yes, but by offering it at a higher res you allow the customer to choose, because its easy to shrink a skin, but you cant make a 256 skin bigger. and really now adays 1024^2 skins arent the resource hog they used to be. (not that i recommend them for pop cans and blowing newspapers either)

I never thought of it that way..,
Okay, i take it back then

but it still looks blury

Im really not getting why more people arent downloading a completely free model. the registration only takes about 20 seconds right now (name, password, email, and country) and imho it is very high detail especially for being free, and in 3 days it goes back up to $5. A question for those who don't. What is holding it back and what would I need to change for you to check it out?

I cant vouch for anyone else, but my reason is that I hate needing to "register" with anything just to get free stuff.
If I was going to pay for something I wanted/needed, then its OK to need to sign up.
But for a freebie Im going to download on the off-chance I MAY need it in the un-forseen future, I dont want to go through the
rigmarole of either potentially exposing myself to a spamming list, or waste time making up fake contact details to avoid said spammers.
Even it it is "legitimate" advertising from the site, it gets damned irritating quickly.

So unless there is something there I can actually see a use for, I tend to avoid registering.

Please note, Im not saying that Lost Climate Studios is a spammer or anything, its just one of my odd "on principal" foibles.

Plus, signing in every time is no fun either, just to see if there are new free models...

Now, if you have a page where your models are free, but has a note that if we register, then we get a registration discount or something, and we can save money when we buy items, because we registered to your website....

Just an idea

well you dont really have to log in to see if there are more free models, you can see that its free before you register, but all that aside, i guess I'll just open up the download for everyone although now there is no way for me to track popularity, so i cant tell what items you guys want more.

Registration is no longer needed to download. link is at the bottom of the products page. Offer for free model only last until the first of June.

cool,

but like I said, you just need a shoutbox, or use php and use 'downloaded x times' marker...

well lots of modifying of the php for the background store system but now i can keep track of them finally.

One more thing, when going to download the tree it says "Download download here".

As a web developer I understand the problem completely. And how frustrating it is.
