I had the time, inclination, and desire for a magnet set for Stephanie Petite. When I made it there was no other Magnet set for STephanie Petite available. So, I made one. I offer it for sale. That does not mean that Wyrmmaster has to leave, or stop making product. When competition heats up, the idea is not to leave the marketplace, but make your product even better than the other guy. My history is similar to Shadownets in my own independant knowledge of Cr2 editing and magnet use. That is not to say I didn't learn anything from Wyrmmaster...not at all. Much like I would've never thought of spacing a couple of dozen lights equidistantly and keeping them dim until Blackhearted's Global Lighting was introduced. Now, I could probably make my own if time/inclination inspired me to do so. I tried to give Wyrm a percentage, but it created a messy situation where his name was associated with the product. Since that time, Wyrm and I have come to an understanding, in which he relays the following: This is Wyrmmaster. I want to make it perfectly clear that I am not leaving Renderosity because of William_the_Bloody's product. I am leaving because I have to re-think the way I produce products. My Dynamic Deformer system was possible because of the efforts of people like Nerd, rbtwiz, DAZ, and others who shared thier techniques and hacks with the community. EVEN IF I COULD HAVE LEGALY BLOCKED HIS PRODUCT I WOULD NOT HAVE DONE SO! He contacted me before he released his product and he tried to give me 20 percent of his product, out of respect for my effort pioneering the techniques. He is a mature, responsible member of the community with a great understanding of how poser files work. I wish him the best of luck and you should to. (Sent 1/17 20:57) Keep in mind that Wyrm has said he would sell product elsewhere. There isn't really any loss, there are now only more choices for you. To those of you who are awaiting his Steph Petite package, I am certain you will have an excellent product. -WTB
