That's very true Dialyn, but many people don't go to the product showplace because they have no way to afford to buy the products so find looking at them depressing or some similar emotion. One suggestion might be to put in the subject line that it is a "Possible commercial product" or something to that effect. Or maybe "wip for possible commercial product". That way if there are people who know that no matter how inexpensive or lovely it may be they can just bypass that thread and not feel badly. Some people may well feel mislead .. if they see a thread for someone asking for help with a product here in this forum it is natural to assume that the product will be free since technically only free products are supposed to be put here. These people may work very hard to help the person achieve the desired affect of the texture or character or morphs or model or whatever it is and then find out that it is going to be commercial. It is a great irony to discover that something you have put many of your own hours in freely trying to help becomes something that you cannot ever have. That's not intended as a flame toward anyone. i think something in the subject line would be of great benefit to all of the parties involved.
