What you create is up to you.  What you *post* is up to your ISP and the
server that stores your data.

However, please keep in mind that some people who read the povray.org
server are doing so from their workplace, where they are subject to
monitoring, and could get in trouble if the monitor noted something
being downloaded.  Other people might wish to not download pictures
of naked people for some other reason.  I work in the Pentagon, for
instance, and we have an office of a dozen or so people whose job
is to monitor the traffic on the network; mostly they're looking for
hackers, but they also keep an eye out for smut.

As a service to people like these, you should put a warning in the
subject line of the message.  Something like:

  Subject:  [NUDITY] Xena v1.1

and those who for some reason or another don't want to download
anything sexual will be warned and can skip over it.

Regards,
John
