I've done some modelling in the past months, and am thinking of sharing some of my models as Poser props.

The problem is, they're all textured with seamless tiles found on google images, and many of them will have restrictions for distribution. Like completely illegal to adding them in a download of a prop.

My question being, how do you people posting free props get around this ? Do you make all your textures yourself, and if so is there some freeware that helps in this process ?

Tnx.

Thanks for the links will check them out.

I discovered that adding the terms 'creative common license' in the search engine works miracles:)

Those are the ones that can be used, just had to find the correct English words for the license.

Texturing models is a bit of a problem if we are not called Learnardo Da Vinci and what is expected is photorealism. Using our own photos or using our graphic package is optimum and the most satisfying - create your own texture and you get that buzz of achievnment.

However, and there is usualyl a 'however', it may not be possible for you to take a photo of your needed texture or to create it in corel or photoshop.

There is an alternative that you might find unsatisfatory:

three images here. the first two are thumbnails from Myang, the third is a fusuon of the two that produces something very different: I would really suggest that you do not use anything larger than a thumbbnail that you do not have a right to use.
