    This one is still great when you want a behind the scenes type render.

    Edit: and I bought it back in 2005.

    The SKU on that is just 32, I wonder if that makes it the oldest item in the store that is still for sale

    Greetings,

    Old threads are, too...  This one started in January, 2016. ;)

    Nope; the Lava Bar is still out there at SKU 30; that's the oldest item I own.  But the oldest that's still for sale is Dynamic Poses & Expressions for Michael even though Michael (SKU 3) isn't.

    Iray made old items look pretty damn good again.  Dforce has made a lot of old items usable on new characters, too.  It's kinda awesome...

    Edit: The oldest probably-still-useful item would be SKU 23, the Morphing Skull.  It'd be fascinating to see if it still works...

    Yep, it still works. It looks pretty good with the IRay bone shaders I picked up recently too.

    As I recall, the SKU numbers are not necessarily in chronological order.  That was a new system that was put in several years ago.  Before that items had codes like ps_mo553b (a morph set), or ps_tx2959b (a texture set). and they weren't all converted immediately...some new items came out with the new SKUs in between updating older items, so there are gaps in the numbering system so to speak...some newer items have lower SKU numbers.

    The Morphing Skull still works, here is an image I made with it last year using Daz 4.9 :

    Fashion Studio is the updated version of what was originally called 'Cyber Studio' - my first product at DAZ, released in June 2001, then updated in 2005. At the time I joined DAZ, there were only 12 other PAs, no forums, no Daz Studio, and Poser 4 was state of the art software.

    I'm glad to hear Fashion Studio still stands up today - and maybe it's a small piece of history. LOL.

    PS Home One got its update a few years back. I firmly believe older content should be kept current, if possible. Right now, I'm almost finished an update to Streets (with a second companion pack to augment it)

    I use the mil. cat and dog all the time, especially the cat. With some Iray materials they are still lovely

    I am an IRay only user that still uses a lot of older items.   Kit bashing is my usual method.

    I use  these two, or parts of them, on nearly every render I do. They look very good converted to Iray.

    https://www.daz3d.com/inaneglorys-photo-studio-3 ; and the included light sets convert well too.
