I tried out the trueSpace plugin demo version. The figures are choppy around the seams (but i suppose some of that could be expected). The preview windows are somewhat difficult to work with and would be extremely hard to manage on any monitor under 17". The figure's have good limbs (and tails when you add them) and the body part choice menus are failry easy to work with. The head and torsos are lacking, or at least the selection included in the demo is. Since i couldn't port the models out of the plugin, i didn't get a chance to test body groups (but it looks like there will be one for each body part your customize). I'm not sure about materials on figures, it's all plain white in the preview. Something tells me mapping could be a problem, so be sure you have some mapping tool handy for these figures. I bet it could be handy for making Poser figures, but i'd worry about them looking factory assembled. Note: Creature creator is indeed best for making creatures, the human body parts are definitely lacking. I'd say get it if you have trouble modeling body parts and need to make a non-descript creature, but pass this one over if you have good modeling capabilities already.
