M3 Gladiator by RT Productions: The team of RT Productions announced their upcoming release of the Mike3 Gladiator outfit - in renapd's words, "one multi materials costume, 3 variations.. for variety in your arena!" Offered are three versions, the Caesars Best, the Fallen Roman General, and the Barbarian Slave.

Vaugn by Cin - Designs: Cin posted a sneekpeek of Vaugn, which was submitted to DAZ, and may be making available at PoserPros. Of note, the overall beautifully soft texturing as well as the Kanji tattoo art makes Vaugn a pleasing addition to anyones M3 collection.

Fantasy Armor by Xurge: We can always expect something different from Xurge, so in the finest tradition of fantasy clothing, he is creating this stunning Warrior/Rogue outfit which will feature 3 different looks: The Royal, the Commoner and the Bandit.

Muscle Morphs by DraX: Although M3 morphs are still being refined, the Muscle Morphs From DraX showcase the versatility of the new M3 Mesh, from its ability to carry musculature morphs to its ability to have long awaited features such as square-jawed facial shaping, awesome brow morphs complete with creases and furrows - not to mention a great chin dimple!

M3 Rogue Archer by Gorodin: As a companion for the V3 Rogue Archer, Gorodin is creating the M3 counterpart. Being built on a neck-to-foot bodysuit, this creative outfit should pose beautifully, but still show off Michael 3's great physique. UPDATE - This M3 Rogue Archers pack includes bonus textures and material poses for the Riding Boots and Buccaneer Boots from the M3 Boot Bonanza, more textures and material poses for Michael 3, as well as accessories.

M3 ProjectZ by Sturkwurk, Gorodin & the3dwizard: Did somebody say "Sci-Fi"? Well this should set your heart thumping! It is ProjectZ for M3 and according to the3Dwizard, "it will have new pads, boots, guns and hair. Most of the other props in the ProjectZ for V3 will be modified to fit M3. The pads, belts, holsters, and pouches will also have morphs to fit a lot of the M3 morphs. New boots have material zones that I think make the boots look good for either sci-fi or magna."

M3 Boot Bonanza by ElorOnceDark: Every hero needs boots, so how about a set of SIX! Here is a great pack of 6 styles that will include Morphs for M3 and MATs for easy texturing. UPDATE! - Neo10 has finished the STOMP texture set for the M3 Boot Bonanza, and posted a sneekpeek HERE.

M3 Texture&Morphs by Neo10 and Guarie: Guarie has done some very nice work for male figures and clothing. Now partnered with Neo10 they are working on textures and character morphs for M3. We are looking forward to seeing more from this talented team. Click on the image and check out this early WIP.

M3 JeanZ by the3dwizard: So that M3 will have a classic pair of pants, the master of JeanZ is creating a version for Michael 3 which he has generously offered as a FREE upgrade to all owners of his great JeanZ for M2. It will have moprhs to fit the standard M3, and three other muscle morphs (tone, muscular1, & muscular2) Also in the works, but probably not available at the same time as the M3 release, will be an M3 version of his great TreadZ boots - we can hardly wait.

Genesis Rage Outfit by Xena: A Sci-Fi themed Genesis Rage Outfit - looks like another winner from one of our favorite artists. UPDATE - Xena also has a full Sci-Fi Outfit which you can preview HERE.

Romeo by Deecey: Right out of the starting gate, M3 will have a great set of period clothing - This is the "Romeo" outfit, and I understand that Juliette will follow soon. UPDATE - New images have been Posted HERE.

Greek Hoplite by M&M Productions: We all know John Malis for his wonderful historical creations. Now for M3 he and Lourdes, as M&M Productions, are creating a complete Greek Hoplite (armored warrior). According to John, the "pack will span a period from the Archaic to the Hellenistic with varieties in armor, helmets, etc. all hi-detail meshes and textures recreated from museum pieces" UPDATE - the "muscle" breastplate is now also ready. There's a fully conformed separate tunic underneath it. And along with the Corinthian helmet you can also see the high-crested Athenian version,, and other goodies in a new thread HERE. Great Work M&M!

Samurai Armour by Dodger: A Samurai Outfit that looks to be one of the most authentic and complete period costume sets ever offered for any Poser figure. The set has 9 conformers (shoes, leg plates, trouser legs, curass Do, sode shoulder plates, arm parts, hand parts, helmet, and a mask which is Mimic complaint. It also has two sets of swords both old fashioned and shurasaya. This is a larger set than originally planned but unfortuantely the hair, bow and arrows we reported earlier will not be part of the initial release.

We have tried to keep this list current, but we may have unintentionally overlooked some sightings. We have not pre-selected these for any particular reason and it is our goal to be fair to all, so If you know of any M3 product news that should be mentioned here, we would appreciate your contacting us via the Contact Link on the left of this page.

When a tool like Poser is put into the hands of a creative and talented artist, something magical happens. Jeremy Villasis is such an artist, and his work is nothing short of stunning.
His website is called The Blue Room and you are invited to explore his many galleries filled with imaginative Poser artwork.
Many of his works feature male figures, and he is definitely adept at rendering the male form. The Blue Room is a "must see" for anyone interested in tasteful images of the male figure.

Laevi has issued a public invitation to any Poser artists who wish to participate in a Gay Male Art Gallery. Currently the site features the work of Laevi and Frank Funkhouser (AKA FrankFunk), creator of "Theo" and "Digiman 2" which are available in the Renderosity Marketplace. Although this new site is adult oriented, it is tastefully done, and might be a place for you to showcase some of your own images.
