How to Make a 3D Goth Doll

Many people like to make 3D figures that they can then use to create 2D renders, either for fun or profit. Using a program like Poser, it is possible to take one of the standard figures and customize it to suit your needs. If you want a figure that looks like a Goth doll, you can do this using Poser and the models that come with it or the models you add from other sources.

Instructions

    • 1

      Select the Poser figure you want to make into your Goth doll. You can use either the preloaded figures that come with the program, or you can download and install one of the figures like "Victoria 4" or "Michael 4" that you can get at daz3d.com.

      Go to daz3d.com and renderosity.com and purchase (or download from the free area) the black clothing, black hair and chains you will need. You may be able to find a complete goth outfit you can download. Once you have the items, click on them to install them to the Poser libraries.

      Download from daz3d.com and renderosity.com a Goth-type skin texture to apply to your figure. This texture needs to be pale or pasty white with black lips and black shadows around the eyes. If you cannot find a texture you want to use, you can try with a graphics program like Photoshop to open one of the figure textures and modify it. These textures are found in the Poser/Runtime/Textures folder.
