Hello my name is William your host at anime labs. I will show you the potentials of anime in carrara. Did you know that Anime is a global hit? Watch and learn.


William_Rivera posted Fri, 13 December 2019 at 9:25 AM

I'd like to share some skills I use to render anime characters, I flatten the character making it look 2D.  I use carrara but it might be possible in Daz studios.

Please see the images below for better understanding.

Using the scale X and Y can make possible the flatten of a character you can make her as flat as you want.

Ear Pulled, Square big eyes, small mouth, unrealistic skin and light bulbs on the cheek are all anime features.

Lets start with lightings

See images below please:

Ok the Bulb is at 35% lighting at the color on the radial is

H= 96.50%

L=60.53%

S=29.99%

This bulb gives proper anime skin lighting unrealistic notice that the bulb is over by the edge the character is centered

Now we go for the Distant light settings see image below please:

Ok the Distant light is at 80% lighting at the color on the radial is

H= 95.77%

L=78.94%

S=37.48%

The location of the distant light can be seen on image 1.  Both lights are set to best settings - raytraced under the effect tab

This conclude the lesson on the environmental light settings is more of a pinkish lights.

The following lesson will focus on the Ear Pulled a very important anime feature disregarded by many :P

We will place our lovely model facing forward for better teaching.

This model is Aiko 3 with kioki morph, This character has many morph and lots of clothes.  Aiko 3 is widely supported in the Japanese Community including pixiv.net  PoserClub.net.

In order to pull the ears on Aiko 3, see the images below:

This image has been resized to fit in the page. Click to enlarge.

 

The values are as follow

Earin= -2.0 (thats minus 2.0)

EarBig= 0.7

EarSmall= 0.9

I doubt you can do these with Aiko 4 or up.  I always recommened Aiko 3 for your anime needs.

Next Lesson we will talk about Triangular Chin

This next lesson focuses on her Triangular Chin.  The triangular chin cannot be done using Aiko 3 alone.  You need to have Kioki for Aiko 3 to make this triangular chin, without Kioki I do not think you can create such a perfected Anime Chin.  Kioki by Capces can be purchased here at Daz. at https://www.daz3d.com/kioki and Kioki Requires Aiko 3 morph and map located here https://www.daz3d.com/aiko-3-0-morphs-and-maps now on to the lesson.

 

This image has been resized to fit in the page. Click to enlarge.

 

The values are as follow:

JawH=0.3

JawSquare= 0.9

Here are the eyes lesson, possibly the hardest and tedious part is morphing these eyes in an anime style shape.  First you need to darken the eye socket materia, by making the eyes socket material dark it will create a dark outline all around the eyes. Again, the morph I used on these requires the Kioki Morph.  Here are the values of the Anime Eyes Shapes along with links.

I recommend Dumb or Anime Eyes for Victoria 3 (Victoria 3 Eyes fits on Aiko 3) @ https://web.archive.org/web/20060925192216/http://jjdelpy.free.fr/Poser/doaeyes.html

The values for the eyes are as follow:

EyesScale 0.5

EyeSpace 0.5

EyeAngle Up 0.2

EyeGumDrop 0.3

EyeinSquare 0.3

Eyelwrflat 0.3

EyeOutDwn 0.4

EyeShape1 0.8

EyeUpFlat 0.1

EyeDepth -0.1

EyeHeight 0.1

EyeWidth 0.1

Eyelidshllw 0.1

Eyelidshvy 0.1

Lasheslong 1.0

Lashlofull -9.0

Headshape and nose is as follow:

HDstylized 0.8

ThroatThin 1.0

Nosepointed 0.4

MouthSmall 0.2

MouthNarrow 0.2

Doing the HDStylized will automatically make the nose small and will also give the head an anime style.  This are the basics of making an anime head using Aiko 3 with Kioki morph in Daz Studios it may be possible to do all this but I am not 100% sure if Kioki will work in DazStudios, I assume it does because is sold here.  The above was all done in Carrara.

This next lesson we will focus on Anime Hair we will need the following for this tutorial

https://www.daz3d.com/xinxin-for-aiko-3

https://www.daz3d.com/dixie-hair

Rainbow for Dixie hair by fantasiesrealm

I notice that things are a little bit less stricter at the gallery I remember back in 2008 when i place a simple nude image I was attacked by the moderators and have my pic removed. Now I see people placing nude pics like crazy without moderation, I stopped placing nude pics alltogether a while now.

A closer look at Aiko 1.0 released around February 2002 Discontinued product at Daz Studios.  The readme says:  Been dying to do some anime work, but unable to get the correct anime style right? Well now you can. Aiko (Love Child) by default is a bijin (beautiful woman) with henshin (physical transformation) powers. She is sure to satisfy even the most devout dai fan (anime fan). This character is equipped with the right proportions and abilities to build expressive and personality rich stories in either manga (comic book) or anime (animation).

My renders below:

 

Aiko 1.0 can be either a guy or a girl.

In Carrara you can use Formulas to color hair, the highlight on the character is actually a formula not a texture.

I have used Carrara for some time now I use it for Anime renders, I have thread over by the Daz3D art studios called anime cafe.; Now because of Carrara limit on genesis I have used Kioki Aiko 3 is more of an anime type of base model with many morphs.; Carrara is great for anime renders, not so realistic just perfect.
