But the banks are influenced by social standards and morals. Politics has a large influence on these.
I'm sure that it'll become 'free'er(sp?)'. The religious nuts will have a LOT less influence as science and reason is promoted vice blind religious and moral dogma.
Thanks @cantonesejim, You jogged my memory and yes, I also seemed to remember that. It's too bad it never took off.
Thanks @khefrenn, I know that there WAS such an undertaking at one time, maybe it was through Blender? Does anyone recall what it was? A search didn't turn up anything.
Thanks!Wasn't MetaHuman originally an open source freebie project to make a universal figure for all 3D programs? You know, one base figure to 'rule them all'?
@eelgoo, I'm not either. I was thinking more about some of the nifty new (and expensive) tools that are being offered.
@eelgoo, Do you think my idea about the donation/purchase funds combination might work?
Higher prices only encourage more piracy.
That's only if someone is willing to be the person who buys it. I've watched (as I'm sure many of us here have) many, many people request the item but rarely see it bought and filled. The idea of a group buy is a solution to this but again, someone's got to take the lead.
I had floated the idea a while back of people making a donation to help pay the site's hosting costs. Some of this donation would go towards a certain expensive item. Only those who had donated to the site would quietly get the item. It might be openly shared after several months.
In order to ensure that only known members of the community where involved and keep out vendors and people from the broker's sites, this would be limited to long established and contributing members. We might make a separate passworded thread.@otero33, You're absolutely correct Paca. This is the main reason I stopped 99% of my sharing a couple of years ago. I do some 3D model making and had become friends with several artists. I could see how it was hurting their business AND insulting their talent. To assuage my guilt over years of piracy I began buying their products even if I didn't want them. I still do. It lets me sleep better.
@medusa, you've been inside my head haven't you?
The idea of group buys was floated several years ago, back when there where a lot of highly creative and active people. While many where in favour it never took off.
I can't see any artist or vendor site bothering with us if we did it since they don't try and take down the several subscription download sites.
It seems that renaming the file worked. The file is now called "Kittens&Puppies.zip
I just submitted the post.
Let me know how the downloads go...or don't.Someone sent it to me and I'm uploading it as I type.
errrrrr...Bunkr SAYS it's uploading but after letting it run overnight there's been no progress.
Are there other takedown proof file hosts? I could share it via Emule. This has been bomb proof for decades.I bet that if he priced his models more affordable and competitively to the market, then he might actually have more sales compared to charging high
He'd also see a lot more piracy. We have to admit that we are shooting ourselves in our own feet to some extent.
Oooooooo...thanks for that link @ducksick, I may drop him a request.
