I would have posted soon but I want to take some time and think about this giving credit when use stuff that I did not make myself (free or otherwise).

This is what I finally decided my policy will be on giving credit. I have read all of your arguments and they all have valid points what comes next is just my point of view and I put it out there for your consideration. Lets say the image(s) that I render are compared to a research paper. The information in the paper that I did not know and had to look up could be equal to a part of an image that I did not make from scratch but got from someone else. In my paper when I am done with it I would need to include a bibliography, not doing so is a big no-no, it is called plagiarism. Yes? To use someone else work (free or not) in an image and not give them credit isn’t it similar to doing a report without a bibliography?

If you look at my gallery you will see that I do not use the credit links that are there when uploading, but I will keyboard in all the stuff that I used and where to fine them, even the stuff that comes bundled with Poser 7. I also will try to describe what if any changes I made to that content. When I ask for a comments I am looking for input on design, layout and now textures. Currently I am involved in a series using my “Flower Girl” I do not feel the need to repeat credit info. in every new image just credit the new stuff (for the base stuff see the first image).

I am interested in your thoughts on my ramblings.
