Legally speaking, unless you actually developed the mats, from SCRATCH, (that means starting all the little channels at '0') they are not yours. If you used anyone's mat and just tweaked it a little,the copyright still belongs to the ORIGINAL creator. Although I have seen Bryce preset mats passed off as original, they are not, and if you suspect someone of doing this please report it.
Note:There are included in the DTE 'starting points' (i.e. clouds, rocks, etc) for creating mats, to use those you must make sure that the new mat in NO WAY resembles the 'base' mat(s) you started from, but like I stated above legally you would need to create them from scratch, to claim them as your copyrighted mats.
Rosity is very strict on this copyright thingy so be careful what you pass off as your own, as it can get you banned for life.....=(
BTW, the DTE is not as difficult as it may look to beginners, and once you get to know the settings, can be alot of fun, we've have one challenge in the DTE, looks like it's time for another, this means lots of free mats to share...=)
Just a thought....
