Okay, just a quick question...

Did not know where to put this, btw.

Do I need to ask a designer before featuring their animals in my Show & Tell?

Thanks, jzm

Nope! They were created for you to use; go ahead and use them!

You just need permission to translate them, use them as a template, hosting at another site, etc.

Mikamod is right. S&T is the one place you can freely use any creator's downloaded animals. It's always nice to give credit, though, when you can. :original:

I always try to remember to credit designers if a pic in my S&T features a user download. That's why I so often use the word 'Penguika'  in the narrative of my show and tell!! :laughing:

How about for an Avatar, If I make one out of A UCI , can I put A note on the bottom of my Avatar.

Yep, I'm sure you can. If you want to not include the note, then just ask the designer and I bet many would let you :original:
