What site would you folks say is most freestuff friendly (in terms of allowances for representative imagery and such)?
Also do many renderosity members visit the freestuff forum and do you feel it is inappropriate to start a thread here, on the poser forum, about something you've created for freestuff here or even elsewhere?
This one used to be fairly relaxed as far as freebies go. But now it is sort of a mess. I do not visit the free stuff forums much, but that is more because I probably already have something similar. I have been making and collecting freebie stuff for years, but I basically stopped downloading them when the whole thing about how you can use them erupted and the mods started deleting things from forum posts, the gallery, etc. Now if I need something I do not have, I usually just make it and be done with it, then no one can cry about how I used their precious freebie. I have better things to do than bow to the conditions tied to a freebie. Most of them are normal conditions, some of them are not. If it says not for use in commercial work, I might not even download it. If there are additional bs conditions, I just skip it and everything else they contributed. Almost all of the freebies I ever released are released to the public with a GNU license. I wish more people would do that, but it probably wont happen. None of my freebies are hosted here, you do the math on that. As far as threads go, start a thread where ever you want, about what ever you want. If you are worried about it, put OT in the beginning of the title. Ask all the questions you want as well, but don't be surprised if you do not get an answer right away. The mods might move a thread to an area they deem it should be in, and it will appear to have disappeared because more often than not no one tells you it was moved. If it is a Poser freebie I would think it would be Poser related, but the rules vary by Mod, so who the knows what will happen.
There is no consistency here, so being plan on inconsistency......
Some things are easy to explain, other things are not........ <- Store -> <-Freebies->
