This product uses Daz Studio's Geometry Shell feature to create a bra that can be safely worn under other clothes without requiring many resources or causing poke-through. It is intended to be used under sheer or semi-sheer tops to preserve your model's modesty.

The bra is available in two styles (lacy and plain) in both 1K and 4K resolutions, and in three colors - but you can set it to whatever color you like by changing the diffuse. Both Iray and 3Delight versions are included.

If you're looking for a bra to be worn on its own, as outerwear, this product is not for you. There are a ton of suitable products in the shop, and freebies by (amongst others) Wilmap and Beat578 that autofit nicely to more recent generations. But if your model is wearing a garment over her bra, you can get problems with poke-through if the bra has geometry of its own. This product is for that situation - it essentially paints a bra shape onto the model's skin, so it can be seen through a thin top, but doesn't actually poke through.

Here's an example of it in use:

And now in creepy Man-O-Vision:

Here's one of the icon files to give you a better view of the front. I hope the strapping looks plausible, such garments really aren't my area of expertise!

The bowl comes in 8 colours and a version with a printed picture.

The kibble is dark brown, and a scene subset is given with 800 in the base of the bowl.

The treats are yellowish, with 20 in a bowl in the subset - because that's the maximum recommended intake for a cat.

The cats are DAZ House Cat and the Maine Coon version of Vyusur's Cat Zeus.

There is an obj file of the bowl, the kibble and the treat.

Hope it's useful.

There are 10 poses and 8 mirror poses for the non-symmetrical poses.

The image below shows all the poses, but not the mirrors. We have had cats for years, and all of our cats have regularly been in poses similar to most or all of these poses.

The poses are:

• Barf 01 and 02
• Claw Scale Removal
• Flat Cat 01 and 02
• Running 01
• Washing 01 to 04

The two flat cat poses rely on a little script to override Vyusur's lock on the hidden Abdomen [1]/2/3 and Chest Scale properties, and set them to Y Scale=80% and the Z Scale to 110%. This stretches and flattens the cat's tummy in the same way as a real cat goes liquid as it lies down. There is a script to undo it when you need to. The poses are in the following directory: {content}\Animals\Vyusur\Cat Zeus\Zeus Poses\ChestnutP, and the 3 scripts are in a subdirectory of that directory.

Hope they're useful.

I made a complete cross with nails and an inscription for anyone who wants to render the crucifixion of Jesus. The nails and inscription can be moved as needed. There are also three poses for Genesis 8 male and three poses for Genesis 9. The Genesis 9 poses are created on the base character and may require adjustments with other Genesis 9 characters depending on their body type. The Genesis 8 male poses seem suitable for most characters.
It is in DAZ and OBJ formats so it can also be imported in other software. I built it in Blender.

I hope you like them and that someone finds them useful.

The zip files and images are attached.

I'll post them on this forum. I'll also try to post them on the sites that usually host freebies, such as Renderosity and Renderhub, but I'm not sure if I'll be successful because it's my first time trying on those sites. If I succeed, I will post an update with links.

So, the box has an inside texture and outside texture. To help you change the texture I have included templates and a GIMP .xcf image source file. Furthermore, there are 3 material files for the transparent window. The original has the window complete, then there are two textures where a hole has been punched, and another where she's kicked a hole through the window. For simplicity of use, the box is sized to fit a standard G8/G9 character without scaling, but it may be scaled down to fit a 'Toy' sized character.

Please note, you provide your own doll for the Toy Box.

The toy box has some quite unconventional warnings. It warns of small parts, choking hazard, stroppy attitude, bad language, and a warning that dolls can use shotguns too. The introduction concludes 'You did this to yourself.'.

Hope you find it useful.

What is "the Big Blue"? Is it the ocean, vast and deep and full of secrets? Is it the sky, and the endless freedom it represents? Is it the precious blue planet we call home, so majestic and yet so fragile? Is it that one blue note that the Jazz trumpeter plays, the one in which he pours all his heartbreak? Did you know that in the German language "being blue" means being drunk, but "making blue" means skipping school? Tell us what "the Big Blue" is to you!

I love this wonderful Daz Community on this forum... I read, but due to my difficulties, I can't write.

I created some free textures (for the yomiuri overalls) gift for the holidays, which I'm linking now because I haven't been well.

I also created 2 textures in 3 Sets for everyday use. I hope you enjoy them and they're useful for your beautiful renders.

I'm waiting to see your render if you want... 
..... Happy Render! 

Please let me know if it works...

Now the download link is:

Plus I moved a couple of other freebies there:

Intended project is to make clones OF G9 for the rest of the Genesis clan so they can wear G9's clothes too.

Now, we do not all have expensive software that can skin one form to the other, I will be using what I have which is what everybody has or can have because it is Daz Studio. Where I use Hexagon, one can make use of exports out to other programs such as Blender or Zbrush, etc. No groups [clothing needs to be one piece] No geografts [because these either be or becoming morphs] And of course you will have to have the export/import sizing figured out before starting the project too.

First decision is G8male or G8female to start with. Waiting on tombraider4ever for that decision.

Are you feeling sad and powerless? Chin up, you got this - you're stronger than you think!
Do you need help carrying this up the stairs? No, it's ok, I'm stronger than you think!
Do you think she's going to get the position? Do not discount her - she's a stronger candidate than you think!
Do you think you can handle this Russian liqor? Be careful, it's stronger than you think!
Tell us a story about someone or something that showed unexpected strength.
Do you have what it takes to win 1st place in this challenge? Of course you do - you're stronger than you think!

January 2026 - When One Door Closes, Another Opens

Edited: Updated link for Stream Deck Plugin.  Expanded on plug-in install instructions.

Do you have an Elgato Stream Deck but are tired of finding unique keyboard shortcuts?  Do you wish you could quickly and easily assign a colorful, tactile key for all your Daz Studio and Custom Actions?

Now you can!

Introducing the Stream Deck Plug-in for Daz Studio.

The plug-in will allow you to:

• Assign almost every Daz Studio action to a key. (limited by the Daz Studio SDK)
• Assign every Custom Action you create in Daz Studio.
• Use your own button title or have the plug-in supply a default one.
• Use the icon associated with custom action or create your own.
• Run actions in Daz Studio even when it's in the background.

All this for FREE!

To install you'll need to get both parts:

• Daz Studio Plugin by by esemwy.  This is the Daz Studio side of the system.  Without it, Daz Studio can't hear the actions sent by the Stream Deck.  The .dll file should be placed in your Daz Studio plugins folder.  For me this was C:\Program Files\DAZ 3D\DAZStudio4\plugins but YMMV. Quick note: as esemwy posted it as a .dll your browser/virus software might freak out a bit.  If you want (and know how) you can download the source code and compile it instead.  The plug-in should appear in Daz Studio under Help -> About Installed Plugins... as Stream Deck Plugin
• Stream Deck Plugin by Windamyre.  This is the Stream Deck side of the system.  Without it, there's nothing for Daz Studio to listen to.  Download the Custom Acttions v0.3.1.zip (or whatever is current).  Inside will be a folder titled "com.windamyre.daztools.sdPlugin".  This folder should be placed in your Stream Deck Plugins folder.  For me this was C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Elgato\StreamDeck\Plugins where [username] is replaced with yours.  Again, YMMV.  The Actions should appear in the Stream Deck under Daz Studio Tools.

Some technical info:

• The system works by sending commands from the Stream Deck to Daz Studio via a websocket.  This is why Daz Studio doesn't need to be in the foreground to receive the command.
• The list is compiled from Daz Studio directly and updated every 30 seconds or so.  If your new Custom action doesn't show up, give it a minute. 
• Because the list is taken from Daz Studio, the actions are called what Daz Studio called them.  For example, "NVIDIA Iray" is the name for the Viewport Iray drawmode.
• All the source code is available on github in case you want to review it or make suggestions.

Plans for future improvement:

• 'Curated' lists of commands to cut down on the number of commands to sift through
• Action to run custom script straight from the plug-in

Let me know what you think either here on Daz Forums or via GitHub.  If you want to fork the Elgato plugin feel free.  I'm a novice/hobbiest programmer, so you might be able to do better.  For the Daz Studio, plugin see esemwy.

EDIT:... and I believe now up to date, including the new Water Park Slide Addons: https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/comment/9241441/#Comment_9241441

Wide quality range
The quality of these will vary greatly, many require a supplemental light source (usually in the location of the sun) to cast 'hard shadows'...most are non-comm only. (Non-comm = Non-commercial use only, but read the individual licenses on each site/item to be sure.)

http://www.hdrlabs.com/sibl/archive.html

Mid to High dynamic range
Most of these are mid to very high range, most will cast decent shadows. Many/most of these will cast 'hard' shadows without any additional light sources. Quality and license, noted; ones without comment are either no restrictions or unknown. Many of these sites also have pay versions that range from fairly cheap to rather expensive...but licensing is usually much more 'commercial' friendly for the paid versions and there are either higher range HDRs/higher res backplates with the paid ones.

And I'm sure I'm missing some...

Inside the RAR are two scripts:

1) Auto_Update_Scenes20-working.dsa (main script)

This script lets you process a whole folder of DAZ Studio scenes and update them automatically.

You can:

• Apply preset(s) (materials/textures, shaping presets, render settings, exposure, etc.) to specific targets.

• Hide / show things (clothing, hair, body parts, props—whatever you target).

• Delete selected items from scenes.

• Auto-save each scene, or save as a new version using a suffix.

• Optionally create a second version of the scene where items are hidden/shown differently.

I made this because I have a lot of scenes with the same characters and I don’t want to open every scene and update them manually.

Safety tip: If you’re worried about messing up scenes, copy the scenes into a new folder first and run the script on that folder. Test on a few scenes before running hundreds.

Known issue: Save Poses is not fixed yet, so that part is broken for now.

How to use the main script

Step 1 — Get the correct target name

Targets must match the names shown in the Scene pane.

Example target:

• Joe - Genesis 9

Step 2 — Add the preset path

Example preset path:

• F:\Daz3D extra folders\My files\Joe\Updated characters\General\General Glossy skin.duf

How to get the path (Windows): Right-click the preset file in Explorer → copy path.

Important:

• Do not add quotation marks around the path.

• Use commas to separate multiple targets or multiple presets.

Examples:

• Multiple targets (same preset):
  Joe - Genesis 9, Jane - Genesis 9

• Multiple presets (same target):
  ...\Preset1.duf, ...\Preset2.duf

Step 3 — Target a specific part (body part / hair / item)

Use / to target a sub-item.

Example:

• Joe - Genesis 9/tail

(So it’s: FigureName/ItemName)

Step 4 — Run on a folder of scenes

You usually need to open one example scene first to find the correct names, but once you’ve written them down you can update hundreds of scenes that use the same figure/items.

Stability setting

To reduce crashes, set the script’s Reset setting to 1 (recommended for most systems).

2) Stop_Scene_Queue.dsa (stop / reset script)

If you stop DAZ Studio mid-run, the updater can resume from where the queue left off.

If you want to cancel the old queue and start fresh:

1. Close DAZ Studio.

2. Reopen DAZ Studio.

3. Run Stop_Scene_Queue.dsa

4. Then run Auto_Update_Scenes20-working.dsa again.
   
   Also, it may crash sometimes, but then just open daz and open the script and it should resume where it stopped. (Have been able to run 78 scenes without a crash though.)
   
   Was made by AI, so I'm to stupid to fix poses save by myself, but if anyone here knows a way to fix it, it would be great if you told me. Use it however you want, it's free to all. 
   Hope you like it. I sure found it useful. Like a render queue, but for scene updates. Any questions, then ask.

Updated to run with most recent version (python 3.14.3) and PIL

*************************

***Update 9/28/20***

Added 2 new buttons, 1 to show just the items that have not had any keywords added yet and another to clear the database of any entries that no longer have an image

*************************

***Update 5/12/20***

Added a total number of products under the product list

Added a button to clear your item selection which also clears the preview image and the keyword list

Added a button to remove an item from the list, which gives the option to just remove it from the list (This option simply removes the entry from the xlsx data and will find the item again next time new items are searched for) or to delete the actual image file as well (This option will remove the item from the data as well as deleting the runtime\support image so it will not be found again. This will also prevent Daz Studio from being able to display the image in the product library though)

*************************

***Update 11/11/19***

Searching for new runtimes should be a little faster

Buttons and labels now let you know the app is working when searching for runtimes or products

Auto install for the modules that appear to be missing from the standard python install

*************************

***Update 11/5/19***

Changed Get Items button to Update Items - it only gets a list of your items now

Added an Add Runtime button to search your computer for runtime folders

Improved filter - searches as you type, matches all words in filter (If you type v4 texture, it will only return items whose name or keywords contain both v4 and texture)

Changed Filter button to Clear Filter

***********************

***Update 10/25/19***

Should work on Macs now!

*************************

***Bug fix***

Found an oddity introduced with the last bug fix :( Where the keyword list would not empty out when selecting an item that has not had any keywords added after selecting an item that did have keywords. 1 simple line fixed that.

**************************

***BUG FIX***

Delete was not working correctly and the keywords were getting all switched around and duplicated

I believe it's fixed now. Update attached!

Let me know if you find oddities please :)

*************************

***Update 10/24/19***

Can now delete keywords

Main list won't lose focus of selected item

Search by filename only, keywords only or both (and saves your preference for the next run)

New zip attached!

*************************

***Update 10/18/19***

New zip making the changes to keywords as talked about below :)

Enjoy!

*************************

So I finally got off my butt, picked up python for basically the first time ever yesterday and put together a program that will compile a list of dim installed products, add keywords to products and filter the list based on your searches.

The Dim package assistant sold here definately comes in handy for adding products from other sites that will then be able to be picked up by this app.

Or you could simply add an image to the runtime\support folder

**It uses the name of the thumbnail for the product name**

What this does:

When you first open it, you will be greeted with a couple blank boxes a filter button and a button that says generate.

When you click on the generate button for the first time (This part may take some time) the app will crawl your entire system looking for runtime folders that have a support subfolder. It will make a list of these locations and save them to a file so it won't have to do this again.

The reason I use runtime\support, is that is where Dim installs the product thumbnails when it installs your products.

You can reclick the generate button any time you install new products, it won't search your entire system again as it knows exactly where the runtime folders are, so it can just simply look for and add new thumbnails to the list.

The next thing it does is it goes through those runtime\support folders and makes a list of all the images there with the full path and saves them to an excel sheet to use as a database.

You will then see the center box fill up with all the products it found thumbnails for. When you click on one of the products in the list, you will see a few things happen. First, the box in the center right will fill with the thumbnail of the product. You will see a new box below that, along with an add keywords button and a text box.

Enter your keywords, separated by a semi-colon ; (not really neccessary for the filter, but it seperates them out nicely in the box above) then click the add keywords button.

***A couple things to note about the keywords***

It doesn't immeadiately update the keywords list (yet) and doesn't clear your text box (yet) so it looks like nothing has happened but if you click on a different product, then go back, you will see your keywords in the list.

Another thing is it doesn't append new keywords to a list you already have for a product (yet) it simply overwrites the old keywords with your new list of keywords. So if you have keywords such as space suit;male;textures (I guess it's a texture set for a spacesuit) but then later decide you want to add scifi to the list, you will have to re-enter space suit;male;textures;scifi

I plan to work on fixing these 2 things next

***************************************************

So now that you have some products in a list and some keywords entered, you can then use he Filter option (which is the main feature this was built for).

Type in a word or partial word and it will filter your list of items down to those names and/or keywords that contain your search term.

At this point you will see 3 files on your computer: the DazDB.py (this app), daz_config.ini (will eventaully contain settings and such, but for now just contains your runtime\support locations which you can open and edit in notepad) and the Daz_data.xlsx file (This is the database, column A contains the full path to each thumbnail and column B contains the key words for the product in column A)

For now this is windows only, but I plan on adding Mac support (since I actually have one for use at work, so I will be able to add and test to get it working there too)

And, this is just the bare-bones start of the app which I plan to continue to improve on.
