A repository of human photographs and poses?
I've read some time ago a post in this forum where someone putted a link (two links) to a researching university or something similar that have a lot of photographs and videos of human parts and movements.
I've searched the forum but I couldn't find it.

Genete: "putted"=put. Sorry I know you in a different country but I've seen you use that so many times and it makes me thing of someone golfing everytime lol.
Anyways- I thought you were looking for something I was going to ask for but those look like something different- so I'll go ahead and ask: Is there any website that has photographs of different male/female bodies for use with cut-out style animation? Like Jib-Jab style? Different outfits and bodies, and hands from every angle? Maybe even cut-out ready png's with transparency?

Aaaarrgh!! Those bloody on line orthographic correctors!!! You're absolutely right!! I have put a lot of timed "putted" instead of "put" but since "putted" is an existing word the corrector did not correct it when I put "putted" instead of "put". Maybe I should have put "puted" instead of "putted" to let the corretor do its work but I put "putted" instead of "put"... Do yah?! Thanks, jhbmw007 I'll never put it again...
PS: those are the links I was asking for but anyway your request maybe interesting
jhbmw007: No, there's no source online with all this material oven-ready prepared for the lazy animator - of course not. Why put a lot of work into something and then give it away for free? And there's other reasons: the face you want to use belongs to a person, and this person has to give permission to have their face used for anything published. Normally they're paid for this - are you ready to pay for this permission?
(There's a difference between giving away knowledge for free, and giving away stupid but tedious work for free. I always do the first one, but never the second.)
Hand positions you can do easily by yourself, as long as you have a camera. You can lift face features from any porn site - but don't use a whole face (legal reasons, as mentioned). Hair and cloth textures you'll find in ads. Often it's easier to scan those from a printed magazine than to deal with the small dimensions and bad resolution of online stuff.
(I did cutout animation with magazine snippets back in 1977 ...)

Well, I never said it had to be free... just seems like cutout animation is easy and fun I'm surprised there isn't a site like that maybe sells cut-out ready images of generic bodies and such (man, woman, businessman, etc). I didn't ask for faces either... Although I doubt Jib Jab paid George Bush or John Kerry everytime they put them in an animation- I'm sure they had rights to the original pictures that they "cut up", all they did was then "move them around".
