Alright. Hang on a second....I'm confused here. I'll try to explain so far, and hope that I haven't hurt my reputation too much. The texture that I posted pictures of is not entirely done all by me. There are a lot of modifications done by me, but as I said, it's done with pictures, pattern overlays in Photoshop and other things. Now, first of all, it seems that I have been had. In one of my previous posts, I stated that it would be very hard to create a texture from scratch, so I went to work with a new idea. I found some basic textures that were free to use for whatever purpose I desired. I made sure that these textures were free for use. My idea was to take some textures with only a little detail and add my own details from photos and then overlay a pattern in Photoshop to make it more realistic. I was going to work my way up. I had a problem though....I couldn't make it realistic enough. I was talking to a friend, and he told me that he had a few photo-realistic textures I could use. He sent me a folder full of them, and only a few were actually useable. He gave no readme.txt's or anything with them. For all I know, Stefyzz's texture could be in one of them. It appears that I used her texture as a base....I would never knowingly rip off someone's work. I have bought nothing from the online store, and only glanced at it. I was told that these textures were created by my 'friend' and could be used as long as I changed them and didn't use them as they were. There were no credits actually on the picture itself, so I had no idea that these were someone else's and not his. I apologize for this -_- . There's not much else I can say about this besides it's back to the drawing board....I apologize to all who might have been offended. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to make things better. Once again, I apologize to everyone, especially Stefy.
