I agree with all that. ;o)

Personally...I fully believe that no matter what kind of item it is, or what market in the world it resides in, that item is going to be emulated, copied, or  "reverse engineered".

(Bryce presets, cars, computers, t-shirt slogons...whatever)

*If it is retail, get happy with whatever money you can make with it, before the "clones" come out.

*If it is a freebie, just give it the heck away, period. This is how I am seeing it for myself and my stuff. I'd rather just take whatever Bryce freebies I've got and give up most rights to it, (other than just a straight re-sell). Especially, mat/sky presets. They are an area of too much possible speculation at to how much someone changed someone elses presets before they sold, them, claimed credit for them, etc.

A mental state of just giving them up, literally...is much better for me. I like it. ;o)

If I want money I'll sell add-on textures for daz figures or make original meshes like rj001.

Besides, if I can make good mats...give them away, and other people make more/even better mats off of my mats...then that will make me happier than what little money I would make with them. Bryce can make some very realistic mats, and skies, its just cracking that DTE! And, the better mats Bryce users have, the happier they are and we are better competition to other landscaping programs. (imho)
