Hi,

All is in the title :)

I would like to know how it is possible to create a 3D people like genesis, or morph? And what about create a toon figure like this for example http://www.daz3d.com/skye.

What do I need, is there any tutorial?

Thanks for your help.

    To start with you need to "purchase" and download Daz Studio, and Genesis Starter Essentials and Genesis 2 Starter essentials.

    This is all free. http://www.daz3d.com/home click the "get started here" button which will take you to this page https://www.daz3d.com/get_studio.

    You can use the free Daz Install Manager (DIM) and then prceed to use that to download and install Daz Studio, and the content that comes with it

    When they make the product pages, they seldom update them. That is actually one of the older figures.
    If you go to the vendors' pages: i.e. http://www.daz3d.com/3d-universe
    you will find the more recent characters listed first.
    Look for those that are morphs for Genesis. You can dial in as much or little of the morph as you want ... you can also mix 'n match morphs. Rather fun.

    I think you don't understand my question, sorry for my english ;)

    My question is : How to create a new people or toon by myself and maybe sell it.

    As creating hair, posture, clothe, is it possible to create people and toon?

    Thanks

    Have you ever done any 3D modelling? Creating even toon characters requires a lot of skill with a modelling program. Do you do any modelling already, and if so, what modelling program do you use?

    The simplest way to create a new toon character, would be to use one of the Genesis or Genesis 2 figures as a starting point, and then creating your own morphs to make it into the shape that you want. It is no simple matter, and I don't know of any tutorials for that kind of thing.

    I made some of 3d modeling, some little obj.

    I used hexagon

    And with morph can we save the toon after doing it?

    Yes you can save the morphs in DAZ Studio. If you want to create a new character to sell, then you would need to create the morphs yourself, you can't use any of the morph packages that you buy, and the sell them as your own work. Just to clear that up.

    There is a bridge between DAZ Studio and Hexagon, you would send the base Genesis character (or whatever you decide to use) over to Hexagon, and begin work there. When finished, you would send the model back to DAZ Studio, and Morph Loader Pro will create a morph for the new shape.

    You cannot add or remove any vertices when doing this, and it is not a simple matter to create a whole new character that way, but it would be easier than starting from scratch yourself.

    There are tutorials available for creating morphs in DS/Hexagon, and Patience55 may be able to help you there, and give some advice.

    Yes one can create "from scratch" a figure in Hexagon ... toon or any other kind as well.

    Creating any figure is a lot of work and not AFAIK [as far as I know] exactly a good beginner's project.

    On Youtube.com one can search for tutorials to model a head, hands, etc.
    Also in the Hexagon Thread there are a few more people who can help with answers for modeling questions. Everybody has a different way of doing any one task and we all learn lots of neat things in there.
    There are several learning tutorials suggested in the Hexagon thread which are good to work through simply to learn how to use some of the tools. Hexagon like any modeling program has its quirks.

    There is also a "Merchant Resource" mesh which is sold at Daz3D which looks rather toonlike to start with. Very basic and as soon as you start remaking the mesh the uvmap will need to be redone. That is normal.
    http://www.daz3d.com/puppet-merchant-resource-base-mesh You have to make changes to it before you can sell it.
