ClawShrimp,

    I saw a documentary about the Newtsuit and noticed that it's constructed similarly to the Apollo arm/shoulder rigging of Apollo. Great minds thinking alike or coincidence? Regardless, it's outside the box thinking and Poser does need more of that.

   As far as sites like cgsociety, I've found some really talented pros do hang there, but there are also a lot of folks who just want to model their own characters from scratch and do a damn fine job of it. Haven't found that site elitist at all. Hell, they have a Blender forum.
