Hello:
I work with 3D aplications (3dmax) but i'm new to DAZ.
I find it usefull for posing, but i'm in need of character to use as mannequin that has to be very simple, no details in the face and very stylized.
¿How could i approach to this? i could model the mannequin in 3d MAX, but then ¿how could i use it in DAZ? i guess once modeled my better option would be to rigg it in max.
So i think that maybe there are some morphs that i can buy that alows me to modify the genesis character and make the process esier.
Here i attach a sample of what i need to do, please givme you advise.
Thank you.

    If you are happy to use the genesis female , it would be pretty easy to get it looking plain as in your shots. Just set the diffuse map under the Surfaces tab to 'none', and adjust other colours (e.g. subsuface) to white. Also, reduce the opacity of the eyelashes surface to make them invisible. Then use the genesis head morphs to close the eyes (if you want the eyes more 'invisible' you could remove them in photoshop). You can pose the figure using the genesis morphs (available in the store e.g. http://www.daz3d.com/genesis-evolution-head-morphs and http://www.daz3d.com/genesis-evolution-morph-bundle, there are others for genesis 2 I believe).

    I tried this out - see image. But I only spent about 10 minutes on it quickly - you could get something better with a bit more time to look closer to your image, e.g. adjust the muscularity and body shape through the genesis body morph settings so it looks less realistically human and more like a mannequin.

    Just one suggestion. There may be other better ways someone could post, but I hope that helps a bit.

    Thank you for your time.

    But i really need the figure to be like the real mannequin.
    The body will be most of the time cover by cloth, so making it thinner may be a choice (although the mannequin is more stilized) but the neck should be longer, the head shuld not have facial features, the ears need to loose al the daetail, also the hands need be simplier.
    I need it to be exactly like the picture and have the ability to pose it.
    I was hoping i miss something in DAZ that could help me to achieve this, but maybe my best option is to model it all in MAX and just rigg it there.

    Thank you again.

    There are actually mannequin figures available, though they are probably more detailed than you would like and are for V4/M4:
    V4 Mannequin
    M4 Mannequin
    V4 to M4 Mannequin Upgrade
