The point I make is that using another persons models means that the work u have created is not entirely yours, using the land and skys provided by bryce are tools that are part of the program, models u DL then bring into your pictures are not part of the program and are not yours, thus any pictures you make with those models are not entirely yours and you are in essence just coloring a picture. If you do not know how to make models then find out how, if you are not good at it then get good at it. And using analogies like cars and painters are not valid, this is 3D graphic arts, a new medium, an artist creates everything from scratch, and a car is a material possesion, neither of these has anything to do with 3D graphic Art. Using models that someone else has made in your pictures amounts to quick and easy paint by numbers work, and is not the same as an artist that makes every model in a picture and composes the entire picture or animation. If you insist on using someone elses models then you had better put a line in the description that acknowledges the model maker or makers. Otherwise what you are doing amounts to plagerism Another $5 worth of thought, but I think u will see my point
