Hello, I'm mainly a Bryce user, and I have some great ideas for some scenes using Poser figures. Unfortunately, my computer doesn't handle Poser too well. If there are any talented Poser artists out there that wouldn't mind helping me out by making these figures for me, I'd be very grateful. I wish i could offer money to sweeten the deal, but, alas, I have none for myself, much less anyone else. The best I can offer is credit with my work and my sincere thanks. E-mail me at plur__@hotmail.com if you can help me out. Thank you for your time.

I ought to point out that Poser models are copyrighted, and it would be a breach of that copyright for anybody to send you actual meshes 'in the clear' - whether you have Poser yourself or not. This restriction will also apply to clothing and textures etc., depending on what their terms of use are. The Poser figures could be encoded with Objaction Mover so that you could open them only if you have Poser - the rest of the package would depend on selecting items which allow redistribution.

This will be for non-commercial use only, so I don't think the people at Curious Labs would mind. I do art as a hobby, not as a job.

Yes, they would.

Picky, aren't they?

If you can, would you please send me a copy of the section of copyright that deals with this matter? I'd like to look over it a bit.

It's copyright material, therefore it cannot be copied without permission (which is unlikely to be forthcoming). Of course if you wanted rendered images plus transparency to paste onto a plane that would be another matter, and someone might oblige you once but probably not multiple times.

CuriousLabs EULA is on their web site both for PoserArtist (Poser 4) and for Poser 5. both state that you cannot distribute models, meshes, or content that is copyrighted by Curiouslabs. Daz and most of the poser bought content on poser sites have a similar clause in their licence agreements. there are a LOT of free models that you can get without paying anything and export from Poser for use in Bryce, however you would be required to own a copy of Poser to use those models someone else cannot distribute them to you. also, you cannot pose models in Bryce, so you really do need Poser if you want to move a charcter in a certain position etc export out of poser and import into bryce posed the way you want them for your art.

A lot of the Poser market is hobbyist use. Part of the appeal of the Poser program is the models that come with the program, so CL (DAZ, etc.) would definitely mind if that part of their intellectual property was redistributed. To put it bluntly, if they don't get their money from you, they don't want you using their products, hobbyist or not. Thanks, Cres
