I was pleased to find another H.P. Lovecraft for Poser, albeit as a morph for the older character of Michael 3. It’s OK-ish, but without the required morphs it’s not as accurate as the dedicated character from Meshbox. I discovered that there are quite a few packs of “famous faces” made for M3 and still floating around, as I had a quick look around and a runtime search for superhero freebies for M4 \/ Freak 4. I dug up a David Tennant (Doctor Who<\/a><\/em>) and an Edgar Allan Poe, both for M3, for instance. <\/p>\n

Such faces are mostly for M3 and require the Head morphs from the ‘Michael 3.0 Head & Body Morphs’ pack [update: no longer sold<\/em>]…<\/p>\n

1. Load M3 base character from Figures | Daz People <\/p>\n

2. Then go to Pose | !M3 All Morphs INJ | ! All Head Morphs.<\/p>\n

3. Then select the Head of M3, and load your character head.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Many such also benefit from the Brom morphs.<\/p>\n

It’s not the “David Tennant for M4, that looks nothing like him”. It’s another one, tucked away in an old multi-pack of superhero morphs for M3. The problem with a David Tennant as Doctor Who is, of course, finding the Fabulous Hair of Cosmic Awesomeness that will also look good in Poser’s Comic Book mode. The hair is so Awesome it has whole blogs devoted to it<\/a>, and deservedly so. <\/p>\n

Fancy trans-mapped hair is no good for Poser’s Comic Book preview renderer. Though Maraboo Hair<\/a> looks like a useful starter, if you wanted to render in full 3D. The popular Reivel Hair<\/a> was also a possibility. <\/p>\n

In the end, the M3 hair seen above was down to a surprising combination of the ancient Ben hair and the almost-as-ancient M3 Star Trek<\/em> hair for McCoy. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Ben hair can be easily detached in pieces and re-positioned over the McCoy base, and as long as you don’t delete the base scalp (hide it in the body) the Ben hair doesn’t revert to bare guide hairs.<\/p>\n

The David Tennant Poser-portrait above is just an alpha version, and I haven’t even checked it against reference photos yet. But it’s already somewhat recognizable. The M3 coat has a strange forward bump, as if it’s expecting V4 to drop in at any moment, but it’ll do for now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
