Bikdingle Dark Elf Ears Morph for Genesis 8 Male

Bikdingle Dark Elf Ears morph for Genesis 8 Male

************************************************************

My preference for elf ears has always been elf ears of the Anime variety, longer and more prominent than the standard that has arisen in media since 2001.
Over the years I've developed my own elf ear morph for these (I started back in Poser doing this) and previously released Elf and Dark Elf Ear Morphs for Genesis 8 Female. As I move ahead and release some male characters, I needed sets of elf ears so here they are.
There is no real standard in anime for elf ears other than that they are long. These elf ears are horizontal rather than the more conventional swept back elf ears. I only decided to name them ‘Dark Elf’ because an anime style dark elf is where I first decided to use these.
I offer them here for free as a single morph.
Enjoy

Hair and Elf Ears
A copy of the following information accessible within Daz Studio is included in the product as a PDF.

One of the issues with most elf ears is their interaction with G8 hair.

I use Zev0's Projection Morph Manager (available at Daz) to deal with this issue and remove the 'draping' of the hair over the ears.
