Carl's Corner :)

Now that sounds like fun.

Now what about my idea for a three part filter that all three of us make? I don't mean we each make part of one filter, but make three filters that work together.

Still working on the what part.

1, 3, and 4 make me think of plastic canvas projects from the 80's and also makes me think of needlepoint.

Hey cool

No how dare you I ment grungy [which may not be appropriate for this project]

Dear Wife,
I'm writing you this letter to tell you that I'm leaving you for good.
I've been a good man to you for seven years and I have nothing to show for
it. These last two weeks have been hell. Your boss called to tell me that
you had quit your job today and that was the last straw.

Last week, you came home and didn't even notice that I had gotten a new
hair cut, cooked your favorite meal, and even wore a brand new pair of
silk boxers later that night.

You came home, nibbled at your food for two minutes, and went straight to
sleep after watching all of your soaps. You don't tell me you love me
anymore, you don't want sex anymore or anything. Either you're cheating on
me or you don't love me. Whichever is the case,,,,I'm gone.

Signed,

Your EX-Husband

P.S. Don't try to find me. Your sister and I are moving away to West
Virginia together. Have a great life!
------------ --------- --------- --------- ---------

Dear Ex-Husband,

Nothing has made my day more enjoyable than receiving your letter. It's
true that you and I have been married for seven years, although a 'good
man' is a far cry from what you've been. I watch my soaps so much because
they drown out your constant whining and griping. It's just too bad it
doesn't work.

Yes, I did notice when you got a hair cut last week,,,and actually the
first thing that came to my mind was "You look just like a girl",,, but my
mother raised me not to say anything at all if you can't say anything
nice. And when you cooked my favorite meal, you must have gotten me
confused with my SISTER, because I stopped eating pork seven years ago.

I turned away from you when you had those new silk boxers on because the
price tag was still on them. I prayed that it was just a coincidence that
my sister had just borrowed fifty dollars from me that morning and your
silk boxers were $49.99...

After all of this, I still loved you and felt that we could work it out.
So when I discovered that I had hit the lotto for twenty million dollars,
I quit my job and bought us two tickets to Hawaii. But when I got home you
were gone. Everything happens for a reason I guess. I hope you have the
fulfilling life you've always wanted.

My lawyer said with the letter that you wrote, you won't get a dime from
me. So take care.

Signed:
Rich As Hell and Freeeeeeeeeeee!

P.S. I don't know if I ever told you this but my sister 'Carla',,,was born
Carl. I hope that's not a problem for you.






Carl?

LMAO.....

Colonel Kink (Hogan's Heroes) Your Christmas present is that I won't touch it.....this time.....

Manon and jffe, you have some nice ones in those sets!!!

Ah ha!!! After that one, you no longer have the right to be offended by anything Carl says, eh??? LOL.....

Well, I saw all of this coming along time ago.....hence, no textures from me.....only effect filters.....

I was about to finally submit one of them (My Woodie).....but the piracy has really taken an upswing lately.....so I thought that I would wait until the new EULA is in place.....

Remind me never to get on your sheeeot list..... LOL....

Yeah, they could....and it does....but I think that it's kind self-defeating to give away your hard work like that.....

I'd like to see the EULA put a stop to most of it on these sites so authors could focus on making money on them instead of giving them away just to stop others from making money on them......

The sooner the new EULA gets posted the better.....

I'm really sorry to hear that.....I'm an animal lover.....and I know that it's heartbreaking because they are no less part of your family and you love them as if they were your own child.....

Yeah, there is no accounting for some people's character, eh???

Count Cheekula You know that you are missed!!!

Does it count how many downloads - just curious wether people are using it - it is another way of course where you don't get any usage points toward it becoming HU like when as you say poeople save filters into My Filters - the credit bit is the right thing to do so good on her for that

No comment.....

....I don't like seeing them being given away like that.....even if they do "blow you a meaningless kiss" with some credit.....they are still taking advantage of you to bring potential customers in to sell themselves and other things.....

I'm hoping authors "get a clue" and start selling them themselves when the new EULA goes into place.....

......so that's why I have no comment..... LOL....

No.....when the new EULA goes into place.....no one gives away any copyrights for free distribution like this.....and start taking royalties for these quick "copy, package, & resell" jobs.....

I don't think that too many realize how they can take advantage of the proposed new EULA......and make some money off of their hard work.....

"OPERATION: NO STARVING AUTHORS" ......

LOL....

Answer = new EULA + new filters + new protective attitude = PROFIT!!!

I would suggest looking at FF as a marketing tool by which to promote and get exposure for your work.....and a means to put them out there in front of people who would be willing to purchase copyrights from you.....

It looks like at least half the Mandalas were ones he made with your filter, not just presets.

Steve & Miavir, are you both wanting to be paid whenever someone uses one of your filters and wants to be able to sell the outcome? I'm only upset about people selling my presets and not even using the filter. I always expected people to use the filter and be able to sell what they made from it. I have no problem with that.

Selling our presets is what I'm against, but if someone buys this program they should be able to sell any textures they make while actually using the filters provided they are not the presets.

FF's customers that are reading what's going on must be getting really confused.

Miavir, I have already damaged some of his sales by giving my presets away this past week. Renderosity has been extremely slow at getting my uploads into the freebie section, but I always give my share site page instead of the single download page and hundreds of people have already downloaded for free, from me, my presets that guy has been selling. His credibility as an honest merchant is in the crapper. People know now that all he did was take presets from here that they all could gave gotten free and sold them to the unsuspecting. I think if you would do the same with your presets it might be all that's needed to end his preset selling career.

Upload here http://www.sharecg.com/ so people can download from you and see all your presets, then post a link and preview at Renderosity, 3D Commune, and DAZ. Make sure you mention that you are the one who created the filter that made these presets.

I don't think I do. Are you saying that if someone uses my filter and creates a design that is different than mine that they shouldn't have the right to sell it? That wouldn't be right at all. There is a lady that asked my permission to sell the textures she made with my filter and had she not told me that it was from my filter I would never have known. The way I see it if someone uses my filter and makes something that does not look like my presets then that belongs to them.

If you ever hit randomize with my filters you would know that the results are horrible. With my filters you actually have to play with the settings.
