What surprises me is that nobody has done textures or characters for Harry Potter. I wouldnt mind seeing that and perhaps some new artwork of the type. And what about you Anime fans out there? Im learning Lightwave and Bryce and am thinking of making some characters from Inu Yasha or Trigun just to name a couple of my favorites. What do you guys think?

hi- I'd love to see John Wayne and Jimmy Stewart and June Allison ect... the reason is that public characters are copy writen- thats why you don't see famious characters made like Harry Potter :(

If you keep within the bounds of fan art most Copyright holders will be okay .... but that means no commerical products or usage. Many people don't want to put that amount of work in for a non-profit model. Sad, but thats the way of things. At any rate, if you like anime and comic type stuff go look over at Animotions, they have a good library of such figures for Poser

You probably won't see celebrity textures and characters for sale, due to copyright/trademark concerns. But there are lots of free ones. Star Trek characters, props, and sets seem to be especially popular. Often, when people do celebrity characters, they disguise them slightly. For example, a Scully character was posted to the free section, under the name "Federal Agent." There's a character called "Arrogon" for sale, who bears a certain resemblance to a certain LOTR character. I know there are Poser artists who do Harry Potter art. Your best bet for finding them would probably be Harry Potter web sites. IME, media fans tend to post their stuff to their fan sites, rather than to generic forums like Renderosity. I'm not a HP fan, so I can't point you to specific sites, but I know some fans were using Poser to create illustrations for their favorite HP fanfic.
