"I think that anyone who's that worried about the possibility that someone might make a buck from a picture with their model in it shouldn't bother with freebies." "I think you should certainly give credit when possible, and even notify the creator if you can. I mean, if someone used a model I created, I'd be interested in seeing what they did, commercial or not. But as I pointed out in my example above, sometimes it may not be feasible" I don't think anyone has a problem with somone making a buck from a picture with their model. And alot of people here use freebies that can't be used commercially because art is a hobbie for them, and those types of people couldn't care less what commercial restrictions something has. I think some people here just have a problem with not wanting to giving credit where it's due. The reason I say that is this. I'm not sure (since I don't do commercial stuff) if daz has commercial use restrictions on their freebies, I doubt they do. BUT I'm sure if they did, since they are a buisness with enough money to possibly sue a person that you would find it quite important to keep your readme that came with stuff like "plastic plane #109" (or whatever) so that you would know to NOT use the plastic plane in next month's "big project". I see alot of people here acting like it's too hard for them to keep the readme files for the models that they download for free. I think it's rediculous personaly. JMO. Cookie
