Introduction

Vivid Mesh Studios presents Bram, the chaotic and mischievous toddler of The Grimsleys stylized vampire family. Don't let his small stature fool you—Bram brings a massive dose of bite-sized terror and untamed energy to the pack. Perfect for injecting humor into whimsical horror projects, animated sitcoms, or stylized games, Bram offers an incredibly expressive, caricaturized toddler silhouette that is guaranteed to disrupt any peaceful Character Creator 5 or iClone scene.

Design Concept

Bram’s design perfectly captures the essence of a smug, hyperactive toddler with a gothic twist. Standing at a diminutive scale, he features pale purple skin, large piercing purple eyes, and prominent pointed ears. His defining feature is his wild, gravity-defying spiked hair, perfectly matching his untamed personality. His casual, playful wardrobe consists of a bright blue graphic tee playfully reading "Lil' Monster," paired with denim shorts and matching blue and yellow sneakers, making him ready to run rampant through any gothic castle.

Special Features

• Unique Wardrobe & Custom Hair: Bram comes fully equipped with his bespoke "Lil' Monster" toddler outfit, sneakers, and his signature wild, spiky hairstyle.

• CC5 SubD HD System: Utilizes Character Creator 5's Subdivision Level 2 to give Bram his perfectly smooth, rounded toddler proportions and high-fidelity clothing folds without bogging down your scene with heavy base geometry.

• ActorMIXER Integration: Fully compatible with ActorMIXER. Blend Bram’s unique diminutive stature and stylized toddler components with your existing character library to generate completely new stylized monster kids or gremlins.

• Refined CC5 Facial Expressions: Equipped with comprehensive facial profile optimization and custom blendshape editing perfectly suited for his smug smirks, mischievous grins, and toddler tantrums. Bram also includes the family's signature custom "Vampire" expression—an exaggerated, open-mouth smile showcasing his tiny fangs.

• Stylized Textures: Hand-crafted material sets that perfectly capture the Vivid Mesh "whimsical horror" style, complete with vibrant colors and high-resolution details on his graphic tee and denim.
