Sorry, the requested product is currently not available due to the unexpectedly high demand.
I bet this would sell out.
No links at the moment (on mobile) but DimensionTheory's crystal pack is soooooo good for background lighting makes all the colors pop a little. And Riversofts Look at Me I use for every render. Love how I can accurately get the eyes focused as opposed to trying to do it manually and one eye always looking off. Thanks for everyone else's recommendations adding lots to my wishlist!

Is this the one @sunnyjei ?
I love DTs work, have quite a few packs already.
Thanks @Paintbox that was the one :D I think I need to add more of DT's stuff to my library as well.
Unfortunately, removed from the store, J.Cade's Painter's Lights. Although I buy lighting sets like crazy, I seem to return to this set every day.
I rely on the so many of the products that we never think of in our day-to-day use of Daz Sudio.
I am fixated on one pose set right now though, https://www.daz3d.com/advanced-seated-poses-for-genesis-8-female by Those Things. And for shaders, https://www.daz3d.com/unique-fabrics-shaders-and-merchant-resource by ARTCollaborations. The tutorial she put together was worth the price of the shader set alone and gave me insight to many I had filed away as 'what the heck?'
Utilities, RiversoftArts, and when combined with SickleYield and Esha, the products they come up with are fantastic timesavers and are expanding the older products into the newer generations.
Anything by Zev0, EmmaAndJordi, SF-Design to name just three fast who make those little tweaks possible.
Environment creators - I have too many favorites to list and do not want to neglect any. And my interests range from contemporary, fantasy, Sci-Fi, military, limited horror, historical and landscapes, I seem to buy a lot of them.
Props, love them. Again so many, but as everyone knows anything by maclean will find a way into a render at least once a week. He listens to what folks ask for on the forums and updates his old sets for Iray. Love that.
Divamakeup's Altern 8 is there too.
Not enough room, nor time. Just look at the list of PAs past and present and you might see one of the PAs I have that I found a gem to use from. And sometimes, the older the better.

UtraScenery -Love it and it is very versatile for different scenes.
Unique Fabrics Shaders -Awesome shader set, endless options and settings to make different looks. Documentation is top notch and ArtCollab also did some very informative videos for using the product.
Advanced Seated Poses -Very detailed on positions of body parts. My go to for a seated pose, most require minimal adjustment for different figures/seating situations.
Boss Pro Light Set -I have many lighting sets from various vendors and they are all great but this one is my favorite, I always end up coming back to it.
Mesh Grabber- The most awesome tool ever! I use it in every render for some reason or another.
I know you said top favorite product but its hard to say only one top favorite because all are my favorites that I use all the time. Each has thier strengths for what they do and thats what makes them favorites. I have lots of other tools and items that I love and use frequently.
Yeah, I have to add Power Pose to my list. I don't remember if it was built into DS or an Add-on or a product or what, but, to move that hand, foot, finger it is so wonderful.
Well let's just add the upgrades to DS since 4.9 even if I had to buy a Win10 computer to use all the features, like dForce cloth and hair, and others.
Right now? Hazmat suits!
Little over an hour. It all fit on my aging 980ti 6gb believe it or not ;)
A week does not go by that I do not do something with Wind Warrior outfit and it's texture pack.
lots of new products in my wishlist now
posts with all of this or alll of that do not help here

I nearly forgot about this https://www.daz3d.com/n-g-s-anagenessis-2-revolution, as it's a rare scene that it isn't involved in.
Daz Studio.
Wow, anagenessis looks awesome!
How come I didn't see anyone else mention it until now?
Also, is there a G8 version out there?
To add to my previous post, ARK Modern Food Pack is just the sort of thing I'm always looking out for to make detailed domestic scenes. In fact anything that keeps it real... but that's just my rendering preference.
I think I have one or two of the foodpacks @fred9803
Anagenessis looks great indeed @alex86fire
I've just bought UltrascatterPro and I'm wondering why on earth I waited this long. It is positively amazing what can be done with it. Well, once I figured out how to stop it crashing the video driver. Most important to RTFM.
One more tool I want to mention that is great for fitting tops on women characters expecially is https://www.daz3d.com/fit-control-for-genesis-8-female-s eventually with the add-on https://www.daz3d.com/fit-control-add-on-for-genesis-3--8-female.
This is just the latest of what it did for my render.
Or does it work for G8 automatically because G3/G8 mapping is the same?
Didn't know it even had an add-on @alex86fire ... good to know!
@lorraineopua , what do you use ultrascatter for?
I'm using it to plant trees all over them thar hills, no more bare mountains. They've been one of the biggest bugbears I've had over the years of using DS, and in a few seconds Ultrascatter plants those hills with forests.
No but it works fine with G8. I use G8 exclusively.
If i want an earlier generation in my scene, it gets converted.
All G3, and many G2, G1 and V4 textures have been converted. I don't often convert morphs, but settle for a likeness. Ive no idea how many earlier generations I still have to convert though!
This is the most recent I've done; Ksenia had been in my wishlist for years(?); another cute Thorne character.
NGS Genesis 2 and Oso Bob hair on the characters; Ksenia is shaded more like the second than the first, but I never really want any looking the same; an approximation at best is what I might look for.

All around product I use all the time: Mesh Grabber. Solves tons of problems with missing morphs, dForce, poke-through, hair, interacting surfaces, you name it.
My favourite products that I use in every render is:
The skin from https://www.daz3d.com/albany-hd-for-genesis-8-female, I only use my Genesis 3 and 8 Lara characters but I always use Albanys skin, I love it so much, I have bought lost of more of Mousso's characters hoping to find one that I love as much but no one comes close to Albanys for me. All Mousso's characters looks great but it's something special about Albany
.
The skin settings : shine, sss, translucency from: https://www.daz3d.com/altern8--skin-shader-system-for-genesis-8.
Shaders: https://www.daz3d.com/fabric-basics-mix-and-match-for-iray, OOT IrayPair Hair Shaders for DAZ Studio Iray (from Renderosity) .
Lights: Fabianas HDRI lights and props, especially the tiny meshlights from AlterGlow 2 - Iray Lighting System: they loads as a wearables parented to the head and placed near the face if you select the head when loading it, very usable for giving light/fill light and eye reflection. They also renders 100% invisible.
The ones I use very often:Fredel's Tomb Raider freebie outfits and guns at Renderosity. The default Daz Studio HDRI is still one of my fav HDRIs, I use mostly HDRI lights and I struggle to get the lights right but if everything else fails my Lara usually looks ok in the default HDRI.
Couldn't agree more! I just hunted all over the store looking for these again, so I can recommend them to folks... Sad they're no longer there to be purchased. Looks like all of j.cade's stuff is gone...
Here's the documentation page for them (fwiw): http://docs.daz3d.com/doku.php/public/read_me/index/22135/start
And a couple renders I've done using them:
I keep buying lights as well...but there's just something about this set... :)
I have two: Mesh Grabber and Ultra Scenery :)
