Karen--

The item I suspect is a recent plant posting, it in the Poser -> Poser Ready Props -> Backgrounds and Environments category. I'm sorry, but since I suspect a shareCG submission, I'm just not willing to generate a view just to investigate.

It was in fact this package that generated my question in the Copyright forum and I gotta say, I'm still reeling from that answer.

Quote - I don't want to complain about freebies... but I can't help but feel that the Free Stuff section is being abused in order to generate Share CG hits. If I wanted to be really nasty about it, I'd call it spam.

Frankly, I wouldn't mind seeing an upload cap on freebies. It would not hurt those that are creating "legitimate" freebies, and it might get the others to at least bundle some of their similar items into zip files.

I have to agree, reluctantly, with Tammarion's suggestion of a cap. It is spam. And it seems as if it would be detrimental to the marketplace.

Where does it stop? If I see a tree prop, for instance, in the marketplace that would be perfect in the background of an image I'm working on, instead of buying the prop, can I go to the free stuff forum and request someone render it for me in a format that preserves the alpha channel? What if I see a new hairstyle-- could you render that for me with no figure and a plane down the middle so I just get a frontal shot?  Thanks, I'll composite it into my image...

I can't say that everything posted by these individuals are billboards, not meshes, but having been burned once, I'm just not willing to "reward" them with a hit to investigate. I wil send you the one I know is not a mesh.
