Unless you have a MONSTER system (>=500 MHZ, >=250MB RAM, >=16 MB video RAM), you'd better use the Low Res figures for this, or you WILL bring your computer to a screaming halt with all those figures in it!

i believe the "skulls, blood ..." image above is actually an elaboration of an image from a black & white photo essay collaboration between surrealist painter salvador dali and photographer phillipe halsman. i'm not sure but i think they teamed up in the 50s. in any case i clipped a copy from an issue of photography today or some photomag like it back in the 70s. i dug the clipping up about 2 years ago (tho i've since lost track of it -- i know it's around here somewhere!) and reproduced it in poser. that image can be found on my website at the following link if the image fails to appear with this response. incidentally, it was produced on a mac 8500/233 with 256mb ram & 8mb vram.

amazing what one image can start, huh???? i didn't even get near my computer long enough to attempt reproducing the pic in Poser, but thanks for the advice about the lo-res figures....i'm only running 128 MB of RAM at the moment (w/ 500 mHz AMD K6-2), so i might've run aground on that one.....if i could find a place as generous with hardware as Renderosity is with Poser stuff, i'd be set ;)
