If your going to have many figures, using mesh based can become "cheaper" than 100s of
blobmen. 
Meshes are defined once then reffered as needed. Using PoseRay, you can convert a
poser character to 
POV Ray format, and then, it become platform independent. The audience been mostly in
darker area, 
the bottom 2/3 oculted, you can have 4~8 different ones using only the 1/3 top part,
randomely 
picked, placed with a slight vertical jitter and simple textures.
