Huh? How about a human answer? Now I'm even more confused. Are you calling artist/merchants who list the products they use to create their images 'hard-boiled marketers'? Are they 'ham-handed, because they let people know what it is? This is hardly comparable to product placement. These ARE the products we use to create this art. And these are the images that SELL the products. Experienced marketing professionals know that it is much better to SHOW someone than to tell them. The MP shows the product. The gallery shows the product in action. That is always much more effective. It seems to me this is exactly what people what to know, because unless I'm really confused, this is a 3d site selling 3d products to people who are interested in buying and creating 3d images. Are you implying by the above 'quotes' that listing names of products under an art image will ultimately turn buyers off? Then why do you put the links in there that take them directly to the marketplace?. What is the purpose of product credits. Why do you advise us in the gallery info to list merchants and their products. Why should we exclude our own? Sorry, but your logic is not connecting on any reasonable marketing level with me. Or, what's going on in the Renderosity community. Renderosity sends all of us countless coupons, newsletters, and advertisements to encourage us to purchase more. Some might object to this but we don't, because we want to know what is on sale, and what's new, and what we are going to buy next. Because we have received the ads, the offers, and been stimulated by gallery images using products. In the year and a half we've been on Renderosity we've purchased thousands of dollars of products. As merchants, we've also made thousands of dollars for Renderosity. How about less 'quotes' and more real answers? Like how come people who aren't merchants have been put into the PSGallery? And all the other relevant questions that have been posted to this thread. Carol
