Hotei the Laughing Buddha

This one is near and dear to me, although it may not suit the tastes of many people. Hotei is a Buddhist deity and one of the Seven Gods of Fortune. He is often mistaken for Buddha himself, because some consider him to be an incarnation of Maitreya. According to legend, he was once an eccentric Chan monk, always laughing and smiling, and offering bits of wisdom to those who encountered him. Statues of him can be found throughout SE Asia, and it is said to be good luck to rub his belly.

    Thanks, I should have mentioned that its a morph for Genesis 3 Male.

    I just wish there was a suitable robe for him.

    Most Genesis 2 clothing works pretty well on Genesis 3 with autofit

    Not going to work for Hotei, but there are some free clothes for G3M: https://poserdazfreebies.miraheze.org/wiki/Genesis_3_Male/Wardrobe

    I'm separating out the morphs so that people can mix/match. The ears, body, and head will be separate morphs, and there will be a Hotei dial which combines them if desired.

    By the way, I highly recommend that people buy Capsces Tooned Expressions for The Guy 7. A truly excellent package to get exaggerated expressions.

    Download link added. I'm a bit nervous about this one, because of the multiple components. Let me know if you guys experience any problems.

    *giggles about the pictures with the separated morphs*

    Uhm ... page not found for the link?

    Auch bei buddistischen Mönchen?

  • MythconsMythcons Posts: 123

    Sorry, I found some problems with the morph and had to suspend the link. It will be up soon enough.

    The more that goes into the morph, the more complicated it gets to roll it out without flaws. My apologies.

  • KeryaKerya Posts: 10,943

    Patience is a virtue. I am trying to improve on it ...

  • KeryaKerya Posts: 10,943

    By the way: if you like to fiddle with Daz Dynamic Clothes ... there are "Nagalingeswaran" for M4 for free: http://www.optitex-dynamiccloth.com/FreebieDownload12.php

    Thanks! I will have to play around with it a lot more, though, because this is as good as I could get it.

  • MythconsMythcons Posts: 123

    Thanks, Kerya. :)

    The original link is now active. Unfortunately, I had to sacrifice diversity for stability. It is now a single morph, but I was able to channel some of the time towards adding a few JCMs so that he deforms better.

    Here is the link again (can also be found in the first post): http://www.sharecg.com/v/84504/browse/21/DAZ-Studio/Hotei-for-Genesis-3-Male

  • MythconsMythcons Posts: 123

    I'm thinking about enlisting volunteers to beta test freebies in the future, and maybe work together on projects. Another set of eyes would be helpful. If anyone is interested, I can be reached at [email protected].

  • MythconsMythcons Posts: 123

    Files have been updated. There was a problem with the teeth which has been corrected. Now I can work towards improvements rather than fixes.

    Thank you for your interest. She is on hold. She needs more work. Maybe we'll see more of her this coming week.

  • MythconsMythcons Posts: 123

    Update required to fix a JCM issue. The ERC links to the JCMs were broken while fixing the teeth. They should now only be triggered when using Hotei. crying

  • MythconsMythcons Posts: 123

    Massive improvements in the latest update. I have finally corrected all existing issue, but if you notice anything wonky, please let me know.

    Note: If you downloaded this morph prior to 4/5/2016, you MUST delete the folder contents (e.g. 'My DAZ Library/data/DAZ 3D/Genesis 3/Male/Morph/Mythcons/Hotei') before installing this one. Otherwise you risk duplicate formula errors and other morphing wonkiness).

    Sorry for any inconvenience. At least I know what not to do in the future.

  • could u please tell me how to morph only ears ??

    You can't with DAZ Studio or that morph on their own but if you buy this products then you'd be able to:
