I hav to agree with PBM here. Just what is it about open-sourcing 3D figures is it you disagree with? In Ironbear's tirade (sorry - that's the BEST I could call it), he makes claims that Zygote & CL/eFrontier are only doing this because DAZ is making money the same way. To which I have two things to say - first: DAZ does not open-source their figures (just read the EULA), and second: Sixus1 Media was releasing free figures (under much less stringent terms) long before the V3/M3 figures had their price slashed (where were the "OMG DAZ are trying to destroy &/or fleece the industry" calls then?) Simply put - what is WRONG with open-sourcing figures? If there is nothing wrong with the action itself - then all the conojecture about WHY they are doing it is meaningless. More to the point - a "distraction" from the good.
