With the Marcoor Star Ship series, we have a really cool star ship exterior and a plethora of additional interior rooms and corridor to depict our ship how we want in a very modular way.
The SS Marcoor Corridor is a beautiful piece all by itself - but Corridor 2 and the Control Room expand it to branch off, intersect, or simply expand it in many, Many different ways.
Add to that the SS Marcoor Lifts and we can now traverse the various levels in different areas of the ship. For example, I'll have one Lifts section in fore of the ship which takes us into the below decks as well as one level up to a maintenance area. Deep aft I'll have another Lifts section leading to further engineering decks and the cargo hold. I also like to use one just behind the bridge as a teleportation devece - not a lift at all! :)
We also have a special kit bash product that turn the Control Room into a Med Bay!
Either as a maintenance crew or, perhaps even an adversary, we round off the Marcoor series with the incredible Marcoor Intel Bot!

Since it seems so fitting to this webisode, we'll also explore Ravnheart's wonderful Scifi Ship Building Blocks kit, which includes a plethora of detailed and shaded "Blocks" which we can use to kit bash our existing star ships, or even build a new one from scratch!
Here it is, the most advanced robotic rig based on the Genesis 8 skeleton. So, now you can use all your Genesis 8 poses and some Gen8 items. Unlike past Cyborgs for Daz Studio, the Cyber Gen 8 will be the base rig for new and future characters. This means that if you want to make your own robot without worrying about rigging and such, you can kit-bash your own creation.
With this purchase, you will get the Cyborg Genesis 8 base rig plus the first character, Solo and T-Model, in four different materials.

Reisormocap has been producing incredible motion capture - beautifully retargeted for Daz figures for as long as I've been in the game, perhaps even longer. I never question or flinch at the decision to buy a new pack because I already know that it will Wow me!
Check out Reisormocap at Daz 3d - when I click that link, I get an empty page! LOL

A Digital Art Live Experience
Now Available at Daz 3d - a Special new educational course that I've been anxious to share with everyone.
Paul Bussey, from Digital Art Live, offered an amazing opportunity for me to tell my story of how I've unlocked the key to a super-easy approach to animating in Daz Studio - something that a majority of animators consider to be nearly impossible, and for good reason.
Daz Studio is set up differently than traditional animating software, making it feeling clunky, even unfriendly to folks who are used to animating.
Check out the whole story on my Dynamic Character Animation in Daz Studio page
Let's get focused on mastering “aniMate 2” in DAZ Studio! AniMate 2 combines a user-friendly interface with sophisticated features, making it a valuable and core tool for animating your visual stories.
Dartanbeck uses AniMate 2 at the heart of his workflow and reveals in this tutorial set how to make the most of this and other hyper-useful tools such as LimbStick, Bone Minion and Mixamo for effective animation storytelling in DAZ Studio.
This tutorial set by Dartanbeck is for you if...
You're interested in uncovering the hidden and often overlooked powerful features of aniMate2, enhancing your animation capabilities in DAZ Studio.
You want to learn how to efficiently use aniBlocks, including advanced techniques like trimming, blending, and customizing motion paths for more dynamic animations.
You're keen on exploring the vast potential of aniBlock packs, cross-generation animation conversion, and integrating unique movements for characters and vehicles.
This is for you if you want to accomplish:
Making the most of aniMate2, ensuring a solid foundation for creating professional and intricate animations in DAZ Studio.
Expanding your creative horizons by learning how to modify and combine aniBlocks, achieving impressive new motions and animations.

Paul and I are at it again! We thought it would be a Great idea to demonstrate ways to Really perform some Cool Magic with your Daz Studio work, whether it's animated or still.
This is one session you won't want to miss!
There are many ways to build, save and render our Daz 3D scenes.
In Movie Magic we’ll explore workflows for creating specific, separate renders that are purposely made to be melded together into a single, final image.
Whether for you’re making still images OR animations, these practices add Magic by allowing us total freedom over the look of Every element within the scene.
You’ll see how much Faster we can work – how much more we can get done with an efficient workflow.
The additional tools and elements demonstrated are not essential to the course, but shown to inspire creativity in using them. The main things that we will take away from all of this can be achieved with your own library of content assets.
