Awhile back there was an issue with a particular terragen render where a person used a world file n terrain from someone else, he changed the camera's position n rendered it. He ended up with the most views or the most comments for this render along with the top20. Ppl praised him on the lighting (when he didn't do the lighting), surfaces (same thing), terrain (even tho he didn't make it).. and praised him for his "masterpiece". It ticked some of us off.
He had credited the person who created the world file n terrain, I guess a lot of ppl don't read that stuff. I couldn't do that because it would feel like it was a rip off. When it comes to Poser, I'm with Dann in that it wouldn't feel like it's my art. I never quite understood a lot of poser users, what do they think when they look at their finished render? .. "I did a great job putting this together"... when they upload their renders to renderosity they credit.. pose came from this person, character came from that person, textures, jewelry, clothing n props n lighting came from this n that person, hair came from this person. And I dunno what to comment on... nice job with the pov and hitting the render button?
