Thanks for all the newest links!

Madrigal, I'm so so sorry to hear about your dog - no matter how old, losing a loved one is so hard

{Hugs}

And I hope your husband's leg heals quickly!!

Thanks so much sweetie! His leg's healing but he's being a big baby about the anticoagulant injections he has to have for the next few weeks! :D

Aww, injections are no fun.  He's allowed to be a LITTLE bit of a baby. right?  lol

Anticoag injections are no fun.  The injection itself ain't painful but after about 10 minutes you feel like you were kicked in the guts.  Not nice.

Commiserations on the loss of your doggy.

Latest guitar from MDP ! And I like the colour - a shade of pearlised pink or summat. Pink. Yes.

:lol:  My wife would love that.

Many thanks, Mask.  Excellent work, as always.  Your talent is exceeded only by your generosity.

Not yet available but Mask-da is currently working on another set of Gibson guitars, the Nighthawk and Blueshawk.  Looks good so far and I'm confident they'll be up to his usual very high standard.

First, so sorry to hear about your animal companion. That always sucks, no matter what species.

I also missed the Dark Division giveaway, the last half anyway, due to travel. No luck so far finding out who to contact exactly. I've tried a couple of their linked blogs and those took a lot of digging to find. No response there. Does anyone know how to contact them or if they might consider having pity on us? They are so awesome to make great interesting M4 stuff. And of course they also give us some pretty boys and yaoi, but that's me.

Been pulling my hair out trying track them down lol. So so sad  :(

A bicycle for Moms ! Just released.

Sannzi has released his third collection of cherry blossom petals:

His blog post also shows - in graphic form, so language is not such a big hurdle - how to best use his petals for renders.

Sakura blossom time is coming around in Japan.

Futenpen has released a Japanese anime style maid clothing set.

http://www42.tok2.com/home/futepen/meigaten.html

It has this description: メイドセットのSera V3用調整版です。

(hope your web browser shows the Japanese characters !)

Maid set for Sera V3 (as in version3) figure.  I can't seem to find a render of the clothing set though.

Thanks for letting us know.

I have not had chance to install the new Sera or Maid Set yet but looking at the ZIP contents of the Maid Set V3 it is exactly the same set as the previous one with different file sizes. Maybe Sera has been updated to the stage where all the clothing will need updating.

Yes, correct.

The earlier Sera is Version 2 ( or "V2"). This is Version 3 ( "V3", not the DAZ  Victoria 3).

And from what I see Sera V3 has also been updated.   The one I had was from Feb9 and the current one is Feb19.  If you hover above the links you can see the dates and keep track of what's been updated so far.

futepen has updated the school set as well,

Thanks to you both!

Haven't said THANKS for awhile for the links to these and of course to the artists who are generously giving them away, so THANKS!! :)

Yes, thank you very much for all the hard work infinity10 and the artists who create them.

For those of you who have Sannzi's doll (a prize, I believe, for participating in a recent online art exhibition, organised by Japanese Poser users ), the ThanatosRing blog has a couple of free textures for the doll) :

Thanks to Google's impending removal of their Reader sservice (RSS feed reader), plus my impending travels around the planet, I may be slow to update here. 

Google Reader has be really helpful and useful for me, insofar as tracking updates by Japanese freebie content creators is concerned.  For the time being, I am trying out Feedly as a replacement, so we'll see how that works out.

Meanwhile, everyone is free to post news about Japanese freebies here, so long as Renderosity's Terms Of Use are followed, of course (it would be a pity if Renderosity had to take down this thread !). 

Didn't know Google was removing RSS (behind the times here)

But I found a bunch of other options noted in a Google search for

google rss replacements

which includes links talking about some other options

Hope your travels go well!!

Thanks. Some of the Japanese content creators are also a bit irritated about Reader being taken out of service. Let's just see how things pan out.

You're welcome! 

Aziqo has released Kireta clothing set 5 for M4 on his blog. It's the top post in the list, if you click on it, takes you to the dl site. The set's one of those Japanese school uniforms with a high collared jacket, pants, t-shirt, shoes and socks - most of which can, of course, be retextured as other stuff.

I like Aziqo's work, can you tell? :D

No direct link here as he has some NSFW stuff on his site :)

infinity10 - enjoy your travels and thanks for all the work you've done on this thread. :)

cheers, Madrigal !

Thanks, but I'm having no luck downloading.  I eventually get to a page on getuploader ending with m4Kireta5Set.zip but the page won't go into a translator and none of the links appear to download the set :(.

Edit - it appears to want a password, but I don't know where to find one...

When you submit the form with your name, country etc the password is on the page it returns with the link. It is printed above the link.

You should see this on the page, with the information included obviously. Then on the download page there is a space to enter the password.

Just downloaded the file so can confirm all working.
