Fellas For Poser/DAZ studio

Files inside:
Folder: BaseStarterFiles 
(Original Mesh Objects of new falla freated from Old Fella): For you to modify and improve.
I WOULD APPRECIATE IT IF YOU DO :-)

Folder: Runtime (Extract into your poser runtime/DAZ studio runtime)
--> geometries (all mesh objects used by poser fella)
--> character (3 types of poser fella, basic(no hands), Loose hands, Built in hands)
--> hair ( Fella ears/horns), to cap over the ones on the fella character files.




Fella is the official mascot for Deviantart (www.deviantart.com), which all deviants know. No one knows what Fella realy is, neither do I,which is a very devious character that has pointed ears or horns, is it a little demon or is it a cat, or is it an emoti-chappy?. But he is a cute sentient who has been around since ever I had been on deviantart since 2002. 

Once I wanted to do a deviation(artwork) of Fella and there was not any 3D repurces I knew of, but a helpfull deviant came along the way and showed me some files some deviants made for 3D studio etc. But times have changed and so has Fella in a way. I decided to make a Fella for poser and DAZ studio, myself, using the original static mesh objects. But a lovely deviant who makes Fella PSDs in the new form suggested a change, so i thaught, and he wanted hands. I originaly started by practicing with the original meshes, and never could get it right... Fella was cracking up... braking up, as if he was made of eggshells, if ever you put bones to the mesh and move the limbs.. or what things thats supposed to be limbs.

I decided to use the original mesh objects, made by :

So they get credit in this project, since they papicitated in the deviantart comunity and without there original source meshes, I may have never knew when to start. I loaded them , used the New fella PSD's the Fella Plushy photo by : as a reference.. and modified the mesh accordingly...

Then took me a while to get the bones right, since having personal problems on deviantart, such as deviation was misinterpreted as a policy violation because of containing sensual content... and other things... so i staggered, and it was a toy to play with, a virtual Fella Plushy, that I was making.Then eventualy i got it right, and fella wasnt cracking!! and his body parts bend and stuff. Then I got hands, put them on him, but did it two ways, one having 2 separete figures (the loose hands Fella) and the other where a new mesh was created from the loose hands one). Yup still did not get the bones 100% as hands tear if you force them to much, so i suggest enabeling the limits...boning the hands was time consuming... It would be alot easier if i had better software.. as poser is very fidgity, and the figure mesh degrades everytime you make an adjustment and save.. thats why you have to keep the original, and replace degraded mesh once its complete. Also other anomolies occur in poser, such as some functions in jouint editer grey etc etc after your pc has been running for a while and after so many changes had been done.

Then the only thing needs to be fixed are Fella's ears/horns, since the new Fella has them lighter than the eyes, and old same colour as eyes and I dont know how to make new colour parts to separate the eyes colour from the ears/horns, so i went to 3D studio again, and saved them separete and made them a hair prop. and stuck it over the original , so if you dont want them, you can remove and have the originals exposed.

Most of all I included the full mesh objects which you can use to perfect things ... and carry on where i left. I wanted to add in a mouth etc... but maybe later sometime next year or something or you can do it :-) and continue the project :-) and please link to this deviation, since this deviation will link to the original source files made for 3D studio Max of the old fella.

Enjoy and have fun, you free to modify, use etc and lots of love and hugs, 
Remember Deviant Apreciation Day is Everyday.
