"Each FREE item will need to be of equal or lesser value of the item purchased." Is the value based on original, sale, or prime price? I'm trying to figure out which of these two items is the "lesser" value.

Again, Poser didn't prompt to save the scene before closing. At least this time nothing important was lost. The latest version has more than a few random glitches that it never had before. :/

Just realized that the last changes I made yesterday didn't get saved to the scene file used in the render above. Had to redo all of the changes from memory. Err... (gray-matter cache error!)

Here's what I have so far. The proportions of the head and body may not match up yet, as I've been pushing the age reductions independently to see how far they could go. Still working on the limb textures.

I thought about posting a render of the rest that I've done so far, but wasn't sure how clothed he'd have to be to not get flagged as inappropriate.

You said as young as possible, so I was thinking child. Though I'd be interested in any age other than the typical college age characters. Older or younger.

I know exactly what you mean. The lack of youth figures/characters is why I took that up as a hobby in the first place.

I'd had problems getting the body to go that far as well. Generally, once you get past a certain age, going younger gets easier. It's just getting there that's the problem. I'll give it another try.

The proportions of LH's head are a bit odd too, rather tall and elongated. Scaling the height down a bit helps.

Very good. I think he would look even younger if his brows were sparser, not just narrower.

How young are you thinking? I tried searching for reference photos of teen or even preteen faces and didn't see many with "sparse" brows. Most of them that did were younger adolescents.

Updated the brows.

It looks really nice. Like a youngish teen, maybe 15?

I think he would looking younger with brows that weren't as heavy.

Eyebrows are the bane of my life with Poser textures. There really aren't many that work for child figures. Either they're overly shaped and plucked (common with female textures), or they're way too thick and heavy (male textures).

Thanks! I've been meaning to make some other adjustments to the brows anyway.

Another go around. It tends to be an iterative process of tweaking to find the right combo.

Again, just the head for now because it's easier to adjust the body proportions to match the age. Changing the age of the face is much harder to sort out.

As to your question, since it is just a head ... I would estimate mid to late teens but without body proportions I couldn't narrow it down. Nice work by the way.

Guess the choice of hairdo will be of great influence on estimates of age. Bald heads are not very common for that age.

Here's a LF hair that looks OK on a guy. 3Dream tends to make some decent unisex sets.

True, details such as texture and hair gives a great sense of a character. I didn't spend much time looking for hairs yet, as that usually involves rummaging through gigs of yet unsorted files. LOL Though I have most of the body morphed, the focus is on the head shape at the moment.

I didn't include the body because the proportions can be adjusted as needed to whatever age. The face is harder to get right and I didn't want to bias people's opinion.

Just an odd thought. Have you tried LaFemme's texture (Not the Pro but the basic). They share the UV maps and it may be easier to "man up" the female texture for a young man that to (delete things from the Male textures/.

I tried that first and it didn't look too good. Could give it another go, or some mashup between the two.

Looks good!

Question is of course how old you want your 'youth' character to be.

As young as I can with what is included with the figure and Pro morphs. That's as far as I could mange so far.
