Blank Boi to storybook Space Boy:
Requires:
Blank Boi base figure.
BlankDolly.
Elf Basics.
Blank Boi Nose freebie prop.
Blank Boi in Space freebie clothing set.
1. Load the Blank Boi base figure in Poser. To be found installed in Poser (totally counter-intiuitively) under Figures ..\3DZToonz\BlankBoi\BlankBoi.cr2
2. Load Elf Basics hood and clothing to head and body. Found under Figures ..\Elf Basics. Conform if needed.
3. Load Pose ..\BlankDolly\ Normal Shader | Dolly body gets you the eyes seen here.
4. Props | Blank Boi Features | Nose. Load to head.
5. Adjust DollyEars morphs on ears (from BlankDolly) for pointiness. Set ears slightly off-centre for added quirkiness. A little postwork clean-up will be needed re: the conjunction of the ears and the hood, when seen at at certain angles.
6. Hide (make ‘not visible’) the end of the elf boots. This makes him less obviously a generic fantasy figure. Set the “Feet swap” morph to “2” for the new ‘toon feet’ seen added below.
7. Props ..\Blank Boi In Space | BB Space Pack for an oxygen backpack. If the .OBJ is lost on loading, it’s to be found in ..\Runtime\Geometries\treasurechest\bboiclothes
8. Apply Aiko 3 poses. V3 also, but those poses will tend to reposition the figure somewhere else on the stage.
9. Change the material diffuse colours to a more space-y colour scheme.
10. Render in flat colour and lineart, and combine these two renders in Photoshop…
Not ideal. The ears are sometimes seen inside the hood. The neck-joint needs more of a spacesuit-like air-seal. The feet are ok, but not great. There are probably better figures with which to make a whimsical space-adventure storybook, but the Boi is fairly cute and it could be done. The lack of a mouth is a great advantage, since you wouldn’t have to be constantly tugging at that to get it to look right, or manually drawing it in.
