Be careful with TurboSquid items... some of their meshes have been "appropriated" without knowledge or permission of the creators. (You'll probably recognize these when you see them!) The DAZ rat, now in the Loft, is godawful. I bought it a couple of years ago and it is far and away the worse and most useless item I have purchased. The new Mousie, their Platinum Club only, is a lot better in terms of modeling and poasability, however it is a cartoon mouse. The legs are all wrong if you are doing natural scenes. (If you are doing "Simon Little"-type pictures, you'll be just fine.) If you get this, you'll need to look up Little Dragon's files in Free Stuff in order to have morphs to open the mouth and move the eyes. The Lab Rat model might be the same one I found at another 3dModels site... about 100K polygons and well-shaped. It was not Poserized, or even UVMapped, though. I can check my archives, but I think it is 3ds. Little Dragon is the one with the database, you might ask him. Carolly
