To all people working on Resource Packs.

There have been a bunch of packs released on the void, and that is great, but something has been bugging me. Within the packs, when someone adds stock images, I highly doubt that they are ALL made by the person posting, and this is were we have to be careful.

If you make something yourself, be it take a picture, make a brush preset, something with C4D, go right ahead and add it into the resource pack, you have full rights to it, so you have nothing to worry about.

If you cut out an image, make sure that you have the rights to do that, and include a "credits" file within the pack listing sources of the pieces so that credit is given were credit is due. This will also reduce the times people are called thief's or rippers on Deviant Art, for example, because all the credit is there.

If you find a stock image that you like, but did not take yourself, do not include the picture in the pack, instead add links to 3rd party stocks you found that you want to show to the members. If you didn't do it, don't include it.


I just want to make it safe for people to use all that is found within a resource pack, without worrying about were it came from, and to keep the reputation of the void in high standing when these are posted around other forums.

This is a very good point Nathan, I'm 100% backing this, Unless People have the full rights to the resource it shouldnt be added.

I agree! There are stocks sites that you can use their works. They may ask you to credit them or just let it be there for the taking. DO THE RESEARCH! There is a way to search for royalty free images under CC. Best thing to do though is to make everything yourself. Thank you Nathan!
