It's definitely a nice texture, but reading down the posts, my mind kept wandering back to the "certain members objecting" part. If you're giving it away to purchasers, I would say email them a link, and keep Renderosity completely out of the distribution, so nobody can claim/accuse the site of having anything to do with copyright infringement. Having gone through some of that myself, and you having done the same in the past, best to just take the easier way and not even risk one whiner. Okay, I'll stop now before I start sounding too bitter. Still a very nice texture/prop set though. Versatility is one of my main considerations for purchases, and if a freebie is versatile, even better. Also, giving away little freebies/samplers is always good for buisness.

Don't you people ever get tired of whining? I went straight to the source, emailed and they didn't " slap down a gnat" but somebody had to keep whining and whining until they got a moderator to pull my free stuff items. Well congratulations, I hope you feel better. In reply to... "However, he knows that what he has done is illegal... and the fact that he went back and changed all the names to "looks like" instead of removing the items, just confirms his guilt and his obstinancy." Why do you think I went through the trouble of emailing them to make sure I wasn't ticking of any legal department people? The looks like thing was basically to just get the whiners to shut up. If anyone had bothered to look at them, there is a very clear readme file that explains they are NOT my meshes, and in fact the legal property of infogrames/epic/digital extremes. Now could someone explain to me why almost every person I see whining the loudest has never contributed so much as a picture?

Just got a call from the fraud protection department at my bank. They got a flood of 1 cent purchases this morning and blocked all the cards. Also, when I went to see what was new at Renderotica, I was logged out for some reason, and my email and password both seem to be wrong now, for some odd reason. Seems to me like sombody got hacked soemwhere out there. I suggest anyone experiencing login or password problems check on their card status and look for any abnormal purchases. Then contact their bank/creditor immediately if they see anything strange on the card.

I couldn't tell you who originally drew it, but I'm glad to see somebody making good use of it and passing the ideas slong. I'm not too sure about the purple, and I think the colors are a bit rich if it was meant to be a tattoo. Hey, who am I to complain. I put it out there as a base for people to work from, and that's exactly what you've done. I was happy to see it show back up in the freebies.

Never liked lawyers myself. I've emailed infogrames and asked about this matter, and everything is on hold until I get a reply from them either way. Current downloads will remain in place, unless removed by a renderosity administrator. All bases thus far are covered. I changed the names of the dowloads with the loophole inducing "looks like" labels, and detailed exactly what 'I' have done so far in that email, without naming any person or website except the person said to have originally provided the 3ds files and textures.

If somebody who actually works for epic contacts me directly, and asks me to remove them, then fine. For now, I'll look to try and get in contact with epic and ask them directly if I'm allowed to do this, just to satisfy all those who say "are you allowed to do that?" In the mean time, the files that are already up, remain, and no further ones will be posted.

I got carried away and went ahead an uploaded 4 new props, sort of to get myself caught up to my list. Next up, the Pulse Cannon, and Flak Cannon! I still haven't done the Pulse Cannon, so don't expect these today. I also put a picture in the gallery of Malice blazing away with two enforcers. It was just going to be me trying to fix the translocator, which was actually going to be the first upload, but I got carried away. I seem to be good at that.

I asked the website where I got the meshes, and got no objections from them. As for epic. they weren't planning to make these props, I'm willing to wager, and I'm not proffiting off this, so what do they have to get upset about? They made the game very easy to modify and tweak, so why would they get upset that someone stepped outside the game engine and gave them some free press while they were at it?

The locations and rotations, not to mention scales of some of them may be off. I tried to get as accurate as possible, but hey, nobody's perfect, god-like maybe, but that's only with a sniper rifle on the CTF-Face map. Some of them were saved as smart props, and others were not, this was basically based on how much of a pain in my arse it was to get them in position. In messing around with them so far, I've found it easier to get them relatively close to the desired hand, then parent them, and finish tweaking the locations that way. The girl modelling all of these in the thumbnails, is my own little character Malice. Way too much stuff I've downloaded/purchased on her to even think about distributing her as a character. I'm probably capable of making my own stuff, but I don't really have the time to find out and start doing that as well. Until I've got a lot more time and money on my hands, I'll stick with tweaking and simple textures, as my contibutions to the poser community.

Mom? Mommy? can we have some more?

Alrighty, I'll look at one of my downloaded ones and figure out how to make them. Thanks

Ah, Ryoko, yep she was the first one I had wanted to do too, but she's probably also the hardest. She has fangs, unusually chaped ears, and what may look like a mop of har, would be pretty fifficult to do by just applying magnets to some already existing model. Washu, I think would be the absolute hardest hairstyle to make, but Ruoko comes in a close second. Of course once Washu's was successfully done, Nagi would be easy.
