Well this is a good and healthy debate.
😂 Now I don't want to be arguing with anyone on this forum. It's supposed to be a place to share and develop. I have had lots of help from other people on here and for that I am grateful. This whole debate was sparked because when one member asked ME how to remove the background from my scene and another member provided this help but added that the logo "has to be removed as well". The logo appears for a few seconds in the scene, it doesn't "have" to be removed at all. From my position it is like this.... I have used elements of other peoples work: shaders, images and know how... but then I have spent time and effort to create something new and hopefully something artistic and appreciated and I have signed that creation with a logo. In the non digital world, it would be similar to a collage artist putting a signature on a collage made of newspaper clippings, they don't own the copyright to the newspaper but they have added their creativity and so they have signed it and would no doubt be offended if someone came and removed their signature.
@Z22 In relation to the use of the feathers shader in the first place. The shadertoy cc license states:

Adapt — remix, transform, and build upon the material

In this post you seem to be alluding that I have not given an attribution

I gave an attribution in 3 places.... the original forum link here:
https://www.istripper.com/forum/thread/29408/76?post=753533
and then on lines 1-3 of the shader
and then all of the original attributions on lines 29-42 where I have copied and pasted the entire source shader into the format provided by
@Everthang on numerous other conversions. I think that that was sufficient attribution.
There's an AUTO_MOUSE section on lines 16-25.... these are I think attributable to
@TheEmu so apologies to him for not placing an attribution but if I did..... should it go above or below the other attributions ??
As far as I am concerned, that is the end of this matter though no doubt I will get a few more
🔥🔥after I post this. I think people should be careful what they push for. It would be a sad day if Totem decided to remove the ability of the users to create full screen scenes as a result of division on this forum.
