They would get a refund! I have never heard of anyone buying stolen goods at, say, WalMart.

Kendra, I did not discount SteffyZZ's situation. I said I felt sorry for ripped off vendors. I will not purchase anything from the pirates. I also said I did not care for the way she handled this situation. There is absolutely nothing hypocritical in my statements. She had no sympathy or solutions to offer the buyers. She dictated to the buyers, other vendors, and Renderosity like she was some sort of authority. I feel this is a very important issue, and I have a right to be offended and to express my opinions.

Stefania, How dare you say my money is not my property? Please read the quote - "The money paid for the pirated good is property." When you dictate what a customer can or cannot do with a purchase they made, that is an attack. Even if you are shown to have a right to do this action, it is bad business policy and you are going to lose way more sales from your harsh rhetoric than the pirate(s) have ever cost you. If I ran this site, I would cease doing business with you, because you are causing potential customers to doubt the legitimacy of this marketplace. BUYER BEWARE is a phrase I do not like to see. I will NEVER buy anything from you or anyone agreeing with you. I am sorry you are a victim. I am even sorrier for the buyers you are depriving of their hard-earned money. You offered no course for these people to get some sort of trade-in for your own product. You could have turned this into a positive marketing situation for yourself, instead you will lose sales due to your insensitivity.

I get error messages and only one product thumbnail, no dl link, and only a NEXT link. I will try disabling NAV and see if it loads properly. I do not plan on renewing, as there are too many problems with the site architecture. The products are great, but the place is a major hassle.

bijouchat, I feel bad for any artist being ripped off. That is beside the point that SteffyZZ intended to shift the status of victim to the buyer. You advocate supporting the vendor's property rights, but what about the property rights of the buyer? The money paid for the pirated good is property. I have been theoretical, as far as I know nothing in my purchases has been a pirated good. I take offense that SteffyZZ ATTACKED the buyers without going thru proper channels. She attempted to dictate to innocent members what they can do with their own property. I have nothing but her words, no proof, no court decrees. What if she is mistaken? I do not know if her accusations are true. I am simply creating my own policy towards buying stuff here. Any vendor placing the blame and loss on the buyers is no longer an alternative in my choices. I may miss out on some good product, but there are many others. I am an artist, I sell my Poser output, and I do not condone piracy of any sort.

Thanks, geoegress - I am learning that we customers have some rights in this affair, buying in Good Faith. I will be cautious, and I am making a list of vendors that blame the Customer. SteffyZZ will never get a sale from me. Anyone supporting her anti-customer views will never make a cent from me. I hope all the Customers do this. We can unite and stop vicious vendors from making us the victims of their problems. Also, I will avoid all the pirates.

All this has pretty much caused me to reconsider buying anything here ever again. I have bought dozens of great items, and rarely have been disappointed. But, if I have to worry about some whining crybaby vendor worried about missing potential profits and alleging theft, then trying to sue me for buying something they believe to be stolen - too much BS for me. SteffyZZ - I hope they thank you, Renderosity and ALL the merchants, for dealing with this in such a poor manner, and causing a major consumer to stop buying here. I am going to suggest to all the vendors I have bought things from to sell someplace that will protect my rights as a customer. I will not have some cry-baby voiding my purchases under threat of lawsuit with that facistic DMCA crap. Welcome to the new Corporate States of America.

Well then, ookami, if you are a vendor, then I shall NEVER buy anything from you. Anyone else want to get on my "Never Buy" list?? The stores get shut down. The pirates are stopped. The loss is on the vendor. Anyone who disagrees, you are on my list. Now you lose any potential sale. Your complaints are more damaging than the piracy. If too many vendors are going to place the loss on the buyer, I will stop shopping here altogether. There are other sites where I can trust the legality of the products.

As a customer, if I buy something which turns out to be stolen, I will not stop using it. The vendor who has been robbed is not being robbed by me. I see no reason why I should pay for something and not be able to use it. The ripped-off vendor must take a bit of a loss. If I have to assume this loss, then I will stop buying anything except from the most established vendors. These are not solid, concrete items like a dvd player. This is a copy, a copyright issue. I doubt any of the vendors could afford the legalities to stop it. The loss is a part of the cost of doing business. It is less of a loss than if I and all other customers begin to avoid new vendors. If I see a vendor harassing the customers who bought the "pirated" item, I will avoid buying anything from that vendor.

Thanks Ockham! I use your scripts regularly. I will give this a try and send feedback. Is it possible to make a script to delete selected textures from the list? I often have dozens of textures that I have decided to not use, but still have to scroll through them. Any tool to help manage the textures would be a big help.

Hi Clint, Apparently I am the victim of a stealthy IE upgrade. The functioning of downloading has been changed. I will have to determine how to control it. I did get the file, it seems to be saving it in a temp file and then lets me place it at the end of the download. Thanks for the help. -fritz

Thank you very much, Clint. I appreciate the quick reply! -fritz

I have used PhotomodellerLite and Geometra. There is a lot of technique involved. I will use a marker to place reference points directly on the model I am using, then take the photos from several angles. The results you can get depend upon the preparation. It IS possible to get a good model with photogrammetry. It takes practice and skill, the same as in any 3d modelling app. Organics are possible. Cars and trains are good subjects. I use kit-models. Try the free versions, as they are sufficient to get good results. Another approach is to make a quick and dirty photogrammetry model, then import it into a 3d modeller and use it as a reference, a 3d blueprint.

No offense taken, Migal. I can never recall the correct name for it. It works well on V3. I need to try it on a few of the other items I have that use Injection Poses.

Sorry, I was at a loss for the correct name of the app. That is what I am referring to. It works as stated.
