Folder Favorites for DAZ Studio!
Link: http://www.daz3d.com/i/3d-models/0/folder-favorites?item=9540
Looking for an easy and creative way to have your most used content folders and poser folders right at your fingertips?
Imagine a singular "Favorites" content folder with folder script "shortcuts" that lead you directly to your content...
Imagine an additional option to put your folder "shortcuts" instead on an easily accessable DAZ Studio Favorites Menu... Or even calling it Collections... or having several menus like this...
Okay, stop imagining...
Netherworks' Folder Favorites provides an easy and concise way to navigate through content folders (View Folders List or Tree views) by utilizing a unified Favorites folder where shortcut 'scripts' to other folders are created and kept.
Still transitioning from DAZ Studio 2 to 3? Not a worry... both versions are included!
Features
Activate Folder Favorites: Quickly and Easily Sets up a new content folder named 'Favorites' where Shortcut 'Scripts' are created that allow you to easily navigate to any content folder that you so choose.
- Creates two new actions:
+ Browse to Favorites
+ Create Folder Favorite in your Scripts Menu, along with icons.
- Easily use Customize (F3) to add shortcuts to these actions to make them even faster.Folder Favorite Shortcut Scripts can be manipulated like any content script file and can be moved, deleted, renamed, and so on.
A Thumbnail is created when you add a new Shortcut Script. You can easily customize these by replacing them with your own custom .png.
Optionally, you can instead add a Folder Shortcut Action to a 'Favorites' Submenu on the Main DS Menu. You can even use any name you'd like for this folder or create multiple folders by using your own naming.
A full color Guide is included that can be opened within DAZ Studio.
Product works with DAZ Studio 2.3.3.146 and later plus DAZ Studio 3 (any version).
- Works properly with View Folders Tree or List Views in the content Library. Not for use with the Content Manager Database.
On Sale for just under $7 until September 1st!
Looks like the cache description may not be updating correctly, it does work in DAZ Studio 2 AND DAZ Studio 3.
Poser 8 Revealed!

Okay, so this isn't exactly breaking news anymore but there are some exciting features to keep your eye on.
I'm particularly thrilled about the Wxpython features. This is noticeable on the UI itself as all of poser palettes can now be docked or floated. The docking is well done and you can really customize to your heart's content. You can even close windows that you don't use often. Scripts that have designed with wx in mind can be placed into the UI also. I've also seen at least one script that was able to directly manipulate the selected figure's limbs in real time. Very very nice and I think you are going to see some real power unlocked here.
I hope we will see some exciting new content come out as a result at the end of this year!
Daz Studio 3.0 is here!
Link: http://www.daz3d.com/i/software/daz_studio3?_m=d

If you haven't looked at DAZ Studio in a while or are just getting into playing around with 3D, you might want to check out DAZ' flagship rendering and animation application, DAZ Studio 3.
Quite a few new features and tweaks are in the new version, including a touch-up to the render engine and visible cues for light sources. The advanced (pay for) version has a dazzling toolbox of new things to play with including shader "bricks", figure mixing and 64 bit support (windows).
However, every software can use some tweaks and DAZ offers an easy way for you to report bugs and request features, through it's bug tracker system (Under the Help menu).
One feature request that has been gaining some momentum is adding the ability for DAZ Studio 3 to save out version 2 files. Currently, DS 3 will read (more or less) older files but will not write them, which I think is important during this transition period. If you are a DS 3 user and agree, post your comments at the bug tracker entry here:
