Looking for models of children

[Marco Skoll]

Being specific, I'm looking for kids in the 3 to 8 year old range, in a broadly realistic style. (So no TF2, cel-shaded or anime style, please).

I've already searched several sites/workshops (SFM & GMod workshops, SFMLab, Garrysmod.org, DeviantArt, ModelsResource) for obvious keywords ("child", "kid", "boy", "girl" and "young"), but I'm sure I've missed a lot of character ports that were posted without such useful keywords and basically everything I've found is older children, mostly aged about 9-14.

Older kids weren't exactly unhelpful, but I've now got enough of those (particularly as I can extract more from Fallout or Skyrim) so I'm now hoping that the community know of any younger children that I might have missed on my hunt.

I'll even take suggestions of things like XNA models if you know of them.

Uh, what exactly are you going to use these models for?

ugh, dirty minds are suspicious first. what you get when you google 'kids 3d models'? a toy story. expand the horizon and you get a plethora of hero and potector stories. i could even flashback a grown up person into a past life that was all good not knowing all of this present.

@marco skoll it's hard too google. and that is safe. i don't wanna bing this. their filter is so bad, i could face things i might want to unsee afterwarsds. so... i'm out.

Variously to help fill out crowd scenes, or to play secondary or tertiary characters in the science-fantasy setting I'm working on.

I'm not asking for anyone to Google. Anything I would be able to find through a search for generic keywords is something I can find myself.

I want people to point me to models they already know exist, hidden without useful keywords* or buried in character packs.
(* For example, Ellie from The Last of Us is on the workshop, but has a pretty blank workshop description, so I only found her because I knew she'd been ported).

okay. you only want ported models? well... you're screwed then. workshop is not the place. gotta figure how many people would upload and play with random children models? i dunno. o_O

your age restriction doesn't make that alot easier. barely done. even if, you may only find those on model sites for some cash and you may have to port them yourself. that's as far as i can see.

What.....time era exactly? I just started playing Bioshock Infinite and there's a ton of them in the game if you want to get them ported, but they all wear early 20th century style clothing.

Maybe you could use the heads of the children and headhack them onto other bodies or something, I dunno. that sounds way worse than I thought now that I think of it

Not at all. Source models would avoid me needing to get the materials ported over, but honestly, I'm inevitably going to put anything I eventually decide to use through Blender to customise it, so I'm not that fussed about format.

Rigged formats are preferred but, ultimately, if I want to use the model, I'll take anything that's not a complete pain in the butt to get into Blender.

Given how many action films have a parent trying to rescue their child, or a hero risking themselves to save a kid, I'm more surprised that people haven't been thinking that way.

It won't, but I think I've found enough models of older children that I'm now specifically looking for younger ones.

In any case, I wouldn't be asking if I was finding it particularly easy to find.

Ideally, modern day, but the heads looking about the right age is more important.

If I have to, it's easier to re-proportion the bodies I've already got to look the right age than adjusting faces. (I could - one of my party tricks in my other life is sculpting faces for miniature figurines - but I'd just rather do it the easy way).

Bioshock is a little on the cartoonish side, but I do have it in my game library, so I guess it's worth a look to see if anything's of use.

I'm having the same problem!

What are you planning to use them for? FNaF?

[Marco Skoll]

Son of a...

... the discussion is three years old, and I already answered the question of what I was going to use them for back in Post #3.
