What does a comet have anything to do with this issue?

It is only fair to reward oneself for hard work and lengthy effort in the creation of a product with a little compensation. This is not a selfish act nor is it by any means an unfair act as the prices that NWDA have been charging have been quite fair to say the least. You know these guys could be greedy jerks and price themselves out of business entirely but i am sure most reasonable folks will come to the conclusion that the prices are within reason even for the low-income. I could be on Welfare and still buy these packs.

I think he meant comment.

Good luck with your own planet creation TheBlackHole as you will not be getting this for free... and you won't be getting much help round here if you keep up the bad attitude.

As far as I can make out, you would be paying for the time and effort gone into making this. By the way... have you ever bought any software? You know, the bits and bytes that make your computer work.

I have bought software. But it came with a CD and some packaging. I didn't just pay to download it, I actually bought a box with a CD inside and the data was on the CD. And I don't give a crap what a comet has to do with this issue. As I said before, I don't give a crap what the price is if it's over 0. If it's not free, I'm not going to pay for it over the Internet. And how the crap am I supposed to pay in euros if I don't have any euros? I'm in Iowa!

Ok, we get it, you are not going to buy nvseal's stuff, thanks for sharing. I am sure there are plenty of people who are perfectly willing to fork over some money for it (myself included). Also I am forced to wonder if you have ever heard of an exchange rate; it is how countries with different currencies do business. A certain number of dollars are converted into the appropriate number or euros without you having to do a thing.

That said, I would be absolutely thrilled to get back to this thread's purpose of anticipating any news or new test images of nvseal's work.

TheBlackHole · October 16, 2009, 10:00:13 PM

Well, what is the ^$@*ing exchange rate?!

You are righ but i want to say one last thing about this Free debate.

TheBlackHole, in case you don't know everyone loves free things. Me too. İ have not bought anything from Planetside or Nwda. But you are writing in such a way that sounds that you don't give a merit to the work that have been done. This is not nice.
İ made 2 pictures with TG2. and belive me this kind of things (Procedural Planets or Seths rocks and such) are not easy to make.
İ won't comment about this anymore.

Thanks.

Kadri.

I do know how much effort has been put into this, but I put up a map on my site that I put a lot of effort into, and you don't see me charging for it! And if I used it in anything, I'd give credit (at least for the first few times

) and I might learn from it and use that knowledge to (almost infinitely slowly) learn how it works and I might even try my own. And I still don't know what the exchange rate is. For all I know, several euros might be several HUNDRED dollars!

Gannaingh · October 16, 2009, 10:11:11 PM

Oh Wow! Those latest pictures are simply amazing! Great work nvseal, I am really looking forward to when you get the chance to release this!

This would be another long discussion topic.But not here

I just figure 1 Euro is 2 Dollars. It's not quite that much, but it gives a ball park figure. I am also quite tight with money, but if there is something worthwhile I do not mind saving for it, then buying it. It took me almost four months to buy the license for Terragen 2. I am glad I did so. There are several packs on the NWDA site I want, I will pay the commercial amount for them. That way I can use them if I get some commercial work. It could happen someday.

TheBlackHole · October 16, 2009, 10:30:17 PM

With that exchange rate, I'll never be able to afford stuff from NWDA. The Martian-looking rockes, Seth said, were 150 euros. $300!?!?!?!?!?

TheBlackHole - Seth was kidding. Go to the NWDA site at www.nwdanet.com to see the real prices, which are very reasonable.

nvseal - yes, I too am eagerly awaiting this pack!

Henry Blewer · October 17, 2009, 08:35:45 AM

I took a peek at the new images, and they are impressive. Your pack is on the list of packs available at NWDA I want to purchase. Now comes the obnoxious Flickr banner...
