"A major magazine might look at the Renderosity magazine and say, [...]" Crescent, I think that the operative word in your statement is might. The answer is, "Just say no." I gave away my model for the magazine for free, even if they ask money for the magazine. Because I wanted to. Nobody forced me into it. As I see it, I downloaded tons of freebies from here. So why not give one of my own for other people to use? If they start specifically selling it here in the Store without my consent, it would be completely another matter. BTW, there are numerous similar examples, in ... SF, for instance. Small mags or even fanzines don't pay their contributors anything except copies. And people still allow their work to be published there. Renderosity magazine is not 3D World or Computer Arts, it's on the level of a small press magazine, at best. When RRM becomes a big-selling magazine, be certain I won't be giving them my work for free. On that other matter, Tim, you are aware that your repeatedly and publicly stated attitude towards Mehndi doesn't help your position at all? I haven't seen the "numerous attacks" since the quarrel about the exclusivity or whatever it was all those months ago.
