Well, what I have viewed is this, there are new people starting out all the time, and they are testing the waters, learning, growing and trying to see if they could get a few dollars for their creations. It takes a long time to create any kind of model, free or for sale, and the marketplace here is a great place to start. People become part of this community for many reasons, you get alot of help by many experts that have been here and are still here. The community here is great and has a lot of support for many. Whether it be free or not. We like to offer free stuff to help teach people and also aid them when they need it. Many people helped us so much when we started that we want to reward them with the only thing we can, free stuff. I look back at our beginning work free and for sale, and laugh cause it is so awful, but we grew from that, and if had not been for this community, I really don't think we would be around. I can see what you are saying but you have to view it from a different angle. We have been here forever, seen a lot of great modelers come and go, we have seen not so great modelers come and go. It can be hard on us sometimes, because it does take effort to create models. And we all try really hard. I don't know one modeler or texturer that wants to turn out something awful, we just all learn at different rates. Some want to or have to be rewarded somehow due to the time put in or maybe someday their dream is to be able to do this full time, something they love. Nothing wrong with that. I look back and want to hug everyone here, only because they have been so kind and open. It is the best place still, and I have been in alot of forums, but this place....strong and supportive. Sharen
