Free Character Presets
![FenixPhoenix](https://www.daz3d.com/forums/uploads/userpics/841/n22W6A2RC4SG4.png)
I've decided to share some character presets with the rest of the community. Important: Keep in mind that they are technically shape presets, not morphs, which means that you'll need specific products to make them work. They don't include material options either.

AOSHI
Okay, first character is Aoshi for G3 male, originally designed to be a companion for Sakura 8 (since there doesn't seem to be a male in sight yet). The scene subset included will only work if you have Sakura 8, since it forces the eyes and brow to work with G3 (but you'll need to tweak and pose each eyebrow and eye independently).

Renders:
This is the Default Shape wearing Kenji 7 Skin:
Close Up:
This is Aoshi with Sakura 8 eyes and eyebrows parented (which you can load via the scene subpreset).
Comparison between default eyes vs wearing S8 eyes:
Aoshi as Spike from Buffy the Vampire Slayer:
I'm also attaching some emission masks I made and use to give the eyes the glow without affecting the cornea too much.
Gin for Genesis 8 (& Sakura 8)
Okay, next character (though this was done before Aoshi) is Gin for G8 Female.

very nice.
Thank you! :D
Favorite new thread! yay! :D
Thank you so very much @giselle3000 - he's adorbs, esp as spike. I've dl him but I neither have nor know how to use the GenX scripts, so I will hold off using the character until I advance a little more and have all of the assets. I just wanted to say he is wonderful. If you made regular morph presets that are similar in style and sold them, I'd definitely be in line to buy :)
Very Nice. These type of charaters never go out of style. Nice work.
These are fantastic, Giselle! I can tell you put a lot of time, effort and love into them. Thanks so much for sharing them with us!
Wohoo! Glad to see you here! :D I'm gonna share today some renders of the new character I'm working on (another possible partner for Sakura 8)!
Don't hesitate to contact me either through this thread or private message if you need help figuring out GenX (or anything else, for that matter). If I can help, I'll be more than happy to ;).
Thanks! Hope they are useful, though using Sakura 8 eyes on a Gen3M isn't issue free. The eyes would have to be moved and posed independently in the paramenter tab, rather than through the expression dials. Same with the brows. But you can always use the shapes with their normal eyes as well.
@Llynara, whoohoo! Happy to see you here as well! :D Hope any of them are useful. Aoshi was originally done just for kicks. I didn't expect so many people would like him, so once I started to package him I realized I'd used so many products. Next characters I share I'll try to limit the amount of different products I use haha.
SOJIRO
Okay, this is going to be the next character preset I'll share for G3 male. Like Aoshi, he's designed to be a companion for Sakura 8 (since there doesn't seem to be a male in sight yet). The scene subset included will only work if you have Sakura 8, since it forces the eyes and brow to work with G3 (but you'll need to tweak and pose each eyebrow and eye independently).

RENDERS
In the meantime, here's some renders of Sojiro. Let's start with his shape:
Close up (wearing Fujio's skin, with one of the eye makeup presets):
With Sakura Tests:
Added the close-up render of Sojiro. Good news is that I only used those five products I wrote above, so he should be more accesible. I also sent a message through sharecg to Tofusan. Hopefully he/she will agree to distribute the G3F head to use on G3M.
Thanks so much for making this.
My pleasure! It's my small contribution to the community, since I can't model anything yet :).
Sojiro's character preset is ready for download! You can find it here: Deviantart | ShareCG. BTW, Sojiro is using G3M eyes in the render above :).
Anime head: I didn't get a respond from Tofusan, so you'll still need GenX for that head transfer.
Inspired by your characters, I gave dial spinning a try. Have to say it was a major fail. Kudos on creating these wonderful presets.
Thank you! But trust me, I've had my fair share of... oops characters. Where I dial and mix so much, that I see the problem areas but can't fix them. So I end up just restarting from scratch. With Aoshi, for example, When I did those first renders, they were all with him looking at the camera, so the face was good enough. But when I started to package him, I realize he didn't look that well in profile, so I had to tweak him until he looked well there as well (which is why I also took so long to release him).
Wow Amazing work
Thank you :)
Now that you are making products for sale, perhaps you can create a full male Sakura companion character. One can only wish and hope :)
That would be awesome, but I know there are lots of factors to consider before deciding on a particular product.
Someone, in another thread, was trying to find a Sakura companion, and that is what reminded me of the presets you generously offered. I put the link on the page where the question was asked. Anyway, Aoshi is a fave of mine. I haven't been able to make his exact match, but I don't have all the prerequisites yet. One day, I shall get there!
If that happens, I'll be glad I put a bee in your bonnett, heh heh.
I got your comic kit (and other products) and hope to try it out soon. I really need to render more.
So I've made two mixed shapes using Kiri 9 and a combination of other morph packs, including Toon Heroes and Young Anime Heroes. I showed them up in the Kiri 9 thread, and since there was interest, I decided to package them up.
Keep in mind that when I did these, especially the male equivalent (Kyo) I wasn't thinking of sharing the preset, so I used a TON of products which you'll need if you want to recreate it. For that reason, I'm also attaching the "recipes" (dials used) in case you'd like to try replacing dials from one product with another. You can see a list of the products used (that I remember) in this gallery entry.
You can find the presets here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1MVOgh_6IQjGw58qFJ4XljiXVbJ18p7cY/view?usp=share_link
The renders I'm showing use our Toon Textures and Toon Alternate Textures (Blush and Alternate Eyelashes) and are rendered with some bloom to give them an even softer look.

They look cute as can be!
That is very kind of you.
