Well I try to give credit for most things I do. Sometimes it really can be a pain trying to track down or remember where each last object came from. Other times it is as easy as using the DAZ rubber stamp. :) Leave one person off by accident and they may feel offended you metioned everybody else but them.
The thing though, how many other mediums do we see this in? I don't see photographers doing stuff like "Car by ford. Jacob Construction of building in the background. Rayban shades. Franco jewelers for ring" and on and on. How many painters credit dole or sunkist for the fruit still lifes? Movies list certain things, but they certainly don't credit every last object they show.
I am not saying that we shouldn't do it. I am just saying that there is no real background of doing such credit giving. After all, is a vitual bowl more worthy of credit than a real pottery bowl? :)
But then again, this is a new world. Before now, we really haven't had a platform where we were able to show off our general work to everybody and credit them. Should we now do it because we can, or do we not do it because people never really bothered to do so before. Really, in the end, it is up to each one of us to decide that. :)
