A while ago a post was wade about a free tiger model at Dedicated Digital dimensions, but at this moment the tiger is temporarily offline. Just now when I need one. Is anybody by any chance willing to mail it to me? Preferabily 3dmax-format, but the poser version is also ok. Hey thanks. steven.heyse@belgacom.net

sorry can't do this. Copyright protection and such. Hopefully they will have the model back on line shortly. Alternativly you can attempt to write them and see what they will do for you. Never hurts to ask, worse they can do is simply ignore the request.

If you can't wait, bloodsong has a tiger character, complete with morphs and textures, for the Poser lion at 3D Menagerie.

Why is it a problem to share a free download with someone who missed it? Seems that if there were "copyright problems" they wouldn't be just giving it to anyone who wants it free. Consider this a dumbbutt newbie question if you want, but it just doesn't make sense to me. Beav

Most license agreements say that the model can be used but not redistributed. That's the deal.

Copyright is the creators rights to the product. This gives the creator the sole right of distribution. Without it no artist would be able to recieve pay for any work as anyone could use that work for any purpose once it is published. This also gives the right to the creator to say how it can be distributed and used. This includes but is not limited to the manner in which it is shared or used. This means the creator can state if the item can be shared amongst the community and even if the item can be used for commercial works. In some cases the creator can sell or give away commercial rights to otherwise restricted works to anyone they please, but only the creator can make this determination.

These freebies are also a means of drawing traffic to a website. In other words, they attract potential customers. If they were redistributable, there would likely be no need for others to visit the site.

Well, that can't be the problem, as I have visited the site A LOT of times lately ;o)
