Quote - I mean, I can upload the most basic poser prop to the free stuff and it will be downloaded 100's of times. Why don't people just get a copy of Wings and make such things themselves?

Because it's difficult.  I tried Wings and could not do anything with it.  Just could not wrap my head around it.  I've got a degree in engineering and am trained in using CAD programs, so I'm not unfamiliar with tech stuff, but I couldn't figure out Wings. 

I've tried many other modeling programs, free and not.  The only one I had any luck with was Anim8or.  I do occasionally make simple props with Anim8or, but I'm not very good at it, and I don't find it particularly fun or interesting. Then there's the texturing.

If I can download it for free, or buy it for a reasonable price, I'd much rather do that.
