo the script in Daz Studio, and re-run it without checking the box. The counterpart will be that the maximum width and height displayed by the interface for your figure will remain unchanged since the size of the maps with transparency will not change.

The update is ready, I still want to test a few cases of figures and then prepare the update package before submission. Believe me I'm sorry about this issue.

** Things to try if UltraScenery is not working for you **

• Ensure you have the latest version of UltraScenery installed (currently that is version 1.3.6.4 - last updated September 2023)
• If using the Accelerator for UltraScenery ensure it also is the latest version (currently that is version 1.0.2.4 - last updated May 2021)
• Install UltraScenery via DIM instead of SmartContent
• Ensure Instance Optimization in the render settings is set to "Memory" or maybe "Auto" but definitely not "Speed"
• Use a viewport renderer other than "Nvida Iray"
• Uninstall Octane Render (if convenient) - Octane Render has for some people caused freezes and/or extremely long processing times for UltraScenery
• Getting a big stack of plants and props in the very center of the scene - that also can be caused by Octane Render and can be resolved by uninstalling Octane.
• Ensure any required products are also installed for the addon you're using - find a list below if unsure.

The original brief called for a bare chest so artists could show off tattoos and body markings instead of covering them with clothing. That ended up shaping the whole outfit.

The other challenge was the hood. I wanted it to work naturally in both the up and down positions, which took quite a bit more tweaking than I expected. It's one of those features that most people probably won't think about—which usually means you've done your job. :)

I've attached a wireframe as well because I always enjoy seeing how other artists solve things behind the scenes, and I thought some of you might too.

Hope you enjoy creating with it!

And for all who want a video, here it is:

 

Asset Optimizer is being developed to make game-ready and real-time assets directly inside DAZ Studio while keeping the original asset safe and editable.

• Optimize both static objects and fully rigged characters.
• Create a single optimized model or a complete custom LOD chain.
• Set different reduction levels for every LOD.
• Control optimization globally, by model component, material, or surface.
• Paint directly on the model to protect important areas such as faces, ears, hands, joints, logos, or small details.
• Painted protection supports a natural falloff: red areas receive the most protection, while blue areas transition gradually into normal optimization.
• Optional X-axis symmetry mirrors painted protection across compatible models.
• Preserves important features such as silhouettes, hard edges, material borders, UV seams, curved surfaces, and open boundaries.
• Includes additional protection and repair for thin, stretched, or sliver-like triangles.
• Handles large and unusually dense meshes, including multi-million-triangle assets.
• Preserves character skeletons, skin weights, posing, fitted followers, eyes, tears, eyelashes, mouth meshes, and similar figure components.
• Export selected character morphs as ordinary FBX blendshapes for editing in applications such as Cinema 4D, Maya, Blender, and Unreal Engine.
• Choose between editable morph exports or baking the character’s current shape directly into the exported model.
• Convert a posed or shaped rigged figure into an ordinary static mesh when rigging is not needed.
• Preserve material assignments, UV layouts, base-color and opacity texture connections.
• Embed available textures in FBX files and create portable, UDIM-safe companion texture files.
• Export single or multi-LOD FBX files with clean, consistent _LOD0, _LOD1, _LOD2, etc. naming.
• Keeps shared skeleton and standard skinning data for broad DCC and engine compatibility.
• Preview and update optimization settings without repeatedly damaging the source.
• Every LOD is generated from the unchanged original geometry rather than from the previous reduced level.
• Source-safe Undo/Redo removes or recreates the complete generated result in one operation.
• Generated LODs can be exported repeatedly without rebuilding them.
• Built-in validation checks geometry, UVs, materials, skinning, morphs, textures, deformation, and exported FBX contents.
• Detailed support logs make failed or unusual assets easier to diagnose.

Still planned: texture baking/atlasing, a polished manual and branding, and a future production-quality remeshing solution.
Currently only being considered for DAZ Studio 2026 Windows Only

And the best part is that the only texture map for the water is a single 4k normal map,  (UPDATE: I added a few more 4k maps before it was all said and done, and a single 8k texture map. You're going to love the way it looks now even more) Everything else is just materials, so you'll be able to edit the the look of the water to your heart's content. So, if you've ever wanted to put your models right into the waves at the beach instead of just standing on a shore, you'll soon be able to. I'll post more updates as the project progresses.

ETA: I've finished the modeling, and have started on the materials and textures today, so I thought I'd show the progress so far. Here's an in-progress render showing the render speed on a RTX 4090. For this image, I just put the "Maui" HDRI background that comes with Daz Studio as the only light source (as well as the background image):

ETA: It's done! Sandy Shore | Daz 3D



I didn't really line things up too well, but it works as a proof of concept anyway, ha ha. And here is the finished render. Took about six minutes with two blocks total. Not too shabby. 

This tool is designed to make adding captions (comment bubbles), speech, or thought bubbles to your renders with the text you want super easy—directly in Daz Studio! Just follow three simple steps:
1️⃣ Create your bubble
2️⃣ Place your bubble
3️⃣ Write your text

(And of course, at the end, render everything together—or use the included “Combiner” script to merge a separate bubble render with your scene render. This last option lets you tweak your text later without re-rendering the whole scene!)

More details:

• Choose your bubble base – Load a prop from various aspect ratios and shapes: rectangle, oval, or cloud. Each comes with two material zones (base + border) and morphs to adjust the border thickness. Iray and Filatoon shader presets are included, which you can apply to both the bubble and its details (tails, cloud elements).
• Add a "bubble tail" if needed – Two morphable bubble tails are included: one for speech bubbles and another for thought bubbles (clouds). They’re highly customizable and can be positioned exactly where you want—manually or via included scripts (snap to a selected face or adjust placement with dials).
•  Create custom cloud bubbles – Instead of using a preset cloud bubble, you can build your own by combining cloud details on a base prop.
•  Customize your look – Change the bubble’s base and border colors with shader presets, both for Iray and Filatoon. A "white" preset lets you use any color via Base Color (note: this will affect text color unless it's black).
• Position everything in your scene – To speed up placement, scripts help align the speech bubble on the camera axis (so you never lose track of it) and make it face the camera with horizontal text.
• Write your text – Use any font installed on your system with options like size, line spacing, italics, bold, underline, stroke (when available), color, opacity, alignment, and fine positioning (left-right, up-down offsets). Preview in a 512x512px window or directly on the bubble. Once happy, save the text for later or apply it instantly.
•  Render options – Render your scene and bubbles together. OR render them separately (scene first, then bubbles) and combine them using the included "combiner" script. This second method helps ensure sharp text (by disabling Daz Studio’s texture compression) and allows easy text or bubbles changes without re-rendering the entire scene. Scripts are provided to toggle scene or bubbles on/off for seamless two-pass rendering.

Full PDF documentation included – But if you don’t like reading manuals, feel free to ask any questions, share feedback, or post your renders here!

⚠ Note on text sharpness: Depending on the bubble distance and text size, Daz Studio’s texture compression might blur small text. If that happens, don’t worry—it’s easily fixed in seconds by disabling compression, as explained in the documentation (works for both Iray and Filament).

I add a few images now...

Blender T.V. Studio (DAZ to Blender Edition)

Blender T.V. Studio (DAZ to Blender Edition) is a massive Blender production system with 1,000+ new buttons designed to make Blender faster, easier, and more enjoyable across every major part of production.

Formerly known as FAST Animation Studio Tools, Blender T.V. Studio has been rebranded into a cleaner DAZ Studio-focused edition with a much better price. This is not just one add-on. It brings together major Blender production workflows, including DAZ Studio, Mixamo, AWS parallel rendering, Seedance, Google Veo, Kling, Runway, and OpenAI scripting and assistant tools. Beyond those major systems, Blender T.V. Studio adds 800 more buttons and workflow optimizations that improve literally everything in Blender.

We have been building this system for over 3 years, and we use Blender every day. Every time something in Blender felt slow, repetitive, confusing, or harder than it needed to be, we wrote code to make it better. These are the tools we always wished Blender had, built to improve every major Blender workflow. We like to describe Blender T.V. Studio as 50 Blender add-ons in 1. Since the original DAZ Store release of FAST Animation Studio Tools, we have added over 70,000 additional lines of code, and the current installed add-on is over 3 GB in size.

Blender T.V. Studio bundles the Diffeomorphic add-on and greatly improves its DAZ Studio import and production systems. Import Genesis 3, Genesis 8, Genesis 8.1, and Genesis 9 characters, props, environments, materials, morphs, and animations into Blender, then add Mixamo body animation, lip sync such as Mimic or Azure, pose-preset animation, or any combination of face and body animation sources during import.

Blender T.V. Studio also includes Mixamo Pro, our enhanced Mixamo workflow for Blender. We keep Mixamo Pro updated for newer Blender versions and make it more professional for real production use. You can add Mixamo animations to the same action or different actions, add animation at the playhead or a specific frame, apply Mixamo animations pose by pose for faster manual animating, mirror hand animations, download all Mixamo animations in one click, and bulk import Mixamo FBX files.

For rendering, Blender T.V. Studio includes our AWS Deadline Studio Parallel Rendering workflow. Using multiple parallel computers at once, you can render an eight-second Cycles animation in about 20 minutes, turning a long render into a much faster distributed render job. (Depending on the scene and setup.)

Blender T.V. Studio also includes built-in AI image and video generation tools for using Blender renders, DAZ Studio iRay renders, character images, green-screen footage, or finished video renders in AI-enhanced production workflows. Supported workflows include Seedance, Google Veo, Kling, Runway, and the Nano Banana Image Editor for cinematic video, image-to-video, video-to-video, character consistency, green-screen workflows, image editing, upscaling, and short TV-style scene generation.

The add-on also includes OpenAI-powered scripting tools, agent-style automation, multi-line tooltips, and a built-in AI documentation system, so you can generate Blender Python tools, fix errors, assign scripts to panel buttons, and ask questions about Blender or our add-on anytime you want.

Blender T.V. Studio is built for DAZ Studio artists, Blender creators, animators, AI filmmakers, and anyone who wants to import faster, animate faster, render faster, generate faster, and create better video content with less friction.

Import faster. Animate faster. Render faster. Generate faster. Create better videos.

Installer Problem (Feb 8, 2022) Fixed

As of now, there is a problem with the installer.  

For Windows, the filters should be located in:

C:\Users\[USER_NAME]\AppData\Roaming\DAZ 3D\Studio4\resources\Filters\Assets\Favorites && Ratings

C:\Users\[USER_NAME]\AppData\Roaming\DAZ 3D\Studio4\resources\Filters\Products\Favorites && Ratings

The group images should be installed to:

C:\Program Files\DAZ 3D\DAZStudio4\resources\images\groups\assets

C:\Program Files\DAZ 3D\DAZStudio4\resources\images\groups\products

Instead, the image folder is missing and should be copied it from the Daz install archive (and is under "AppData" folder in the zip). That fixed the missing representation. The filters were installed in a folder in UserDocs.

Look At Me III

Designed to work out of the box with nearly any character or figure—from Victoria 4 to Genesis 9, Horse 2 to Dragon 3—Look At Me III now lets you pose any character type. You can even assign sliders to different bones for maximum flexibility.

•  Five Custom Scripts for controlling where your characters look:
• • Look at Camera III: Direct eyes, head/neck, chest, and abdomen toward the active viewport camera. Supports multiple characters simultaneously.
  • Look at That III: Make characters look at the last selected node—on themselves or any object in the scene. Works with multiple characters.
  • Look at Each Other III: Pose two figures to gaze into each other’s eyes, with individual control for each. New options let you choose which eye to target.
  • Look into My Eyes III: Selected figures look into the eyes of the last figure chosen (who remains unposed). Supports multiple characters.
  • NEW! Look at Geometry III: Characters can now look at a specific vertex on any node in the scene. Works with multiple figures.
• Universal Compatibility: Works out of the box with almost any character or figure.
• Expandable: Easily extend scripts to support new character types and custom bone names.
• 99 Levels of Undo/Redo: Experiment freely with poses.
• Daz Studio 2026 Support: Fully compatible with the latest version.
• Faster, More Intuitive Workflow: Improved performance and usability.
• Preview Camera: Get a precise overview of your pose before applying it.
• Automatic Settings: Your preferences are saved and restored for convenience.

 No poses are included with the package.

Tutorial

Find it here : https://www.daz3d.com/ultimate-iray-skin-manager

You simply have to select any figure and launch the script. You will then work in a new skin control interface using an optimized organization of the key properties of the skin shader, gathered by theme in four tabs :

- Skin Tone,

- Gamma of Image Maps,

- Skin Gloss and Bump,

- and Skin Additional Effects.

A dropdown box allows you to decide if you want to work on all the skin parts including or excluding Nails and/or Lips, or only on the Lips, or on the Nails.

Based on my own experiment of several years of skin shading, this scripted interface has been specifically developed to optimize your workflow in term of skin management whether you are a beginner or an advanced user. Each Tab gives a synthetic and global overview and control of the shader used by the skin and of its key properties - as I mentioned before gathered by type of influence, one Tab for the Skin Tone, one for the Skin Gloss, one for the Additional Effects, and one for the Gamma of Image maps.

Thanks to this global overview and control of the shader and of its properties, allowing a more methodical, easier and faster workflow, you will benefit a huge gain in time, in comfort and in efficiency when adjusting skins.

Very useful or exclusive features are included, such as the Gamma manager, allowing to change the gamma of all the image maps of the property of your choice in two clicks.

Unique save, load and transfer tools are also included : at any time during your skin shader adjustment, you can save in text files presets of properties without leaving the interface, so that you can load them later on, during the same or another session, on the same or on another figure. Even better you can load such presets on any Generation, and you can load only the properties you want. An additional script is provided to transfer your new shaders on the genitalia of your figures.

A full pdf documentation is included in the product (which can also be opened from the script interface if you want), even if the skin manager is very intuitive and easy to use. 

Now a few images :
