Digging around in PZDB for aliens and monsters I stumbled on JoeQuick’s ‘The Thing’ morph and materials for Freak 4. Still available, free as ‘Rock Man for F4<\/a>‘. Though in my runtime it shows as…<\/p>\n

Readers will recall I had tried to recreate the famous Fantastic Four comic-book character ‘The Thing’ in DAZ Studio, and had only got so far<\/a> and it was not very satisfactory.<\/p>\n

But in Poser and the Comic Book mode… it’s looking better. The skin is still far from ideal, and probably needs geometry made rather than a photoreal texture. A bodysuit with a geometry ‘crust’ might do it. There are also the ‘short shirtsleeves’ visible in Preview, but not in a render.

This does not give the three squarish fingers + thumb, but is better than a normal hand. The toes are more difficult and the alien two-toes Creature Creator morph doesn’t do it.

So, that’s as good as it gets at present. Poser, Freak 4 and JoeQuick’s morphs. Plenty of superhero poses for Freak 4, too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
