Cool news, thanks! There is another one here: http://adventmyfriend.com/2331362a/
PS The links for "The Ghosts of Christmas PAs" stopped working again... I can't get Jamie Hair, ugh.
Try the links in this post . . . they seem to be working fine --> http://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/14402/#399665
April has Jamie Hair on her site:
http://shop.aprilsvanity.com/free-items/jamie-hair-model-textures.html
I'll race you to the 1st new post (and most likely lose, I know you're fast.... :lol: ;-) )
I don't need to be first - I just need to get to the freebies before they're not free any more. ;-)
Oh, yes... by request, a place other than here (since the forum software sometimes breaks URLs) to track the calendars:
https://poserdazfreebies.orain.org/wiki/Limited-Time_Freebies#2014_Advent_Calendars
Thank you very much for all the current and past listings. It's always a helpful thing.

That post has forumarchive links that no longer work.
Yes that entire thread is pretty much useless until we (hopefully) get the forum archive back again.
yea cho good luck with that lmao, MERRY CHRISTMAS YA'LL!!! thank you for putting up this link I do so look forward to this each year, soon I'll have a computer that can push the graphics again :D ya'll are rock steady!
Heads up - it is the first of December in Germany - which means that the two Software links for Chip and PCWelt are live!
Newly up:
Active Rendering (German, Registration required)

Art of Poser (German, Registration required)

PoserFreaks (German, Registration required)
http://www.poser-freaks.de/adventskalender.php?sid=
The 'Art of Poser' link gives me an 'invalid or no longer valid link' warning; maybe that is because I'm not registered/logged in, though usually that gives a message saying that one needs to register....
There is a software problem with the forum software - Kalifrago will try to solve it this evening (German time) and the door of today will still be open tomorrow.
What was behind Day 1 moved me to tears :shut:
It looks like an engine error. I registered (bless Google Translator for figuring out how) and firstly, this is the link that works: http://art-of-poser.de/index.php?page=AdventCalendar and secondly, when clicking on the 1st day, it gives errors again. The English text from GT is:
No data have yet been submitted for this day!

And like last year, there's the crap with the activity points now.......
Yes, those German ones are crazy. Activity points? You have to know German well to earn those. Downloads get locked instantly. If you get to one somehow, it turns out to be a 24H and then evaporates. Only three work well: Fantasy Attic’s Merry Little Christmas 2014 (of course, they are awesome and sensible: they just move the freebies into different categories, they don't really expire), Active Rendering and FantasyZauberland.
adventmyfriend just taught me that spider man missed out on such a lot of colours lmao
Poser Freaks works very well for me as well, and I'm not German.
So what if the offers only last one day; it is an Advent-calendar, it's normal.
I'm thankful to everyone that makes items available for free, no matter if it is temporary or not.....
(and as to the German sites; they are aimed at the german speaking people, no problem there..... I had to learn English to be able to use and understand this site)
Wellllll .... I am German and ... I am crazy?
There are Germans in this forum and they are able to participate in those forums -
but maybe I should just stop posting the yearly calendar thread.
Changed the link for C4D to
http://c4dnetwork.com/board/forums/92-Advent-2014?s=f0f147b04e690d2bda0afe76a3366124
Oh dear I hope not. I am not German and I don't remember much of my two years of German in college but my dear I would be so disappointed if the German sites were not included. Why I would miss out on Menka, and Leilana and so many more wonderful artists. Google translate is my friend and what with what I still remember of Deutsch I do ok. I think all you really have to know is "Vielen Dank". And Kerya, vielen dank for your lists and your amazing persistence in keeping up those lists.
if I remember right at end of the advent or near it - Poser Freaks usually reopens the gifts to give peeps a second chance to get what they missed. My fun part is remembering my timing lol. :) I was wondering is Daz3D going to have like an advent this year?
By the way - art of poser doesn't need a registration anymore ...
yea and a very cool freebie indeed

Now they put the restriction to registered on again ... LOL
