Chibi Morphs?

Moogee

Does anyone know of a chibi morph for the G8 figures? I know there is one with G9 but can't find one for G8. I have the chibi figures which were made for the original Genesis figure and was wondering if there is a way of turning them into morphs and then applying them to G8.

 

Many thanks

Maybe Bugga Boo?

Hello Taoz,

Thank you for the link. Bugga-Boo is now in my wishlist. I took a stroll over to Rendo and found the Universal Anime Head and the Universal Chibi Head both of which work with all the Genesis figures. It looks like it might be a bit fiddlely but once done can be saved as a character file. Theres a detailed pdf with each on how to use the heads on a vast array of figures. They don't work on G9 but as that one has Anime Heros (which I have) and its own chibi morph thats no biggy. 

I remember a long time ago when I used poser it was possible to to "flatten" the Y axis (I think) which created a "2 dimensional" cell shaded character as seen in tradtional anime. I tried doing it in Studio and it mashed up the mesh. I might have been using the wrong axis. Do you know if it is possible to create this effect in Studio?

Many thanks

Good "Chibi"/SD is hard very hard to pull off. I think that's probably why it's attempted so seldomly, so you don't see much in the way of products like that.

I remember Genesis 1 had a set of Chibi morphs but they did not work well with other morphs, which really hampered it's usefulness.

Dolly for Genesis 8 Female might be of interest. And perhaps some of the head shapes of D.Master's other toon characters.

Also looks like if you have a toon character you like but it isnt chibi, some of the morphs in this set https://www.daz3d.com/phenotypes-shape-and-pose-bundle-for-genesis-8 could be used to chibify it. I havnt used it myself (although its sitting in my wishlist for other reasons), so have no idea how good it is at that
