I just don't understand people thinking we have a right to freestuff, or that artists have any kind of obligation to put up stuff for free. Personally I'm planning to continue posting textures for free, and as I learn to model props, I'll put those up for free too. I DO feel that I owe this community that because when I first got poser I downloaded about a gig of free stuff, everything from props to morphs to poses--everything, essentially, that I didn't know how to make for myself. As I've progressed I use less and less free stuff--cool textures, yes, definitely clothing props if they suit my needs, and, always, morphs, particularly from trav's site. But I can make my own poses now, I'm learning how to make textures, and hopefully soon I'll be making my own props. Once I get to the point that I make the majority of my own stuff, I'll probably start wanting to sell some of it....not all of it. I think that should be the goal of any artist: to sell our work, at least to get so our artistic pursuits aren't a huge drain on whatever our day job brings in. I think it's great to have a community where we can say "hey everyone, how about some clothes for vicky" and know that all the experts are hitting the modelling apps as soon as the request goes out. But I would no more insist that they do that for free than that they would mow my lawn for free! I've been known to shovel snow or mow lawns free of charge for neighbors who needed a hand, but that doesn't mean I can't open a landscaping business. Life ain't cheap. I say a big thank you every day for this community and all the neat info and loot I find here...and now I also say a big BRAVO to anyone who's reached the point of being able to be paid for their work. It's the greatest feeling in the world (I know because I finally sold some writing this year!) and I congratulate you. Mary
