I just wanted to know what the feeling of the community was. Before I started posting, I read and re-read many opinions about whether what we do here is art, particularly if we don't build the Geometry and textures. I will not even get into that here but it did bring up some stuff about credits, I ( my opinion ) think of what we do as more like a Collage Even though I am begening to build my own textures and hopfully soon Original Geometry. Now having done a certain amount of compilation work. I have never credited my collage work before, but seeing that many folks did here. I do, to the best of my ability. I think it is a good pratice. What I want to know, and am taking forever to get to. If I use a free piece, I of course credit it, am I as obligated to credit a piece that I have purchased, and have bought the legal right to use in finished images?? I will probably continue to but wanted to know what you all thought.
