All men are shaved and smooth? Body hair is very sexy. Chest, armpits, pubes (hell, legs and back if you're into that)

I would like to have the possibility to modify a basic object like on the video object_modify.mp4

Don't share it to someone then. I don't understand why everyone does not understand this, it is simple, don't share your room if you don't want it edited. Gizmo has a good setup and trying to reinvent it to suit their needs is silly as MeiLing has stated previously. He has fixed the in-game stealing, but if you share your room publicly, he has no control of it afterwards. Why does all this land on Gizmo's lap when it is nothing he can do to fix it? If you want everyone to see your work, Torax has a section on his site for non-shared rooms, add it to that list instead, so all the world can see it but not touch it. If you don't want your room edited don't share it in public, simple math. If that had happened to me, but it hasn't yet, I would not be mad I would be proud that someone thought my room was so good they wanted to use it, and as far as editing it, it would be cool to see what they do to it, it may be better than my version or seen the feel of the room better than I did. Sounds like a bunch of vanity to me. Remember, imitation is the greatest form of flattery!

Performance will improve quite a bit when the new engine update gets released, from my testing I get almost double the frames in more demanding rooms on the beta client compared to the stable one.

Going to try protovpn shortly

To be honest, lot of downloads look great but are crap built. I remember a room reducing 30% of kB by removing duplicates, others are just lazy copy and paste things that could be slim built. My favourite rooms are mostly downloads i optimized or arranged for me. But 10 or 20 hours i have to spend. Think just about you want to do or changes poses. i often miss wall poses where it would be fun to have. I always say, i did not build it myself, just make it my home by editing it. And technically, how should it work to host a protected room, tell the server the password when sharing?

3DX needs Builders, they are content creators which is an asset for the Devs. Like Gizmo said, Players who are not professional builders like to Download other Players Creations that they share freely by enlarge and give these Players the creative freedom to modify the downloaded room. I dont know how many "professional builders" are actually "professional", they may seem it but you only become proficient at anything through hours and hours of doing it. "Proffesional Builders" aside, 3DX has a large reliance on this "Freeware" created by Players for other Players to be able to use and modify. This is a selling point of 3DX, it has been from 1.0, to be able to moves furniture around in your Default room, add items etc. Now with the Builder, this feature has only become more prominent as a way to provide all Players with New content on a regular basis and satisfy the Games Player Base with readily available Free content that can be personalized by basically anyone with only a little skill. The Devs will not dam this free flowing river as it basically has ended their role in providing rooms/locations and now is primarily on the Player Base to create this content. Gizmos question is, why are Builders so afraid to share their rooms. I dont think "afraid" is the word, hundreds of roomsobjects are freely shared already. Those people who dont share their creations, firstly have every right not to and secondly might only share to a friend or two. they might also have different reasons for building rooms/objects. Creative people just create, its the way they are. Some want passwords to protect their rooms from being edited. A reasonable request, but I think Gizmo is exaggerating his projected future of a password protection option leading to the majority of rooms being uneditable. Maybe a fear, for obvious reasons as stated earlier but the current climate is that most Builders want to share and do share free of charge. It seems like most Builders prime reason for Building is to share, to show their work so I dont think this would change much at all. Seriousley, I doubt a password Protection System will be added, I also doubt a read only file scenario will be added also because the Devs need the Free content and forfill part of the Games features, that of being able, at any level of proficiency, to modify a Room in the Builder and make this available to everyone. This is fair and really cant be argued against. If this is stated over and over for being the reason against Password Protection on Created Rooms then there is really nothing that can be argued against. Builders who are actually in favour of some level of Room Protection from Editing I would say are a small Group. I would also say that these "Builders" spend most of their Game time in the Builder building. You would have to enjoy it to spend that amount of time creating. Time is the currency here. The more detailed a room the more Time went into it, once spent time is gone forever. Compare that to a Downloader, who has all that time of the Creator entwined into the room they just Downloaded, and in an hour or two they can modify it, share it, pass it off as their own, take credit for, the list goes on. Personally im for tha abilty to create a read only file and have the "choice" how I would release my content. The "Fear" as Gizmo put it, well the Fear is not having the Choice. I think we should all have the Choice. Finally on this looong ass post, Gizmo is the Dev and he will make decisions based on satisfying the most Players to keep the base at a particualr size and keep the profits coming in. Its a business, most of us get that, but he has the decisions to make and every one has an affect on Players and mood of the Game. In the End if you really dont want your rooms messed with then DO NOT share them, its simple.....with that said I wonder how many "Professional Builders" as Gizmo put it, would inject their Rooms into the Game that do not. Would the game be better having these Builders share even though Players might have to deal with them being uneditable. Would Players be angry they cant Edit such rooms..I dont know, just a thought. Anyhoots have soopa funs
