Oh, wow okay... thanks. I didn't even know that existed. Thank you.
Oh thank you! That one looks like the strap morphs will frustrate me a lot less. Appreciated.

Second set of June 2024 freebies, eligible for June and July freebie contests. I had questions about a couple freebies, so see footnotes. If anyone owns them and has more info, reply and I will edit. Thanks.
I may grab the Ikemen since there's a dearth of male youth and I don't always like the results I get with Growing Up. I forgot I have Beasts & Brutes. Might give some of them a try for the June challenge.
G9: Same Kin character/hair/poses & dForce Angie Cuffed Jeans set

Animals: Dark Boarding textures (Horse 2); Daz Lamb
Other: HOT Boots (textures, dx30 Overknee Lace-up Boots)**;Cookie Button Shirt; Vacuum Cleaner*
*says Poser but it DOES work in DS
**these textures are most likely for the V4 version of the boots
***Text states it is only for those 2 monsters, but there are a number of other base figure fits included, G1 & older
The Space Age Behemoth outfit looks like it is on the female, as well. Since it's Genesis, probably fits all.
Why couldn't they insist on telling which pair of boots the texture is for? I looked at a couple, and they seem to look alike. Even the help page is useless. Why have that page it is not at all helpful? Sorry, I'm as helpful as that page!
Actually, I looked at the release dates, and the ones for V4 and family (11686 ) seem to be the ones, since the release date for the textures is in 2011 and the boots themselves were released in 2010. The Genesis 2 version was in 2014. So, deduction says the V4 ones!
Looking at the readme for the Behemouth outfit, there are morphs for a lot of base figures, even as far back as V3, M3, Stephanie 3, Hiro 3
Can confirm vacuum works great in DS!
You can rotate the wheels, the "brush" (part on the front bottom that looks like a car fender), and the collector (back part that tips when you use a vacuum) within applied limits.
Sometimes newer versions of products like these keep the same UV so the older textures work. The classic DO Morphing Fantasy Dress is like that and it was made every generation gen3 through G8F.
I thought I owned the boots but it's a different set by the PA. Bummer, as I like the V4 pair I have (low heels!!) and they converted well with the RSSY script.
I missed all the Behemoth outfit fits somehow. I picked it up anyways last night. I hope it autofits to some later generations, including some of the heftier fantasy characters I have. Will try it & report back.

@SilverGirl, I also have that vacuum & forgot about it. What can I do with it? I know! In the ancient 1970s Saturday Sabrina the Teenage Witch cartoon at least 1 of her aunts rode an upright vac instead of a broom. Halloween render! (Caution: If you only know the latest, darker Sabrina the 100% sweet 70s version could break your brain if you look up the videos. My (age 20s) daughter was horrified when I described the broom with a canopy and G rated plots. Bwahaha!)
I will edit my post.
It's a nice selection this week
Two poses sets (I like the sports one), a clothes item, a character and a nice vacuum cleaner, alongside the usual products with dependencies I rarely own (but I'm getting them anyway, maybe the dependancies will be gifted at a later date
).
The vacuum cleaner still looks good after a conversion to Iray (a simple one, using the Iray shaders included with Daz Studio):
I have no idea if I'm allowed to share the material preset created, so I'll share the method I followed for those like 'Elor from the past' who may not know how to do it
On every surface except glass, I applied the shaders while pressing on the CMD key (likely CTRL on a Windows computer), which means a menu will be opened before applying the shaders, allowing us to apply the shaders while keeping every images already used in place.
I used the 'Plastic - Smooth' shader on most surfaces, except the one named rubber (where I used the 'Rubber - Matte' shader), the one named metal (I used the 'Metal - Steel - Galvanized' shader) and the one named glass.
For the glass surface, I followed the advice given by @DAZ_cjones in this message, using the second method: I used the 'Glass - Solid - Clear' shader, changed the 'Transmitted Color' to Red=90, Green=84 and Blue=129 (these values were found opening the texture file in Affinity Photo, using it's color picker tool) and setting the 'Transmitted Measurement Distance' to 0.3 (if you want a darker glass, you'll have to lower that value, a clearer one, rising it).
Wow, the Vacuum does look good all prettied up for Iray. I always loved changing up shaders anyways.
I think the poses will be quite useful, since I have https://www.daz3d.com/bone-minion-for-genesis-2-poses-for-genesis-3 & https://www.daz3d.com/bone-minion-for-genesis-2-poses-for-genesis-8-and-81 so I can use them with the figures I usually use, as well as the fantasy G2 characters I have been picking up lately. Highly recommend the Bone Minion scripts series.
Wait, what??
Well heck, I learn a new skill every time I come on here! Thank you!!

No new freebies this week?
There's this: https://www.daz3d.com/xi-new-york-stairs
Not posted yet. No idea why. Maybe just delayed?
It's a Daz+ freebie.
Sadly, no new freebies this week. I made a message in the reporting thread, but I don't know if it was taken into account or not.
Aren't they all?
And this one was released 2024-07-23, i.e. 3 days ago, so none seem to be missing.
The ones we're speaking about are free for any member and are found on this page:
https://www.daz3d.com/free-3d-models
Yesterday, they were 12 freebies alongside the 4 for Genesis 9 and today we should have get a new batch of 12 freebies but they are not visible right now. Hopefully, it's a bug and it'll be fixed: even if most of them are quite old, they are regularly ones that are really nice to have
Oh, these. I got the current 4 for free about 9 months ago, though I don't recall how. Maybe they recycle them regularly?
They don't update weekly, even though the banner that used to be there claimed they do. Every 2 to 3 weeks seems to be the schedule.
They removed most of the old ones, but did not replace them with a new batch. The four still there have been free for months at a row now.
Banner still says "FREE items added weekly" but it's been every 2 weeks on Friday for the last few (several?) months.
Yeah, I got them when I started at the end of October. Not sure how long they were on offer before that. I've yet to actually use any of them (they don't fit with my people) but it's nice that they consistently offer a free set to get folk started playing around.
Right after Daz midnight/store changeover, some reported in the Sales Issues thread that only the 4 perennial G9 items were on the Bi-weekly-ish freebie page. So far no mod has replied to it. (In fairness they have been busy with that $1 Gift problem in today's Christmas in July Sale.) I am going to reflag it for them.
However, with the main sales page sorted Low to High (un-checking Hide Items I Own if necessary), I saw some new freebies.
They just posted the freebies
The freebies we have waited all day for, made it to their page! They are usable for July & Aug. 2024 Freebie Contest. We got so lucky! Nothing older than Genesis 1 (mostly G2) & they are all pretty good to great. It's also Christmas in July for Freebie Fans!
My takes: I've always skipped buying Reyna Hair because I never looked past the main promo. But today I went to the product page and looked at all of them - Reyna Hair is not just for demonic gals! So I grabbed it and can't wait to try it out. Omri Hair G2F, on the other hand, I've had for a while & love it. Omri is a classic short Afro. Works on the guys and other generations as well, although there is a G2M version in the store. Also several nice looking clothing sets and 3 new to me characters.
G9: The Perennial Foursome :)
G3: FW Raymond HD for M7; Reyna Hair G3F; Moto Racer Outfit G3M
G2: FWSI Marie HD for Monique 6 (includes earrings!); Ruffle Teddy HD; DM's Sensual Aiko 6 poses; Colin for G2M; Affection Poses; G3 Male for G2M (autofit clone); Omri Hair G2F; Tooth & Bone Savage Accessories (primitive weapons & jewelry)
G1: Japanese School Uniform (dress; shoes & socks aren't separate pieces, judging from the clay renders)
