It's not easy to say something to such words ... but I will try to give this and that thought. Let me start by saying I understand both sides. As usual I can only think about this situation from my point of view. Of course it IS easy for myself giving away freestuff - because I earn my money in another (well - I would say more or less) normal job. So I don't have to worry about people giving away something for free for what I've maybe worked t long time to sell it for more or less money. I recently tried to sell something of my poses (well, that's what I'm known for) - but by doing that I tried to give away something special to make this stuff worth buying. Let me say that I'm a little bit proud of the stuff I'm selling but I'm not so mad to think I could do a living out of this. You should consider very well to depend on something. And I think Poser - and the stuff around Poser is not something you can build a living on - you can earn extra money with it - but ... getting your food and your money for the landlord from it is a calculation that is very vague (from my point of view - to say it again). To much risk anotherone is more talented or a technique could erase your work by just a piece of code. Do I blame the people by giving away freestuff ?? No - I don't. Because if I would do so - I have to point at my face in the mirror because I think I can say that I'm the one who destroyed the market for poses by giving away so much poses for free (well - you might agree to that or not - but I think I'm telling a little bit the truth). Once (oh - it's only a few years back) we're all shared our work and there was only Zygote (later on DAZ) who was selling stuff and we all thought - oh, well - do they really think they could make money with that ?? Now, we know it is possible and I would say they're selling good products. The same happened to Poserworld and I would say Rena and Steve are also selling good products. The borderline between freestuff and selling stuff is a very thin line and a fluid one also. The market is still very small and you have to be really good if you want to make money from what you're doing. And - well - if you're to good you have to face another problem - the file-sharing problem. These are all not very good points to decide depending on selling stuff for Poser. To blame other people for not selling your stuff is naturally another thing. For myself this is just a sign of bad style. You want people buying your stuff ?? OK - then make stuff that is worth buying !! You want satisfied customers ?? OK - then do something for your customers in helping and asking them what they want !! You want to be accepted as serious artist ?? Then accept the good work of other artists !! You found out that you don't have the talent but you want to live from selling things in 3D ?? Uh-oh - you should consider learning or doing something else or you might end under a bridge (oh - don't take this as a joke - I know such things can happen to everyone and without their own fault) Poser is changing more and more to a pure business - I really regret this - but I (and noone) can stop it. I only know one thing - I don't want to see the day it is only business - before this happened I will have left long ago ... Happy posing Schlabber
