Eirian, In answer to your question: I don't know if this is in Thornes mind but it may have made it easier for him to continue giving his characters away if there were more positive measures by Renderosity to alieviate the unfounded concerns of certain misguided individuals. Renderosity wishes to impose a blanket ban on any nude figure in the MarketPlace advertising pictures that appears to be less then 20 years old (teens, children and babies) - I don't think I'm giving any secrets away by saying that. Think about that for a moment, is it reasonable? If you wished to you could go to a store and buy a magazine or video showing real live 18 year olds having acutal sex!! So, what can Renderosity do that would support Thorne and others like him who provide us with such beautiful characters, and hopefully help to persuade him to change his mind. How about a public statement of support saying that they find nothing wrong with his work? How about dropping this ban in place of sensible vetting of images according to existing legal guidelines not some half wits opinion of what we as a community should or should not see? Perhaps if the Community adopts a mature attitude to these issues, we will yet again see more of Thornes wonderful work being given away. So, write to your Senator/Representative/Forum Moderator... whoever.... who knows, we may yet see the beginning of a new era. IsaacNewton
