Poser only. Otherwise someone might decide to use the student/free version of Maya! I'd suggest having a scene with 1 person (or animal), an obvious lightsource (window, moon or lamp), and a few props... all set up and posed. Leave the camera, pov, lighting to the artist. Materials to the artist also? No postwork, not even to crop. Example: a dog sleeping on the bed. You'd need the Poser dog, a free bed, a wall with window, a 1-sided square (for view outside window). Example: adventurer holding a torch in a corridor leaning over a skeleton. You'd need a person in the right clothes, a torch prop, a hallway, and the P4 skeleton. Maybe the skeleton has a weapon or gold crown? That would give a lot of room for playing with various sorts of materials as well as dramatic lighting. Example: spaceport scene with 2 suns(!), human and alien standing at a dock in front of a ship negotiating (berth fees or a fill-up of fuel, doesn't matter, but there should be some body language). You'd need more stuff than the others... backdrop, a sprinkling of ships, the 2 figures. For anything like this, if you are including a downloadable pz3 with something not in the program, you'd want to contact the makers of the various freebies to secure permission. Carolly
