Hi, First of, It really makes a difference in my drawings (figure drawing that is) if I copy from photographs of people in different poses than just with bare imagination. My problem is, if I want a totally original pose then I'm out of my luck and will just refer to a wooden mannequin but, using it is just so different than copying a real human. So my question is, is there a program that has a reasonable rendered human figure that can be posed in whatever position you would like it to? I heard Poser was intended for this but it's just too costly for a poor guy like me. All I want is a digitized poseable human figure and that's it! Just a better alternative to a wooden mannequin. Is there any cheaper alternative program? THANKS IN ADVANCE!!

There is Poser Artist it's a design tool based on Poser 4 and is less expensive than Poser 5.

Maybe Facegen is what you want?

Hi again,

Thanks for the replies however they're totally overkill for my purpose. There's a program, don't know if you've heard of it that is close to what I'm looking for (very close!!)

3d Virtual Figure Drawing Studio

This one is totally affordable to even the poorest of the poor people like me. The only problem is (big problem), the poses are presets and you can't actually pose the model to whatever you want! Anymore insights are greatly welcome =)

How about trying this link and downloading demo of Poser V4 from PCWorld.com
