As far as professional grade softwares go, there is Poser-Maya plugin from Reiss-Studio (?). Maya is very expensive though. How many characters handled with terrains is RAM and processors I think, not software too much. More powerful machines can handle more stuff. :) Poser 5 has no demonstration versions, but Maya and Soft|Image do. Not sure where to link. Bryce I do not think is set up to handle Poser very well, but Vue d'Esprit is made to import Posers files natively, and has many features and benefits over Bryce. I thinks Vue 4 (?) costs 200 dollars or so.

Sorry, but this just looks like second verse, same as first.

"okay so, real talent and skill really have nothing to do with it. there is no point in trying to develop my skills as an artist because in the end no one will actually care whether or not the work is any good.." Perhaps you should not seek outside approval for your abilities, yes?

What's the big issue? Is same argument many make around here. Legume is not good enough artist to deserve AOY, and so he si now "nigger". Just like black peoples or jewish peoples. Except now we discriminate on him because of how he believes? What he says? Same argument you make, lynde... different historical context. ;)

"Personally I can't fault them for not wanting to waste community resources on a person who has dedicated himself to trying to destroy the community." "it's a shame that the vote had to be taken away from the community because so few within it actually recognize real talent and skill and only resond to those who draw the most attention to themselves..." Yeah... next thing you know they'll be lettin' those uppity niggers vote and win contests. Then where would we be?!
