After reading your posts and the rants going off in this one I do have a few questions. In your original post you said; "And here occurs a problem for me. I'll explain how it comes from a real picture to a Poser-pose. I can't use an image from a well-known person for this 'cause I simply don't have the rights to use those images. So - I'm searching for some real-image-poses: a standing - or in motion - one (you might know the Shania Twain one I'm using for my Website-tutorial something in that direction)" In brief you said you can not use someone famous and then 2 paragraphs later you state that you use Shania Twain? Is she not famous? If you are only using the "pose" what does it matter what they look like or if they are famous, how can you copyright the way someone poses (hey don't walk like that, that is my walk I swear I'll sue) I understand that you intend to use in a magazine, have you ever tried to contact the copyright holder for the image of the famous person(s) to see if you could use it? There are some royalty free images that you could probably use, you may have to pay for some though. Your poses BTW are excellent and I do know what it is like to get (or not) reference materials. I am not ranting at this post I am just pointing out were my confusion came from, from your original message. Please do not take this the wrong way and keep up the excellent work you do.
