Anton has the correct perspective. 3D Human figure creation (in any app) is not a trivial task to say the least. It really requires knowledge of human anatomy, kinematics, external physiology, musculature, 3D rigging/modelling/deformations, and a whole slew of other concerns. It is not something for amateurs and definitely not for the feint of heart. Alternatively, if you are going to do it for commercial purposes, you'd better do it right! That might sound like an accusation. And it is. I'll purchase some off figures because I like to support the 'little guy' (e.g.: Misaki, Himeko). Any resultant effort is a good effort. But these are still 'little guys'; individuals without corporate backing. Should I continue? Daz3D's release of V3 was not flawless, but one has to admit that it was a step above in many areas. Out of the box, it wasn't a disaster, just flawed. Renda, in my honest opinion, is a disaster out of the box. And for the pricetag and feature set, not a well-conceived idea. So, for the effort, I'll give them a B. But there is no try, only do or do not. This does not.

C makes it easy to shoot yourself in the foot. C++ makes it harder, but when you do, you blow your whole leg off.
