How I create Toon 3D objects from normal "boring" ones !

in Art Studio

On this picture you can see a normal "boring" (free) chair at the left side.

Using Unity3D (free) and the (not free) Modifiers plugin (I bought at a low price for a long long time !) I can deform the chair (at the right side)... before importing the .fbx file into Daz4 :

    Good catch. I also use Unity for creating things, that will be hard to achieve in Daz Studio or that renders too slow, like animations.

    pretty good deformations - I'll be buying that 'Modifiers'

    Who is the author of the Modifiers plugin? A search brings up practically everything in the store because so many use the word modifier in their description.

    Ooops ! Sorry ! I have written Modifiers but the generic name is "Megafiers" !!!

    If too expensive now you can wait for special discounts sometimes...

    You can discover his website here for Megafiers and other plugins. The guy is a fantastic coder and very helpful if issues. The numerous videos will show you all the possible distortions with these modifiers.

    On the Unity forum (Megafiers thread) you can see a lot of things I made with this plugin (from the beginning !) as examples. (My avatar is a yellow blob !)

    OK, I've been considering Megawires too. The coder does a lot of applied numerical analysis algorithms. Thanks!

    (Yes... It's incredible what he can do. Look at the Megabook too : Crazy !)

    Here is the normal red tool rendered in Daz4... from the free Toon Furniture package on the asset store... and 2 quickly modified cartoonish chairs with the help of Megafiers :

    From another free package : a normal tree you can bend at the bottom or at the top. 

    Or you can "melt" a part for a fallen tree.

    So, you can create a forest with one tree !

    I usually scale the twees on 2 of 3 axis and rotate them on the axi for variety but that is good too even more variety. You didn't do that with megafiers?

  • 6r6r Posts: 463

    Yes, I made this WITH Megafiers before exporting/importing to show another way to use them... cool

    I missed the sale price for that package long time ago and with its current price, I have it in my wishlist.

    Please post more examples, if possible.

    you ight like to look at Carrara's modifiers - will do exactly the same if the object is one mesh

    I was about to suggest that as I scrolled down and saw Headdy beat me

    It's great to know we can do that with Carrara for those who have it ! Thanks for the info.

    On this thread you can see what I did for years with Megafiers : https://forum.unity.com/threads/an-infinity-of-3d-models-from-just-one-model.90153/ ! For example a whole kart using Primitives only !

    Here is a picture showing a small bridge I made with this plugin using several time my own simple wooden 3D object (visible at the left side of the picture !) :

    (I'm not the author of Megafiers and I don't earn any money ! wink It's just a way to help you creating Toon objects. Not an advertising !)

    Thanks for the link. I really like your renders.

    Thanks.

    A toon plane only with modified spheres as you can see in the hierarchy panel of Unity3D :

    Thanks for the remainder of Carrara modifiers.

    Now, I have something to play with, as well.

    Great !

    I'm very happy to know my thread wasn't unuseful if people have learned or discovered some things.

    It would be great if Daz Team could add this kind of modifiers in Daz Studio !?!
