quoting zippy:  > Quote - I'm taking them all down and closing the freebie site, partly because I get virtually no thanks from downloaders for supplying them, and partly because they look so awful - which may be why people don't comment. People won't miss my old models as there are far better ones in the store and freebies. I was thinking about rebuilding them all and selling them in the store.

     It has just dawned on me who you are.  I accidentally came across an ad for Poser 6 in the autumn of 2005.  I knew of Hollywood studios using CGI, but didn't know one could get such a program for personal use.  I bought my first PC and Poser 6, and began to try to learn.  Some established artists pointed out some freebie sites to me.  My first animation features your big oak tree models and the blackberry vine-covered fencing.  Your trees were the only ones I had seen which were big enough to suggest old growth, and they had complete canopies, which allowed me to fly Tinkerbell over the forest.
     Understand, it took a while for me to learn the etiquette of the 3D community.  I am guilty of not having thanked you when I downloaded your models.  Belatedly, I apologize for that.  Your models were a great blessing to me when I was a newbie, and I still use them now.  I would hope that you would continue to offer those freebies and commercial models, so that others who are now new to 3D would also be able to benefit from you.

Thank you, Zippy, for those big old oak trees! :D
