Hi guys, I have used this s/w and it's fine - basically it compares to the Poser s/w for making 3d scenes with characters and rendering them as you wish. You can move the models, pose them, change lights and textures from within the main program. Then on top of that theres hundreds of add ons and freebies, plus all the commercial stuff.
For a piece of free s/w it is really quite amazing - the bigger file is part of the package, as I remember off the top of my head, it is indeed the 3d content. This includes scenes, objects and I believe also a model figure for a woodland scene.
The site also offers a free base 3D model called Victoria, or more commonly refered to as V3, this allows a lot more in the way of changes and morphs etc.
As far as I know, so far it only renders static scenes, but that may have changed as I saw somewhere something about lipsync, but that might have been Poser.
The models work in a similar way to Haptek - in that they use a base model/mesh which has a skin texture rendered onto it. These have a lot higher resolutions though. Average Haptek skins go at about 1240 x 1240, but for this it's more often 4000 x 4000 plus.
That gives it all a much more realistic look, and you would have to examine some renders closely to tell if it wasn't a real person.
They and the 'market place' there make money from selling expansion packs and textures, scenes and everything including the kitchen sink.
Be warned, there is sooo much stuff out there, you'll probably spend weeks on this, it's a whole block away from Haptek in terms of realistic renders, even if they are static.
