heyas; okay, i figured it out. there was this disgruntled 3dmax/maya user. iron maiden went to him (or her) and said, 'this is our cover concept, can you do all that in 3d?' and the max guy said 'oh sure, i can do that. now i'll have to hand-model all those figures by myself, that'll take a couple weeks each and be 5,000$ per figure.' and the iron maiden reps said, 'er, i DONT think so! we don't have THAT kind of time or money.' so the disgruntled max guy disguised himself as a poser user and re-applied for the job saying, 'oh, yes, i can have this done in one week for 500$.' he's disgruntled, you see, because he spent (how much is max again? like five figures? or maya's price tag!) on his program, and if he wants a human figure in it, he's got to build the entire thing himself. and then try to recoup the cost of his max program program. and meanwhile, some other people got poser for less than 500$, and are able to whip out a human figure, well, out of the box. so, in a fit of poser-discreditation, the disgruntled max guy got that free poser 3 cd somewhere, put together this piece of nonsense, and turned it over, in an effort to discredit that 'totally non-professional' poser application.
