 Oh come on now. Is everything you model so virtious that you can say that
with a straight face. After all we only see the public side of Lance and not
the private possibly darker side of Lance. You maybe sitting there right now
modeling voodoo dolls for each our names posted here and stabing them with
virtual pins and setting them aflame with virtual fire without us knowing it.

HOW DID YOU KNOW!!!???  ;-)

About the most violent thing I've modelled is a bottle of pills and some
cigarettes, which can be found at:

BTW, the project is finished now... (the one on the site)  If anyone wants
to see the animation of it, tell me and I'll post a version for download.

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

hmm, imho raytracing is not a good medium for eroticism. Porn, titilation,
nude tomb-raiders maybe - anything that requires acres of smooth flesh and
small quantities of clothing.

But eroticism requires something a little less "perfect". I guess raytracing
will be able to do convincing erotic art about the same time it can do a
convincing close-up of an old man/woman's face (or has someone done this?)

The close-up of the clown in "Bingo" is, methinks, pretty convincing. Maybe
it's the heavy makeup that does it... Bare skin have always been very
difficult to get exactly, exactly right, and it always looks very phony
whenever it isn't exactly, exactly right.

Hmm, and I thought it would have reinforced where you came from ;-)
