Err, you do know that unless you're doing strict 2D animations/sprites from it, you're gonna smack right up against a concrete wall of copyright, yes? I'm very sure that SM would have a bit of a problem with some schmuck taking their meshes and redistributing them in a game (even as a mere MOD of an existing game).

As stated before the figures were released with a purpose in mind and have a new distribution license. Doesn't any take the time to read information anymore? Straight from SM's website:

New Distributable ContentPoser Pro comes with a set of four re-distributable 3D characters to help users save production time. This set includes a male and female figure in both medium and low resolutions. These professionally modeled 3D characters include facial morph targets to create expressions and visemes to synch with imported sound files in the Talk Designer, plus they are Face Room ready.

Use these four figures as a starting point and customize them to create your own real-time 3D or game characters. Modify these fully-rigged characters with Poser Pro’s powerful magnet deformers or sculpt detail using the Morphing Tool. Import them into the Face Room and modify their geometry and texture to match your imported facial photographs. When you’re finished, these four figures can be exported via Poser Pro’s many geometry export options including COLLADA, or hosted via PoserFusion plug-ins, and re-distributed for royalty–free use in your project.

Distributable Content Includes:

Note about this license..... we will soon see DAZ do the same thing (since they always copy everything someone else does), they will release new figures with new distribution licenses. SM and DAZ both desperately want to get a foothold in the game design community. EF started this move, SM followed through and DAZ has copied the move (they've already announced it). The poserverse is too small for all the players to operate, so they look for new markets. Unfortunally as usual, they all go into the same thing, since only a handful of people in the poserverse are really innovative, the rest just follows.

Due to the childish TOS changes, I'm not allowed to link to my other products outside of Rendo anymore :(

Food for thought.....
