Poser - OFFICIAL F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2025 Jan 14 7:46 am)



Subject: Help, I can't recognise celebrities!

I know, there are a lot of celebrity models out there. And, for various legal reasons, you don't see the names of the real people attached to the Poser characters. Anyway, I'm not good with faces, and if you call a figure "London" I'd be unsure if the real person was called "Wyoming Nott" or "Scheveningen Smitt". (Actually, I think I could make a better guess for that one, and it's not Toulouse Lautrec.) But where are the models for the older film stars, the ones maybe long dead. Where can I find the famous faces of the monochrome era? Is there a young Fred Astaire or Laurence Olivier out there? Can we, with Poser, show that particular little bit of Harry in the night?

Attached Link: http://moggadeet.ellpro.com/

Moggadeet has a few, mostly horror oriented, Lugosi, Marty Feldman, Peter Lorre also Heston as Moses. He sometimes takes requests so you might ask him. I think there is/was a Bogart out there and probably Marilyn Monroe but that's all I can recall seeing. I'd love to see Lauren Bacall, Hedy Lamar, Bettie Davis...

Thanks, that's a useful site (and there's more than just horror, though we might not agree on just which politicians are in that category). But I don't think I'm going to try a music video of Tom Smith's "I want to be Peter Lorre", not yet, anyway.

Hey, that's a good site! I like the Lovecraft themed morphs. Also a pretty good one of Ripley for V3.

To be quite honest: aside from Moggadeet and Fygomatic, practically every "celebrity look-alike" Poser morph I've seen looks nothing like the intended celebrity whatsoever. It's not you, the characters just don't look like actual celebrities (although a few of the better ones are interesting in their own way). You could give one of Fygomatic's girls the most generic name you could think of, and yet almost anyone would still know who it's supposed to resemble.

Alan Alda?

Some of * JPeter*'s celebrity lookalike morphs are pretty accurate.  Check out his store here in the marketplace.

Yeah, I meant a lot of the celebs I recognized were horror types. The pols I'd file under porn except I respect porn stars. I would like to have Iron Maggie and Her Majesty in her WWII ambulance driver incarnation - she was really pretty hot in those days.

Now, an ATS uniform, that would be something you could ask for at Poserworld.

Honestly, without the costumes and hairstyles you'd never recognize most of those. They're very good character packs, but they are obviously M3/V3/D3/SP3/ETC3. Compare with Fygomatic's likenesses of Jessica Alba and Salma Hayek.

See highlighted text for trout slappage ;p

Keep slapping your trout and you'll be too blind to recognize anyone.

There used to be a Groucho Marx out there, ages ago. Probably for P4, or M1. There used to be a trout-slapping dance on Monty Python..;)
