Yet Another Boring Pin-Up
I do all of my rendering in a package called Poser. While it can render anything you can get triangles for, it's really geared towards rendering people. Those people tend to come naked, just like we do, and if you want to add to that look, you have to add clothes.
Adding clothes is non-trivial. In fact, one of the big technical advancements in Pixar's Monster's, Inc was that Boo's shirt behaved like real cloth. Yes, it's five years later, but Poser is not exactly Pixar-cutting-edge technology. It's a hassle to get the cloth to hang right, to keep body parts from poking through and so on.
The result is that a lot of Poser images are of naked women. Yes, there are male figures available, but well... it's no secret that Playboy outsells Playgirl, ok? So, all the naked chicks aren't necessarily a sign of horny men getting their jollies. It's more likely just a sign of laziness. Making the naked chicks is easier, and it's more relaxing. It's the kidn of thing you can knock off in an hour or so of actual interaction. You can make so many, that after a point, you don't even bother trying to name them.
Which is just the roundabout way for me to introduce the latest in one of my series:
