Here’s a quick survey of the unusual and quality fantasy makeovers for the original DAZ Kids 4 (aka K4). Being the same generation, they should also be able to take your older V4/M4 poses and expressions.
The Forestals, now at Renderosity. Hair not included.
K4 Alien Force Characters (no longer sold – update, available free here) and their free spacesuit base (still available).
K4 Elf henchmen and a leader-character Yodkin.
There was also Grimlens, a more fishy looking K4 gremlin.
O Sole Mio is a steampunk urchin K4 outfit. Note that this does NOT include the full-body toon morphs, including good toony hands and feet, which are shown in the store previews. The required pack to do these body shapes was the Morphlet K4 morphs from Capsces, which appear to be no longer available.
Nordic Trolls (dress and hat only).
Kids 4: CrossDresser License for converting clothes to K4.
K4 will also take .BVH files for V4/M4, of which there are thousands free.
Will also take the V4/M4 Creature Creator morph injections, and the M4 Faces of Fantasy head morphs (Orc, Nosferatu, Villain etc).
K4’s default INJ morphs (standard and ++) appear to be confusing, in that they are apparently not like those of M4 and V4. Those give you gazillions of morphs. The K4 bundles only give you five additional ‘body shape’ morphs, but the expected lots of default and ++ head morphs load fine. However, I find that even when some body dials do load, they do absolutely nothing (e.g. foot size). I gave up on getting such useful body morphs to load, such as ‘foot size’. But thankfully, the Creature Creator and Faces of Fantasy morphs don’t appear to need the default morphs at all. Faces of Fantasy also has one very useful ‘chunky gnome’ type full-body morph, which you see in action in the picture above.
Known to work without Morphs ++:
After some error messages I had success in loading Berserker for M4 and got head-dials for Old, Monstrous Head and Ogre.
Amducias M4 (horse head) and Rana (frog head / hands feet) works. Most likely other packs from this maker will also work (see Lepus rabbit Web link, above).
G Insectoid Morph works, as does its MAT. It works so well I suspect it was designed for K4.
The M4 Forestals Head INJ works, and gets you a characterful old man face. Could be good for making a garden gnome.
Sparky’s Moulder M4 works fine, except for one bit of texture mis-fit on the front. You could probably cover this by cloning the texture, or by adding a bandage.
BAT’s The Gobblers works fine, at least for the mediocre heads. Not the bodies. Don’t stress if you can’t find it, it doesn’t look all that great.
Trekkieggrrl’s M4 Claws Injection works fine.
Certain V4 items, such as “V4 conforming fingernails” (long / sharp nails) will also prove useful for K4 kit-bashing.
I assume Character Randomizer for K4 will work on all these, though it may be assuming its dealing with a default K4 + Kids 4 Morphs++.
