This is from the ReadMe of a Russian Vendor. "It is forbidden to use parts, and any commercial actions with models." Anyone have an Idea what that means? :

This thread may be visited by other vendors anytime. So true :) Thank you for asking the questions in the first place. It's good to know what the customers want and expect.

Brazze, you rock!! I'm sure your 'To-Do' list for future aircraft must be a mile long :)

Is there a report anywhere on the average income of what venders make there ? >Does it say any where what venders of the year make ? NAFAIK >Anyway at all to get a clue what one might expect to make ? >Is it reasonable to think I could make $100 a week at the market place ? You are dealing with an unknown. You can only guess at what will sell and what won't. Could you make $100 a week? You could make more and you could make less ... depends on what you are selling and what the customer base is buying :) There is no hard fast answer. If you think you have a product that people will open their wallets for ... then go for it!!

MUST BE THE FREAKING OVER 100 WEATHER!!! > >Oh and thanks for the help at least. > >Anyone needs me I will be in my little rubber pool Don't forget your rubber ducky ;)

I just clicked on [profile] and at the botom of the page was where I could send a site mail. It's different for you?

If you were a merchant PJF, I wonder where you would take your inspiration from? DUO saw a shape in an illustration and got inspired to model something in the same vane. This happens all the time! By now you've checked me out and see that I also sell spacecraft that, if you look at them with a squinty eye, look familiar. I get my inspiration in the same places as DUO, namely movies, TV shows, toys, pulp fiction, cartoons and novels plus the input from my nieces and nephews. This thread started out with DUO asking why he isn't MOM or AOM and is it because he uses Bryce. Being MOM is hard as you are dealing with people who vote with their pocketbook and it doesn't make a bit of difference what you use to make your product if no one, or not enough, buy it!!! As for AOM, DUO has, in my opinion, a good shot there. Hang in there DUO :)

Try the rayguns from Digital 3D Studios http://market.renderosity.com/softgood.ez?ViewSoftgood=32932 Not free but for $5.00 ... who cares :)

Lightwave users should be ashamed of themselves... No reason they should. Not everyone uses Lightwave here at Rendo and not every other program can suck in a LWO file. When Moe releases the 3DS/OBJ and Poser Editions he will have sales. Quality always shows and Moe has that in spades. John

Your off to a good start. Listen to pakled and Danno-O. A little hull detail will work wonders.

Dave-So Did you render your animation in Bryce? I have done some animations in Bryce and get the same effects that you see in your animation.

What is a clone account?

It's a fact, P4 dosen't have smoothing like P5/P6 Last I heard, the smoothing angle was over 179 degrees for P4! Does that mean that P5/P6 is over 180?

Most of the users have dynamic IP and not static >Neither the Gestapo nor the KGB will be able to do the task. Dynamic IP's are issued in blocks as assigned by ARIN. Data analysis will show which blocks are used and if the Gestapo or the KGB had the computer power that is out there now ... you get the idea :) True, being on a P2P is not illegal but the actions of a few who use it for illegal purposes will have ramifications on those who use it legally.

Modern P2P are distributed systems, there's no central to be located or shut down, >P2P don't download files from a single user, the files are downloaded in chunks and in some cases you can have downloaded your file from 1000 users. Each of those "chunks" had data as to where it came from and to where it is going. With data mining software, plowing through all those "chunks" will give the user of that software a map of any P2P network. It's just a matter of how badly they want to shut them down.
