From what I gathered after skimming Liftan's post, he is precisely the type of person I'm worried about... the people who have a preconceived notion that all nudity is BAD... that children shown nude in renders are intended for LEWD purposes. I get tons of flak from fundementalist religious fanatics over my choice of religion... that's bad enough. Now I have to worry about what I render too? Yes, what I choose to render and put forth as an image is my ART, and if I want to have 200 nude babies gathered at the feet of an angel surrounded by fluffy white clouds, you probably wouldn't bat an eye... but they're NUDE. Are you starting to get my point? THAT's why the wording has to be very specific, because you'd allow that image because it fits your religious beliefs. If I rendered the same 200 nude babies gathered at the feet of the Lord and Lady (pagan representations) surrounded by a forest glade, you'd probably denouce the image because it doesn't fit your religious beliefs. I don't want anyone to tell me what I can or cannot render, it's as simple as that. There's too much room for personal bias as to what's bad and what's okay. Tilandra
