AstroBoy Online Forums

Does anyone know of any sites with a 3D Astroboy model that I can convert to Poser format for creating Astroboy Animations? :wacko:

Hmmm the only 3D models i know of are a Quake Astroboy model, which i can send to you if you want, and awhile ago a guy did a short 3d video clip to the techno astroboy theme. The only other thing i can think of is the AfterDark screensaver... but i don't know if the characters in that were true 3D and haven't gotten my hands on the program yet either >_<

...and then there is the Sims model... but i don't know if that could be used ^^; I suggest you create your own model I would make one but i havent had enough experience with 3D programs i've been using at Uni yet.

I think there was a Quake 2 model of Astroboy around on the Internet somewhere. I don't know if you'd be able to use it, but you could always run a search for it and give it a go.

Hey, simultaneous post!

Well I have no idea what format Quake 2 uses but if it can be converted to DXF, 3DS, or OBJ I can convert it to something I can use in Poser. I'm not much of a modeler myself but I am learning how to animate using already created models. I have a couple Animated Astroboy Windows Cursors available to anyone who wants em. B)

I did a quick google search and found a few of them, tho I don't they're all avalable in a 3D file format. The creators emails are there, so you could ask.
At least one is avalable from the first link, the quake model's avalable for download in Lightwave 3D format. There should be converters or programs that can import the model to be saved as a compatible format.

I think with some more searching a couple others might be found.

Thanks for those links! I chased down the Quake model and will try to convert it. The LWO file is remaining elusive for now but I did find another author of an LWO file that has facial expressions as well. I left some posts and emails around seeking Astor and Giant Robot from Johnny Socko's Flying Robot. Also spent about 30 minutes making my own original Ultraman Avatar for all these new forums I'm finding. Hope you like it! B)

Oops! Edited cuz it posted twice. <sigh> Guess I shouldn't try posting on one PC while I work on my artwork on another. Doh!
