Looking for advice on monkey feet for genesis

I'm trying to create a chimpanzee using Genesis 1. I have the Gorilla character for Genesis and turning the Gorilla head down to -1 and then scaling the head proportion up to match the body to help create my chimp. The body however is to bulky. I tried turning the parameter limits off on sliders like Heavy and Pot belly and such to try to make the body skinnier, but it doesn't quite look right. I planned on using the chimp head morph for M4's Creature Creator morphs I converted using GenX and the Chimp texture from the Ape World Chimpanzee for M4. Any suggestions on how I can perhaps just morph the feet to look like an ape's?

    I have a set coming out soon for g2m that will help with that. (sorry..not for G1 though)

    Firstly, there is a chimpanzee head in Creature Creator for Genesis. I haven't had time to try what you want to achieve, but I intend to, so we're in the same cart. I'm not sure about the feet, but I'd try Creature Creator. Possibly Homo Erectus series transferred through GenX(2). And dialing Gorilla for Genesis in a reversed scale doesn't give good results, sadly. Somebody truly ought to get realistic primates onto Genesis and as animal figures.

    I had a bad case of Monkey Feet once... a little bit of Super Lamisil and some antibiotic and it cleared right up... the tail took longer to go away, but its mostly gone now.

    Thanks, RawArt. I still use G1 because I can create male and female characters with one figure, though I'll probably use G2 when this comes out.

    cecilia.robinson, I have Creature Creator for M4 and V4 and converted it with GenX and used it on Genesis, and got the look I'm happy with, all except the feet. I just wish there was a way to use the Gorilla morph on only the feet though.


    lordvicore, all I can say is (in Charlie Brown's voice), AAAUUGGH!!!

    And good that you are talking about virtual monkey, and not putting images on Wikipedia ;)

    Perhaps there's a way to freeze the feet morph and then save it as a separate morph? Or maybe the person (persons?) behind Gorilla for Genesis could make you a partial morph... The same thing with its baby morph. It is cute, but the head top is protruding too much. Only adult silverbacks have that egg-shaped skulls. Females and babies have them flatter.
