Attached Link: Tom Baker (Doctor Who) Faces
Just in time for the 50th anniversary of the series "Doctor Who", allow me to share some face (.fc2) poses I created a few years ago. When applied, Michael 3.0 is transformed into Tom Baker, often referred to as the "Fourth Doctor".The package comes with 4 .fc2 files and their accompanying .png thumnail images. One is a "neutral" expression (depicted in the attached render. A second is a closed lipped smile. A third is a moderate grin. And the fourth is the full blown "manic" grin my late grandmother described as "a mule having eaten green briars".
Please note that you will need Michael 3.0, the DAZ offered head morphs and Beth Capces' "Brom for Michael 3". (Thankfully, at least at the time I've posted this, all three products are stll available.)
I suspect some of you will want to ask, "What about the other Doctors like Tennant, Matt Smith or Patrick Troughton?" Alas, you'll have to find them through other resources. Don't get me wrong. All the actors who have played the role have their distinctive virtues. But Tom was my "first" Doctor, and as such he made the strongest impression. His is the only features I've attempted. For Tennant fans, I recommend contacting JoeQuick. He made a very remarkable 10th Doctor using Michael 3. It was once available at ShareCG, but seems to have vanished. But if enough people enquire about it, hopefully JoeQuick will repost it.
As I stated, I made these face poses some years ago and shared it on a "case by case" basis. I thought it was high time I gave it general distribution.
Enjoy, and have a jelly baby on my behalf (I'm dieting) come Saturday when the series celebrates its 50th anniversary!
Sincerely,
Bill

Nice work Bill! Thanks for sharing too.
Tom Baker was my first Doctor too... and still my favourite.

Here's Tom's patented maniacal grin just in case anyone wondered how it looks.

The grin is my favourite part...
...both of Tom's Doctor and your face pose set, Bill :-)

Without revealing too much, it appears this face pose set is particularly relevant now if one uses a white texture for an appropriately curly hair prop, and a skin texture with some age wrinkles. Maybe dial in a bit of the old age morph from the DAZ morph set.
When you see "Day of the Doctor", you'll know what I mean. ;-)
Sincerely,
Bill

Thank you. Tom Baker was my first Doctor, also. Poserworld makes an outfit for M3, so this is great. Of course, I can't afford Bruno until next payday :-(. Very much appreciated.

Actually, it's "Brom" you need. I don't know about a "Bruno" set.
I just want to make sure you get the correct item.

Bill
