Yep, it's VP and me. Or more precisely it dates back to when CP used to ask content creators to provide material for each new version of Poser.
It was a nice way of allowing artists to say thanks to the makers of Poser and the community which supports us.
EF and SM would respect that as well by giving the creators a copy of the DVD and later on a download. Plus in some versions anyone who contributed got a - slightly misnamed personally :) - credit on the about screen.
To make life easier for everyone, content creators like EDW, Panos, Helgard, etc and (with these jetpacks) myself and John Hoagland, would upload our contributions under the Vanishing Point name and licence.
Not sure if this one was was for the P6 or P7 release, but back then I'd just started modelling so yes the mesh-work wouldn't be so good as my recent stuff. Though thats in a way academic as most of the content we made for the poser DVD's was 100% unique for each release. Most of it was never sold/given away afterwards and generally never has been.
It was only available through that release and later on (when SM SM stopped asking content creators to make new stuff) via their optional free downloads - like the poser 9 additional content packs. A thing that personally I've always kept to and never re-released my contributions.
