Here's my hommage to the legendary Mannequin from Silent Hill 2! Originally devised for the 2001 PS2 classic, the original figure has haunted me ever since I've picked up the game back in the day. Having recently played the 2024 remake by Bloober Team, I wanted to see if I can re-create the mannequin in Daz Studio using two Genesis 9 figures and a bit of fiddling. It worked! I'm going to use this creature for an upcoming promo in the background.
I used the basic Genesis 9 Female shape, removed the upper half in Daz Studio, then blended both figures together using two ZBrush morphs. Once done, I packed the remaining 9 UV islands onto one using Blender, then did the skin texture from scratch in Substance Painter. The outfit is not follower clothing, instead it's drawn on and finished off with path layers. I've exported the textures and backed them back to the original UV layout using SimpleBake in Blender.
Enjoy!
