True. But that pales compared to what goes down in suburbia. But more telling in what happens in the homes of elected leaders who vote themselves exemptions to security bills so the alphabet agencies can't legally spy on them as they do everyone else. But that's a rabbit hole I'm not wanting to follow into soundproofed basement prisons...
Yeah, I'm not going down that rabbit hole. You obviously have a strong view about that but all I was saying is that I don't want it on record that I said or condone that someone's rape, abuse and death was a fair exchange for a fictional character. Nothing more, nothing less. Not commenting on urban vs suburban vs rural or political leanings or anything else. Just saying that that's not a statement I want to be associated with.
Indeed.
Just look at it this way, any time you hear of a new fad in technology, know that the rich already have their hands in it to make sure it's (profit-wise) inaccessible to anyone that's not and, enticing you to get into it, is their way of trying to trick money and/or control from you. After all, that's how you're able to hear about it. Especially if the new technology fad appeals to the "I don't have to do/think about/learn about shit and things will get done for me?" part of your brain. Law of conservation of matter/energy. You can't get something from nothing. But snake oil salesmen will always try to sell you stuff that claims you can. What's that old over-generalized phrase? You can't scam an honest man? Or something? (Not being sarcastic. I really don't know the exact verbiage)
On the other hand, if you REALLY want those pictures, I would HIGHLY recommend looking into 3D/CG programs like blender. It's open source, there's lots of tutorials, people share models, there are ways to extract models from games, and, at least for still images, is viable on a personal computer (i.e. doesn't need a render farm). The price you pay is effort and learning. So it's just a question of how badly do you want it.
Hell, I'll send you the art books (the digital version) that I learned from for human anatomy and poses to get you started. The models will probably be pre-boned, but learning it will give you an idea of how to pose things to make them look like real breathing people instead of dolls.
