Just to add my two cents to this... Canadian so guess it's not worth a lot ~s~ Anyway. I love the freebies and the artists that provide them. I have personally thanked many of them. I do ebook covers and never know from day to day what I'll need. Sometimes I will need something obscure and buying a model for a one shot deal would have had me in the poor house long ago. I've get paid very little so far what I do, but it's still considered "commercial renders" so I'm very careful about the freebies I pick up. I will dance through any hoops the artist has if I want the model. I don't mind going to their site. It's usually inlightening. The only complaint I could have is not knowing if I am able to use it freely in renders before downloading. I always read the readme's carefully and if it doesn't outright say I'm able to use in any render I delete it no matter how much I like it. I don't want to forget somewhere down the road. Like someone said, in the beginning I downloaded everything I could get my hands on. Having to reformat the HD a couple times was a good way to clean everything out. Now only stuff I'm sure of is in my Poser. Anyway, a big thank you goes out to all who supply freebies. A lot of them have had to do things different because of their server restrictions. Rather than just saying to hell with it and leaving us high and dry they still manage to do it. I'm sure not going to complain. Thanks.
