I'm trying to create a oser model based on myself. I'd like to be as accurate as possible. Does anyone know of a tutorial or suggestions on how to start.

Thats Poser Model

Depends what do you look like? Just kidding :) Are you wanting to make one from scratch or morph a figure to look like your face? You can apply images of yourself to box props in Poser to use as guides when morphing. I can tell you more if this is what you are wanting to do.

That is what I would like to do, Please help

Take pictures of your front and side. Load figure in poser. Load box from props Apply front image to box as a material. Make sure front of box has same ratio as picture. width and height. Make box display with texture. second ball from the right at the bottom. Select element from down arrow first. Make figure a wireframe view so you can see the image on you box. Move box and scale to fit model. Adjust morph dials or use magnets to change model to match figure. Make a box for your side image as well. The switch between front and side view as you adjust the dials. There may be a tutorial around somewhere that talks about this in more detail. But let me know if you have may questions.

BTW - If there is enough interest I can write a detailed tutorial on how to see this up. Here is a side of the finished model. It is a vicky base.

I would definitely be interested in a tutorial. Didn't know you could do that.

There are a lot of things worse than dying, being afraid all the time would be one.

i would like it if you did a tut on this subject cheers dolly

Thanks this is helpful. I would love to have more detail of course. What is the best model to use. Mike, MorphMan etc?

I don't know about MorphMan but Mike has enough morphs that you should be able to get pretty close.

Great! and thanks again

I also would really appreciate a detailed tuturial. Thanks

Add me in on the "Would love to see a tut for this" list. :)

A tutorial would be great.

I'm very dense too, it seems... but then I've only been using Poser for 3 days! I want to be able to do this though!! If I whine enough will it make the tutorial show up faster? ;D

Hi, don't worry ... my free website will be back in November. The reason why I had to close it was not that I'm selling my poses from now on. It was simply because of webhost-problems - I've taken to much bandwidth. The reason why I can bring back my site is because I got some money for my CD I'm selling. Some words to the CD: This is a totally different thing: My website contained around 2000 poses - the CD contains 5000 poses, a lot more other things like faces, props ... and (well you can imagine) was a lot of work during the last 6 months. Just to let you know - I made finally approx. one month nothing else then images ... to have an image-database available to work with - so it is not necessary to illustrate them ... the illustration will be part of the new PIAA (Posing is an art) Will this stop me from giving away free poses ?? At the moment - yes because I'm very busy in handling all the packages and orders. But in November PIAA will be back with a lot of FREE old and NEW poses (of course not the content of the CD that I'm only selling - but my only hope is you all won't kill me directly with mass-downloaders :o( - so please give this website a chance - If you think of download it all - you can also think of buying the CD directly - It'ld be less work and less stress you'ld have no problem with broken downloads and finally you disburd my traffic.
