First of all, thank you all very much for participating. We got over 40 comments, so we are very happy with the response.
Many of Fred Winkler Art’s products were cited as favorites, so as many have expressed, it is difficult to pick a favorite or even a small number of favorites because Fred is such a super-star! π
When it comes to 3D models the most often created are naturally at both ends of the appearance spectrum β beauties and monsters. And FWSA does both ends very well, , for example, Gillian HD for Victoria made very nice beauty renders, and the Incubus expansion for Sebastian HD made a good devil.

From going over the comments, I would say that FW Alfred and his Finery and the Mermaid sets were probably most frequently mentioned.
In terms of future items, there were some common trends, including-
- More bundles that include character, hair, and clothing.
- More themed and fantasy characters, or characters of different ethnicities (including special skins and makeups).
- More stylized/anime-ish characters perhaps for Aiko base.
- More male characters, especially themed characters/counterparts and bundles.
In the future, I would like to see more makeup options for individual characters that are geared toward different looks as opposed to variations in color. This helps a character get more re-use, which adds value.

December 2015 Daz GC Giveaway
There have been some great new releases on Daz3D recently, including some fun sales. My two recent favorites have got to be the NeoIndia Outfit and Hair Bundle and Wolf 2.0 by AM. In addition, Thanksgiving is just around the corner and Christmas is coming up so it seems like a great time to have a Daz gift certificate raffle! π
My Example Entry
My favorite products are Laguna-FWSA Indigo and Jade Mermaid Fantasy Bundle and FWSA Gillian HD. I love the two mermaid girls, and the fantasy skin texture is extremely useful. In addition to mermaids, I can also use it for other female fantasy characters, devils, imps, and more. For my more realistic looking compositions, I like using Gillian. She is beautiful, sexy, and looks great in a variety of outfits and hairstyles.
For the future, I would love to see more anime inspired characters, especially mature males.
Thank You All for Participating!

My fav: Laguna-Mermaid Fantasy Pack for Genesis 3 Female(s)
Want to see: more male outfit, and not “handsome boys”
Janet says
I agree more male clothes would be great.
Kenda says
My favorite:
FWSA Gillian HD for Victoria 7
FWSA Frida HD for Karen 7
I would love to see more Charakters with Sci_Fi and Fantasy Options and with “Extreme MakeUp”.
Brother Hades says
FWSA Tressie HD for Victoria 6, and FWSA Camile HD for Bethany 7 are my favorites, I just love the overall shapeliness of the women.
I would love to see more curvaceous characters and more fantasy characters.
Drakenborg says
Its quite frankly I.M.P.O.S.S.I.B.L.E to pick a fave among FredΒ΄s & co characters, they are simply all to beautiful in their own way. I am however a bit extra fond of Livia (vampire) and Alfred. (was wonderful to get a new male hottie π )
I would love to see some unique warrior characters, with a verity of skin texture, such as scared, dirty and tribal like colorful tattoos that covers big parts of the body for both male and female! & a new cyborg for G3F & G3M
But other then that I just want them to keep up what they do π
FracturedStrat says
Love FWF Jenna, FWF Jenna Little Devil Expansion Pack and Phoebe. Love the dark and Goth characters. With such a diverse product line it’s really hard to pick just one.
More bundles would be the one thing I’d love to see.
Deb says
I love the FW Alfred and his Finery, I think the most. The character is gorgeous and the clothing flows and fits very well. As for what to see in the future, I still love Gen2 even though she is overshadowed by Gen3. As a Poser user, I love the versatility of being able to use either program and have products that I can use either Poser or DS. Bundles are good, character, clothing and hair would be awesome or for something different, character, clothing and backgrounds that fit the theme π
Todd Kogutt says
My favorite in the FWA catalog I think is the FW Courtney…somewhat a sentimental favorite as she was a prize for a contest I won :). She just fits well into any different genre I may need her in.
What I’d like to see in future is a more general continue support of the Genesis 2 platform. I have far too much investment in characters in the v4->g2 compatibility chain to move to a completely new uv system.
Shozai says
I really love Gillian by FredWinklerArt. She can turn in anything i want and she always looking perfect. The harmonie of all textures and morphs is a dream. Elisse is one of my favorites too. She is, for me, a perfect elven girl with charm and a lovely Head/Bodymorph.
In the future i would like to see charakters with more fantasy options and skins/ makeup. π
Zoraida Diaz says
I absolutely love Octavia HD by Fred Winkler and Sabby. She is beautiful and versatile. I love the fact that she can be a teen and an older character as well. I also love -paloma-keyhole-style-bundle. The outfit is great. I love the textures and the idea of having all three products in one. Bundles mean savings and for me that is important. I don’t have to use the outfit just with the character it was made for but for any of my characters. Superb products offered by a superb company. I would love to see more bundles like the one mentioned above especially for the male characters.
ThatGuy says
My favorite products from DAZ vendor FWSA are FWSA Paloma HD for Victoria 7 and FW Oliver HD Megapack. These are 2 of my “go to” characters of late. The skin texture and body/face morphs and overall all look are just exceptionally well done in my opinion. I love that Oliver comes with his own “hair”. This is the kind of hairstyle that I like in males….no fuss styling π
I would love to see more characters with their own hair style in the future.
