For reference, I've been using Daz Studio for years and have written some scripts and add-ons for it.

That said:

Has anyone found any good third party utilities for use with Daz Studio? Every now and then I rummage through github for things, but not everything is there. I'm wondering what gems I've been missing that would make life easier or more interesting when working with Daz.

Has anyone noticed the strange github repos for Daz? The ones that promise a"digital atelier where imagination meets automation" or one that work by "integrating advanced neural synthesis with the Daz 3D ecosystem". Then the code section contains a 70 line yaml file. I swear the 'promo' Readme is longest thing. Any idea what's going on here?

A few things I already use, in case anyone's curious:

• siblount/PMForDAZ: For easily installing all that sweet Renderosity, Renderhub, and Patron content easily. It hasn't been updated for years but still runs. Anyone found a better one?
• bluemoonfoundry/daz-script-server: An active developer with a few good Daz projects. This one basically lets you run complex scripts using an api. Why? I use it with my StreamDeck/Bitfocus Companion. He's also working on an mcp/llm setup and better content browser.
• ibrahim-humadi/Daz-Misc-Scripts: another out of date repo. Some of the scripts require changes but they have some good ideas.
• Diffeomorphic: Really trying to see if I can make the switch to a Daz/Blender workflow, particularly with the subscription model Daz 6 is pushing.
• My repo for using an Elgato Stream deck is outdated and I don't have the bandwidth to work on it, particularly since switching to Linux I've switched to Bitfocus Companion.

Any thoughts and what third party products are you guys using?

Edit/update: Pausing while I go through my messages

Thanks, everyone!

*tl;dr*: Looking for a player to join an existing Abomination Vaults adventure path.  Prefer for a martial or healer.  We play most weeks on Friday evening at 7pm (EST/GMT-5). Sessions last 4-5 hours.

The long version:

Near the sleepy lumber town of Otari a party of adventurers have lost one of their number to the Fates - namely a change in work schedule.

We are looking for one person to return the party to full strength. If you are part of a duo, we can definitely consider increasing the party size to five.  We are in need of either a martial/tanky character, or a healer.  In the second case, our existing healer will switch to martial.  The characters are currently 4th level, but will be increasing to fifth shortly. 

Prior PF2e (or TTRPG) experience is not required, but would be helpful.  All rules and resources are available online for free.   We play with the Free Archtype optional rules. The game is run through Foundry VTT and Discord.

The group is friendly and diverse. We generally aim for a PG-13/R maturity level.  Expect occasionally graphic combat, risqué humor, and evil villains who are actually evil.  

For those unfamiliar, Abomination Vaults is a massive dungeon crawl with a detailed backstory.  As such, expect lots of combat, traps, exploration and loot.  While roleplaying and social encounters are available, they are not the focus of the story.  Based on the past several sessions, I expect the game to run into late 2026.  Anyone interested in the module should look at the free Abomination Vaults Players Guide from Paizo as it is a spoiler free introduction.

Speaking of Spoilers, if you have played or are familiar with the adventure path beyond the first few levels, I would ask that you let me know up front.  It's not a disqualifier, but I like to know when things aren't a surprise to the players.

Reach me by DM and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.
