Not necessarily. Because like Dark Angel said, the old links are no longer working for the moment.You fixed it before I could. Indeed today's freebie has a $14.99 savings.
I guess Daz needs to add a price for their system to work. So this year, they decided for $0.10. It could be $999 if they wanted to.
EDIT: the freebie of today is $14.99; perhaps this one will stay in the shop after the celebrations.
I'm with you on that Agent....I get a notice every time a new one is added LOLOL...But I do like their Christmas giveaways always...You get freebies from folks you normally don't get freebies from....So I'm glad that Aelin is on top of this....I tend to forget a lot of things of late.... :thud:I like their Christmas Freebies, too. I just don't get why they don't have them up earlier in the month.
I'm sorry but it's not "popup for free" because you had to pay to have it "free".Understood.
Anyway, this section is for freebies that you have by not giving a single penny, so like it's a new day, it's time for the new Rendo link.

Still 2 freebies available.
Rendo had three gifts up but the last one is now unavailable.Are you a Prime member? I guess not and that's the reason for why it's unavailable for you. Basic members have access to 2 freebies by day.
Renderosity's new links are up, grab them while you can.If the dress is for V4, it may be for Poser only, DAZ Studio has the Optitex Dynamic plugin, and the dForce built in Dynamics engine. Most likely it is for the Optitex plugin as dForce is for Genesis and later figure Clothing and Hair. Never seen any dForce dynamic clothing for V4, M4, or K4. I imagine that it could be made though.
You have a fire ring affect, 3 morphs for G8 and Prime is a dynamic dress for V4. I do not know if it's for Poser or Daz, if Daz I don't know if it's dForce or the Dynamic plugin.

I saw not dforce, but dynamic for M4 by the past on Daz. By Optitex, so such dynamics aren't for Poser.Well if you think about it they are all made from mostly .obj files. Cr2 is for conforming clothing that uses version of the rigging of the figures they are made for, and for Poser Figures, Cr2 is practically the only Poser figure format, no matter what type of figure it is, whether a vehicle, human or animal or fantasy creature, clothing, figure type hair, or machinery that has rigging for moveable part purposes. Dynamics of any type is something I don't know much about, but I'm sure that most of that type of product is also made mainly from .obj files. Of course there are other model formats, many being proprietary to the applications that use them, and perhaps there are dynamic types for those applications, if they can have them. I don't know, for instance what formats are dynamic for Blender, but I do know Blender has dynamics. I'm sure that other applications do also.
But for those being Prime, it worth it to reclaim the freebie anyway, then to check.
And I'm not sure, but maybe you can take a dynamic for Poser to convert in a .cr2. I think I saw that once, from Poser dynamic to a cr2.
The dynamic for Poser is in pp2 format. Either the geometric code is in a .obj format, or it's directly in the .pp2 format.I suppose dynamics would be a type of Pose. All I'm saying is that the clothing needs to be based on some type of geometric model. The dynamics comes in as the way the geometry behaves, or to be more specific, they way it moves, and how it acts with other geometry models, like the figure that is wearing a dynamic clothing item. The Dynamic clothing has collision programming that prevents poke through. I suppose the Dynamic programming can be Poser .pp2. But isn't the Cloth Room in Poser part of how it works?
The pp2 gives infos to the programs, which calculates what is necessary to do with infos that you added in the Cloth Room.So using Poser Dynamics, I could make a house ripple in the wind? Would I like to see that? Yes I would! LOL
A pp2 for a dynamic isn't different from a standard pp2. You can even add a simple shape like a place and simply with the Cloth Room transform it in a "fabric in the wind".
*****************
CR2 Character file. Anything with rigging.Thank you for clarifying this, PDG. I learn from you because of it. Sadly, those PFDLives tutorial files have been lost, due to the switch to a different server for the site. If those files had been allowed to remain, I would be more likely to know more about Poser, including the way Dynamics works in Poser. With such bad search engine skills as I admittedly have, finding other tutorials and info concerning that and other things about Poser is quite difficult for me. Don't worry, my friend. Sooner or later, I will find a way to learn. I am studying what I can find, even though it is coming to me rather slowly.
PP2 Prop file. Anything without rigging.
They are interchangeable.
Poser dynamic is a simple OBJ file with collision between OBJ vertex and face detected and an offset provided. Delaunay triangles are the best geometry for the colliding OBJ.
You are not going to "ripple" a house with dynamics. You might use the physics engine to do it but I haven't tried such a thing. It is beyond easy to ripple a flag with respect to Wind Force using dynamic cloth.
Poser's Cloth Room has absolutely nothing to do with making or deploying dynamic cloth. It is a way to transfer rigging from one CR2 into another group of one or more OBJ files to make a new CR2 file. Conforming cloth not dynamic cloth.
There are multiple ways and plug-ins to do cloth in Blender. Each is different and separate technique.
I've written ad nauseam on the process over the years. I wrote numerous tutorials on pfdlives at one time as well as Rendo and other places.
Dynamic hair? Don't remember all those PFD threads on making furry creatures like Mica huh? Or the "How to grow hair on anything, even a bowling ball" thread? I gave away a dynamic pony-tail for use on any figure. Universal pony-tail hair. That was Poser's Hair Room. None of that stuff took any special amount of computer power. I used a Pentium and then a Core2Duo to do that stuff for years. No special graphics card required. No massive amount of RAM. It's been part of Poser for 10 years or more now I guess.I do remember the threads. Was using a lot of your tutorials to learn Poser 10, when Smith Micro had it. When my laptop went almost belly up, it became difficult to do things on it. I still have the old laptop, but no battery or power supply for it. I would like to put the harddrive in another computer, but do not have one to put it in. My current computer is an HP All in One, and does not even have HDMI connection capability. I think I have a lot of my old files on it.
They aren't Christmas freebies but biweeklies, that's why they have their own topic around the yearMy apologies. I did not know where to post the message.

Finally Daz decided to do one more time a catchup for their true Advent freebiesThey put all of them up for today. Thing is I already have them all. Still, it's nice to see that DAZ is giving everyone the chance to grab anything they might have missed. There's quite a nice selection.

Check today, before it's too late!
I thought you'd like that. Excellent!Glad they did that....I'm all caught up LOL
