not exactly sure, computer crashed sometime on day 3.
overall lighting needs work, need to play with the stonework
and texturing thereof, finish the doors, then on to the
rest of the structure.

Would you mind warning people about nudity in the posts because I just about
got crap today for opening this at school :-P Other than that, interesting
concept, I like the wings.

If you're reading the pov newsgroups for a class project, actual subject
matter shouldn't matter.  If you're NOT reading the pov newsgroups for a
class project, what are you doing using the school's computer systems
for non-school-related work...;)

Same goes for people who use their work internet connection for personal
use...

I know that if he is in a public school here, he is likely to be fired, or
his account locked up so he can't get to the POVray newsgroups any more.
Opening a picture such as this even in a class that covers computers and
graphics can result in criminal prosecution.  People in the school system here
are peculiarly bloodthirsty and humorless.
    In principle, I agree that subject matter should not be important, but due
to the circumstances that many people work under, it is nice to have a heads up
just for politeness' sake.  That would be much nicer that getting fired and
charged with showing minors nudity.

I think it'd make more sense to not use school or work equipment to
read newsgroups, thereby not even raising the issue of being fired or
expelled due to exposure to 'inappropriate' content.

Unless you're doing something directly related to work or school,
there's no reason to be accessing the internet, or even using the
computers at all.

Since, I have one of the top marks in my computer class, my teacher dosen't
mind, and he considers the pov-ray newsgroups educational so it's not like
I'm breaking the rules, and I'm not a minor btw, but I still have to abide
by school rules.

Your teacher is more wise than many other people. I think it's stupid to
prohibit *all* "fun" things that people can do with school computers. Don't
people know that once per 45 minutes people have to refresh their heads with
something completely non-related? Although I agree with adding (nudity) in
the subject to keep people out of trouble, the whole problem is way beyond
me. I just can't understand why people in general accept commercials for bad
food, violent/sick song lyrics and movies that give people (not just
children) strange ideas. I think that nudity shouldn't a big problem as long
as it doesn't distract people from what things really are about and as long
as noone is going to have strange ideas about anything.

Elvis lives and he was abducted by aliens, most people can deal with kicks
in the faces and everyone is beautiful except for me and the people I know.

Would it kill to put "(nudity)" in the subject?

Apart from the schools/work issue, many people object to nudity in images on
principle. Whatever we might think of their beliefs and/or regulations (i.e.
pretty bloody silly), accommodating them is really not a big deal.

Well, *I* object to making the distinction, separating nudity from
everything else thereby drawing attention to the fact.  My image
there isn't about nudity, and if I had a way to clothe the figure
the way I want, I would.  But Vickie 3.0 sucks like that, having
atm no clothing that really works with her.

(BTW egisys just fired most, if not all, the CL people, gonna be
farming out development of Poser to other companies from what I
understand)

I believe that there is nothing inherently wrong with nudity, and,
as such, see no reason to put a notice in the subject line.  My
suggestion is this: if nudity offends person x, then person x can
just assume that ALL of my images have it, and not look at any of
my images, thereby saving themselves the emotional scarring.
