I'm so sorry it took so long! I got wrapped up in so many things I didn't quite finish it for a long time.

As a bonus, I did get permission from Studio Maya and DAZ3D to share the .cr2 files, so all you need to do is follow Part I of the AnimeV3 tutorial and the AnimeM3 tutorial then download the .cr2 files. This saves a ton of work!

Note: the heads and necks do not line up absolutely perfectly. You'll need to either play with magnets or just put hair on them. If you follow the tutorials, though, all the body morphs from V3 or M3 will work along with the head morphs from the AnimeDoll. (And I do have extra head morphs for the AnimeDoll available on my site.)

Cheers!

These tutorials are great! I will have to try them out when I get some time.

Yeah! Thank you so much for your work Crescent!!! runs over to do the tut

Oh, this is great! Thank you Crescent! I had been using your other tutorial in a thread here and grafted the Anime Doll head on various bodies and was just planning on doing M3 too but this is even better! I've been using V3 male so far with Poserworld's clothes but now I'll have more clothing choices. Thanks again!

Wow, this is pretty cool. Don't have Anime Doll but I've been thinking about getting it. I'll definitely have to remember this when it comes time to do anime style images that don't feature an all female cast.

Cool beans, Cres! That is definitely a keeper!

Krys also has some AnimeDoll male morphs for sale - I think it's $5 - so don't let that hold you back. Cheers!

Yeah I've seen the male morphs for AD. Unfortunately that still leaves the issue of wardrobe for male anime characters. But if you can stick the head onto M3's body that solves the wardrobe problem.

Crescent, If you're reading this, thanks so much for sharing your AnimeDoll - M3 Hybrid tutorial! :D http://www.fallencity.net/tut-posa/animem3-1.php I love AnimeDoll (she's so adorable!) and she can even make a cute Anime male figure thanks Krys' male body morphs. However, clothing (and hair!) for AnimeDollDude is a problem. I think your solution of grafting AnimeDoll's head on M3's figure is great, -- it's the best of both worlds! :D But here's the sad news. I've tried and tried again to get AnimeDoll's head on M3. The Frankenstiened AnimeM3's body is distorted in the default pose, and it get really bad when posing. I've tried making a few changes here and there in creating a new animeM3.obj, but the new cr2 figure either suffers the same distortions or it crashes Poser when I try to load it in a scene. As best as I can tell, your instructions for lining up AnimeDoll to M3 is where the problem lies. When I import AnimeDoll into the default scene with M3, then enter your dial setting for : YTran: .073414 ZTran: .031463 AnimeDoll shoots up way past M3's head. I tried to line them up matching the pictures in your tutorial t create the hybrid obj, but the cr2 figure still has bending problems in the legs, knees, fingers, feet, and the head flies off too! See sample images above. What I can do to make it work? I'm using Poser 4 on a Mac OS 9.2. Thanks for any help you (or other knowledgable persons) can offer. p.s. I wish there were more options for an Anime Male type figure. V3 has DAZ's AnimeDoll headmorphs, but nothing for M3. Wouldn't it be great if there were a Anime Male figure (with kit goodies like anime dude clothes and hair) like the Studio Maya AnimeDoll? bB

I had the same problem, I'm on P4 and I think Crescent is using Pro Pack or P5 so that may be causing the discrepancies. So, I just lined them up the way they matched best ignoring the suggested dial settings but then I also made my own cr2 using one of M3's because using the one Crescent provided resulted in the clothes not fitting correctly, probably because that cr2 is for those specific settings. I just had to do extra editing to get rid of all the M3 head channels and transfer the MayaDoll morphs via Morph Manager. Now it works smoothly. If you look at the Anime Doll/V3 tutorial you'll see how to best do this in parts 2 and 3. Oh, and because I'm hopeless with JP's I don't bother adjusting them for the head, I just uncheck bends for the head and it poses fine :)

Thanks for the advice, Kalypso. I tried creating a new obj again, and this time it worked! Hooray! No cr2 editing needed. About the head bend problems. I tried your trick of turning off the head bends, but that didn't really work for me. So I tried tampering with the joint parameters on the head instead. I think I have AnimeM3 posing better now, the head doesn't fly off the body, but it did "bunch up" the neck in one pose I tried. I noticed the arm joints seem wack in the picture above. Maybe I'll try messing with the joints some more. One more thing.... I was able to use Maconstructor to transfer AnimeDoll head morphs to the new M3 AnimeDoll, but copying M3 full body morphs didn't work. Have you tried it? Do you know how to transfer full body morphs from M3 to AnimeDoll M3? Thanks again for the tips. bB

Great! Glad it worked for you :) One way of transfering the full body morphs is using cr2 editor, the one by John Stallings (I think) in free stuff or what I've been doing lately is changing the cr2 extension to .pz2 and then Manson's Morphmanager 4 reads the full body morphs too and I transfer them via morph manager. Just remember to change the extension back to .cr2 again. Other than that, there is the slow, painful process of just editing text. I find EditPad very useful in opening large Poser files too. Hope this helps! K
