I have a modeler at www.geocities.com/evilsnack/lionsnake.htm , which 
can do a reasonably human-looking model if you take the time.  The 
joints will probably have the "bent tube" effect that is painfully 
obvious on the elbows of most Poser rendering that I've seen.

I haven't added skin or muscle simulation, or morphs either, but I hope 
to do so at some point in the future.

I tried to make the modeler as intutive as possible; right-clicking in 
the edit window should give you a pop-up with all of the available options.

Regards,
John
