Phantast, I was just reading something Dmentia wrote in another forum, about fountains, namely the free one DAZ gave away awhile ago, which had a nude cherub figure. Dmentia pointed out the problems now of making textures for such items (I hope she doesn't mind me mentioning this). That reminded me of the Mannekin Piss. No, I'm not swearing, that is the name of the statue. As you can see, its a statue of a little boy urinating. It is the pride of the city of Brussels (which for any Bush or Reagan fans, is the Capital of Belgium), its unofficial symbol. I fear that this picture, which is perfectly acceptable to the vast majority of the 'civilised world' would be banned outright at the Renderosity Store. So you may want to think twice about spending a lot of time making a nice texture for it, and as for making a morph to make a character model of it... forget it, you'd probably be "Arrested on charges of an unnamed kind..."
