Hey, I had an idea about a poser challenge and hope this is where to suggest it. And no, I don't have a prize to contribute. ;-) The idea is probably not unique, but I'd love to see people try to recreate a painting by a famous artist. It would require/combine substantial Poser work, or any other kind of 3d modelling if that's allowed, with substantial post-work talent. For instance, I think Lucian Freud would be fun, here's some of his work: http://www.artchive.com/artchive/F/freud.html#images I think "Naked Girl Sleep" would be good for full body posing and "John Minton" would be great for just hair, head and face. Has this been done before? Any interest? I think it would make for a very challenging....um... challenge. ;-)

It has, but not in a while. And the last time it happened it gave me an idea for a challenge which you just reminded me of. Very similar. In fact, I think I'll set it up.

;-) Cool. I like the idea of more "painterly" uses of Poser and uses related to traditional fine arts, so to speak.

So do I, really. Despite not being fond of most postwork for myself, lol. btw -- my idea is different, lol -- yours is a cool one and you should pursue it.

Just be certain that the images you propose using as sources are not within copyright. Best if they are at least 150 years old.

Hmm,if it's just for self education, I don't know if there's a problem. I guess if it was a contest to win something. In any case, anything before 1922 is certainly in pubic domain. But that's a good thing to think about.

Prize money is not an issue. Profit is not an issue. It doesn't matter if you charge for your copies or not... it is still infringement. 1922? Copyright is for life plus 75 years, in most cases (there are tiers). Only the original creator of a work has the right to make copies or derivatives unless he explicitly yields that right. Even ownership of the physical work of art doesn't give a person the rights to make copies from it. That is why I say that it is best to use much older works as your sources. You might want to read this link about Copyright Myths and the Introduction to Copyright... and Templeton has links to other FAQs. Carolly
