Just a quickie demonstration on how to take stuff for (in this case) David (this is the latest DAZ freebie package, BTW) and adapt it over for another character, like (in this case) Ichiro.

The trick, as with many of the other Littles, is exporting the pieces to obj format, then bringing them back in as smart props. In this particular case the loin cloth parents to the hips real nice, and you dont have to worry too much about conformity, since there's nothing to conform -- same with the headband, BTW. The shoes are parented to the feet, and the sword and shield come pre-parented (I think, I could be wrong on the shield).

All told, the adaptation took about ten minutes' time.

And a big THANKS BUD to pdxjim for this fun little package.

Jim'll love it ;) Tony

ARGGHHHH!!!!! I saw the title of the thread, and ALL sorts of things went through my mind. Tony's right though, I love it. Maybe I should just convert it to Ichiro. I'm planning on an M3 conversion of both the Full David Fantasy set and the freebie package. If I don't do it now, I'll definitly make a full set for Ichiro 2 (when he comes out). Thanks Sean! For the pic and the birthday wishes!
