Just a lil' experiment I toyed with this weekend. I took the body of ScottA's "Godzilla: Final Wars" figure, hid the head and eyes, and aligned it with the head of the older DAZ T-Rex figure by Debra.

I haven't created any kind of "bridging" geometry, nor have I tweaked the vertices of either figures' body parts to perfectly join each other. In preview mode, the gaps are quite embarrassing. But with the application of a custom Poser 6 "'Zilla" displacement material, the flaws have been effectively hidden. I certainly didn't expect it to work this well.

For giggles, I employed a backlit text effect, film scratches, and "noise" to create film "grain".

BTW, there's nothing wrong with ScottA's model. His is a faithful recreation of Goji' as he appeared in his latest film. I just prefer a more reptilian head upon the "King of the Monsters", which led to this experiment.

Sincerely,

Bill
