Didn't receive the Renderosity newsletter :(
Haven't received one in a while, actually. Strange, I didn't unsuscribe...
Same for me... and I tried several times to re-subscribe but it doesn't work somehow...
Those that don't get the Rero newsletter: you could try to contact them: https://www.renderosity.com/contact
Picked up a few items from the new Biweekly(ish) Freebies.
Wicked Asian Influence - G2F & is not something I'd use a lot but it's 2 piece and my centaur gals like to change up their style, or maybe 1 of them is into anime cosplay.
Wicked Seoul - G2M. The pull up shirt morph got my attention. Plus no shoes so I don't have to deal with that autofit issue
Agent Gun Poses G3M - very recent by Biweekly Freebies standard. No pistol prop included and poses are easy to tweak
Starting March Madness off early. Come get a free item https://www.daz3d.com/choose-your-madness-gift#order=popular^1&filtered=1. Use coupon code MADNESS-GIFT
Anybody else have this problem with Vanda, who's free at the moment?
It looks fine in preview and render for me. It appears to use the base G3F uv set.
Very strange... will contact support I guess.
Ok, I figured it out. It's the Normal maps that are messed up somehow. Disable Normals and the problem disappears.
That being said, there's a whole bunch of other little mistakes that I found in that skin while investigating. Some - but not all - surfaces have the diffuse map applied to the Transulency channel even though this skin has dedicated SSS maps; sometimes the Specular map is applied to the Glossy Layered Weight channel and other times to the Glossy Color channel... that kind of stuff. Even some faintly visible seams that appear to be baked into the maps. Kind of sloppy
@Hylas: Maybe it is also one of those assets which seem to have been broken when the software bridges were integrated, see this thread, which lists some of them:

The new Weekly-ish freebies have a couple of critters, Piglet & Bass (fish). Most of the remainder are texture add-ons. Some of the add-ons don't make clear that's what they are. The title doesn't mention it & there's no Required Products listed. So read the blurbs carefully!
I think it is just the M4 Jacket and Gate textures that have this problem.
(ETA: Freebies posted 9/24/23, under September, October, November)

Sweet Angela Hair is a DAZ Original, so it must have been put into The Vault sometime in the last 5 years. Snooki would be sad. It's a shame the hair wasn't given away, too. Here is the archived product page from 2018...
https://web.archive.org/web/20180116072306/https://www.daz3d.com/catalog/product/view/id/11872
First December Weekly Freebie set. Eligible for the December & January Freebie Challenge (This one is a 2 month).
Kin G9 fem character/hair/poses; dForce Angie Cuffed Jeans (G9); Boudoir Photo Shoot poses G2F; Strong Man poses G2M; Pit Fighter outfit textures G1; Cookie & Chip Super poses; Gothic Accents V4 (jewelry); Makes & Cudgels, IDL Sunset Studio (Poser lights); Forest Prince M4 (character); Mediterranean Patio Expansion; Stars in Your Eyes: Alex V4 (character); Holiday Outfit V3; Power Pixie (standalone Poser figure)
Picking up a couple of these. Gothic Accents is a set of pretty earrings & ear cuffs. I will see if the RSSY clothing converter will work on them, and I have lots of Iray gem & metal shaders. The Patio Expansion is furniture, plants, dishes, etc. that can be used anywhere. Not sure about the Pit Fighter textures. I have the original but never used it, and it's not something I'd normally buy. (Guess it was a Weekly or Daz+ freebie at some point or in a bundle.)
Second December freebie set (usavle for December/January freebie challenge)

***TerraDome 1 doesn't work in Daz Studio
No, Terradome 1 doesn't work in DS.
Thanks. I edited my post. I don't have any of the TD products which is why I wasn't certain.
Neither does Terradome 2
Store was nicer back then... *tear*
Textures for hair that no longer exists in store is useless for anyone who doesn't have that hair. At least the terradomes have image textures and bits of geometry accessible from DAZ. Utility is limited, but maybe better than textures for hair one can't get. >_> Then again, hair texture is kinda weird. It's usually a texture tile that's applied to a bit of geometry that represents a group of hair strands. It might be transferrable, a bit like textures for universal hair shaders. I took those items. I should look at that.
January Weekly-ish Freebies set 2 (eligible for January & February freebie challenges)
G9fem: Kin character/hair/poses; dForce Angie Cuffed Jeans set
G1: Laced-back Party Dress textures; Elf Witch textures; Sash Gown textures; Prep Gear outfit
Props/Environments/Other: I13 Visions of the Past; Sci-Fi Security Gear*; Fantasy Camp; Medical Tools 1 - Surgical Tools**; Dark Vault**; Fun in the Sand (sandbox & toys)**; Royal Carriages for Millennium Horse***
*includes some smart props for V4/M4 but everything else is usable with later generations; no Iray materials of course.
**Compatible Software does't list Daz Studio but all of these should work, based on store page info - DS render promos, DS materials listed, etc.
***Compatible Software doesn't list Daz Sudio but should work; includes MilHorse harness but no idea if it can be adapted to Horse 2 or 3.
My take: A treasure trove of assorted props, many of them requiring only updated shaders (or just applying the Iray base, depending upon your needs). Goes double for the I13 set. Also, I have the Surgical Tools and can confirm they are very DS-friendly.
Not much in clothes although I did grab Prep Gear. A half-decent shirt is always useful & it can be hard to find outfits that are suitable for youngsters.
Overall, a much better set than last time, although I still long for the odd starter/pro bundle.
Thanks for all this useful information. It is greatly appreciated.
We get a third January freebie set! Good for January and February freebie challenge.
@Fixmypcmike thanks for the kind words :)
G9: Kin character/hair/poses; dForce Angie Cuffed Jeans
G2: Arleya dress***; Jungle Girl outfit textures; Fair Corsair outfit textures
G1: M5 Gentleman Adventurer poses; Simple Elegance dress***; Legion for Genesis outfit textures
Gen4: Josie's Jewels jewelry Kids 4
Gen3: Stratus McCleod character (Hiro 3); V3.0 Ultra Catsuit
Other: Quad Tank (SF vehicle); Fairytale Regal Mane & Tail for the Poser Unicorn*; Mosquito**
*Requires both Poser Unicorn and Regal Main & Tail for the Poser Unicorn; all should work in D/S
**This isn't the insect but a cute & detailed robot/drone; should work in D/S.
***These 2 dresses DON'T have footwear, which should make them extra-friendly to autofit or convert; just add shoes for your favorite later generation
My take: Only the Mosquito caught my eye because it looks like a fun model. Just the thing for discreet surveillance and sampling. Or maybe it is a toy or an exhibit in a kid-friendly science museum. The Mosquito has several bright color options although I will probably change it up with Iray shaders instead of just applying the Iray base. There are 4 included poses. None of the promos have other objects so no idea of the default size.
