YES - I am a chronic moocher and because of this am in need of extensive therapy... YES - I like free stuff - who doesn't... YES - I can only model basic in-organic shapes in Bryce - and could not model organic shapes if my life depended on it... But - here's the deal... Several people out there like my SNOW THUG concept for a poseable model that can be used in Poser and is exportable to Bryce.I have had many good comments on it. I would put it to a vote - who would like to see the Snow Thug as a .obj, .DXF, .3ds, or POSER freebie - and who would like to / be willing to - take the challenge of building it? This would be no easy task - it's not a simple series of nerb blobs or geometric primitives - it would take some serious time and a measure of patience to get this thing right.HOWEVER - the flexibility of the model and the darn near endless add - on possibilities to this animal would make it an awsome offering for the community. Whomever makes this model owns the rights to the model itself - and I offer the concept to the public - royalty free and clear of any real or implied catches whatsoever - I JUST WANT TO USE THE MODEL IN MY COMMERCIAL / NON-COMMERCIAL PROJECTS with the same royalty free courtesy. At least I'm honest and up front about begging for handouts, LOL :) SO - whatever you guys decide is cool anyway - whatever...

P.S. - I've also placed the same challenge in the Poser community forum.

Here's something to start with. Anyone wanna finish the modeling? I figured I'll just do the head, and it still needs a bit more work to be closer to the drawing.

LOL - ok Pakled - :) The head looks good Pauljs - I think the hardest thing to do would probably be the fur.

This character doesn't have to be a hard sell - imagine when once the basic character model and the texture templates are made available... People will make add-ons like saddles, stirrups,blankets, carriages, decorative armor, you name it, and others will make new textures and morphs to it - and NEW characteristics like horns, ears, heck even wings if they want to.The possible permutations that might stem from this one "seed" figure are virtually endless!

Millenium Dragons - DAZ sea dragons - Daz dinosaurs - Custom figures - etc. - these all cost money, sometimes boo coo bucks!. This could really stand for something - a really awsome good qaulity free figure - community made, and freely available for all.
