Ducks don't have scales, they have feathers... except the ducks from Orion have metallic plates and the clattering is quite fearsome. The sky darkens and fills with the noise of armies and the guardians of the granaries shudder at their approach. Hmm... 8'6". That is a bit of a stretch, even for the supermodels on stilettos. However, I think a woman's height would have made more sense if Larry had thought ahead to how the program would actually be used. Since the height does keep changing, I'll suggest it to him. :) Considering that folks use CAD, MAX, C4D, Maya, Blender, ZBrush, etc... and not all those programs agree upon a standard height, it really is not essential that Poser conform to any one of them. As long as the native units are always native units and roughly set to human standards, we should be fine. Consider this: the neolithic "yard" was a bit over 29", that didn't stop our primitive forebears from setting up trilithons. If Stonehenge, the Haggia Sopphia, the Parthenon, and the dome of St Paul's manage to stay up despite all having been built to a different standard, then why are we arguing over a virtual sliver? Carolly PS: I know that Orion is a constellation, not a planet.
