Hi everyone - has anyone seen, or does anyone know of any GOOD morph set to turn Micheal 4 or Freak 4 into a passable version of the Incredible Hulk? I've got a morph for Genesis called "Mr Hyde" which when applied In Daz Studio, the musculature looks very much like the Hulk. But I use Poser and DSON is a mystery to me. Any help would be appreciated

There is this for M4

The Goliath v01 MM4F by MightyMite

@ Digitell: That link is for Comic poses, not a morph package.

@hborre, yea I know but I saw where it said:

The Goliath poses were optimized using the F4. A goliath-sized Freak 4 has a tendency to have funky folds and weird anatomy. These poses attempt to minimize this weirdness.

So thought maybe it would make the Freak look more Hulk like.

There is a material in the freestuff here:

Hulky F4 by atrion

Yes, I agree. There are some bending problems with F4 when used to the extreme.

There's some morphs for "bodybuilder" type M4 characters available at the stores that specialize in hunky males. Not quite as shredded as Mr. Hyde, but with a more corded look than the M4 muscles pack.

And there's this:

It's a body morph, a texture and a face morph (requires Morphs+).

There's also stuff out there for Apollo and Freak 3 if you have those figures.

Thank you everyone, so much! Great info here! This one reason I love Rendo so much - everyone is so helpful!

The ol' good Freak v.1

The result of a whole LOT of dial spinning, deactivating limits of some dials and accessing "hidden" dials in other cases. Still couldn't quite achieve the squat "fireplug" frame I desired, but...meh.

Sincerely,

Bill

Those both look really good!

While one can't get the hands and feet to smoothly scale as much as with the Freak 4 version, the original Freak still edges into the lead as my preference for the Hulk. I;m able to achieve that wide "fireplug" frame for his body. Plus, DAZ once offered a perpetual freebie of ripped and tattered pants for that final touch as seen here.

Sincerely,

Bill

Ruckus for Dusk, available at the Hive, would work with a bit of work with the head morphs, and no weird behavior.

Wow! Redfern that looks fantastic! I love that! So just fiddling with numerous dials got you that result? So, on to my next question.... seems like that's all I do any more!

It's been a while since I used F4 for anything... so long in fact that I've switched computers in the span of time since I used him. In doing so, I lost some content, of which F4 was one of them. I re-downloaded him, along with all the morph packs that I purchased when I bought him, too. I re-installed all of it and when I clicked to inject the morphs (any of them), then turned the dials, nothing happens. Nothing at all. I don't remember ever having this problem before, so why aren't the morphs working now? Seems like it's always something...

IIRC...Freak 4 has to be installed in the same runtime as Michael 4, since he's a morph of M4.

I think I also had to "initialize" M4 again in order to get the Freak to work. (Run the .bat file in the !DAZ folder.)

I re-initialized M4 as you suggested and it all seems to work fine now - thanks for the help everyone!

Just to clarify, which version were you complimenting, my F4 version in the "speedos" and the "flaring" backdrop, or my F3 ("original" Freak) in the alley?

Sincerely,

Bill

Both really, but especially the one depited with Freak 3 where you mentioned the perpetually free pants. That one, to me, is closer to the look of the classic depiction in the comics or perhaps the movies. Very well done

Ah, thanks for the clarification. Yeah, I prefer that one, too. Of course, when DAZ removed that large repository of permanent freebies, the pants "disappeared" as well. Their default texture is purple as was often depicted in the 60s and 70s issues. (Purple is the color opposite of green, and is often used to make the other "pop".) But as the trope is often mocked, I opted to make them a neutral grey for this render. Here's another piece I did with that version, using the even older figure M3P4 (Michael 2 with the body shape and rigging of the Poser 4 Nude Male (teasingly called "the Dork")) paying a bit of homage to the very first Hulk comic cover.

I ran it through a polarizing filter as an experiment and it looked like Banner was getting hit by gamma rays, a happy accident.

Sincerely,

Bill

That looks great! I know you said you just tweaked your scaling dials and such to get him to look like that... um, I don't suppose you have a list of the settings you made, do you? :)

Actually, it's not that complicated...assuming you have the "morph and maps" sets for both Freak 3 and Michael 3. If not, you won't get the same results. But I have packaged the settings as a "pose" file which is legally distributable. Let's see if I can attach the surprisingly small zip file.

Hmm, apparently not. Tell me, do you have a Deviant Art account? If so, I can place it within my "sta.sh" repository and I can share the link.

You will have to make a few changes by hand afterwards. Basically, you will need to scale the feet, toes, hands and all finger (and thumb) segments to 125 percent. That will give the figure more of that memorable "Kirby-esque" blocky proportions. I also scaled the overall figure t 150 percent so that he dwarfs "normal" people.

I'm about to retire or the night, so if you post anything in the next few hours, I won't see it until morning (US Eastern DST).

Sincerely,

Bill

Hi Bill, actually I do the morph and maps sets. And my Deviantart account is

https://www.deviantart.com/arrowhead42

Thank you so much!!

Okay, for anybody who wants the pose file, it can be downloaded from here

F3-Hulk-Pose

Again, you'll need the head and body morphs for both F3 and M3.

Be sure to click the smaller download icon to the right of the page. The big a$$ one in the center often does not respond.

Sincerely,

Bill

Hi Bill, I clicked on the link and got a message

"Oops! The page you wanted to visit doesn't exist!"

You gotta' be kidding me...

I click it and I pop right to the page, Then again, Deviant Art has behaved rather "buggy" ever since that massive "upgrade" last May. I also sent you a "note" within the Deviant Art domain that also has the link. Open the message and try it from there. If that doesn't work, well, I don't know. It['s not something really worth uploading to ShareCG and I've always had issues with those sites like MediaShare. I may have to employ "plan B" and simply list the dial settings, the morph settings and their values and you enter them manually. This shouldn't have to be a major "SkunkWorks" project.

Frustratingly,

Bill

Link doesn't work for me either. The big one or the little one. Maybe you have to be logged in or something?

I'm logged in and it still doesn't work

Uh, yeah. That's why I asked if ArrowHead had a DA account. If you're not a member or not logged in, it's not going to work.

Sincerely,

Bill

Got it - had to access your stash by going thru mine. Thanks so much!

Oops! Just missed your post, Arrowhead.

Well, ain't that a crock o'sh!t... (Hmm, an alligator composed of fecal matter?!)

I'm gonna' send you another "note" at DA, so hang in there.

Sincerely,

Bill

Oops! Missed that post as well. Okay, never mind. "Sta.sh" was never such a bugbear before last May.

Sincerely,

Bill
