Trying to get a grip on all the Poser content I've got is nearly an impossible task. I do the indexing while watching TV so that it's kind of the equivalent of knitting in front of the TV.

A couple items, from the last disk are starting to beckon me for an image. The CentaurA has all the advantages of a robot with the additional plus that it can be ridden. I can't think of anything specific for the Seatracker, but it's such an incredible looking posable vehicle that there has to be something for it. It reminds me a lot of The Matrix, but I downloaded Seatracker in July 2000, and Matrix was released in 1999. A lot depends on when Seatracker was made.

Servicebot01 could be used in a Jetsons inspired image. One of these days, I want to do a Star Wars Cantina type of image with a large number of Poser figures and the REMC Orcadion Soldier would fit right into that.

I'll dig up REMC's Fatdude and see if the readme allows redistribution, but it probably won't or will be silent on the subject which means no permissions automatically. I wish we had somebody expert enough in copyright law to put a sticky in the copyright forum to help freebie makers figure out what they want and don't want done with their items and then provide standard license language for their readmes that reflect their wishes more accurately than the current haphazard nonstandard readmes being provided a decade ago and today. Some people thought the term "no commercial use" only meant their products couldn't be sold on commercial CDs and didn't realize that the restriction also meant no use on commercial images. The last time I made that suggestion in the copyright forum, it quietly died.
