OT, saw this and wanted to see what others here thought. I rarely use backgrounds as I want a full 3D environment, but saw a new set of 2D images that are being marketed for use as image backgrounds from a vendor called Melkor. I checked out their store and that is pretty much all they market, 2d backgrounds. Now the issue I have with it, they are mostly done using existing 3D sets from people like Stonemason and such which seems wrong IMO.
If I was to create a 3D city landscape for sale, the last thing I would want/allow is someone to sell images done using it for background purposes as it would take away from what my product is mainly used for, background. Basically that person would be making profit off of me in using their product to compete with mine, kinda like rendering high res images of an existing character and using those renders to make a new character to sell.
