************************************************************ (there are copyright laws too, which a lot of people don't realize. For example, if you alter something in any noticeable manner, regardless of who created it, the altered version automatically becomes yours, with which you can do whatever you want). ************************************************************ Sephyn74 - If you think this true you are very mistaken! I have read a number of art copyright law rulings where people were SERIOUSLY SUED--SUCCESSFULLY- with this mistaken belief that a "30% change" or whatever is enough for you to claim your own copyright. NOT SO. The artist only has to show that you based your work on their work- (not the "idea", which is a different matter.) People have been asked to leave the Renderosity Store after having done EXACTLY THAT- basing their textures on another artists textures. They only need to show provable TINY details of copyright enfringement to make it a copyright violation.
