Message #34: "Pakled, I think you're doing it the hard way. Just use an image you can find in a google search or any number of free tilable textures available on the web. " I think the reminder is that an image you find in a Google (or Yahoo or whatever search engine) is not necessarily available to be used as a texture. Some are copyrighted. Some are not. Most of us know that. Some do not. Many ignore the rights of others when it comes to copyright. It is one of those areas of high sensitivity. Expecially to those who have had their work stolen. Fortunately I've never been good enough to steal from but others, alas, are and have seen someone else take credit for their work, or have their work incorporated into someone else's packet and sold. In the long run, it is better to ask permission than to take without considering the consequences. Of course, no one here would do the latter.
