Subject: Product credits

I like to give credit where credit is due when I upload an image. The problem is, I usually use so many products from so many merchants that the ten Product Credit entries on the upload page can't cover them all. And, just like many artists here, I also use products purchased from other sites, such as RDNA and DAZ. At the moment there is no easy way to credit the merchants at the other main 3D sites... I also use lots of freestuff, and the only way to credit the makers is in the notes. So I'd love to see three changes in the upload page: 1) more entries for product credits (20 entries instead of 10 would be great); 2) ability to enter product credtis for items purchased at other sites, linking to the site where the item was purchased; 3) product credits for freestuff, linking to a search result for their freestuff contributions. Product credits for freestuff is the feature that I'd love to see most. The freestuff providers are the ones that keep us all going and I strongly feel they deserve credit for it! I think the easiest way to implement wish #2 is to have sites like RDNA, DAZ, PoserPros show up as merchants. The freestuff credits could be implemented in a similar way to the Product Credits dropdowns. Is this a useful idea? What do you think?

The pen is mightier than the sword. But if you literally want to have some impact, use a typewriter

Great idea, I agree entirely.

It is a good idea. Many times I have my product credits listed in a text format and then put them into the credits boxes as needed. For items that are PP or Daz exclusive but merchants are also here, I put the Site name after the product name in parenthesis. For example, Daio is a merchant here and at PP. I love to use her drow stuff which is exclusive at PP, so I will use the drop down here and note the site in teh product Entry "Drow Warrior for M2(PoserPros)" Another feature would be to allow for the adding of a second merchant name on one item. I.E. Danie & Marfarno's items.

Look at yourself in the mirror. Are you labelled? i.e. product of Bob and Jill Smith (who are your parents). Are your clothes labelled on the outside where everyone can see.....i.e. trousers made by Kmart, breasts my Doctor Kaner? I view my art in pretty much te same way. My art may be the final product of a compliation of many products from many artist...but I've made it my own and I don't think I should have to put product labels on it.

If I look at a picture with a long list of product credits I get distracted and end up trying to figure how which prop is which and how it was used and textured and I lose sight of the wonderfulness of the image.

I'm sure most merchents appreciate the product credits because it's good advertising for them and that's fine. I'm not trying to take anything away from anyone. I don't think there is anything wrong with posting product credits if you chose to do it. I'm not a merchent, I'm not trying to sell a product. I'm a wannabe artist trying to sell and develope my skill. This is just my personal opinion on product credits. But if I chose not to, I hope people will understand why.

It's not required to post the credits. It's more common courtesy. I wouldn't worry about it.
