Anime Doll Pop Tops, pt I
Okay, the Anime Doll takes more work to turn into a Pop Top, but it's worth it! (Yes, I'm a serious anime freak and I love the Anime Doll but I also love stealing the Mil Figures' clothing.)
What you'll need:
- The Anime Doll
- Michael 3 (or another Mil 3 figure)
- a text editor like Textpad. (Don't use Notepad - it can't handle it. I don't like Wordpad, much, either.)
- If you have a PC - Morph Manager - available in the Renderosity Free Stuff area. (MacConverter can move the morphs over for all you Mac'ies out there.)
1) Load the Mil figure you want to use in the scene. In this case, I'll use M3 (since M3 takes a little more effort.) Do *NOT* move/change the M3 figure in any way!!!
2) Load the Anime Doll into your scene.
3) Hide M3's head. (Select the Head. Object: Properties. Remove the checkmark for visible.)
4) Hide the Anime Doll's neck.
5) Select the entire body of the Anime Doll and move it into position so that the head fits properly onto the neck and looks proportional. (This is why we hid the AD neck and the M3 head - to make it easy to see when it fits. You may want to hide the chest and collars so you can get a better idea of the proportions as well.) You may have to scale the figure a bit. (For this hybrid, I scaled up the Anime Doll body to 108%, set the yTrans to -.206, and the zTrans to .012.)
6) Once you're happy with the fit, go to File: Export: Wavefront Object.
7) Hit Okay on the next screen.
8) In the Hierarchy Selection. Remove the checkmark for Universe. That means that everything will be unselected.
9) Go to the Anime Doll figure; it should be Figure 2 if you have no other figures in the scene. Check the Head only and hit Okay.
10) Save the object as AD2M3-Head.obj in the \Runtime\Geometries\!Derived folder.
11) In the next pop-up screen, make sure the 1st, 2nd, and 4th boxes are checked and the others are not and hit Okay.
12) Repeat stetps 6 - 11 with the AD left eye (AD2M3-LE.obj) and the AD right eye (AD2M3-LE.obj). Do *not* bother to save the Anime Eye props themselves. We'll get those in when we hack up the .cr2 file.
Okay - now for the scary part - the .cr2 file. (Sorry, this is more painful than the Neftoon-V3 hybrid - but it really is worth it!)
