To Impudicus Rex: The best Pikachu variations I've seen from other forums have been Pikacthulu and Vodkachu. --- The cheapest solution I've found to the copyright restrictions is to purchase "club" memberships from some of the Poser sites out there and purchase CD collections. It should naturally follow that a site owner make the use restrictions clear to the customer BEFORE they purchase a password to the site (or buy the item). Most sites offer "commercial use" with a membership pass...however, this does not mean that there are a few pay sites that do not. So read the fine print. If a site does not have copyright restrictions posted--you should e-mail the owners and ask them specifically what hoops you need to jump through to use the items commercially. I think it would be really bad form to charge a member of the community for an item and then surprise them with the "no commercial use" restriction in the README file. I have the "commercial" restrictions on only a few freestuff items of my own (there's a reason for this--if you're not doing a project for one of the online gambling sites that consistantly spam me, I'd probably waive even those few "commercial" restrictions). Overall, I think "commercial" restrictions hinder Poser as a professional tool and downgrade it to the ranks of "cool toy".
