Description

So, after thinking about it a bit more, I went ahead and picked up the Cory bundle. And then, just so I could say I'd used them all at least once, I put all my toon guys (except Hiro and Freak, who kind of don't count) into this image.

From left to right:
- Lucas, Genesis version, with GenX'd Guy 4 morphs (we've seen him before), and that's as close to pure Guy 4 as I will ever get;
- Max Muscles, GenX2 to G2M; oddly, Max doesn't have a texture, so he's using Philip's base male texture, which ... doesn't quite work, I think
- 3D Universe's Jason, GenX2 to G2M just for the hell of it, and his head size reduced 10%, because he just looked really wrong somehow;
- Cory 6 default
- Kirk for Cory 6 default
- Kirk for Cory 6 with Gianni dialed in

And some of the guys are even using Island Boys poses, just so I could say that I had used them once. (Actually ... they look like they could be fairly useful pose presets for some things. Who knew?)

So, a few things. First, now that I have him and can work with him ... I really kind of cordially dislike Cory 6 base. I mean ... a lot. A LOT. I couldn't quite tell you why, but I just really ... don't like him. But I don't regret buying him, as it turns out.

Cory works shockingly well as a contributor to a character shape, as long as he's not full strength. Kirk's default uses Cory's body at 60%, and Cory's head at 40%, and I was surprised to discover that I kind of like Kirk's default. I think maybe his promos threw me off somehow, since I had thought I wouldn't like him at all.

Moreover, it looks like Cory might combine with other shapes very well. Kirk with 60% Cory body and 100% Gianni body works as a muscly toonish look. (Though, that said, Kirk overall is surprisingly UNtoonish for something based on Cory. I would describe him more as lightly stylized rather than a toon.) I did have to pull back on Gianni's head; it was just way too much combined with Cory's at higher strengths. That head is full strenth on Kirk's custom morph, 40% Cory, 30% Gianni base and 10% Mighty Gianni head 1.

If I can ever figure out what, if any, toon aesthetic I might have, it looks like Cory will be useful, if nothing else.
