Then Stephen would tell the little prude to FO and read the disclaimer 
at the top of the project.*
You actually picked a topic I have a bee in my bonnet about. :)
Removing nipples and male genitalia because they think they are obscene. 
Gets on my goat.

Generally I self sensor myself over these things. A case in point is 
with the Blender Stop Motion addon. I have been testing it with mesh 
sequences that for speed I use nude poser models. I have not offered the 
developer those meshes as he lives in SLC and I am wary of offending him.
Thanks for reminding me. I need to test the latest version with a 
complex set of OBJ files that contain body, knickers and top.

If I did that project and released it. It would be up to the user to do 
what they wanted with it and I would have no reason to complain. I might 
not like it but it would be out of my hands.

Anyway an option would be to cover the offending parts with a top which 
itself would be animated in Poser.
