Kut-Outs for Kids (DIY Paper Dolls) Using Daz Studio 4

Step-by-Step Guide to creating your own printable toys

The purpose of this tutorial is to show you how to create some "real" toys for the children in your life using virtual tools like DAZ Studio and The GIMP. The techniques demonstrated can be applied to other 3D apps and Photoshop as well. Growing up we have all seen and probably played with "paper dolls" at one time or another. From dress up girls to military men with weapons, there is as much fun in creating these for adults as there is for children cutting out and playing with them.

The techniques demonstrated in this tutorial can be applied to almost any 3D figure/character. Why not bring a little joy into the life of your son/daughter, niece/nephew or any other child you know and love. The things you create will be one-of-a-kind gifts with your own personal touches. It just doesn't get better than that. This fully illustrated colorful 90-page PDF covers the following topics:
