Quote - Why pay for a prop when you can get it free from me?

I think creators overestimate the value sometimes. I don't know your items but to be honest, I guess if one browses through the freebies for example in this forum, I don't believe that users would pay for more than 2-3 % of the freebies. Most of them are indeed props, simple things that any beginner with a modeling software could create. For Poser beginners they are nevertheless great, I used a few of them when I started with Poser. This should also be considered, when people start with a 3D app they already spent their money on the program, in some cases they also spent money for better PCs, more RAM. You really don't want to spend your money then on little props like a beer can, a coffee mug or a set of poses, that has to wait.

But I also think that people who create valuable free Python scripts that are used for years, I'm a fan of SDVL's 'texture filtering off' and Bagginsbill's VSS, should be rewarded. Smith Micro could offer them a deal to integrate these scripts (and the environment sphere) into Poser. Because they help to make Poser a more enhanced program for the users, yes this should be paid by SM and not the users, great features for the software.  And they really work and don't need a SR.
