Quote - I sometimes wonder why the program is called "Poser"

Could it be that it's because you can... gasp... POSE figures in it? All by yourself?

No, let's declare the figures rubbish to take the focus away from our own inabilities!

 
lol... How true! I admit to having bought canned poses (and will use one as a starting point if I'm in a hurry AND it's close to what I'm looking for in the final result... however I have yet to use a canned pose without tinkering it into submission in some manner. If the project isn't a rush job, I will start from scratch as I actually enjoy a sense of accomplishment working around peculiar joint issues and contortions! 

Thanks for the leads... I really appreciate it. I'm going to take a closer look at those .DXF files and see what I can find out.

Thanks... I'd run across those but, unfortunately, I'm unable to load them. 3DS Max and Poser both report the .DXF as corrupted or in an improper format when I try to import. TrueSpace will import the file but the model is horribly mangled. (Looking at the file contents, I see no obvious problems, so I'm at a loss...) If anyone can successfully load the file (or files) and export to an .obj format (or .3ds format) I'd be quite grateful!
