So, I’m totally sold at making NPC handout at the moment, not really sure why I make some fantasy ones when I got a pulp adventure to finish, but I will make it anyway. I call it artistic freedom or something. I might use it, I have three DnD adventures waiting to be finished, so much to do, so little time.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

We jump right into DAZ Studio 3<\/a> and start to create. This time we start out with Michael 3.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We add a head morph for a more Orch like face, check those ears.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Now, we add a body morph to him, see how ugly he gets.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Now, a green goblin goblin skin.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And a more aggressive pose.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Time to fix the face, what really matters, but it is so fun posing the rest of the body too, and it gives the right shadows when rendering too.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Added some reddish Orch eyes, turning his face more monsterous.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And here is the first render, not very good at all. That green color only look good in a distance. So I changed the texture to a human skin texture.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Now we’re talking, but I still think he looks to nice, too much Shrek and too little Uruk-Hai. So, I changed texture again, this time a vampire texture, looks good on anOrch too.\"\"<\/p>\n

But, I wont stop here. This will be a dreadfully long post I think. I need a good NPC too, something of a Wizard or a Cleric. This time we start with Michael 4, and here is the PowerLoader screen when loading a module. All the mods you have installed are shown here.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Finally Michael 4 is loaded. The more you enable, the longer is the loading time, and I couldn’t decided what to do, and still haven’t figured out really which mod affect what so I took them all.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We start with adding Long Beard. Why did I start to sing “Hey mister Taliban you tally me bananas…”<\/em>?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Adding some clothes, wizard or cleric style.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We need to fix that bare chest though, so a tunic would be good, and found one. I also turned the beard gray and added some hair.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Adjusting the tunic wasn’t easy, but I think I got the hang of it, looks more like a kilt now though.After changing the pose, it needed some tweaking.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

So, now I got it, turned the head a little too.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Now I added a prop that is the inside of a temple or something similar. I put our old man inside. The screenshot is a little dark though, but you get the picture.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And here he is, a smiling, nice and gentle old NPC to help the helpless adventurers.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

So, what do you think? Is this a good way of showing your players the NPCs they meet, to give them a little extra life?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
