I had a free dragon but I don't know where it went, or what cd it's on? So I need to buy a Dragon for my art pictures. I need one thats easy to work with. The Daz dragon is on sale. Does this mean a new ones going to come out? Thanks ahead for any help!

Love is Grandchildren.

So far i have all the currently for sale dragons. and each one is god for what they are. daz dragon is more a "Classic" look to it and i have used the most. all the others are good as well.

The best dragon? Jeez, ask an easy one sometime... The best dragon depends on what you want. The DAZ dragon has just about the most freebies and add-on products of anything on the market, but its head is... well, in my opinion, lacking. MallenLane's so-called "Adult hatchling" is one of the most gorgeous looking dragons out there, but he looks a mite too friendly to me if he's going to be a bad guy. ^_^ My own Dracos Titanicus is a heavyset, physically powerful looking beast, but does not have anywhere near the "after market support" - only three or so rextures. However, it is also the cheapest of these three. Mock's Dragon has a build roughly similar to the DAZ dragon (i.e., slender but muscular), and in my opinion has a better head, but it also has a beaked head, which may or may not be right for you. It is roughly comparable in price to the Dracos Titanicus, but also has slightly more after-market support. Then there's Anton's Storybook Dragon, a quadropedal wingless dragon. I know very little about this one. The free dragons that I know of are Anton's free dragon, which is probably more appropriately called a wyvern since it has no forelegs, only wings (should be available in Freestuff), my Land Dragon, which is a wingless dragon and also not that threatening looking (here in freestuff), and I've seen a few others around... I did a thread in the Product Showcase forum to shocase all the dragons available (and some not), where all the dragons were shown in grescale with no textures... That's the link above. One warning, it's quite graphics intensive. ^_^ I hope this helps!

I asked that question a few months ago. Here's a link to the very helpful responses. For my project it turned out the Adult Hatchling at DAZ3D had the best features. You can see the results on my gallery page and compare to the pics at daz. I'm also probably going to go for the dragon kit.


Hiram ( ) posted Tue, 14 May 2002 at 12:43 PM

Wow, we all just rushed for that one, huh? Oh, and never mind the one on my gallery page, I forgot I posted it in the thread as well. Judge for yourself how friendly he looks.


Valandar ( ) posted Tue, 14 May 2002 at 12:45 PM

Heh, yeah, Hiram, us dragon fanciers love our dwaggys... and have strong opinions...

There was also a very nice looking wyvern at Poseworks, a while back. I like it better than some of the others, and it was free. I just went there to check it out for you, but their downloads are temporarily unavailable. They're at poseworks.com


steveshanks ( ) posted Tue, 14 May 2002 at 1:34 PM

Bloodsongs Dragon factory IMHO :o), you get loads of dragons with that pack, theres a thread a few days back about it a searcg should bring up.......Steve


Turtle ( ) posted Tue, 14 May 2002 at 3:02 PM

Valandar Your land dragon here(freestuff the link doesn't work) :O( I already had the Adult Hatchie and took it back. I love the Lil-Hatching. But I wanted an mean looking, classical dragon. Thanks for all the links-Hiram, I had Antons free dragon before. I now have it again. :O). but I still will probaby buy The cd or go with Daz's. Not in any hurry to spend my money. ha-ha. I'll play around with this and see if I can make it work.

If you're gonna BUY, go get the Dragon Factory at 3DMenagerie.com. That little kit will give you the resources to make dozens of different great-looking dragons, even Chinese style ones.

Turtle ( ) posted Tue, 14 May 2002 at 7:34 PM

Ha-ah love the render. :O) Bloodsongs dragons are sure a hit with people who have that cd.?? I do love the free Morphs for Hatchie and poses at her site. They really could have been sold. (there that good.)

Little_Dragon ( ) posted Tue, 14 May 2002 at 8:23 PM

Anton's free dragon (I think it's more of a wyvern, also) can be downloaded at Fantasy3D.



Little_Dragon ( ) posted Tue, 14 May 2002 at 8:39 PM

By the way, those threads are a bit out of date now. After they were posted, Imagination Works released its own Poser dragon, and Valandar created an oriental dragon which can be found in the Marketplace.

If you're set on getting the original DAZ Dragon, this thread compares many of the available textures.



Turtle ( ) posted Tue, 14 May 2002 at 11:01 PM

Thanks little Dragon. That compares link was great!!! Haven't made up my mind. but with the Daz dragon you wouln't have to buy any textures. :O) They brought up the point that not many renders done of Daz dragon? Why is it hard to work with. I only want a dragon to be in renders I do with the Faries. :O) Thanks again.

Love is Grandchildren.


Little_Dragon ( ) posted Wed, 15 May 2002 at 12:32 AM

You're welcome. You'll find plenty of images of the DAZ Dragon in the galleries. He's simply outnumbered by the naked Victorias. Mammals. Go figure.

I just have to say thanks to Valandar he always mentions my dragon favorably, one could not ask for better competition for you dragon buying dollar and yes his dragon looks great very well modeled indeed. (so to all you shopping you can get both mine and his for less than the daz hehe). So here's a look at mine, note you can set the beak to invisible which gives it kind of a T-rex look which was unintentional on my part but hay it works.

Thanks for the IW link and the plug for us and also Valandar's dragon. ("outnumbered by naked V's" lol :) FYI: Our Poser model prices are coming down a bit, but I shall make a post once our site reflects these changes. BTW,Who is the dragon-rendering King or Queen that would like to create some keewwwl renders for us to post, in exchange for our little dragoon? Any takers? Lemme know! Tx! Pam pam@iw43d.com


Mock ( ) posted Thu, 16 May 2002 at 7:26 PM

Heck Id love too but Im not the king more like the duke or earl.


Little_Dragon ( ) posted Fri, 17 May 2002 at 3:24 AM

Baron regent, myself. I'd take you up on your offer, but I work more with animation than still-renders, and prefer to use my own creations. Sorry.
