Description Why Michael as Joker, you might ask. Michael is the standard male 3D model for DAZ (posing 3D software). I painstakingly and manually modified Michael’s face to look like Joker using the program face/body modification feature. It works similarly to when you create your own custom Shepard and you can change eyes, nose, lips, jaw [etc].

So! What do you think guys? Does Michael look like our snarky pilot? Success or not?

For comparison this is what Michael normally looks like:

By the by, Michael is also the one who provides Joker with THAT smoking-hot body you see in my pictures when he’s out his uniform

Wow, yes he does look like him. Nice work with Michaeal in DAZ, I've been working with G3 to create my team from Surviving, it's harder than it looks to get the faces right. Hats off to you and well done.

I bought the head copy thing but it's so finicky and the picture you use has to be perfect.

To be honest with you he doesn’t look like Joker from other angles, apart from the one you’re looking at, plus the cap, uniform and beard do help immensely with the illusion too. He still does resemble him though, but more like Joker’s brother or something (then again even Joker without the beard doesn’t look like Joker either! LoL) So no, it’s not perfect and I did hit the maximum I could assign to certain features like the bridge of the nose or the mouth area that in Joker sits a quite a bit further out. I’m sure there are mods you can buy that would allow more flexibility, but I don’t have them. So, this is the best I got.

“I've been working with G3 to create my team [..]”

Pardon my ignorance. What is G3? I’m so out of touch with this sort stuff lately...

“it's harder than it looks to get the faces right”

Oh yes, particularly if you’re doing it manually. I just wanted a DAZ Joker because the facial expressions you can create there are way better than what you can do with XNALara (don’t know if you tried it). It’s all down to how the model was rigged, but since it’s open-source I can’t really complain, in fact quite the opposite, I grateful to whoever ripped Joker’s model from the game and made it XNA compatible. Now if some generous soul would rip MacCready’s model for me... *sigh* I could make some wicked cross-overs with him and our Shep.

“the head copy thing” < You got me with that one too, I’m afraid

I use both Daz and Xnalara (most of my pics with game characters are done in Xnalara) - still trying to find a way to port from one to the other without having to go through other software. Thank goodness for those who rip the characters for Xnalara though - trying to do it but it never seems to work for me. But yeah, the facial animations are not the greatest in Xnalara.

G3 - Genesis 3 male in Daz (sorry about the confusion) - I've found him to be a very versatile model. Stokes   - was built around him.

The head copy thing - Headshot One Click - it's an add on for Daz that allows you to use a photo or image to make a model look like a real person.

If you're working in Daz the head morphs add ons can be very useful, gives you so many more options. Sometimes you'll find them on the free stuff page in the Daz shop - I've got lots of things from there.

I initially thought it was Joker from the game until I read the description. So yes to me he definitely looks like him.

Really fantastic
