Boy I sure do have a history of raising hell whenever I decide to release something. I seem to keep introducing controversy... as some of you may remember I did try to do a different texture to Anton's Changing Ponytail, and all the negative comments and arguments that went on made me decide to not release it. As for here, a new Muse namely Nance sent me some IM's that gave some new sparks as to how I might improve and innovate on this idea, so stay tuned. Replying to Bloodsong's comment "do you want to release it for free? and if so, why?" Well basically it's because I feel it's something so "simple" that I should be able to make it on my own and not have to pay money for it. Not to devalue it in anyway, but it just doesn't seem right to have to pay for a UVmapped plane basically! I feel that since I didn't want to pay money for it, I'm sure a lot of others didn't either, so I'm considering releasing it for free. I started this thread to get a reaction and train of thought as to what this trend meant. I feel like I am doing something counter culture to the Sell, sell, sell attitude. I, for one, would love to see people start releasing things for free that are as good if not better then what's available in the Marketplace just so that we could raise the bar a little bit. So that not every average Joe could make a sucker out of me. Once again, in no way implying Nerd's product or any particular product is not worth the money, but you must admit that we are seeing a whole lot more "low quality" products being sold. If things are available for free of equal of better quality, it would only drive the vendors to improve upon their existing products. It's a backwards way of maintaining quality control. As far as I'm concerned, this is my product, my creation, and mine to do as I please, but I did ask out of respect for the "original creator". Note also that ideas are only legally protected if they are patented, I don't see anyone in the Marketplace flashing patent on anything they do. It's how the free world runs, people have ideas and everyone races to offer the best way to materialize them. I just didn't want to seem rude and thoughtless that's all.
