smooth forhead morph for "Shades of Sagytarios" SOLVED

ChakradudeChakradude Posts: 260

Ok, I could not resist the sale and so snapped up Luthbel's Shades of Sagytarios along with the add on Morph and texture packages (great sale still going on!) I have a centaur comic idea I have been working on for years... My problem is that in all the included morphs and add on morphs I can't find one that will smooth out the wrinkles in his forehead. His look is great for battle scenes but as a main character in my comic I just don't want him scowling all the time.
Does anyone know of an included morph I somehow missed? Or perhaps someone created a smoothing morph they would like to share?

In truth I bought this a few years ago but returned it because of this issue of a constant frown face. Since then my story has not gone away but rather has been more developed and I have gained confidence in my 3d work ( a bit) so I decided to get it (Sagytarios) again and keep it. So if it comes down to it I may have to take it on myself to make a morph for it, though that would be pushing my comfort zone ( I'm not a modeler).

Still, if someone has already made one and wants to share...;) also I own a bookstore filled with sci fi and fantasy books and would happily send you your favorite fantasy ( or any other series ) if you are up to making or (legally) sharing a simple morph that creates a more neutral expression on him.


Ideas anyone?

Also interested in any clothing, armor, props, that might work with him. I know I will be wanting to hook him up to reigns and a wagon eventually.

    Does anyone else have an issue with this or is it just me? How would I go about creating a morph to smooth that out? Or, failing that, I guess I could create a little mask for his forehead like the one in raw art's cyclops for genesis, but I could use some help figuring out where to start. Maybe I should create a geometry shell and cut it up in a modeling program? I have silo and hexagon and cheetah 3d I think its called (mac program) I just haven't used them in a couple of years, but I want this project to work so I gotta figure out something.

    If I remember right, the brows are really in there. You might find a bit of assistance in this set for what you are looking to do though. http://www.daz3d.com/centaur-for-sagytarios

    Hi, yes I did get your morph package and it is great, thanks. Since you mentioned it I decided to go back in and experiment some more. I found many faces I like but poet at 60% does do a good job at taking some of the fierceness out of him. Then I got inspired to take the limits off of some of the originally included face morphs and found that eyes non oblique at around 300% also changes his emotional look to one more of sorrow. I also found raising his eyebrows up to 100% helps.

    I may have missed it but I still have not seen any morph to smooth the wrinkles in his brow. however, this is an improvement in order to get the range of emotion I am looking for and I am enjoying working with this model.

    thanks for the input!

    If I can ask, what program do you use for creating additional morphs for models?

    There's a pose "HeTaur2-inj", which smoothes out the forehead a bit. Have you tried that one?

    Wow, yes that is great! I did mess with those before but I somehow thought they were just textures.

    I think that does it!

    So the pose you are talking about is in the package "Raw Sagytarios Black and White" which is in fact mostly textures but has that one morph pose that does the trick!

    Thanks Lee

    And thanks again to Luthbel, Ghost of Macbeth and Rawart for these great art packages!
