Just what SL needs - another ignorant, anonymous, loud jerk who can’t spell, has never heard of punctuation, and expects the world to be handed to them on a silver platter.

What does your inability to create a decent texture have to do with the fact that content thieves are profiting from other people’s work?

Don’t like no modify textures? Don’t buy ‘em.

Don’t agree with the licensing agreement on a set of full permissions textures? Don’t buy ‘em.

No design skills? Try harder. Take a class. Find a freebie door. Buy a door from someone who knows what they’re doing.

Oh wait. I forgot. The world owes you a free ride. Don’t think. Don’t try. Don’t create. Just sit back and leech.

Dear Null,
I’m feeling fine today, and to be honest actually I don’t remember the last time I cried. Although I can be quite sensible sometimes, like when watching a good movie or reading a book.
I feel very sorry for you, that you lost like 1k trying to upload a texture hope you can get over it. A nice tip might be.. Using the betagrid for testing, it cost no L$ at all to upload textures there. But when I was a newbee, and could not enter the betagrid. I created a nice overview gridtexture, and used that on my model so I could see the texture layout, took some screensnapshots from SL and then made my texture. In my shop in claremoris (in my SL profile) I offer several free mesh-textures for analyzing, created by me and Theblack Box, and you can pass them around to all your friends as well.
On your texture collection you want to gather, I wish you good luck downloading the internet. A nice place to start might be http://www.corbis.com they got like a database of 100 million images! But you must know, I guess they have a ton of lawyers since its founded by Bill Gates. So maybe you can try to ripoff a poor artist that have no money to pay any lawyer like me. I must warn you though, ‘Dont do the crime, if you cant do the time’ When I was a street-kid life sometimes seem to be like a warzone to me, but when I hit the age of 17 years I realized stealing was not worth the crap and effort.

And I feel sorry for all of you, because you’re wasting your time worrying about a game. And not an especially interesting one, at that. You people are getting all butthurt because of shit that is happening in an animated MySpace, and that’s just hilarious.

I’ll bet you’re the same kind of people who call the Patriotic Nigras terrorists. Well, it’s nice to see some more pools closing.

You’ve missed the point, Carp. For many people SL is not a game - it’s a business. People spend a lot of time and effort to create and sell things to make real money, or to create tools that allow other people to do the same. They’re not spending this effort to build a huge list of MySpace friends or level up their WoW characters, they’re using their skills to create real businesses.

Then some asshat comes along, steals their creations and sells them as their own. This devalues the original creations, infringes in the creators rights, and damages their business.

It’s like if you went to a RL job every day while your neighbor sits at home and watches Jerry Springer. Then on payday your neighbor steals part of your paycheck. Sounds pretty unfair to me.

I have sympathy to all who are seeing their hard work used without permission.
That said - can I PULEEEZ get a copy of freakin SculptyPaint so that I can get to it! geez

I put up the site pretty soon. And please dont feel sorry for me, I just run my own independend business in the (game)-industry, not ‘only’ SL.

I dont see the PN as terrorist though, never encountered one. I guess the whole story got a high ‘lulz’ factor if you look at it from certain angle. And never seen one of them blow themself up for there cause.
If one blows himself up, it’s probebly stupid pn-wannabee that likes to impress, and where his croftybom experiment goes terrible wrong.

Anyway, put the site backup. And updated it with latest version #92 and a new texture generator I recently started.

The whole thing made me rather crazy, mad and sad; felt backstabbed. Anyway want to focus on the positive next, continue to create, have fun, and explore further. Recently I managed to render and change normalmapping realtime, and other shaders, a technique that’s getting used more and more in recent games. Can’t wait to experiment and writing tools for that as well.
