eyecon, it wasn't for attention, i simply wanted to know what your opinions where on the piracy of this piece of software and if there was anyone else like me who thinks that aside from the great place renderosity is, it could get somehow better by not fooling ourselves. i don't consider myself an artist. fuck, i'm not even willing to sell my stuff in this place, despite knowing that it's steadily getting better. i don't think that people who haven't bought the software -and here i made the rather unfortunate comparison to newbies, however i still think it's relatively true- are supposed to sell their stuff. end of story. like i noticed this guy selling default photoshop planet textures. it pissed me off. the plugin is called lunarcell for crying out loud... and you buy the work off him? for what he did in a day by just messing with defaults??? it's shareware! things like that piss me off. simple as that. SOME of the people who start off here have not bought the program. that's fine if they're here to make something and not to reap financial benefits. that's my main point. nukeboy, have you been eating the paint too? there's a completely different argument at stake here.
