Models to test skins offline?

Hey all, I just joined up a few days ago and was trying to tweak the default skin but I had a question. Is there a sample model of some sort that can be used to do skinning without logging in and loading the skin?

The disembodied floating head preview is helpful, but kind of stifles the workflow, I know you can edit animations in poser and a few freeware utilities, but the poser models seem to have slightly different dimensions that don't lend themselves to testing out skins.

Thanks

Go to the downloads section of this site, and download the avatar mannequin files. The package contains the avatars in Poser and OBJ format. You can use the Poser models to test your skins (and clothing) in Poser or DAZ Studio, and you can use the OBJ's in just about any 3D modeling application (Maya, 3DS Max, Lightwave, Blender, Tattoo, etc.).
