Oh, and by the way: the specifics...

That's Poser 7 Simon as Barry West, aka The Flash. The background is just a pic I found on the internet. I've used it before as a background for Sydney when I was learning how to do dynamic clothing. As stated, the costume is just a painted texture map. I used Simon's body tex to do that with. The logo on his chest was downloaded from google, resized and added in. I used GIMP to match the color of the logo to make his costume so it would blend seamlessly.

I just did Walk Designer, tweaked it to mimic the comic book Flash, then rendered it to image files. I discovered that PNG files only contain what you render into the scene, so in effect, there is no background unless you add one in. Makes doing chroma key type stuff really easy, and things like strand based hair blends into the scene without artifacts and such. So I do most of my work post render with GIMP. If anyone wants it, I will post a tutorial on my workflow, since it's a bit unorthadox.

If I had a nickle for ever time a woman told me to get lost, I could buy Manhattan.
