    Well, there's always this one:

    Actually that's almost sad; it still a teddy so I'm not a fan, but he's a bit battered and worn.

    I'm holding out for a SCP-1048-A texture. Now that would be creepy. I assume 1048-B would be against the TOS or something, it squicks me out at least.

    Because everyone needs some SCP in their lives.

    ^Yay, SCP reference. We looked into the SCP as part of a creative writing course at uni last year.

     

    And I'd say this here new model of Joe's is a bear with range. He can be creepy or kind, cuddly or crazy.

    I'd love to see more Daz content based on SCP's. There's some great stuff in there.

    I agree. And if you set the  upper eyelid to invisible, and use a solid shader on the eyes, you get the traditional big, button eyes

    This is a perfect example of the uncanny valley

    Only if you yourself are a teddy bear.

    Gordig, could you post a render with the bear trying to smile?

    I don't know why you're asking me, but I don't own this yet.

    His eyebrows reminds me of this guy:

    The only difference is the proportions of his face.  Movie ted has big rounded features, like his snout. Joe's ted has squashed facial features, making it look more depressing. :)

    Yes, but is he a triple threat? 

    Acting?  Probably.  Dancing? Daz Studio does have animation... Singing?  That's probably beyond Daz Studio, but I'm sure someone can get this Bear to belt out a few tunes...

    Mark Wahlberg? (lol - Sorry). I thought of Ted when I first the product.

     

     

    As for the op, I'm not seeing it as creepy. Five Nights at Freddy's terrifies me more than this bear ^^'

    You may be on to something.  Mark Wahlberg is way more creepy than Ted. ;)

    I think without the eye whites and large typical irises he turns from creepy to cuddly.

    If one is going to slap absurd labels to to this theme, "plushophilia" (not a real word, but IS an actual fetish, BTW) fits the concept better.  Besides, Ted passes the "Harkness Test".  He is evidently "sapient"; he can express his thoughts and desires in clearly understood; he passed the age of reasonable consemt; and it's clear he very much wants to 'consent" (the main theme of the second movie), so, no, it is most definitely NOT bestiality (as defined by Webster).

    Do you often get confused by other people telling jokes?

    I think I just lost my innocence

    The eyebrows are part of the overall modelling; the maps add to definition to their appearance.  The material zones are set up as any other G8 character.  You are not able to change the opacity of the eyebrows, per se, to hide them.  They are part of the head map.

    those eyebrows spook me.

    I think you need a couple brown beer bottles there, bud.  Ted doesn't drink alone! :)

    If they're geometry, then you would need either a morph or a geograft to remove them.  Otherwise, you would just put a hole in his forehead.

     

    This morph is listed:
    Brows Inflate/Deflate


    https://www.daz3d.com/teddy-bear-for-genesis-8-male

    Deflate to inivisbility?  I wouldn't know unless someone tried.

     

     Here's another morph:
    Muzzle More/Less Round

    A rounded muzzle should make his face look more cheerful.
