Even if you ripped the meshes from the Sims or NBA whatever, they'd be too lores to have much appeal. Poser is a whole 'nother animal. While some prefer faeries and fantasy, the fun of 3D for many others is making it as real as possible and you can't get much more real than a real person. The market is definitely there but many lawyers will make mucho dinero in the process. I imagine that as with the VCR and the internet, the adult entertainment industry will be on the forefront here. I may be wrong but I doubt many big name "mainstream" folks are going to open their digital selves up to the myriad of potential uses a Poser type program permits, even with the EULAs. Now acting as your "virtual guide" to Yahoo, 3D beer ads, etc. would be different - more control and probably more money. Maybe Metacreations wasn't crazy after all, just premature. The rest of us will have to make do with lesser luminaries ala Dina Vanoni It will be interesting...
