Free space will be the problem to solve. Now Mogoworld people use personal servers and even the company donates space to host the challenge worlds. I don't know if personal servers are the way to go. Free stuff can quickly overwelm a off the beaten path server. But nothing says the files have to be huge. There could be limits placed on the files say if it was a mech challenge that the mesh cannot be over so big in size. We should almost ask if we can con a bit more space from Renderosity for such a project. It benefits everyone. Like this is a huge deal really if you think about it. One of the reasons why people continue to buy Bryce is the vast amount of free stuff available for it. We should try to close that gap maybe not in quantity but quality. This would be a great way to generate more stuff and it could mushroom into a really big deal real fast. One of the reasons I came here in the first place was the free stuff. There is one more thing there is no reason why the stuff has to remain on the server forever. Like my latest meshes got tons of hits but now it's dropping off. There will be soon not much reason keeping them there taking up 90% of my space so I may remove them and replace them with different free stuff. If it known there only there only there for a limited time people will grab them right away. Nothing stopping people from trading them after there removed from the server if somebody missed the download.Like keep it there only for a few months say 2 and ya snooze ya loose, find somebody who will send it to you. It's a solution to a really big roblem but it would be nice also to have tons of them listed forever too. Then new members benefit also. The problem here is we need something like the game planets have. Unlimited space unlimited bandwith for related material. Sombody should really seriously look at the game planet model and convert it to graphics. maybe we could stick them on what's that place called? Turbo squid. I think you can if it's free. I think you just have to talk em into suporting vue files. I don't think there is any there yet. I did it here, I was the first to put Vue files in the store cause there so huge. I had to convince them that vue file support was worth it. Now look at all the files available for Vue in the store.
