Poser Freebies

I'd like to say thank-you to the community with some freebies. I'll add to this collection as I make them. Got a request? Send me an email or a tweet(@NanoGrrl). These may also be seen at Freestuff on Renderosity.com

I use Silo, modo, Poser Pro2012, FilterForge, Photoshop CS6, and various Dimension3D utilities to create these.

Slon Imperial - use links in text to download Slon Imperial
TWO ZIP files, 39 MB and 7.3 MB

PART ONE > Download

PART TWO > Download

Herewith a set of clothing and props for Nursoda's Slon character. (Slon is available at the Renderosity Marketplace). The inspiration is vaguely Mandarin, so I called this "Slon Imperial." Presumptuous, yes, I know. The Imperial Coat is a conforming figure with five skirt handles to allow posing for walking and sitting. There are several smart-props that go with it: A hat, a ring for each hand, and three plain hoop earrings for each ear are included.

The included Poser materials are .MC6 files and won't clutter up your Pose directory. However, I broke with my usual tradition and added material poses, too, for the coat and hat. The coat has several material zones (collar, sleeves, cuffs, front, buttons). All pieces come with PNG templates included in the textures folder.

I have made three texture sets and the honorable Wayii has graciously donated two more hat/coat sets for me to include. Be sure to get her gorgeous Chinese-themed add-on textures! They are also freebies.

I highly recommend using Morphing Clothes (Dimension3D at Renderosity Marketplace) to add in the Slondie morphs.

Collar for Noggins Rat Collar for Noggin's Rat
ZIP file, 192 KB

The Fantasy Rat version of Noggin's Rat (available from DAZ3D) is so cute, it needed a ribbon collar with a bow on it. A PINK ribbon collar with a bow on it. So, here's a conforming collar (just a round bit) and a smart-propped bow to go with it. Incidentally, the bow can be used on all sorts of things--like lingerie--as it has a decent back AND front.

There is only the pink procedural satin material supplied for the collar and bow. Really, any procedural cloth should work just fine.

Unzip to your Poser directory and enjoy!

M4 Victorian Vest Download M4 Victorian Vest (Part 1 of 2)
ZIP file, 45.3 MB

Fit morph will get it over your favorite pants (I like the Cyperpunk M4 pants). Five addtional styles included as Poser MC6 poses: Black Denim, Blue-Grey Baroque, Charcoal Pinstripe, Dark Blue Denim, Dark Blue Suede and the Scarlet Brocade shown at left.

Looks great with IDL!

Just Horns for M4Just Horns for M4
ZIP file, 1.1 MB

This is a pack of 6 parented horn props fitted to M4. They were originally made for FemaSu PAE, but I thought, "Why not?" So here they are, with new fits and Poser shaders, for M4. Two props (positions) are supplied for each set of horns.

As usual, install to your Poser folder. Enjoy!

Scandalous Shirt M4Scandalous Shirt for M4 (version 1.0)
ZIP file, 21.3 MB

Now you have a goth-style superconforming shirt for M4 with six textures. A great number of fit morphs are included as well as a couple of movement morphs so bent legs work better.

An update will add tuck-in and over-pants fits...

As usual, install to your Poser folder. Enjoy!

Window Seat SetSmart Tablet Prop
ZIP file, 1.25 MB

This quick and dirty tablet prop will fill in where you need an iPad but don't necessarily need it to be exactly that. (Sams3d has a beautiful iPad freebie!) Low poly, no frills, that's mine--LOL. But it's shiny and glossy and has something on the screen and two buttons. The materials are Poser shaders, but the basic texture should work fine in DAZ Studio. This is very easy to texture, so you can make any screen or frame color you like! There are also 5 material zones to play with. :)

The tablet comes in at zero position, as well as smart-propped to the left hand of either M4 or V4 (three different prop files). There are ALSO hand poses for M4 and V4 to get you started.

As usual, install to your Poser folder. Enjoy!

Window Seat SetM4 Hipster Glasses
ZIP file, 382 KB

Who doesn't eventually need a pair of glasses? There are lots of great glasses out there, but very few plain ol' hornrims—so I made us some! This smartprops to M4's head and comes textured for POSER. However, it is fully UV mapped and comes with a TEMPLATE, so Studio shaders should apply fine.

There are some extra Poser-style MATERIALS (MT5) that you can use for variety, and there are two material zones on the frames, in case you want the two-toned look! Tortoise shell, black plastic, translucent cream and translucent gray are included. The lenses employ a Poser glass material, so you'll want to use raytracing for the full effect.

As usual, install to your Poser folder. Enjoy!

Window Seat SetWindow Seat Set
ZIP file, 33.6 MB

This package contains a single window seat set, a small room with a window that opens and latches. You can move the pilasters, hide or show any part, and of course retexture it! The texture is the largest part of the pack, but the model loads quickly. You could load several and use the walls in various ways for more variety.

There is a POSE file for a texture with bump maps and a MATERIAL file for a texture using normal maps.

A TEMPLATE is included in case you want to do a less basic texture job (please do!)

As usual, install to your Poser folder. Enjoy!

M4 Jewelry Pack 5M4 Jewelry Pack 5
ZIP file, 3.41 MB

This package contains 16 models, 8 left and 8 right of each of these items: drop earring, plain hoop earring, plain finger ring, 2-metal ring (thirds), rubber bracelet, and a sparrow-skull ring. I actually own the rubber bracelet and the sparrow-skull ring (my skull model's a little simpler). All the details are in the mesh, and with plenty of material zones, you can customize these very easily.

POSER 9 materials used for the pearl and garnet earrings (shown at left). Minyassa's brilliant metals and gem shaders used on the others. Use raytracing with these for best results

TEMPLATES are included in case you want to add runes or something to these items!

As usual, install to your Poser folder and it will fluff out into the correct Cool Tuna folders. Enjoy!

Poseable HandcuffsPoseable Handcuffs
ZIP file, 858KB

You know you've been needing some truly poseable handcuffs, right? Here they are! And they're free! Shiny steel Poser procedural textures, but also UV mapped with a template, if you want to texture and customize further. A key prop is included as well. The swing arms open and close, the little switches move, and the two bases are linked by not only modeled links but an IK chain to make them easy to pose. This fully-rigged set will be a joy forever. Don't lose the key and remember your safe word!

As usual, install to your Poser folder and it will fluff out into the correct Cool Tuna folders.

M4 Dress BootsM4 Dress Boots
ZIP file, 26 MB.

Updated to add a morph to bend the instep.

This is a pair of conforming dress boots, by request. Included are morphs for M4 Enhanced, Elite body shapes, Morphs++, Muscles FBMs and F4 Legendary Body.

Download and unzip into your Poser directory and use! I do not have DAZ Studio to test in, but you should be able to use the textures with a little fiddling. Poser Material Collection (MT6) and Pose files (PZ2) are included, along with convenient show/hide feet poses if you need them. There is also a template for the ambitious, and material zones for zipper pull, zipper (just the area, no teeth modeled), uppers, heel, toe, and sole. That ought to keep you busy for a while. :)

Included textures: Black, Brown, Gray, Black & White (like spats), Gothic Gray (with floral designs), and Steampunk Gold and Black (pictured at left).

M4 Laced ShortsM4 Laced Shorts
ZIP file, 45 MB.

This is a pair of conforming side-laced shorts for M4! It has a starter set of 6 texture/colors (both PZ2 and MT6). The basic gray is sort of silvery, shown at left, but add your favorite diffuse color in the materials room and it will change for you! The laces are modeled, not painted on! The fly is so your characters can go to the bathroom more easily--but there's no open morph, sorry.

There are included morphs for M4 Enhanced, Elite body shapes, Morphs++ body shapes, glutes, waist, thighs and so forth. There's even a little package morph so sitting looks more natural.

Download and unzip into your Poser directory and wear! I do not have DAZ Studio to test in, but you should be able to use the textures with a little fiddling. There is also a template for the ambitious, and material zones for waistband, laces, panels, fly, button, grommets, studs, and hems as well as the shorts. That ought to keep you busy for a while. :)

Spywatch Fit Starter PosesSpywatch Fit Starter Poses
ZIP file, 37 KB.

After you buy the really nice Spywatch by Xaa at Content Paradise, you'll need some poses to get you started. The watch is a figure, so it comes into a scene in the zero position; then you have to move it to your character's (left) arm. Fin. Whatever. And the parent it after it's positioned.

These poses will place the watch on the left arm for M4, V4, M3, and V3. After that, you need only tweak the position, parent the watch to the character's forearm (do that yourself, it's really easy), dial up the proper fit, and away you go!

M4 Jewelry Pack 4Gardening Poses
ZIP file, 69 KB.

This is a free pack of poses for M4 and V4 with a gardening theme. The garden utensils shown in the thumbnails are not included; however some may be found free around the web and at DAZ3d. There are only two poses plus a zero in this first edition, as they take me rather a long time to do; however I would like to do more, so watch this space.

M4 Jewelry Pack 4M4 Jewelry Pack 4
ZIP file, 1.93 MB.

This is a small pack of smartpropped jewelry for DAZ3D's Michael 4 character, containing four versions of a gold-studded silver ring (right and left forefinger and thumb) and two versions of a spiked wrist band (right and left wrist) that matches an earlier collar also free, below.

ZIP file, 1.59 MB.

Five pairs of smart-propped and textured horns for FemaSu PAE 2011, made to blend with Wayii's "Mist" skin texture for that figure, as shown at left. Also includes INJ/REM poses to add horn bump morphs for a little extra realism. Horns are textured for Poser and include texture maps and templates so you can texture your own, too.

M4 Snarlz - click to download -M4 Snarlz
Are your boy's leers lackluster, his snarls less than satisfying? Well, by request, you now can have 14 snarls, sneers, lip curls, yells, and a roar for M4 pulled straight out of my images. All are asymmetrical; some are pretty funny. None of these .fc2 files will affect your character morphs. Reset pose included (00_Default). May work in DAZ Studio, as they're just pose files.
Steampunk Sith Materials - click to download -

Poser Materials Poses (MT6) for Wayii's Steampunk Sith textures for Royloo's T2 M4 set
Following on the success of the Diamonds & Rust P6+ textures (below), Wayii agreed that I could do a similar set for Royloo's free Christmas present, the T2 for M4 set. I created some Poser-specific Material Room poses that use node work of my own to add luster, irridescence, and shine to an already outstanding package. You will also find the hand pose and pistol pose that I used in this promo picture.Download and enjoy! The instructions are inside. No, it DOES NOT include the Steampunk Sith textures, which are hosted at PoserAddicts II.

Battler Materials - click to download -

Poser Materials Poses (MT6) for Wayii's Diamond & Rust textures for Royloo's Battler set
As soon as Wayii put out her Diamonds and Rust textures for Battler (both at Poser Addicts II store) I wanted them! However, they're set up for DAZ Studio only. This didn't mean we Poser users couldn't have them, however, so I created some Poser-specific Material Room poses that use Minyassa's awesome new Metals as well as some node work of my own to add luster, irridescence, and shine to an already outstanding package. Download and enjoy! The instructions are inside.

Does NOT include the Diamonds & Rust textures or Royloo's Battler. You have to purchase these other two items yourself. PS - Wayii made the cute icons for this, too. I just borrowed them.

Oni Horns - click to download -

Oni Horns for M4 and V4
This set was originally developed for my Oni character, Gil (left), and as such are meant to be used with hair, not alone (and I paint my hair). Two horn sets for each figure, a smaller rear set and a curly rams' horn style front set, are both textured using both Poser 7 shaders and an image map, and are smart-propped to the figure's head. The texture maps should work in Studio, but you will have to adjust them somewhat, I believe. Characters not included! You can easily move these paired horns around to suit yourself.

Spike Piercings for M4 - click to download -

M4 Jewelry Pack 3: 8 Spike piercings for Michael 4
This set of spikes is placed on M4's lip, both sides of nose, both ears, and forehead—a single or a group of three. This was modeled in Hexagon and created as smart props in Poser 7 Pro. A silver shader texture is applied (as you can see) and a silver reflection map supplied, but not required. Will load in place on a default M4 face; you will likely need to adjust the placement slightly for your characters. Not tested in DAZ Studio, but it should work fine. You'll need to add your own metal shader(s).

M4 Jewelry Pack 2

M4 Jewelry Pack 2
Eleven smart props to decorate your boys! They consist of cabachon nose and ear jewelry, right and left for both; gear-shaped dangle earrings with a French wire loop, left and right; cabachon rings to match the nose & ear studs in style, for ring fingers of right and left hands; a very simple link bracelet in steel and black rubber; and a horn-pipe necklace with a center bead and detailed back clasp. I have no idea if these work in DAZ Studio, but hopefully someone will let me know! They use procedural materials applied in Poser 7 Pro, so those will not translate. I'm sorry! I just don't have time to come up to speed in Studio just now. They are fitted to a default M4, so adjustment will be necessary to fit your (and my) characters, using the regular trans/rotate/scale dials.

Spiked Collar for M4 - click to download -

Spiked Collar for Michael 4
This detailed smart prop is parented to M4's neck, and fits fairly closely on the default M4 figure. Experimentation has showed that it can be fitted reasonably well (if not perfectly) using the default xyz translation and rotation. It has material zones & procedural materials for Poser 7. You should be able to apply whatever procedural materials you like, but it has not been completely UVmapped...yet... Should work just fine in Poser 6 & 7. I do not have Daz Studio, so could not test it there. Unzip to your Poser folder, everything will go in the right places.

Nipple piercings for M4 - click to download -

6 Nipple Piercings for M4
These 6 nipple pierces, three pairs (left, right) are smart-propped to M4's chest. Obviously, you'll have to turn his nipple on for this to look right. They have procedural shaders made in Poser 7, but since they have material zones, you should be able to add any material you like to them. These are set up for the default M4 morph settings (zeroed out), so you'll have to fiddle with the X-trans, Y-trans, Z-trans and the rotations to adjust for your morph selection.

Fundoshi for M4E - click to download -

Fundoshi for Michael 4 Enhanced (beta 0.1)
My very first Poser conforming clothing item! The mesh needs refinement, and the texture is rudimentary. However, it takes shader "cloth" textures quite well and has many morphs in the hip for fitting. Please do let me know how this works for you. I intend to tighten up the "wrinkles" in the mesh and provide an actual UV map template (it is uvmapped) in the next version. Should work just fine in Poser 6 & 7. I do not have Daz Studio, so could not test it there. Unzip to your Poser folder, everything will go in the right places.

Russell for M4E - click to download -

Russell Character Morphs for Michael 4 Enhanced
Contains two sets of injection/remove poses (.pz2) files and a PMD file to be used on a non-morphed Michael 4 Enhanced figure already loaded. Will affect both body and face. You will need to apply the extra "Russell Eyes" pose as well as the "Russell M4E" pose. Not yet tested for DAZ Studio. Uzip to your Poser folder and go! Texture is not included; for this promo render I used Shawn for M3 converted for M4 and Neftis' GQ Event hairstyle, together with eyes from PurIz for Mil4.

M4 Facial Piercings - click to download -

15 Facial Piercings for Michael 4
This is a set of 15 smart-propped piercing props for Michael 4, set up in Poser 7 using a silver material graciously provided by Minyassa of Renderosity (whose excellent gemstone material set I can heartily recommend). The materials should work in Poser 6. The props, definitely. Not yet tested for DAZ Studio.

Dexter-face - click to download -

Homage à Dexter.
This is a single face pose, for Poser, created in Poser 7, that recreates closely, if not exactly, Michael C. Hall's Dexter character. Use and abuse as you will! You may need to sleep with the light on, though. Not tested in DAZ Studio.

The materials should work in Poser 6. The props, definitely. Not tested for DAZ Studio.

This is a set of 16 smart-propped piercing props for David 3, set up in Poser 7 using a silver material graciously provided by Minyassa of Renderosity. The materials should work in Poser 6. The props, definitely. The post earrings are placed differently from the M3 set, but they are otherwise equivalent. Not tested for DAZ Studio.
