1.  I'm thinking on subsribing to poserworld. Does poserworld create their own human figures, or are they just creating hairs, accessories, clothes for human figures?

2.  Are there any news if there is a new company that will create a program similar to Poser or Daz Studio?

3.  This is a little off-topic but I'm not sure :unsure: where to put it since I don't think renderosity has an off-topic forum.  My buddy needs to decide what charity he should donate to. Please help him decide so he can choose the right one. Thank you.

Mods, please move number 3 if it should be in another forum.  Thanks.

1. PW, has not AFAIK, created a human figure but they have created at least one humanoid creature.  They also create vehicles, scenery and buildings.

2. There was something recently but it didn't even have the functionality of Poser 3.

3.  He should donate to the "Keep SamTherapy out of poverty" charity. ;)  Other than that, any children's charity, IMO.

1. tell him to donate to one of the many african charities. I read that something like 10,000 africans are dying needlessly every day, from disease, starvation, war atrocities, etc.

1. tell him to donate to a charity that has a good record for spending the vast majority of donated money on their causes instead of their administration.  there are various charity watchdogs that provide assessment of charities, such as charity navigator and american institute of philanthropy for US charities.

1. Can't answer this one.

2. Quidam from N-Sided seems to be a contender. No word on availability or price yet, though. A demo version is available from the website.

There is also Project MakeHuman, which is open source and part of the Blender universe. It's a ways behind Poser (I think this is what SamTherapy was referring to.) It's priced comparably to DAZ Studio ;-)

1. Think globally, act locally. Your buddy should keep his pesos close to home. Donate to a local soup kitchen or a local children's program near where he lives. If he likes art, there are always arts organizations that could use a hand or a handout. Every community has a bunch of little, unsung groups that do a lot of useful things. And your buddy can be sure his coin is not going to some giantic ad campaign or into the pocket of some fatcat lobbyist.

  Thanks.

I must admit to being biased on this one. My nephew started this on his own when his 6 year old sister died from a brain tumor...
