Deviation Actions
A couple of new articles up on DigiSprawl. First is a review of Iray Light Manager Pro, and the second is a tutorial on setting up actions and shortcuts (something very handy if you want to add Light Manager to your toolset).
I've got a few articles in the works at the moment: another short tutorial, some possible training material reviews, and a hardware article.

Impromptu art features
I've never done an art feature on my own private page, mostly because I don't get enough traffic to bother, but I was ordering seven years worth of "Featured" favourites (there was twice what there is now - literally hundreds!), and seeing all the pretty images group together at the top of the gallery was too inspiring to pass up the desire.
There is no theme (other than all the images happen to contain female humanoids). There are newer images and ones that have been floating around DA for quite some times. Enjoy the selection (or don't - but seriously, why wouldn't you).

Victoria 8 Full Review
I feel like I'm fairly intimately familiar with Victoria/Genesis 8 now. I have spent a good number of hours evaluating and putting together a fairly thorough review of Victoria 8. As usual, I learn a little more about DAZ Studio and 3D in general ever time I do one of these, so it's all time well spent.
Feel free to put your own opinions and any feedback forward.
Workflow overview - rigging and JCMs
This tutorial has been in the works a while now, but I've finally manage to sort through my workflow for rigging a garment item that is a bit more challenging than your average tightly conforming kit.
The tutorial covers ugly transfer tool jobs, weighting, distortion caused by Genesis 3 JCMs, and basic fixes within DAZ Studio that give us a cleaner mesh to work with.
It's not an easy tutorial, but I hope I explained the reasoning behind the workflow and it's value.
Prop modelling for Victoria 7
Have been doing a lot of prop modelling of late and wanted to share a little teaser of what I'm currently working on. The models are finalised, but they have not yet be UV mapped.
