I got a laugh out of that. Especially the top myths part.

There's also the people who complain about textures, but don't seem to notice that there's a nice template included and the UVs are already there. Figure it out already. And then there's those that gripe about rigging, but don't realize that not everyone has that specialty - some things shouldn't look like Gumby after a skiing acident involving a wood chipper. Considering that it's free, and if they want it done right, those people should try rigging it themselves.

Also some freebie makers aren't afraid of additional developments or improvements done to their models. Provided the spirit of the original design is intact, they wouldn't mind taking back a more finished item based on the original "plain" model (but now with rigging and textures) - then adding credits for the additional work to an updated release package.

Another ironic thing is that it's rare to ever see freebie add-ons for freebies, but if you were to ever take the same thing and sell it somewhere...  All of a sudden there's people developing related props and textures for it. Why is that?
