@gyspy
well.... yeah i do indeed yes,
i do like to see a few pennies for all my hard work i put into making these items.

and im not a thief, i hate it when people just steal other peoples work and sell it,
there are tons of people on SL who just convert and import models ripped from games to SL and then sell them.
i absolutely hate that and have more then once raged out at people who did that.

and i do not want to be someone like that, which is why i put so much work into making all those models from scratch using the tools second life has to offer for that,
instead of just converting a model and importing it into second life. so that its MY work, and not somebody elses work i am selling

i did make an honest mistake on not checking on possible licenses, and i dont wish to violate any licenses
and if i use something i didnt make myself i wanna have permission to keep using them and still be able to sell my hard work.

and in the case like ruohis who only agrees to have his textures used if no profit is made,
i will do the extra bit of effort to do custom texturing for the items so they are 100% my own work and i can continue to sell my items.

.

also, thank you for your words about just charging what i feel my stuff is worth instead of lowering prices cuz of some people here thinking its to much.
you are absolutely right in this. if someone thinks its to much, to bad, that is what i think i should get for all the hard work,
countless hours and headaches and nightmares i endured to make these items.
i personally think the prices i had for my items were more then fair for all the insane amount of work ive done to create these items.

once ive checked everything and are 100% certain the items are all 100% my work and no licenses are broken and attribution is given where needed or such,
ill revert my prices back to how they were, cuz my prices are what i feel all my hard work is worth

You stole the work, I know this for sure because you can see the meshes are exactly the same...Direct ports that likely took minutes not hours.

You're a underhanded thief and anyone who stand behind you is a fool.

@Spirits last point - I agree, and I noticed it too. You say you don't care about the money but then you say that you're glad to make it. I don't think you are being self-conflicting, I think you suck at defending yourself.

Of course you want the money, even if it is just 1 cent a month. That's what you should stick to. If I was in your shoes this would have been my "defense"

"Fuck yeah I want money. I am a capitalist, but I'm not a thief. I will do better research and see what is legal for me to use and change the rest. Thanks for bringing this to my attention."

See what I did there? I just told the truth and completely shut them up by claiming thanks for their input. You put the people on your case off-guard and just go about with whatever your responsibilities are. The end result is the same but no one continues to give you shit because they feel like they accomplished something. It's how you turn your situation from being the victim to being the manager.

Also: fuck some pennies, Talisa. Charge for your work. Now more than ever. If it really will be ALL your work...charge for it. When I self contract I charge 40$ an hour plus potential fees. People pay it. Those images I posted in "my recent media" thread were 160$ a piece. Nobody stuck a gun to my clients head and made them use me. ACTUALLY, a metaphorical gun was stuck to my head to do the work. Do I believe my images are worth 160$? Fuck no, but that's my price and I do not bargain. There is always a contract too.

this works:

client: "I'm thinking about getting 5 or 6 images, whats that going to cost."
me:"5 or 6 * 160"
client:"So there is no bulk rate."
me:"nope"
client:"I tell you what, I'll pay 100 a piece and get 6 images, fair?"
me:"I don't think I am interested in your project [[sticks hand out for a goodbye shake]]"

A version of the above has happened twice and I ended up with the job at my price both times.

I have lived by words that an old house painter told me, like they are the 11th commandment. "The price is the price". I understood everything he meant with those 5 words.

and im not a thief, i hate it when people just steal other peoples work and sell it,
there are tons of people on SL who just convert and import models ripped from games to SL and then sell them.
i absolutely hate that and have more then once raged out at people who did that.

[talisa]

just for lols and so everybody can see what the models i made are made of

le nailgun when all pieces the model i made of consists of are seperated and letting it fall apart

a picture can say more then a thousand words

[talisa]

havent updated anything else in a bit cuz i got side-tracked with creating some DJ-stuffs in SL,
but here's another update: le GrenadeLauncher

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZU9niQk25oo]SL- quake GL new anims + sounds - YouTube[/ame]

new custom textures and some nice free-to-use sounds to replace the original in-game sounds
so no copyrights and licenses are violated anymore and the weapon is 100% my own creation

[talisa]

lasercannon has also been updated with custom textures except for lights which i used QRP textures for which are free to use commercially



and the sounds have been updated too of course

[talisa]

da-dada-dun


le SNG which was based on ruohis model has been updated with custom sounds, textures and new better-looking animations as well
[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2hfhMTU10SQ]SL- quake SNG new anims + sounds - YouTube[/ame]

[talisa]

and shazaam, le keys have been fixed too


[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_Fd9ndpQrU]SL - quake keys new textures + sounds - YouTube[/ame]

[talisa]

just changed the pack with power-ups, and split it into two packs

one pack which contains pent, ring and quad-damage which i made myself which i still am selling
https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p...er-ups/3419330

and one pack which contains the biosuit by rouhis and quad-damage by OoPpEe which i made free
https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p...s-FREE/5430698

.

when my skill in modelling with blender is good enough to make complex items like bio-suit
i will make my own version of biosuit and add that one to the pack i am selling

[talisa]

earlier today i updated the healthboxes all with custom modified QRP textures


the animated lights i had to make myself since SL doesnt support luma-maps
and thus i had to make a custom overlay semi-transparent texture for the effect myself,
so this part i didnt re-do cuz i made the texture and scripting for it myself anyway

[Spirit]

Just so you know, re-painting something yourself does make it a derivative work, not "entirely your own creation". That's also why some consider the QRP textures not legal.

[talisa]

@spirit
well those were the complaints:
-using textures not made by me
-using copyrighted sounds

those points i am fixing for all my items, so that my items merely 'look like'
and dont include which wasnt made by me or is under some copyright/license which prevents me from using it

.

also on another note, i updated the shells pick-ups both with custom texturing


since i included all ammo-boxes in a single pack ill update the pack once i fixed all of them instead of updating the pack each time i fix one set of boxes

[Spirit]

try browsing through this thread and read everything i said there
you obviously didnt read that.

[talisa]

since nails and shells pick-ups are identical except for one has shells on top and other nails, i could easily fix nails in just a minute time by removing the shells from the fixed shells-boxes and replace them with the nails from the nail-boxes and add the NIN-plate to them

NIN-texture and nails+textures i made myself anyway so there was no need to re-do those since those parts were completely made myself anyway



.

2 sets of ammo-boxes done, 2 more to go.
and then the ammo-boxes will be fixed too so they dun use any textures not made by me anymore

[talisa]

woosh.... BOOM!

rockets have also been updated with new textures


3 down, 1 more set of ammo-boxes to go

.

@spirit
yes its 'derative', my models are based on ruohis and plagues models.
i am talking about 'completely my own creations' as in nothing used made by others, no textures or sounds i didnt make or dont have rights to use.
