He's right there, they can't make it illegal to sell your own creations, it's when you start to use other people's stuff that it gets messy, like say for instance I used parts from modders that put them up for free, and sold the model, legally, they're entitled to a share of the profits, predetermined before I sell it.
But back to original topic, I totally agree, this whole repeat of the same five models is starting to drive me crazy. The worst part I find though, is when someone releases a new model, they fill it with as many lights as humanly possible. I'd love to start modelling some stuff, but I simply don't have the understand yet. Mind you, I have started one modification, but I'd say by the time I get to the part where lights need to be added, despite the many tutorials I have, I'm going to need oodles of help :P
That being said, once I get it figured out, it shouldn't be too hard to get back into modelling again. And no, I don't charge ;)
