I say good show! There are some very talented people who have shared many of their creations with us. If they decide that they need to sell some of their creations so they can purchase program updates, new modeling software, pay for their websites, pay their rent and, Heaven forbid, buy food then so be it and I will support them. I have already purchased items from PhilC, Jim Burton and others that I intend to use for both commerical and non-commercial projects. And I intend to purchase more from them and from the others. Why shouldn't they benefit from their talents? And I think it is a dishonour to them to suggest that they will withdraw their free offerings in hopes of extorting payment for what was previously free. They offered us free items in the past because they wanted to. Just because they may face the inevitability of bills like the rest of us and they wish to see some reward for the hours, days or even weeks of work they may invest in a model, a character, a prop, a texture, etc does not mean they have become miserly Scrooges. Give them a break! And allow them the chance to earn some rewards, financial rewards, for their talent and for their hard work. In the meantime, I wish them luck and look forward to doing business with them. As an actor, writer and multimedia creator I have no idea where this notion that artists must be "starving artists" originated, but, I wish it would return from whence it came. As an added note, we should be grateful that such an outlet has become available from people we have come to know and trust such as the people here at Renderosity. There are very few online communities that share our luck in having reliable and trustworthy outlets such as Renderosity, Baument and Zygote to do business with. Okay, I'm done. I will tuck my soapbox back under my bed. Take care and Godspeed.
