kbennett, OK this thread is getting a bit long-winded, but I do have a question concerning the TOS. I've made a living for over thirty years as a photographer. I've photographed all age groups from a child being born, to Marjorie Stoneman Douglas on her 101 year birthday. I have a pretty good grip on what people look like in REAL LIFE...but it is these 3D meshes that throw me. Take the "standard" adult figure of Vicky2... Her face has more of a hard masculine look to it than a real female. The size,shape,and proportions of the body are very far from a normal human female.....but yet in the world of Poser she is regarded as a "normal" adult. For aesthetic reasons I have found the Preteen mill Girl mesh is a better base to work with. I reshape the mesh in different modeling programs to give it a very adult look and featuresbut compared to Vickys (unrealistic) face it does look much younger (face wise). As I am still installing my files and programs on my new computer I dont have my personal work to show you,but Thorns Lisha in the MP is a close example. There is no way in hell someone could say that figure is of an underage girl,but the face (BY POSER STANDARDS) does look young. So..what standards do you guys use to determine the age of a character? I know it cant be easy or cut and dry for youbut do you have any basic guide lines? Thanks,SWAMP
