Meet New Non-Pro Anis
Posted: December 19th, 2024, 2:06 pm
I mentioned I wanted to create a brand new "species" of an ani and I was able to complete that tonight. This is "Casual Joe". He replaces the Eric and Russell anis from back in the day that didn't have a hat. The good news is that he was created from the S01 (Sergio with Hat) model and all the faces and apparel that I've ever created works beautifully with him. Obviously I've removed the hat and given him a very traditional side part hair style. I've given him a little junk in the trunk and you can tell he never misses an opportunity at the 19th hole for a brewsky or two.
My goal when I got Maya was to create all the different variations of anis (regular hat, flat hat, bucket hat, visor, no hat, knickers) and I've been able to do that now. My next goal is to create an ani off of this one to replace Matt (the ani with shorts and a hat). The very cool thing with Casual Joe is that I can create an assortment of hair styles for different ages and ethnicities. In other words, Casual Joe will have brothers and cousins coming soon.
This version of Casual Joe has 20 faces, 20 pants, 20 shirts and 14 pair of shoes. Some of the examples are below. Please ignore the apparel at this point as that part hasnt been completed yet. Once I have him complete I will make him available on my website and announce it here.
