My Personal Policy
Further to a comment that I received about my Vincent Van Gogh set that I have recently published, I wish to state My personal Policy
- My work is not to be re-uploaded to any other site. I spend time making the dds and simpack files to enable custom content to be added to the game. Although images by Vincent Van Gogh are in the public domain, my package including the preview pictures are not, they are mine. if anyone wants to take a V.V.Gogh image from my page, then they are welcome to it, it does not belong to me so I have no rights to complain if someone uses it. However, the dds files and the simpack files were made by me and I do have a right as to what happens to them. If someone wants to make a set of V.V.Gogh pictures to post either here or elsewhere, then make your own, dont steal mine and claim them as your own.
Some people seem to think that all Artists do is copy a picture to a dds file and take the praise of having created them. The artistry of making custom content falls into two catorgories, one being, people who actually make meshes and create 3 dimensional objects for the game. The other catorgory is the people who take pictures, bother to learn the process of making in game pictures, and make them available to be used as paintings etc in the game. The skill in the latter catorgory is knowing what people are going to download, to know what is desired and also to make a good job of the paintings and present them in an attractive eye catching way. The Best of these people are usually chosen to be Featured and Select artists.
I Dont want you to think that I am on a high horse, but I will not tolerate people dictating their policies and beliefs to me. I abide by the rules of TSR and as long as I do, then the only people I will answer to are TSR themselves.
