Myself: Poser4 to create and pose the figures, Bryce5 to build the world around them and take the virtual photo and PhotoPaint9 to do any darkroom-ish tweaks! (works for me). As to the nudity, the bare female form is one of the mainstays of classical art. I still love to work with it, having always found it a fascinating source of ideas. (I started with pencils based on early Playboy images and graduated to oils with my first painting (nude) at 14. I have been drawing, painting, photographing and now modelling ever since.) - so I can understand, which is what I wanted to say. I suspect that there are a lot of frustrated photographers/sculptors over there that just either do not have the opportunity or the skills/patience to work with the real human form and poser lets them at it.

Pass no temptation lightly by, for one never knows when it may pass again!
