@elor if that is what you do when you are 'under the weather' I am blown away. I think your render is amazing and after reading what you did on the gallery, I am even more so.
And you gave me a real reason to try to learn Blender again. I need it for my Macs and for the issue you highlighted. I am finding more clothes without morphs in tricky spots, like elbows and knees after simulating.
Mary
Thank you.
You're way ahead of me in dForce, because I have very little clue about "simulation settings," and defenitely not enough to be playing around with them. But I agree that the Archmage makes it much easier to control things in the scene and simulation. Like making sure things don't simulate when you don't want to. I definitely to play with it more. And dForce.
Speaking of which... Any good YT videos or other tutorials to wrap my head around dForce and simulation?

New items, all gotten via Quick Grab.
Denise HD for G9 - not much to say here except for "she's nice."
dforce Saloon Dress for G9 - I like it, but it feels a pain to simulate, maybe because of multiple layers. Also, for this pose, boots tried to simulate too and ended up being stretched like from some horror movie, so I removed them for the simulation time. Maybe someone else will have better luck with it.
Waterfall Hair for G9 - I haven't really played much with it for this image, but I like it.

There was no way we could have a lingerie sale without getting Jade something new to wear...

...the chair pose is even more funny/awesome because it's not like a centaur could use a chair comfortably.

The rest in the gallery.
No AI. Most postwork is just color/light adjustments and adding lightning bolts. The rest is Daz.
Lovely render!
(psst... young lady... keep the giraffe. I'm closing in on 50 and still sleep with the stuffed dog my grandmother gave me when I was 3. You don't have to sacrifice the things you love just because you made another trip around the sun!)
Love seeing all the wonderful renders. Thank you so much for sharing. Please keep on rendering and sharing!
I thought I didn't buy all that much during the past month, but my product library says otherwise. Here's a render with Oshun, Phx Wally tweaked, and Z tender love couple poses that I got this past week, and the Whitewave Beach bundle I picked up a month ago.
Just another perfect moment
My son still has a soft bunny that I bought when he was in hospital during 4th grade for a month. The nursing sisters dressed the bunny in newborn outfit and a surgical cap and she became 'Nurse Rachel' who stayed with him during the nights and days I couldn't drive across England. Nurse Rachel was passed on to his daughter who spent her first month of life admitted twice to a PICU due to two hits of the flu her older siblings brought home from school. His Steiff teddy bear he was given when he was born, is still around too. And he is over 47 now.
Gonna spam the thread with a few renders showcasing some cute sets by SilvaAnt3D I got a week or so back:
Garden Spot, The Studio, Rub-a-dub Bath Set, and Display Dome Treehouse
I thought they'd be great to use with Lady Littlefox's Gumdrops, who I love to play with. I also used some poses from a freebie pose set I made for them - I shared them in the freebies section of the forum for anyone with Gumdrops in their runtime. I'll post these renders a little smaller. Click to enlarge.
Can I give you a kiss?
My cute puppy
Boo!
Hi! from my Treehouse
Lots of very nice renders
Sorry for the late answer.
Thank you for your kind words :)
In order to clarify a bit, doing a 'studio' portrait instead of an outdoor one meant I could focus on just Mira and not on adding enough background figures to make the Street of Paris a street of Paris, or at least close enough to a real busy Parisian street (it's one of the most densily populated city in the world) or finding a way to render them in as little spot renders as possible.
If you want to learn Blender UI, Jay Versluis is explaining the basics, but it could also be useful to watch beginners' tutorial on the subject (I followed the famous donut's tutorial up until a bit after he started speaking about texturing, something I didn't care about that at the time) and then, it's mainly trying the various tools to see how they work and knowing if the change you want to make will be better done using one of the various brushes from the Sculpt mode (I'm mainly using Grab, Smoothing and Elastic Grab when working on clothes) or using Edit mode with Proportional editing active.
To fix poke-throughs around knees and elbows after a simulation, a weight mapped push modifier could be enough to do the job: if you have clothes by Mada, she set her semi-recent to recent ones with a weight mapped push modifier and you can see how to use them.
Inside Archmage, I'm mainly playing with the quality, the kind of simulation (from pose or not, using a timeline or not), and the various time related settings. The biggest time saver is the capability to save Simulation settings presets inside Archmage which in my case means having a very easy access to the preset from Fabiana's necklaces and belts products: I just have to scroll down the list of the simulation presets saved by Archmage, instead of searching for one of her products.
I remember watching a couple of videos explaining how to apply dForce on older products, using a weight map to control what will be simulated and what will not but I don't have one in mind about what each simulation settings would do. Likewise with the dForce settings from the Surface tab: I play with them a bit from time to time, but when I'm looking for informations, I'm reading this discussion:
https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/203081/dforce-start-here
Thanks for that. I just saw some other dForce thread ressurected as well with what looks like in-depth tutorials, so I'll definitely have to do some learning in the future. It seems like a powerful utility, and while Archmage makes it easier to use, I'm still missing a lot :)

This one features BlueJaunte's Inaru and FE's Half Up Ponytail hair that I got recently. The scene is lit with only the HDRI which I had quickly created, and which led me to share a simple HDRI preset pack in the freebies section. No postwork except for the watermark.
Inaru
Matt, my first reaction was OMG 'Beans on Toast'! one of my favorite memories of England from the early 1970s and became a staple when I was short of cash. My second was how lovely the characters were in their posing, interactions and the realities of sharing a home and stretching pennies. The hair styles, clothes, and everything just looks so typical of that late teen/young adult and barely making it. Great job.
I spent way too much money in the member sales. Big fan of PFA (Except for 'The Age' which is still causing a closed eye bug darnit) so was glad to pick up https://www.daz3d.com/pfa-veira-hd-for-genesis-9, who is marvelous, great face sculpt. The outfit is https://www.daz3d.com/stf-dforce-duskbound-for-genesis-9-and-genesis-8-female those PAs always seem to have very high quality stuff. https://www.daz3d.com/li-elemental-dynamics--sand-and-water which I haven't had a proper play with yet.
The guy is P3D' s Sam, with some tweaks and a material swap with Carter 9. Background I just grabbed to buy into Doorbuster discount is https://www.daz3d.com/hallway-nooks-grand, but the colours are pretty. Arm cloak thing . Pants are from this sprite set - I usually like the Sprite stuff, but the waist stitching on this makes them look a bit doll like. Shimuzu makes the best poses. (Alright best but tied with Faber Inc)
I want to say you should all go out and buy Veira with her fivehead, but also kinda wanna keep her for myself.
To some extent, this was done deliberately for meme potential on Discord.
Far too many people in the server's cooking channel being rude about the national delicacy that is beans on toast.
They obviously have not either tried it, or have too many memories of surviving on it during lean years before making it big. I loved the combination of fresh bread toasted, buttered with real butter, and those lovely beans. There are times that simple meals are just what you want and need. My flatmate, who has worked in the restuarant industry at varied levels, and I have traded favorite low-cost meals we have survived on during times when money was tight or we were just too tired to care about cooking. And I have watched him create a five-course meal from whatever he has found in the pantry and refrigerator from scratch.
The Japanese version would probably freak them out, not least because of its consistency: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nattō
Personally I like it though, with genuine soy sauce (Shyou).
That's just sad. I mean, personally I'm not fond of either beans OR toast, let alone together, but there's no call to yuck someone's yum. Just eat something else. More beans and toast for the rest of you... I'll be over here with my melted mozzerella and chocolate chip sandwich. (It's better than you'd think.)
Made this one a while back and just now posting it:
"In the White Vault"
Inspired by the first Charlie's Angels movie from the 2000's
It looks like 'Beans on Rice'? Another favorite around our place. Great when rolled into a flour tortilla with other items we have on hand. Add an egg on top with some soy sauce... Easy dinner meal.
It's also good on plain or toasted bread, kind of like aged cheese.
Santa's Getting Ready
Bought this month: XI Village of Norway
This started out as a render of Mateo 9 Mountain Man HD from my purchase in Dec 2024 (I am that far behind), but I have used products bought before and just recently to put this render together.
Because he is on the hefty side, I ran into some challenges. By the time I was done I found I actually cared for him more that Mateo 9 HD.
I used:
https://www.daz3d.com/dforce-hnc25-mens-office-outfits-for-genesis-9 - it worked just fine with his figure and simulated like a dream.
https://www.daz3d.com/m3d-balding-hair-styles-for-genesis-9 - I used about three of the hair pieces and facial hair on him. And then covered his hair up with, https://www.daz3d.com/dforce-mi-everyday-construction-worker-for-genesis-9.
I found I didn't own a phone yet for G9, so I used https://www.daz3d.com/smart-phone-poses-and-prop-for-michael-8. It was fairly easy to move into his left hand and parent it.
The pose is actually a combination of three partial poses from https://www.daz3d.com/the-gentleman-poses.
The set is the newest item https://www.daz3d.com/overgrown-outpost-for-ministry-and-return-to-enchanted-forest which I bought because I love The Ministry.
I added some lights on the character from https://www.daz3d.com/subtle-portrait-lights-and-hdris to bring out Mateo's face more.
The render on my MacMini took over two hours and converged only 25%.
To all the PAs who created these products, thank you. I enjoyed working with them and the result.
Mary
