*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 someone claimed it to be 100% their work, it would be. The nature of Poser itseld is that most of the people use pre-made content, so just by putting an image in a 'poser gallery' one inherently states that the work is not 100% their own.

A little bit like singing kareoke, it's a known fact that what you're singing isn't 100% your original work, whether you mention the content vendors or not.

For me personally, by the time I'm done with something, I have no clue whom half of the content I used was purchased from. I credit vendors when it's practial, or when I really like the vendor's product.

When this type of usage may be considered plagiarisam could be if content was used instead of modeling and texturing something on one's own for a 3D class, or to obtain a job . Where the expectation is that everthing is your work, except as noted.
For something to be plagiarized, there has to exist an element of theft, or passing something as their own.

When content is purchased and used for renderings and posten n Poser galleries here on rendo, it's use is consistent with purchased license, and the license does not require vendor credit. So, there's no element of theft.

However, giving credit where practical would be a polite thing to do, from the community point of view.
