Quote - Trivia (most of you should know this!): What is the "hello world" mesh of 3D CG programming?

The Utah Teapot? Are you kidding? NVIATWAS of course!
Perhaps in the real CG world it is, but that's boring. We live in the poser world and NVIATWAS is the "Hello world" of the poser universe!

Well, I didn't say it was interesting.  Just like a "hello world" program is not very interesting (though there are some interesting takes on it).

Actually, wouldn't the unchangeably dressed Posette or Dork (or their close relatives Judy and Don) be the "hello world" of Poser?  I've seen these two used to death in 3D papers and prototype software and magazines (like SciAm) and TV commercials and even, gulp, Doctor Who ("Rise of the Cybermen" I think).  Not only do people go on the 'cheap' with Poser but they aren't about to put in more money for Vicky when they can use those old stock figures for free... ;D

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