I started looking at Poser and various modelling apps as tools for making games sprites and environments... because I was learning some games development for Apple IOS (iphone / ipad) and, parallel to that Microsoft XNA.

But I didn't get very far with that before just getting hooked on Poser as a creative medium in itself ;-)

Now I guess I'm focusing on (slowly) learning to model well... and learning how to make stuff look as good as I can within Poser.

But if we're talking about uploading ourselves into cyberspace, that 360 degree scanner gizmo that Lee Perry Smith and Dimensional Imaging are using looks like the ticket...

...just needs an upgrade to capture the old brainwaves too ;-)

Might be a cheaper and more readily available option than a ticket into actual outer space...
