Mosca, PhilC made a model. He's selling it for $30. I'm making 8 textures (taking an hour or more for each one) in each of 6 different colorsets. So that's 48 textures. Plus bumpmaps for each one. That's 96. Plus transmaps, which gets up to about 120 (variations). I'd say that would be more than 150 hours worth of work, if you add in the back-and-forthing needed to check seams on every single texture. And not to mention setting up MAT's and packing the mess. So should I charge more than $30 total for all 6 texture sets? If I charged you all what I charged a client (as a professional CG artist here in NYC), I don't think anyone would enjoy it. So I think pricing each of my 6 texture sets at about $25 is bloody reasonable. So Mosca, feel free to whine all you like. The fact of life is that time is money. My time = your money. If you think I'm overcharging - feel free not to buy it. Lyrra
