It seems that I'm hogging this thread. No one else rendering older buys? ;) Or are just the sales so absorbing there's no time for rendering?
This is the last of the four covers, and one that took a lot of work, both before the render (cutting off Daz Dragon's wings) and after it. As always, the gallery image with the final cover and pre-postwork render included, and more about the process on my website.
Now onto rendering more of my not-so-new things. I've got quite a backlog.
The Living Room!! Nice! If you told me you arranged everything one by one on those shelves, I'd believe you.
A cozy space and and fun render. It's the TV and the lava lamps that are going to get it if you ask me... 
No, not hogging whatsoever. The rest of us are just being a tad lazy, aren't we?
All your four covers are FANTASTIC, joanna. My favorite is the second one, but all are a great blend of DAZ and postwork, and are at an awesome professional level. You definitely met your goals, and are keeping us inspired! Thanks for sharing.
Your covers look very nice. I'll read your blog latter :)
Otherwise, it's just that real life was a bit hectic for me and I slept on the following render for a week (I didn't find the time to answer your previous answer, but I'll try, in the meantime, thank you for that), which was not a bad thing in the end: it gave me time to tweak the cup a little with Blender (by default the bottom is empty and while it was not that visible, I knew and it was enough) and to remove the glassy part of the coffee machine (because I didn't know how to add some coffee at its bottom).
One regret: I don't have breadcrumbs and didn't find either a way to create them myself or a product with them.
I think there is 7 items I never used before (in a render published in the gallery).
Two for Lacey's poses:
Her pajamas was also the first time I used it. As I said in the description, it's from Nelmi on Renderosity.
Four (five if Elleque's nice freebie counts) as part of the decors:
Other items should be linked in the gallery (the ones visible at least: Victoria is fully clothed to take care of unwanted reflection but I don't think she visible at all outside of her arms and hands).
So, 'Morning routine', an entry for the 'Llola Lane’s RENDER A MONTH Challenge 2025' (theme of August, shape and I have chosen to use a rectangle):
I've been mostly been doing nerdy stuff for my own projects.
For example, teaching G9 how to bend (almost) exactly like G8, which is something I need for technical reasons:
(And eventually I'll need to do the opposite, but I've at least worked out the basic principles now...)

That's not to say there have been no renders, though.

Zirael Flyte Hatchback Family Car - not a true first use, as it's appeared in the background before, but first time being used as a focal prop. Taking advantage of GCJellyfish's feature rich products here - although ultimately I decided the spare tyre that comes with the product was far too practical; my job is causing mythological creatures modern inconveniences, so I went off and modelled a spacesaver spare.
Tool Mega Pack
SU Short Sleeve Dress
Morning Walk Outfit - or the shoes from it, anyway.
Oh my gosh this is adorable and gives me such warm fuzzies. :) Thank you for sharing! <3
Totally agree. That render's super sweet Elor!
Thought I'd browse my library and try out a few things too tonight: Mousso's Maureen, KuJ Ballet Poses, Classic Ballet Outfit and its textures.
ONE
That is all kinds of adorable.
Thank you
(I'm sorry for the late answer, but I was helping to organize a big family reunion)
I like the sort of surreal mood you achieved with the lighting: it's a really beautiful render !
Well, this is one of those cases when I see an image, don't comment immediately, and then I forget. So here I go:
SapphireBlue: love the mood, the pose, and the camera angle.
Elor, the image is super cute, and I love the additional frame that the hands provide.
Matt_Castle You're more advanced in Daz than I am :) Glad you're still rendering.

I'm kind of on a quest to use all the stuff I bought throughout the years, so I did one picture for Daz contest and managed to use #4New items. At least I think I haven't used any of them yet...
I like Autumn Witch outfit and that it provides non-dForce version for the skirt to remain puffy, but there was also something weird going on when reposing the character. The dress would get randomly distorted. Had to delete it and reapply it to fix. And Halloween Forest works really nice out of the box. Gallery image here.
#4New (plus 1)
My Newest RPG PC & her doggo. (So new the poor dears don't have names yet!) Since this is just for a game, I used everything out of the box, except for (1) shrinking the Bear-dog & giving it a bushier, curled tail & (2) Using the hair twice to get it thicker.

I'm trying to use all the things I've bought in the past years.
https://www.daz3d.com/cj-camile-8k-hd-for-genesis-9 is new-new, but the rest is not, so it's #4New

https://www.daz3d.com/dforce-cb-destinus-clothing-set-for-genesis-9 and its texture expansion https://www.daz3d.com/dforce-cb-destinus-clothing-set-texture-expansion
and I even used a Daz+ freebie! https://www.daz3d.com/sci-fi-hole though with some slight texture modifications.
Thank you :)
I like the mood of this render
A new render, a simple portrait, with a mix of products recently bought and some olders (who are more numerous I think, so it goes there).
I think four new items I never used are:
FK dForce Elements Jewelry Set Genesis 9 and others
ALO Elysianna Hair for Genesis 9, 8 and 8.1 Female
Vision for Twist Bikini for G8-8.1 and G9
MI Summer Swimwear Set for Genesis 8 and 8.1 Males
And a new freebie I never used before, the Wedding Ring by @richardandtracy (shared on the forum, here).
'The sunny portrait' (it's a follow up of the following renders: 'He said no ?!?', 'Happily Ever After' and 'The windy portrait'):
All other items are on the gallery.
Yesterday's Golden Ticket COG Robot
Get Out of the Way - A Truck is Coming!
The track cleaner picks another dim bulb off the rail.
The Cog Regime Robot
XI Steampunk City
Light Bob
LowPoly Crowd Creator Expansion: Outer Rim
Thanks Elor and joanna!
Joanna, your New Spells render is really lovely - that joyful expression on her face is perfectly captured.
barbult LOVE what you did there!! Such a cute and funny scene. Had to go and wishlist that dim bulb... I mean Light Bob...
I didn't know that light bulb existed, so I'm wishlisting Light Bob too: he looks a lot like the bulb guy who is always with Gyro Gearloose
Your scene is great, @barbult
Another render, Sunset at the beach, done to 'showcase' the worn around the hip version of G8F Everyday shirt on G8M, so I needed a volunteer and decided to start from my previous render (which at one point was also done with both of them wearing the Everyday 2 outfit but ended with swimsuit because I didn't want to deal with a simulation to get the top and pants to play nice with each other and with the hands of the two figures).
I used the Cross-Figure Ressource Kit to fit the G8F version on G8M and applied textures from Everyday for G8M on it (more informations about the CFRK on the gallery).
Gallery link: https://www.daz3d.com/gallery/user/6244146477531136#gallery=newest&page=1&image=1378925
The newly used items are the following (a double #4News challenge, I think, including one on a background character, yeah, 8 less items I have never used on render here
):
Two new items are used, both from Fabiana:
The other items items used should be linked on the gallery.
It's likely always the perfect time for a tea, so here's 'Tea with a friend':
Wow, that's really lovely.
Thank you, @barbult
I did try to embed the product links nicely here, but the forum software completely wiped a load of my changes if I instinctively did Ctrl+Z to fix a mistake, and I cannot be bothered to redo them for a third time, so this is what you're getting.

I'm going to criticise the scimitar product for having all its hand pose presets embedded with a load of unnecessary data that resets a huge heap of the pose controllers (not direct pose values, but instead things like expression and "heeled foot" poses), which also bogs down the load massively. I have put in a ticket about it, but have yet to hear back.
@Matt_Castle, they all look nice :)
How long does Sue Yee's suspender skirt get with the length morph? I don't think it's shown on the promo renders and the skirt looks quite short on them.
A last one for September (not very inspired for the title, sorry :o): Dance with the stars.
Newly used items:
The other items are linked in the gallery.
About 6 or 7 centimetres longer (roughly 2.5 inches). Still not very long, but characters will still have a markedly better chance of keeping the colour of their knickers a secret.
The short morph is however perfect for anyone who wants to play panty-peakaboo on hard mode.
The phrasing of this gave me a massive gigglefit. Thank you.
Thank you :)
Regarding the non-folding laptop while you very likely have the knowledge to rig the one you used, in case you already have the following product, there is a folding laptop in Shinjuku Living: it's a bit old in its design and it has a japanese keyboard, but it's rigged and it has a CD tray rigged
Elor and Matt_Castle all of your images look so great! (And it reminds me I should render something to contribute here as well.)
And adding to rigged laptops discussion, this pose and props set seems to have a fully rigged one: https://www.daz3d.com/z-modern-gadgets-props-and-poses-for-genesis-8 and it's in the outlet at the moment.
Thank you :)
KindredArts is also sharing a free rigged laptop:

I have a new render, Vigil, for 'Llola Lane’s RENDER A MONTH Challenge 2025':
The newly used items are:
Counting the hammer (not purchased from Daz), it's a #4News challenge
A silly render I did of Mira Longbuck, my ratling (read "space-halfling") PC from a Dark Heresy 2nd Edition campaign, as a (very short) Sister of Battle.

Strictly I have used odd bits and pieces out of the other characters previously, but I'm going to count using them in their full forms here.

I did this one for Kindred Arts' Monster Mash Freebie Challenge for October. (Please check it out and join in - it's a lovely challenge to inspire some fun Halloween renders!)
This one's going for #StuffSoAncient, where I used 3DU's Monsters in my Cupboard for the first time, which was released in 2010 according to the read-me. What a fun adorable character! Has lots of morphs to customize its appearance and randomize scripts to create a random monster using the morphs, with random coloring etc.
Story: Pierrot and Pierrette's trick or treating is waylaid by a monster hungry for their cupcake treats!
@SapphireBlue That is just wonderful
