Again I'm not talking about acknowledging a creator. Yes I assume nothing is for free unless it says so in the read me and I'm fully willing to acknowledge and contact the creators. My complaint is if there was an easier way to know something has a fair use disclaimer on it BEFORE I go through the trouble of downloading it. For example, Morph Targets. I've actually found MTs that say "Cannot be used for profit" in the read me. If that is included in a "morph man" or "morph woman" pack then I gotta rip those out? I can only use this "nose wide" mt for non-profit renders? Wow. Jaager - I agree. If my prop was put behind a paysite wall for download or put in a props pack for resale on a CD then I'd be pissed. This stuff happens to my artowrk all the time. If its used in a render that gets put on a paysite then I'm happy it at least got used. Again, any original stuff I make like my office cube prop is fair use or I wouldn't bother posting it. I only disclaimer my stuff if its a combination of others' work or based on someone else's meshes. My car mods for example have a non-profit disclaimer in the readme because I did not create the original mesh. I plan never to do that again. Heck you go over to 3dcc and about 75% of the figures have this no profit disclaimer on them. Well that's fine but then what can people use the thing for. You can only make so many private renders before they are otherwise useless. Why not just post a pic of this great figure if you don't want it used outside of private use.
