Rokket's quote
This is why I only make freebies. Well, that and I don't think my stuff is good enough to sell...

If Rottet's good enough to model this

I think part of it is
if you sell low end meshes then your make low end money.
If you sell High End Meshes then your Make High End Money.

I can see your point. I did pretty much create this thing without a single reference picture. I could probably do a decent job of creating a few real/realistic choppers. But I would still not sell them. I got into this hobby to fill up my free time and keep me from drinking myself to death. I never once thought of it as a money making venture, even when I found out that it could be done. I had assumed that the content created for Poser was done by people employed by SM for that purpose. I know better now, but it doesn't change my view.

I know I can create a decent quality product if I decided to. I have almost mastered my software to the point that I can do pretty much anything I set my mind to do within the constraints of the programming. But I would lose the satisfaction that creation and completion brings me. If I was selling these things, they would never get released because I am never satisfied with them. Every time I look I can see a mistake here, or something that could have been done differently there. So I release freebies when I feel I have something I am proud of and want to share.

And just for the record, this whole bike took me about a week to produce once I got past the frame. The frame took the longest because I wasn't sure what I wanted out of it when I started.

If I had a nickle for ever time a woman told me to get lost, I could buy Manhattan.
