Get yer fat bellies here

I haven't been able to download these and open 'em up yet. These are just the bellies and not the maternity dresses, right?

In any case, thanks, Ziggy!]]> Tue, 11 Oct 2016 06:01:57 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic5946-3d-artists-chubby-bellies-and-other-parts.aspx Message from tonyob67 ziggy72 wrote:

Would these be bellies with navels and stuff, or just belly shapes so they could be part of the character's clothes? I'd love a Beefy belly, but I think chubby bellies for the ladies would open up a lot of story possibilities too. In addition to pregnant ladies, it'd just offer a little more body diversity.

Would these do, Mindi? I can see now why Muvizu didn't want to do it - it's tricky to get the bump lined up because the characters stand at funny angles. Also, you would have to paint the texture onto the bump to match the clothing (for characters like the one on the right), but I have UV mapped the bump so it's easy enough to change. I'm wondering if I should add a belly button as well...

Cool Ziggy..Thank you]]> Sat, 08 Oct 2016 20:59:51 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic5946-3d-artists-chubby-bellies-and-other-parts.aspx Message from PatMarrNC
Thanks to Ziggy for responding to a forum request in such a timely and excellent way!

Only works on standard 'potato heads', and takes a bit of adjustment to get it to sit right depending on what the character is doing. But hey, it's better than nothing I guess

How well they'll integrate (with male characters and the like) is another matter, but I'll get back to the lab and do more research...]]> Thu, 29 Sep 2016 14:06:00 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic5946-3d-artists-chubby-bellies-and-other-parts.aspx Message from mindiflyth
Thanks so much for the tips about working with 3D objects guys! I've been dealing with some health stuff the last couple of months and I've fallen way behind on my Muvizuing (Muvizuage? Muvizuery?) but once I get back into the swing I'll definitely be revisiting this info.]]> Thu, 29 Sep 2016 01:56:01 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic5946-3d-artists-chubby-bellies-and-other-parts.aspx Message from ziggy72 mindiflyth wrote:

For character Attachments

idea joggers for whoever decides to work on this:
1) Bubble Butt the Bootie Babe
2) Pauline Preggers
3) Estrogen Bill, the maestro of man-boobs
4) Popeye (Swollen ankles and wrists)

My big problem with trying to do this is that the models always import as gray (and much too big or too small)

This is where those base characters that Ikes and Ziggy put together come in handy... you can load one into your modelling program and size your accessories to match it. (note: you'll need to experiment to get the base characters sized right so exporting it to Muvizu it will come in at the same size as the characters. Once your base models are sized right, anything you size to them should import at very close to the right size.

and they appear really far from the attachment point,

OK, this is an easy one to fix. Any time you save something that's going to end up in Muvizu (especially as an attachment), think about where it will attach to the character, and move the model so the attachment point is at XYZ=0. When your model opens in Muvizu, it will be located as far away from the attachment point as it was from the XYZ origin in your modelling program

so it's a real struggle to get them the right color, adjust them to the right size and get them in the right place. I'm sure I'm missing some obvious step here.

see above for missing step regarding distance from attachment point. Regarding coming in gray... are you creating ASE files? or FBX?

Speedking5, those characters look great! They make me think of the old underground comics. You've taken it far enough that people might not even guess they were made in Muvizu.

Clayster, I really hope you do get a chance to do something with this. Your designs are always really impressive and finished-looking.

that's a very affirming statement Mindiflyth! I'm sure clayster and Speedking both appreciate your kind words!]]> Tue, 27 Sep 2016 23:59:32 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic5946-3d-artists-chubby-bellies-and-other-parts.aspx Message from mindiflyth

I've done a little experimenting myself with 3D programs, trying to make this happen, but I'm still a noob and it seems like some of the other artists here would probably do a much better job. If somebody wanted to make a "fat pack" and sell it in the store, I'd buy!]]> Mon, 26 Sep 2016 04:55:50 GMT
