I've been amusing myself by building a puppet figure.  I've posted the figure and several characters which use the figure to my site at Morphography.

Only available via this link, until I figure out that new html editor I downloaded.  :unsure:

Part of what I wanted to do with this was work with a simple, basic figure and geometry and use scaling and procedural textures to create characters.  Hopefully that works pretty well.  That attached image shows something of how the figure can be scaled and shader-ed into a variety of shapes and sizes.  The little green guy in the middle is the basic starting shape.

Anyway.  It keeps me amused.  Hope someone can use such a thing.

Cage can be an opinionated jerk who posts without thinking.  He apologizes for this.  He's honestly not trying to be a turkeyhead.

Cage had some freebies, compatible with Poser 11 and below.  His Python scripts were saved at archive.org, along with the rest of the Morphography site, where they were hosted.

The .pzz scene for the image in the top post is included in the zip download.  This shows the included characters at their default scales, but before I improved the joints with weight-mapping.

I've already notified DAZ3D that you have stolen their top-secret Genesis 3 figure. Prepare to be sued :p

But seriously, you should name this character "Revelation" or something equally cheeky.

Wasn't there a thread like that, in the Poser forum?  When Genesis 1 came out, and/or when Genesis 2 came out.  Someone posted a stick figure, something something.  Umm.  :unsure:

Oh, I remember.  Phantom3D was going to call his male and female figures Revelation, when they came out.  Sadly, that project never developed.  It's one thing to spend a few days making a puppet figure and a few characters for it.  That's fairly easy.  Making complex human figures that bend and morph well... that's a much bigger challenge.  I wouldn't be able to pull that off, nossiree.  :lol:

Anyway, here's some puppets.  :laugh:

Thanks for the laugh, these are great!
