Could you? I'd love to try that.

Hmm... been thinking about this, and all I could come up with is that
if they were struggling (to get out maybe?), then that would make it obvious
to the veiwer that they don't want to be there. Tricky though, as you would
have to get the poses just right to achieve that, I think.

Here you go.
#macro Bubbles (StartPoint, EndPoint,Spacing,Size,rs)
union {
#local rnd=seed(rs);
#local Count = (EndPoint.y-StartPoint.y)/Spacing;
#local i=0;
#while (i<Count)
sphere {
<0,0,0>,Size*(0.8+rand(rnd)*0.4)
scale <1,0.7,1>
translate <(rand(rnd)-0.5)*Spacing*0.5,i*Spacing +
(rand(rnd)-0.5)*Spacing,(rand(rnd)-0.5)*Spacing*0.5>
material {
texture {
pigment {rgbf <1,1,1,0.99>}
finish {specular 0.8 reflection {0.1,0.5 fresnel}}
}
interior {ior 1.0}
}
//pigment {Red}
hollow
}
#local i=i+1;
#end
translate StartPoint
}
#end
Sample call:
object {
Bubbles(<0.2,0.1,0>,<0.2,1.775,0>,0.075,0.0085,floor(rand(rnd)*10000))
}

That's what I'm trying, with one of them. Looking promising.
Update maybe later this week

I think that showing some distress on the clothing would implicate a struggle
and lack of free will. Not haveing used Poser myself I don't know what would be
involved to simulate this.
As a side comment I would like to say that I have enjoyed your work for many
years and am glad to see you are still active. It has been sometime since I
have tried anything but have thought about starting again. Keep up the good
work and thanks for making so much available to the public.
