Because not everyone is a modeler.

Don't even have to model it. Here's how:

In Poser, bring in a cube, scale it, build a texture or two and a displacement map, and there's your board. Add a few flat sheets with some (existing or otherwise) textures for it and some mild wave/magnet action on each (a Poser feature) -- or you can just use the freebie supermorph sheet that TrekkieGirl posted for P4 a couple of years back instead of the default square, and there's your papers.

I just described a 20-30 minute effort (ab't 15 minutes for a fully savvy and undistracted Poser user who knows P-Shop or GIMP well enough) that can be saved as a prop and opened later.

Note that I'm not trying to put the guy (girl?) down. I like that someone is interested in modeling stuff, and he/she has a good head start in the right direction.

What I am trying to do OTOH is to ask him/her to stop and think about value.

If it were clothing, hair, or other tougher-to-make items, or if it were a part of a larger set (either a room or as part of a sort of clutter kit), then sure - we'd be getting somewhere. But just a single item that prolly has lots of freebie equivalents (if one knows where to look), or can be made in very short order w/o so much as double-clicking the icon to a modeling app?

I'm not claiming to be any better - I'm only stating it from a business viewpoint.
