Hey peoples, My questions are this: Right now Adobe's Atmosphere output is not "protected". Meaning that not so clever people can easily "grab" avatars, worlds etc while using the program and browsing the internet. This includes the textures that we work on so hard. While a little trick of the trade is to place an empty html document named "index.html" or "index.htm" in the directory where your files are (this prevents people getting a directory list from your site of that directory and grabing things this way) preventing a "list" view online. It does not however prevent getting the direct ".aer", ".MTS" and ".MTX" files since they can be accessed and saved directly to ones own hard drive. So ..... 1) Is there a way to prevent this? It probely won't happen until Adobe and ViewPoint encrypts the files somehow. But I thought I'd ask anyway. 2) If I use a copywrited model (whether mine or a commercial model) what is the ussage terms if any? Since it is not for sale, and just used for pleasure and only in the Atmosphere domain what happens if someone "grabs" it or you want to give it as an avatar to a friend or community? I know this is kind of conveluded<--sp, but see if you can follow this. I.E. I have made an avatar from DAZ's Snowman. While it got converted to a ViewPoint model and the original object is now a very reduced polygon ViewPoint model and the texture map is also greatly reduced (so it's not really useful as a good model for rendering anymore except in ViewPoint -- but some poeple may want it anyway), will I get in trouble for passing it along to others? Thanks for any insight. James
