Well I agree with some of what some people say, and not other parts... I still think freebies are an essential part of learning to use 3D programs, Bryce for me, other progs for others. I seem to collect a lot of freebies, but now and then either a freebie will have me saying - I can make one of those, or - I can make one of those and twist it to include this... and that, and even maybe end up with a totally different thing. Or even - I can't find a freebie to fit what I want, I'll make it myself. Or sometimes just browsing the freebies I'll find myself urged to just play with either wings or bryce (bryce I'm playing with nebulae and booleans at the moment) Wings I'm trying to figure out a bat, without much luck just now so that can be quite frustrating. I don't think freebies suck exactly, I mean look at some of the robots, or spaceships, or Harrison's train - man! There's just no way I could ever make such a train model, unless it was a wooden pull along toy, that's more my mark, and those aren't the sort of models I'd ever use... I don't think. So basically I think freebies are a great jump start to learning, even if there will always be people who just use freebies and presets, that's up to them, but if we create Bryce Gods along the way, then that's excellent! (or any other Gods, come to that).
