My exact point, I can model something in a few hours...the rest the painful long part, is all the rest.

that is why it makes me wonder...just model it themselves <

I've refit several Genesis and V4 clothing items to LaFemme for RPublishing. All of them conforming (not dynamic). In that case, I'm getting the directive straight from "the horse's mouth" to do them. They are always listed as RPub products, but I also get credit for the refits. And believe me, it's not a party. I'm working on a few now that have geometry that is tough to rig in spots, so I ended up remodeling them anyway. LOL Same types of garments, but cleaner geometry.

But yeah sometimes you get commissioned to fit stuff from character A to character B. But when I do that I add additional value ... for example, new UV maps, all new PBR textures with SuperFly/FireFly compatible shaders, etc etc etc. If only 25% of the work is retained, and 75% of the work is new to bring it up to current standards, then I think it's reasonable to give the "new" creator credit for the work - PROVIDING they had permission or contract to do it in the first place. But that's just me. 8-)
