I don't really think that would work as a promotional ploy, expept for maybe a few brand new Vue users who aren't savvy with retexturing.

I'm lucky to have downloaded most of Alains models a long time ago when they were free and have retextured them myself, negating the need to purchase those from Corn.  I think that could be said of most Vue users.

He used to have his own website but that disappeared a long time ago though I know he's still around Renderosity as he commented on one of my images using his houses last year
