Furries Melody/Micah characters – how to load the head shapes

Here’s a quickstart / aid-to-memory on how to load a Poser Furries Melody/Micah character with one of the creature face morphs. These are older characters, but look great and work well with the new Poser 11 comic-book effect…

Note that these figures have dependencies. Melody and Micah need Melody for A3 which requires the base character Aiko 3, and Micah for Hiro 3 which requires the base character Hiro 3. Phew!

Melody for A3 and Micah for Hiro 3 are available together in a bundle.

Quickstart:

1) Make sure you have Library | Figures | DAZ Aiko 3 and DAZ Hiro 3. Having these required base figures will enable you to successfully load the Melody or Micah base figure. Then load Melody or Micah: e.g. Library | Figures | MelodyFBM

2) Go: Library | Poses | CDI folder | Furries. Apply !INJ Furries Micah. If this !INJ injection is not applied, the head shapes have nothing to fix onto. Yes, it’s counter-intuitive. Surely MelodyFBM has the morphs already? But no, not for the head.

3) Now you can load the huge range of awesome Hollywood-level Head presets from Content | CDI folder | Furries | Faces

The Base Figures are in:

Runtime\Libraries\Character\Melody\
Runtime\Libraries\Character\Micah\

The Faces are in:

\Runtime\Libraries\Pose\CDI\Furries\

Skins and furs are in:

Runtime\Libraries\Pose\Melody\

Sassafras also made some excellent poses, found in ..\Pose\CDI\Furries\

Save your scene file, to serve as a future quickstart.

You may also want to save a preset pose so that the lower legs and feet are a bit more animal-like and not flat-footed.

Clothing:

CrossDresser 4.0 has Aiko 3 and Hiro 3 licenses for CrossDresser, which I’d imagine would enable clothing conversion since Melody and Micah are built on these figures. All the old Aiko 3 and Hiro 3 clothing should theoretically also work, but you may need to add these at the start rather than the end of the build-and-pose process, when the characters are still in a t-pose.
