I have got my fetus model ready for uploading, but before I decide whether to upload it, please I would welcome some advice:- - I don't want to upload a model that might be used a lot for "inappropriate purposes". - I don't want to upload anything that might be considered to be "sick". - I don't want to upset anyone who has memories related to anything like this. See the thread at this link. The Renderosity #1 cover picture referred to was by Kromekat and is called "Dreamer of Dreams" and is of a fetus in the womb wearing a virtual reality headset and seeing a small image of another of his own kind; in the accompanying article Kromekat complained about lack of a posable fetus model; it prompted me to do something with a non-posable model that had been gathering dust in my computer for a long time. (When I scaled its head smaller I noticed a resulting resemblance to some of the aliens in the movie CE3K = Close encounters of the Third Kind.)

I think there can be no models, including rubber ducks who can't be used for "inapropriate" purpose. I don't get sick seeing a foetus which is a very joyful thing, and a lot of models who have been purposely built for sick purposes are uploaded and downloaded every day. Maybe it will be useful for some medical pic, as DAZ muscle maps ? Nobody ever protested against them. So, if I were in your place, I would upload it. Pierre

All models get used for inappropriate uses (whatever that is). Someone will always object to something. Someone will consider this sick. Someone will be bothered by bad memories when seeing this. This said, the same holds true for everything loaded here. I think it's more likely to be used as an alien than an actual fetus, just because when you stretch it out it does look a lot like the aliens in Close Encounters (and a little like ET). I'm sure someone will morph him to make him closer to the movie aliens, or have him jumping out of Ragbash's belly.

Yup- load it Can't please all the people all the time.- Don't even try!

Anthony, I didn't even know all this things. Excuse my English ! Shame on you ! :) Pierre

Sorry.

Anthony, I think this model would be a valuable asset to the community. Like many things, it can be viewed from any number of perspectives. I see it as a symbol for life itself, and as such must be considered to be beautiful. I for one recall the final scene of the film 2001 and think of that beautiful image when I see a fetus model, and to have a poseable one would be a good thing even if some people feel otherwise.

Anthony! - I see no harm in it whatsoever - I was amazed at the fuss a few individuals made over my cover image, but was aware that some of the upset was more sour grapes than offence, but 'there's nowt as quear as folk'!' as the saying goes! ;) - btw, I didn't 'complain' that there wasn't a posable Foetus model, I was implying it would be useful for some applications! ;)
