This thread has giver me pause for thought because I am one of those who rarely credit freebie providers. My runtime is 97gb and I just cant remember where all the stuff came from and have no intention of spending hours trying to track it down. If a new model inspires my work then I will probably credit it, as with Martins Vue houses I used recently, but not s a matter of course. My problem is that many people I hold in high regard have posted to this thread and I seem to be in the wrong. I have therefore just returned to my earlier post and disabled comments so at least I can
t be credited with anothers models. I have always assumed that anyone posting a pic with their own models would say so and those that have gone the "usual" route and downloaded need not. Perhaps I can understand why a modeller would be upset if I use his models without cedit but should I then be just as upset if I post an image that contains perhaps $30 worth of content and has taken 3 or 4 days to create and then receive comments from only a fraction of the viewers after I have made it freely available to them?
On a slightly different tack I rarely buy any of the wonderful models of people like Stonemason simply because they make up the bulk of the work. You cant stick a figure in and claim credit but someone will probably praise you for the modelling/texturing if you post.People rarely read the text under the picture, let alone the credits.
Re reading what I have written it seems tI have come across as a liittle angry. Im not. I
m actually a little sad and dissapointed. Seems I may have annoyrd some people. So, my apologies and thanks for all past and future freebies.
