    I'm afraid you picked two of the most unique figures out there. Star particularly cannot be achieved, in my opinion, by any other means other then buying her. Jazlyn as well, 3D Universe's characters are very unique but also very useful as bases to create new toony characters.

    Unless you get a bundle, it's very rare to get anything more than the shape and texture of the character. Hair and clothes are separate products except for very few cases. Having said that, Jazlyn does indeed come with the hair prop. You should always check the "What's Included and Features" part of the product page.

    If you're interested in assets to make toony characters, I'd suggest you look at some of my favorites. 3D Universe's store,  "The Girl", Sakura and Kaeko

    thanks a lot .. but i still have one question maybe you can help me with ! .. can i get your help by telling me how to find ANIME compatible with Genesis 3 and specially to change the body ? the body i mean like the hole body with the face head legs arms torso .. is that kind exict ? and about the hair if its included it's will be better but for now it's not a big matter for me because am using maya to make robots, tank, etc ... but with characters am very bad but i can make my own hair there so that's why am started using Daz studio .. if you gonna help, am trying to find something is able to be changed not for only one girl shape .. because i saw some videos that there is morph (or figures i don't know what they called) can be changed to 5 or 6 figures .. and thanks again

    i understood something that if i buy more than one figure for Genesis 3 .. so i will have more sliders in Genesis 3 that will allow me to mix it so i will get more shapes .. is it right ?

    hello there guys .. i need a help by making anime characters .. so you know am new here so maybe am bothering you by my questions because it's really for less than a beginner .. 

    so i understood something that if i buy more than one figure for Genesis 3 .. so i will have more sliders in Genesis 3 that will allow me to mix it so i will get more shapes .. is it right ? 

    what i need is to make anime characters, so that's why i chose Daz 3d .. it's really cool .. by to make that characters i need to buy figues from the store .. i don't want to spend my money 

    for something i don't need or something expensive, so i need your help, i need something maybe two or three morphs (or figure i don't  know what it's called) to make me able to generate like maybe 20 shapes ? am i right ? is that possible ? and thanks you again

    Set the subdivision in the viewport & for rendering to zero when you apply morphs and that will help reduce realistic detail to a degree.

    If you can't quite get the head morphed to be anime enough for your taste, you can download, install, & use the freebie below. I don't know of a male equivalent though.

    See my answer to the thread you already created. However, to get the minimum of morphing you need you need to buy the morph products from DAZ 3D. Otherwise please search on shareCG.com for "DAZ anime morph" to see what is free there. 

    sharecg.com

    nonesuch00 thank you .. i downloaded the Anime morph .. when i apply it to genesis 3 genesis will take an anime shape right ? so then i start applying the other morph you sent so the anime shape will be fat or thin for example right ?

    It will change her head shape I am sure but I think not her body. You will need to find on sharecg.com free anime body morph for Genesis 3 Female or buy the DAZ 3D products and morph them as close as you can to the body shape you want.

    Also, after you install DAZ products or free products into your DAZ content library, you need to save your scene, exit DAZ Studio, open DAZ Studio, and then open your scene again to be about to see the newly install product.

    The best to buy is Sakura 8 but she is Genesis 8 Female. You will need to download the free Genesis 8 Starter Essentials and then buy Sakura 8. And then that is cheap as you are going to get in the DAZ 3D world.

    a) https://www.daz3d.com/sakura-8 - she's on sale now but you'll get no clothing or hair in you just buy Sakura 8.

    You can buy a Sakura 8 Pro Bundle will will include a couple of clothing, hair, poses & such but it costs much money but is on sale for less than $50 USD now.

    b) https://www.daz3d.com/sakura-8-pro-bundle

    Alternatively, you can download the following free programs & content to create many anime characters to your liking:

    1) Blender - https://www.blender.org/download/

    2) MakeHuman - http://www.makehumancommunity.org/

    3) Manual Bastoni Lab - http://www.manuelbastioni.com/ & http://www.manuelbastioni.com/guide_types_for_anime_characters.php

    To learn to do what you want with a minimal fuss please start by following the directions at Manual Bastoni Lab.

    I'd suggest for that searchingYouTube & following their directions really on YouTube. DAZ 3D the company has there own YouTube channel with videos & some talk about what you are asking.

    To summarize via quoting concise summary of directions another forum poster gave today:

    "Then you do Morph Loader Pro to bring it back, and that... pretty much does it. If you are using the base dog, you don't have to do anything special. Then turn on the morph (may want to change the location in Parameters from Morph Loader to something nicer, like Actor/Breed or something), Edit mode, ERC Freeze the morph, then save the morph as a Figure/Morph asset."

     - bring it back - means the OBJ file you have edited in zbush after exporting it from DAZ at subdivision 0 and editing it in zbrush or other SW. Note - you cannot change the number of faces you can only push the faces around to change there location when you create morphs.

    Here's  videos on how to make morphs for Genesis in Zbrush and Blender.

     

    And this is how to rig a custom figure in DazStudio
