Wow…it’s been a while. My health really hasn’t been the best the last couple months, so my creating hasn’t been up to par. I thought I should post today to show off my new hybrid character I created (Aiko 3/Near Me) (oh, and also because I won’t be able to post on this exact day for another 4 years, lol).
Creating a hybrid figure (also known as a pop-top) is a great thing to do if you like a certain character’s head a bunch but would like to use all the clothing you have for another figure (without using any clothing converter programs such as Wardrobe Wizard, Crossdresser, etc.). Click on the image for full view.
An excellent pop-top tutorial can be found at Ebonshire.net (here’s a direct link to the Pop-Top Tutorial). Of course, you’re welcome to try this tutorial with any character of your choice, but the tutorial was written specifically for the Anime Doll.
Here’s a list of things you’ll need for this tutorial:
- A text editor like Notepad (although it says notepad won’t work all that well with this, I used it and it worked great…go figure)
- Morph Manager if you’re a PC user or MacConverter for all the Mac users out there
- Two figures (one for the head and the other for the body)
- Poser 4 – 7
I used Near Me’s head on Aiko 3’s body. Follow the tutorial as well as you can – I had a little trouble while editing the *.cr2 for Near Me…and then figured out that none of the code on that part of the tutorial pertained to this figure, lol.
So, with my finished character, I get the looks of Near Me (and all her head morphs/expressions transferred using Morph Manager) while using Aiko’s body for all her clothes I have. If you have any questions about the tutorial or creating pop-top characters, you can email me here. Enjoy!
Welcome back Brady!!! I like the character.
Yeah, she’s cute! Nice post.
Nice, Brady!
