[closed]Toon Generations Homerun and other iterations of Toon Generations

robross

I want to create baseball themed cartoon (no animation involved). The only option with uniforms and equipment seems to be Toon Generations Homerun. But this seems to be based on the older/original version of Toon Generations. I have the DAZ3d versions of Toon Generation Megabundle (for Genesis 8) and Toon Generations 4 bundle. Would it be possible to use Homerun with these versions of Toon Generations? Anyone familiar with these?

I remember that Toon Generations 2 (the 2nd version that works with Genesis 3) has a fit for all the original Toon Generations clothing and hair too I think. After you do that you have a Toon Generations for Genesis 8 (the 3rd Toon Generations version) in the scene and you just parent the clothing you have fitted on Toon Generations 2 to the Toon Generations 8 and it should work Same if you want to fit the clothing to Toon Generations 4 (also for Genesis 8). Not there may be autofit for the original Toon Generations directly to the Toon Generations for Genesis 8 (aka Toon Generations 3) and Toon Generations 4 but I don't seem to recall that being the case.

Thanks nonesuch00. It seems that the original Toon Generations was Poser format. I could not find anything similar to the fit option you mentioned for using the original Toon Generations with Toon Generations 2. Looked at a couple of videos for converting Poser to Daz3d, but they all seem to be for figures and props. The clothing was my easy out.

No, the original Toon Generations come in DAZ Studio & Poser formats but were 100% original figures and not based on any Genesis, Victoria, or Michael characters.

Did you actually load a Toon Generations 2 character in a scene and then try to add a piece of original Toon Generations clothing to it? Steps:

1) Load Toon Generations 2 character.

2) Load Toon Generation Homerun Baseball Uniform

3) autofit dialogue - Toon Generations (3D Universe)

4) same with the Baseball mitt

If you want instead to fit to a Toon Generations for Genesis 8 (aka Toon Generations 3) or Toon Generations 4 for Genesis 8 then

1) Load Toon Generations 2 character.

2) Load Toon Generation Homerun Baseball Uniform

3) autofit dialogue - Toon Generations (3D Universe) / fullbody

4) same with the Baseball mitt - Toon Generations (3D Universe) / none-not supported

5) Load a Toon Generations 3 or Toon Generations 4 character

6) Select the Toon Generations Homerun uniform in the scene tab and parent to Toon Generations 3  or Toon Generations 4

7) autofit dialogue - Genesis 3 Male / fullbody

8) same with the baseball mit - Genesis 3 Male / none-not supported

Notes:

1) baseball hat will fit but the bill/visor will crumble. You will have to use a baseball hat made for Genesis (any Genesis generation will do) and re-texture it. Or load the Toon Generations baseball hat without the character selected, and then scale and position the hat so that it looks like from the angle your camera is at it fits (it doesn't but if it looks like it does that is OK) and then drag the hat so that it is parented to the head bone. Not you can use the original Homerun hat textures too.

2) Baseball mitt as the uniform above but DAZ Studio is automatically mirroring the baseball mitt on both hands. Use the Homerun utility to hide one of them (may not work, I've not tried lately.) This bug used to not be there as I've used the baseball mitt on TG 2 like this before.

3) Baseball, Baseball Bat, Baseball Field all should be scaled bigger. I chose 175% to be "about right".

If you still have trouble ask again & I will upload the scene file you see in the example image.

Okay. Thanks. Looks like something I can work with. Appreciate it.
