I am just going to add a small consideration for you to think about. I do not agree wholeheartedly with the copy protection system, but I want to point this out: I have models made for Poser. These models are rigged for animation. When I release these as Vue versions, because they will not be rigged for animation, I want to charge less for them. But if the user can just buy the cheaper Vue version, export that to Poser, and do his own rigging, then I will have to keep my pricing for the Vue versions equal to the Poser versions, even though are are much simpler models. To give you a simple example (hypothetical). If I have a model of a Hurricane, the Poser version has 20 moving parts, but the Vue version will be two static models, one with the wheels out, and the propellor standing still and the cockpit open (for ground renders), and the other model with the wheels retracted, blade blur props and the canopy closed (for flying renders). If the Poser version sells for $20, I would like to sell the Vue version for $13 or so, but if it is expotable to Poser, this will not be possible. So I think some measure of encryption is called for, but I don't think it should be a blanket encryption, especially not on products that are Vue specific, like eco system plants.
