just wondering if anyone can help me out... I'm presently working on a project in which the main character is a lovable mad scientist type dude. I've worked in 3d programs before but I am new to Poser and finding it difficult to deform any of the current male model figures into this lovable type cartoony scientist type dude. Does anyone know of where I can find a figure like this? or can you give me an idea of a resource that would help me to create such a character? Thanks

.....a....LOVABLE mad scientist?.....what, brain transplants on CareBears?.....creating more Teletubbies?......releasing the virus that will kill all lawyers?....wait, on second thought....I would love this guy! Scarab<-lovable hunchbacked assistant ("Yes, Master-dude!") Dont look now, the Fox Network is already doing market research for the series...."Master-Dude and Scarab"

Two kinda off the wall suggestions: Assuming the character will remain clothed, you might try working with the female model. There are a hundred times as many morphs available. You might find it much easier to get the face your character needs. Also, if it can still be found, check out the Sherlock Holmes character (I assume it was Sherlock/H.L. Arledge's but none of his work is in FunStuff anymore) I don't know about "lovable" but it had a pretty good Basil Rathbone thing going. High forehead, long nose, & pointy chin.

Hmm..what about the Cranky Old man that was available in the funstuff a while back? I believe created by Grey. If you placed a lab coat on him and perhaps made him a bit uncranky he may pass for your "lovable old chap". Um...provided he is old. PAN~

I know a lot of mad scientists, but they're not poser characters. There's a mad nurse on the forum funstuff pages that may be able to direct you.

and ... had to look around for this one... but here is a link to a commercial site from Singapore that has several non-poser Doctor models for sale. http://www.its-ming.com/
