Well, I can't model worth a darn, but I have plenty of visual "stories" in my mind that I want to create. If someone has created a costume that works in an image I'm working on, then why shouldn't I use it? I certainly couldn't create any of the beautiful clothing items that are here in free stuff or in the MarketPlace or at DAZ. I just don't know how and I'm not really interested in learning it at this time. I think it's a community of people who work together. And placing objects into an image isn't necessarily simple, just because the parts are ready-made for us. Composition is a talent in itself. Point of view, camera angles, etc., deeply impact the final result of the image. Whether the objects were made by someone else is irrelevant, in my opinion. Even if someone made every item in the picture they're working on, it doesn't mean he/she has the "eye" to create a meaningful scene with those things. Just my slant on it. Melanie
