Universal Anime Head

[Ken1171]

Actually it's not that different. The principle and the reason why we do it is the same. If you conform hair made for another figure, you won't be able to move it from the wrong position. Whenever I want to use hair from a different figure, I just parent it to the head, and from that on it behaves like a prop. It can be moved, scaled and rotated if just parented. In most cases that dispenses the need for any conversion tool.

So I got the Universal Anime head a few weeks ago. And as I was going through the instructions on how to use it, my first thought was, 'Pft! using Dawn is too easy.' So I did this instead:



and then life happened, got distracted and didn't get back to it. So it's just a real quick test

render, but it's a good example of combining any figure.

Oh! It's the HiveWire Big Cat if you couldn't tell. And the hair is from the Bast outfit by Littlefox, although I'm a little disappointed on the material options for the beads. I guess I've never actually used the hair part of the outfit before, because the beads on the rest of the outfit are much better.

Haha GG, that's the first thing I did too!
(I think its floating around in my media gallery somewhere)

It looks good with the bast hair

@Gadget Girl YESSS, that's another good example and proof that we can attach anything to anything using that method. The promo renders show the UAH attached to several different figures in both Poser and DS, so the process is also universal. ^__^

Nice going GG. Now I'm thinking, how would it look on a Sphinx?

 

[quietrob]

Miss B, you beat me to it. Anime Sphinx! Well alright!

I have also tried Anime Posette ==> -Motoko Kusanagi Fanart-

 

[Miss B]

Hmmmm, wonder how it would look on other Poser characters, like say . . . Pauline.

 

[Ken1171]

I am curious too. Give it a try!

 

[Miss B]

I would, but I don't have your Anime Head. As much as I like it, I don't do much in the way of anime renders, so haven't grabbed it.

 

[Ken1171]

You can use any head you have - the method is the same. ^^

 

[Miss B]

Hmmm, true. Maybe I will try it some day, if for no other reason than to satisfy my curiosity.

I need to read back through this thread again, to find the instructions, I didn't bookmark them the first time through.

 

[Ken1171]

Of course, I explain these things in much more detail in the PDF tutorial, but the whole process is much simpler than it seems.

 

[GhengisFarb]

So are there more head projects in the works?

 

[Ken1171]

Yes, I have the Universal Chibi Head, which is the chibi style variant. It's compatible with the skin tones from the UAH, and expands the range of expressions, including some that are particular to the chibi style in particular. This project has improved over the experience learned from the UAH, so the eyes rigging is simpler and more efficient.

When will this be in the store?

When will this be in the store?

Good question! The head itself has been completed for the Poser version back in 2015, and since then I have been trying to make a DS version, getting stuck at several parts due to lack of documentation and the never-ending incompatibilities. I am about to give up on the DS version, since it's obviously getting in the way of progress.

I use Poser more than Daz..I only use Daz when I have to. I look forward to this product when it does go for sale!
