the origianl Poser concept was to have a human shape/form..then take it into a paint program...and use it as a base for an artist to flesh out :) Here is the box text from Fractal Design: Fractal Design Poser is the extraordinary art creation tool that lets you design with the human form. Developed for graphic artists, illustrators, designers, and multimedia mavens, Poser is the perfect tool for integrating the human figure into your creations. Use Poser for developing marketing concepts, for "virtual" photo-shoots, as a tracing template for "drawn" artwork, for creating 3D models, or for producing figures for use directly in your designs. Poser takes the science out of drawing figures and lets you use the human form as a design element---in any program. You will be astounded by the results.

Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it.
Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. All things are bound together.
All things connect......Chief Seattle, 1854
