*"so in effect we DO have a standard low res "biped rig"  for easy animation setup and creation to be later transfered to our more complicated resource heavy rigs for rendering.

this standard rig is the p4 male and female  AKA "dork" and "posette" 
*Actually, no, these rigs belong to e-Frontier, so you can't redistribute a figure made using these rigs.

*sell them? I guess it is a an ethical issue as technically you are keeping the origianal creator from profiting,huh? oh well. back to the drawing (key)board.
*But that is my point exactly. Why don't we have a free rig we can use to make new characters? I have no problem making my own rig, but every person who makes a new figure has to make his own rig. If we had one standard free rig, and we all used that, then we would know that the BVH files will definitely work, but if every person makes a new rig, you have to adjust the bvh file for every human figure. The standard bi-ped rig in Character studio is used to make sale products, why, if Poser is THE charcater animation package, is it so hard to make a rig freely available for people to use to make more figures.
