Anime character experiment in DS: Yoko Littner

HabitualGypsy

I thought I'd attempt to re-create an existing anime character using customized "off-the-shelf" assets in Daz Studio.And while it's certainly far from perfect, I was pretty satisfied with the (intial) results.

This is Yoko Littner from the Anime Gurren Lagann. The base is A4 with some various body morphs & tweeks. The hair & clothing are cobbled together from various sources - several of which are products made for other base figures (V3, Genesis, etc). None of the original textures (that came w/ the product) were used. All were either afrom "aftermarket" texture product or custom (from-scratch) or a combinatiuon. If anyone is interested I can probably give the rundown on everything I used & how I modded it.

But for now, enjoy...

I also did an "animation" which just spins her around so you can see the full character. And, yes, I know that when you see her from all angles she seems to be awkwardly leaning back. I didn't think it was excessive enough to warrant going back & re-rendering (even though it only took ~25min). And, of course, there are some other minor details that become obvious with the animation; but, as I said in the original post, this was sort of an experiment. I'll probably correct them eventually.

OK, since I was already documenting my process for my own benefit, I figure I might as well post it here, too, in case someone is interested enough to read it but wasn't interested enough to ask.

GLOVES
ArtemisX
Converted for V4/A4 using CrossDresser

BELT
B25 Club Dress
 Texture: clip material zone set to 0% opacity, manually created Texture Map & Displacement Map, both maps use same gfx for studs (gradient "diamonds"), Buckle is a primitive plane re-sized &relocated and textured w/ Hardcore Utility Shaders (Metal Shiny: Shiny Steel-M)

*a trick I use often w/ leather surfaces is to start w/ Leather-Black shader for the Genesis Supersuit. I then swap out the Texture Map w/ whatever one I want to use, change the Diffuse Color to White & adjust the UV Tiling as necessary
