I have a bunch of favourite ensembles I have adapted to work in the NKS environment - mainly because I like the hands-on control and to have everything in one place. My ethic is very much one that if I make something for myself I find useful then it seems only natural to want to share it (for free) so I would like to post some of these in the UL. As much as possible I believe in doing this with the permission of the original creator, as I respect their original work and would always acknowledge that. Either that means sending them the adapted ens for them to post, if that is their preference, or me posting it with their permission and crediting them of course.
That would be the ideal but I am aware that in the UL there is a degree of acceptance of people doing reskins, mods and mashups of other ensembles in the UL and as this is along the same lines wondered about the ethics of posting NKS adaptations for ensembles where I have not been able to get a response from the creator. So far I have done this to a limited degree with some really old classic ens, but I also have NKS versions of more recent ones like Philthy, the Boscomac ensembles, a couple by OreKore and Beast 2. What are people's thoughts?
