Hint: She is not from DAZ3D nor Smith Micro.

This is an anime-style original character.

akane.  there was beta character called tendo akane, created by ascii in 2002, but I dunno if he's still member here.

oops, my bad!  in response to following post, my next guess would be kristin?

Nope !!

Maya Doll?

Laurie

no again... heh heh

Surprise - she is Aniko by Have of Japan.

I've never even heard of that figure. LOL

I tend to avoid the Japanese sites other than the ones I've frequented all these years because even when the page is translated I can't really find my way around sigh.

Laurie

just rummaging thru my old collection of indie figures amd am finding a few gems, like this one.

Aniko and her boss Genzo were available free long ago, but like the rest of Have's figures, are no longer... :sad:

Alan Alda?

LOL

I never knew Aniko had a Genzo ! I didn't collect that figure...

Spoken like a true freebie hoarder.

But seriously, I'm re-visitng old content because I feel I need to squeeze more renders ot of them.  takes more effort to fit clothes and pose them correctly. I am a Retro Content User, I suppose.

I have Have's Eroko and Oni goblin, can't seem to track down Aniko though.

Oh, I DO have those. LOL

Aniko and Eroko and that vulgar long-tongued Oni. LOL

Was trying to get Eroko set up to where she looked decent with SSS a few months back. Gave up. LOL

Laurie

Also, there is a Tsuyoko original female figure.  Poses rather well. 

Little miffed that I don't have Aniko... I think I have every single anime figure there is in the Poserverse otherwise (in a dedicated Runtime. Of course A3 has her own Runtime, too). funny thing is that except for Miyazaki-san, Rintaro, and Shunya Yamashita I'm not that crazy about the Anime design aesthetic. Just got the Japanese Poser art bug I guess.

In addition to Eroke, Aniko, Genzo and the Goblin, he also had Tuyuko, who came with some clothing (incl. the obligatory ropes) and extra morphs. Genzo was a somewhat older male character. Given that he could drop his pants, some might say he was a DOM, but I prefer active mature gentleman. Eroko (and perhaps Genzo as well) was unusual in having her face as a separate part. She and the other females also had some of the most detailed and functional intimate feminine accoutrements. Too bad Have's things are NLA.

Hmmm, says on one of the pages that Eroko is a masochist.

"Genzo was a somewhat older male character. Given that he could drop his pants, some might say he was a DOM, but I prefer active mature gentleman."

I think the ability to drop ones pants would probably be as equally useful to a SUB, but I digress from such a thread digression...

(anyone one remember those old battery op frankenstein toys that when you activated it Franky's pants would fall down around his knees and his face would light up red? anyway.)

Eh? This Genzo was a Doctor of Oriental Medicine??

Something tells me my google-fu aint so hot at 6am...

Heh, if you want, Aniko and Oni can still be had. You have to go back in internet time of course. Yay for the wonders of internet science!  Hehehehe....

Btw, the "Free Stuff 1" link at the top of Haves' web page the link sends you to should get you to the Eroko Ver1.1 download. I'd put the link here but the download page has a nude of Eroko.

Edit for spelling. m(_ _)m

mylemonblue, you are the man/woman! Just DL'd Ariko! Think that just about covers the obscure Ha-ve figures for my collection... Thank you very much for finding that, although it's funny because I was on that page earlier but failed to scroll down past the Oni. very excited in a totally dorky kinda way!

Just beware that Have used sometimes Japanese limb names etc., which non-Japanese Poser had diffikulties to handle. For me the figures at the time caused problems with Poser 7 'hanging'.

This may be solved in present Poser versions or new OS systems.

Eroko's size and rigging resembled Victoria2's enough to make clothing items fit for poses not too far away from neutral.

I so recognize the felling and the fun. There is so much good stuff on the old trunks! It is fairly low-poly compared with today's standards, and if necesary Snarley's Subdivider is a great help. Then use EZSkin to add SSS, and you will not beleve your eyes.  Reality/Lux too provide subdivision and a new lore to old stuff. 

I used the V4 MFD on my opening post render, with a little adjustment here and there in terms of posing fit.  Did not conform the dress, but instead, applied the same Universal Pose to MFD as I did to Aniko figure.  Works.

update:  I think the Oni is an upgraded Genzo figure - just guessing, but the face looks similar, judging from WayBackMachine webpages.

If you poke around the various Way Back Machine scan dates (at top of their webpage), and you choose some earlier dates for the webpage snapshot, you will find Eroko-face2.  That one is a more realistic face prop than her default anime look.

If you poke around the Wayback machine one can find Toukyo, whioo was the sucessor to Eroko. 

Someone had a script to correct Japanese figures' bodypart names for non-Japanese versions of Poser, but i don't recall who.

One thing to note, though is that Have seemed quite annoyed to discover that these figures were stil available when they were discussed over at the old DAZ forum.  I told him how to exclude them from access via the Wayback machine, but they are still available...

It was Cage who wrote the Fix Script.  His Freebie page is down due to problems with the Poser Place server, but is in the Wayback Machine.  It requires a standalone Python installation...

http://web.archive.org/web/20120107042901/http://www.the.cage.page.phantom3d.net/scripts/scripts.html

I plan to use them a bit in some renders just for fun.  Good clean fun, OK.

Ayame is still available at Poser Club (registration required to download)...

http://www.poserclub.net/public_html/index.php?option=com_docman&task=doc_details&gid=118&Itemid=61

I had the damnedest time trying to register at Poserclub, turns out you have to use IE for the registration process.

"Have seemed quite annoyed to discover that these figures were stil available when they were discussed over at the old DAZ forum."

I wonder why? I mean they're pretty nicely made, perhaps it's the "adult" nature of the figures (some of the morph names on aniko are pretty funny).

There's a long discussion about Have's old figures on the Daz forum archive...

I like anime, I'm not sure I like it as a 3d figure though.  Doesn't translate mediums too well.  Still, I use A4 from time to time.

have's tuyuko, downloaded 2007 from site listed by mylemon.  maybe earlier or later version of site.

Do you have the link to that figure? I can't find it. Thanks!

"I think the ability to drop ones pants would probably be as equally useful to a SUB, but I digress from such a thread digression..."

Um, wrong lifestyle.

"Eh? This Genzo was a Doctor of Oriental Medicine??"

Lads, lads must I spell out the dreaded incantation - crossing my fingers behind my back - Dirty Old Man. Yes, the women have had their revenge. Try to be a venerable gentleman interested in the education and welfare of youth and you're a DOM. Do it as a woman and you're a "Cougar" - ooh, cool, trendy. OK, it didn't work out too well for Demi.

A lot of these figures could take on a new look today, Maya Doll, Pu, Lina, Kururu … I don't make the rounds of the Japanese sites as often as I used to, and I may be wrong, but it seems that there seem to be fewer of those fun, unique figures being made today.

"Do you have the link to that figure? I can't find it. Thanks!"

Tuyuko V1.0

I want Genzo. He reminds me of Mr Burns from the Simpsons. (Yeah, for me, it's all about the toons.)

"I want Genzo. He reminds me of Mr Burns from the Simpsons."

Chuckle. Yeah, if you slimmed Genzo's pot belly down, he does have a bit of old Monty in him. I'll take Aniko over the creepily devoted Smthers any day though :-)

Didn't know he had a pot-belly (not that I'd probably even care) I only saw the face-shot provided in the link here. He just looks like he'd make a great toon villain - I can see him getting along well with Cruella Deville.

ROFL...and here I always thought I was just a dirty old woman.

"ROFL...and here I always thought I was just a dirty old woman."

Nah, I think if you send in your DOW card they send you a new Coogah one  

Hiya, i have a problem, i downloaded that Aniko figure but poser doesnt see her, since the folder and the names of the clothes are in japanese, i see the folder in the poser character library, but it has garbage characters and its empty? any ideas? should i just rename everything?

@suucat - if you're on Windows, swtich your language to Japanese and your fonts to something used for Japanese. Re-boot.

I think that requires certain physical attributes that I ain't got. LOLOL.

Didn't have that problem, all of Have's stuff works fine... using a Mac though. I did make some adjustments to use Japanese fonts a while back but I'm not seeing this reflected in any of the files, curious.

And if you have Oni or Goblin, you should take a look at the props of the figure to switch on the "mara", the tongue and the additional horns.

Also, in those old days, IMO itweas in 2005, Have offered some additional morphs for the private parts of Aniko, really unbelievable morphs. He delievered them as Objects, but scaled in different ways so if you looked at them, they looked like anything else but not like hips.

I made it past the subscription hurdle of PoserClub. (with Google Chrome!) I must say  I like Ayame.

Nice detail is that her teeth and inner mouth load as a separate prop, so you can esaily delete those if she keeps het mouth closed and save polygons. With about 20K polies she is not a big consumer.

She has a limited set of morphs. 

She looks good and personal 'out of the box'. She comes with a hair prop. Bending is not great, in particular in the hip area at large angles, but she can do nicely for standing poses. 

I have a section in my Runtimes where she will find a place. 

My Japanese is somewhat rusty, so from this place: Z3D, thank you. 

Thanks, MyLemonBlue for the WayBack link for the Oni.

Using just the head and neck upon an otherwise "normal" suited figure, and applying a Larry Fine hairstyle with a white texture, he would make a rather manga accurate Chief Aramaki from "Ghost in the Shell".  Shirow always drew him as a freaky lil' gremlin of a fellow.

Sincerely,

Bill

Sorry to bump the thread, i do have Japanese languaje installed on my computer so i can see Japanese sites, i can read Japanese a little, Hiragana/Katakana and some Kanji, so... here are some screenshots so you can see what is going on...

Windows can see the Japanese characters, but Poser cant, and the folder is empty ._.
