Where can I get wooden flute, pan pipes, or similar?

sunnyjei

I saw a lovely flute here:

I love the flute here and would like to find it or similar but I don't see any flute mentioned at the bottom where credits usually go (https://www.daz3d.com/elven-grove-outfit-for-genesis-2-female-s). Does anyone know where I can get that flute, something similar, or pan pipes? Thanks in advance!

There's a couple of forum threads you can use as a starting point:

https://www.daz3d.com/forums/viewthread/629/

https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/116306/violins-flutes

The wooden flute in that second link has a 'potential security risk' warning though.  Maybe someone knows another place to look for that one?

Chohole mentioned the 'master freebies' thread in the first link:

Poserdazfreebies also has a couple of suggestions:

Anyways, that should give you a starting point to work from.

There are a few freebie panflutes

a better one is in the Musica Fantasia pack over at Hivewire3d. That is a pack of mixed instruments that includes a panflute. It is also free.

There is a metal flute over in the "Musical Instruments 2" pack on renderosity

Edit: Forgot to mention that there is a metal flute here:

It's a long time ago, but I think Smay had some form of flute in one of his sets for Mavka or Gosha over on Rendo.

Thanks @tj_1ca9500b! I tried searching the store and usually searching the forum is a hot mess of getting results that aren't at all related for me. Do you have some forum searching tricks you'd like to share ?? :)

I think https://hivewire3d.com/shop/musica-fantasia.html might be what I was looking for!!!

Should work. Given the populaity of fairy renders (and they are popular, even if not universaly popular), there ae probably quite a number of reed pipes of various sorts around, if you look.

Thanks you two slipped in while I was checking out all the goodies over at the sites mentioned. Thank you all for the help- much appreciated! Saw the silver flute and I think I could change the surface to wood (?) but hoping the pan flute/pipe works for my forest fairy :)

Rule #1 when searching for Daz stuff.  Don't use the Daz3D forum search function.  It's about useless.  The store search is a bit better, but...

What I did was do a google search for 'wooden flute daz'  or just 'flute daz'.  I've typed daz into my Google searches enough times that Google's search AI knows that I want Daz Studio stuff when I use the term 'daz'.  Sometimes I still have to type daz studio.

Anyways, that usually pulls up the Daz3D forum threads as part of the google search, usually at or near the top of the results, and the first thread referred me to the second thread via someone suggesting the 'earlier' thread in the first thread.

Another google trick is to type 'descriptive item name' daz poser.  That way, more of the Poser specific items, which often will work in Daz Studio with a bit of TLC, also appear a bit more readily.

And yeah, poserdazfreebies is my first 'go to' site after doing a cursory google search.  The search function on poserdazfreebies works pretty well usually.  Doesn't help as much with paid content of course, but I like free!

As a fallback, I may type in 'descriptive item name' Renderosity or 'descriptive item name' ShareCG as followup searches.

Hope this helps in your future search endeavors!

Thank you- I didn't think to leave the site and use Google to search the forum too. That was indeed helpful and will definitely help my future search endeavors :)
