Seems it took a day for my being upset to fester this far, and in the interm Teyon has asked them if rendering in Poser specifically is allowed. The answer was private, for the most part, but publically they said they didn't think there would be an issue with doing that. based on that, I'm going to go ahead, and hope that that very self same Teyon's occasional partial tutes on making a human figure continue to work for me in my efforts. however, the idea still stands -- this sort of serious challenge is something that appeals to me deeply.

thou and I, my friend, can, in the most flunkey world, make, each of us, one non-flunkey, one hero, if we like: that will be two heroes to begin with. (Carlyle)
