MIXATROT!
This is a killer! You spoofed something that is so ridiculous that I would've thought it unspoofable, like our current "reality." And the fit on those fishnets!
#4News I think (likely on Victoria 7 alone). Items used are listed in my gallery: The night is ours
#AnythingGoes
Gallery Link
The Crusher Armour has been obviously "inspired" by the armour of Warhammer 40000 Space Marines (although here I've enhanced it with the iconic backpack that was the main detail missing from it), and I've often thought that while Predatron's Troglodyte would be very usable as a WH40K Ork (admittedly, it's pretty old as a model and it's short a finger, but that's not too bad).
So I figured I'd have fun with that.
#4New (kind of)
Gallery Link
(I think I have however used the inflatables product before, albeit not quite as intended. Another part of the set ended up modified to be that kind of transparent inflatable furniture that was for some reason popular in the 90s)
#AnythingGoes
Central Business District is apparently an old enough buy for me that I can't post it in the "Recent Sales" render thread (I apparently picked it up in April), but as I haven't used it yet, this thread is valid instead.

(Yes, I am still dressing centaurs in silly outfits).

More untested things and some unused things, going as far back as a couple of years ago ...

Keeping the world at bay, one note at a time:
It should pass the #Anythinggoes challenge, but it was done for the Freebie Challenge July-August 2024 - "Take a Break" contest, so not really done to with rendering my buys in mind
All freebies and paid products are listed with link in this message (Daz Store products are visible, as usual, on the gallery).
One warning: should you use 'Brandy Character Morph for Genesis 9', dialing in her proportion slider will disable Genesis 9 Joint Base Correctives (it also disable other elements set at 100% by default like Mouth Sticky Power and Eye Look Automatic).
I don't know why the PA set it like that, but I dialed Joint Base Correctives back to its default value. Eye Look Automatic too, but she has her eyes closed. I only saw the Mouth Sticky Power slider after posting the picture (I don't know what Mouth Sticky Power is supposed to do
).

I like the gray slightly foggy look in that piece.
I got LoRez Horse 2 a while back, and love it. On sale today if anyone wants to try it.
Yes, I totally suggest checking out the horse and wagons. They are at great discount prices right now:

#AnythingGoes
A different thread reminded me that I'd bought Sweet Romance in the Valentine's sales and then completely forgotten about it. So this is me fixing that:
Gallery Link
Oh, I had so many ideas when I got the Coral 8.1 Mega Bundle back in 2022. But then I didn't do anything with it. That leeway needs to be made up... before I get to the other three merfolks I bought since then
#AnythingGoes
Interrupted Boat Ride
We all know the annoyance when a romantic boat ride is interrupted by a mermaid, right?
Darn it, acb, that's just an AMAZING piece of work! Gorgeously captured!
Thank you, SapphireBlue!
Only the best for my favourite semi-active thread 
(Although Matt_Castle and paulawp (marahzen) did a great job in the meantime!)
It looks gorgeous.
How did you get the effect with the water plan ? From what I remember when I try a bit, the camera is either outside the water or inside it but I don't remember getting it just right like you did.
Thank you, Elor!
I just made two renders: one above the water line and one below and merged them together with GIMP.
In one shot would not be feasible simply because of DOF, even if you get the exact height and angle. It would be just a blur.
Thank you for the explanation
I also have a new render, done to show how an outfit looked on Genesis 8 after a manual conversion. More informations on the subject and all items from Daz are on my gallery, in 'Pommeling' autofit away. And it's for #DoAFastRenderToShowSomethingForSomeoneAndSpendAnHourTweakingSmallDetailsAnyway.
I think the character and the hairs are the first time I used them, same for the pose and the sword (bought elsewhere) and the expression, so I guess the #4New challenge works too
That is one great conversion there.
It's too bad no one found a way to do the same almost flawless conversion from and to Genesis 9, but the day I found the tutorial by Sickleyied, I felt like someone shared some secret knowledge (and it's especially nice when that knowledge is shared freely by someone that have the skills to monetize it).
Another renders for this challenge, but there is barely enough products to qualifty to any of the subchallenge, so I'm rendering my buys from previous months (the witch outfit from last July and the wizard island from I don't remember when) in 'A witch and her broom':
All products from this store I used are linked in the gallery and I'm using an upgraded version of the broom: there is no upgrade on the modeling front because I simply lack the skill to even do what was done by the original artist (Florel' who shared the broom on Sketchfab under a CC attribution licence) but I changed the things here and there and tried to convert the material for FilaToon (so, I clicked on the various shaders provided by Daz with Daz 4.23).
If someone's want to compared the broom in Iray and in FilaToon, I used it a couple of months ago in 'On her way to a town with an ocean view'.
Really nice use of filatoon shaders, Elor!
I missed your answer, but thank you
I'm kind of late to post this render too, I rendered it in August but waited, thinking I could add something with the CC Angelic thingies, but while I got it, I never use it on this render and I let it sitting unused. But as explained in the gallery, I had an idea for what's happening next, so I modified a couple of details to get a better continuity between this one and the next (I hope I didn't miss anything too obvious after taking the time to get the same material presets applied everywhere…)
And I think this render it's the first time I used the following four items, achieving the #4New challenge
All other items are in the gallery, with a small very cliché story about the fight between Justice and Non Justice... Did the later prevail, is it the End of Justice?
Impressive render, @Elor.
Really good background separation without loosing too much details of that background. I needed a moment to get that it's a sword and it's broken, though.
#4New (I think)
The Chosen One
Thank you
For the sword, it's a part I tried to improve when I modified the render two days ago: the blue spheres escaping the sword were already there, as a way to try to direct people's gaze on the broken sword and I added a couple of point lights over the fragments on the ground to make them more visible. Ideally, I wanted a halo around them and the broken part of the sword (a halo possibly showing the original shape of the sword), but I didn't know how to add the halo in the first place
Edit: before I forgot, I like your render, the designated Mr Bobble has the perfect body langage and the light perfectly show him as the center of everybody's gaze.
Thank you
As I experienced it, it's more the problem to recognize the broken blade part on the ground. I could imagine that putting a slope or a step or something in front of the angel so that the blade is tilted a little towards the camera might work. Swords are otherwise hard to identify from such a flat angle
