Poser - OFFICIAL F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2024 Dec 22 10:18 pm)
Damned rolling balckouts! Mine'll be up tomorrow! Damn! Get the best character figure in the past year and can't get renders going on! DUDE! Rikishi bends just like a REAL guy! This guy seriously rocks and then some!
If someone know how to get in contact with Odegami, tell him to contact Philc to get Wardrobe Wizard support for this guy! I have a Kingpin render with Rikishi's name all over it! I just need to get ISOP's suit for M3 on him!
I like Rikishi because he is like....A character actor? He has a real personality in the expressions and his base mesh flexes like a real person's body. This seems a superior product to the G2 figures.

Hey Steve that bloak reminds me of odd job (Harold Sakata) from the Bond movie "Goldfinger".

He also looks like the guy that does "collections" and if you don't have this weeks "payment" you could get a couple of your fingers broken.
It is sumou or sumō, not sumo. I know that this is being pedantic and the other spelling is accepted 'English'. But if someone said that they saw an ardvark - what would you do? ;)
I don't exactly like 'morbidly obese' people shoving each other around, but I love sumō. Used to follow NHK news when available on cable, and this was always the best part. Can't seem to find NHK news anymore.
As for the figure, superb work. Just because of the inference, I might get it. And if sumō is good enough for Zatoichi, it is good enough for me. :)

Oh yeah - here's the product page:

Will be interesting to see how popular this figure will be compared to "Pretty" ones. I have a suspicion that most users don't give 2 craps about superior functionality when weighed against basic attractiveness - Though the very reasonable price might be attractive in itself.

Rikishi is an original figure and looks convincingly plump too! Other than the Sumo wrestler loincloth, it was thoughtful of odegami to include the everyday conforming clothes, complete with fitting socks and 2 types of shoes, which extends the flexibility of the character. Perhaps, he should have also included the cute face poses (shown in his promo renders) in the package but that is a minor omission (maybe he could release it as a Free Stuff download). Now additional body textures (especially a tattooed "Yakuza"-type) in future releases by odegami or others would be good!
:biggrin:
thanks Carcinogen ;o)

He DOES have increase functions! OMG! He is SO easy to use! His JCM are most impressive! I had to do this render: http://www.renderosity.com/mod/gallery/media/folder_127/display_1265862.jpg
He can be a John Belushi kind of character, Sumuo, enforcer, or what ever. Including a regular guy on vacation, chatting up his girlfriend and friends long distance on the cellphone, :lol:

There's a difference. "Aardvark" is a Dutch word, a language that already uses Roman orthography so there was no need to transliterate the word. "Sumo" comes from a language that didn't use that alphabet. The use of the macron for long vowels is based on the Hepburn romanization of Japanese, and while that's the most common one used it isn't the only one. In Japan, while Hepburn is the de facto standard, it's often simplified by omitting the macrons and circumflexes. Odds are if you see a sign in Japan saying "Tokyo" it will read just that, not "Tōkyō" which Hepburn, strictly speaking, demands. So you're more likely, in Japan, to see a sign indicating "sumo" than "sumō".
This isn't just Japanese, but happens commonly when translating words from one language to another that uses a different alphabet. Arabic provides good example: the leader of Libya's name is variously translated as Khadaffi or Qadaffi, just to use two variations I've seen. None of those are wrong and which you use depends, for instance, on what newspaper you write for.

You just can't put the words "Poserites" and "happy" in the same sentence - didn't you know that? LaurieA

He reminds me of one of my brother-in-laws. I need to get Poser 6.

I agree completely, but I just like the more correct phonetic/syllabic English equivalents - knowing the Kana and Kanji. I much prefer to see Oosaka over Osaka and sumou over sumo any time - even if it reads funny to the unitiiated. One downside of the 'dumbing down' because of symbolic limitations is that, for Japanese, it can lead to misinterpretation or difficulty in referencing if one is not already acquainted with the word. I've encountered this myself on occasion because of the lack of compound vowel or double consonant delineation.

Just to add, there seems to be little problem with supporting non-English, but European, Alphabetics - tildes, carets, and accents. I would as much complain about seeing "hasta manana" as sumo! Proper names, one supposes, can be forgiven as the association, incorrect or not, has already been engrained. But I will always write it Tōkyō. ;P
'Nough on that - back to enjoying this cool figure!

I intend to buy him - he is just what I look for: Something different - a real "character". Bravo!
One question to the new owners: Can he take other textures. . . say the Thomas texture for James? I guess I wonder if he is as flexible in this manner as the DAZ bases are.
Thanks for sharing everyone.
Tim
hahaha you whould be amazed what this "dude' can inspire me too ....
A "shame" i dont have the cash. for it ... time i have enough :{
I think i have to start sell stuff in stead of giving it away hahaha...

SOMEone's puppetmastering him, it looks like, I dunno.
Anyways, he was tough to set up in PuppetMaster, because of his hugeness! :rolleyes: There were some difficult aesthetic decisions to make. I agree, the arms have to be out farther for fat guys - and they are - but you can't really tell in that pose, because of the fat. I had it more exaggerated to do a real fat guy walk, but then his arms were pretty much flailing straight out to his side, and too many other poses looked bad.
I did it the 'normal' way first, and tested... then the 'exaggerated fat guy way', and tested... and ended up compromising half way between 'normal pose' and 'fat guy pose.'
If you prefer the other way, you're welcome to adjust the arm flail and leg spread yourself in PuppetMaster, using the tools provided.
OK, I set up 'Rikishi H' to do the full fat man thang. He looks better on this walk, I grant you that:
But he kinda falls down on poses that are already exaggerated, as in the following:
Eh, six of one, half a dozen of the other.
Since Rikishi comes with an 'H' version that has a beard, you could leave one character set up to take 'normal' poses, and another that does them the 'fat guy way', and take your pick.
It took about 2 minutes to tweak Rikishi in PuppetMaster to do poses 'the fat guy way', but at least 10x that to render him, upload him, and talk about the differences on this post.
I have this guy in my cart. Just waiting for the cc payment to go through... as usual!
