I frequent several sites -- acording to my quick bookmarks on the side here, it's about 7. RDNA has a less combative, somewhat more helpful, generally more artistic outlook and feel in the forums. Odd Ditty Foundry's forum system is slowly being geared to some project coming up in July, and apparently there will be some sort of ongoing contests of a more involved nature than normal. FaerieWylde is a very kindly, somewhat quieter forum set that's pleasant to look at. PoserPros has a flavor similar to rosity that is slowly changing. Prinicpal draw here is the greater ease of access to the tutorials. DAZ3D is built up around DAZ, of course, and tends to be less useful but still interesting to read. XFX3D is somewhat, er, churlish, at times, but is still the best place right now to discuss things that generally can't be discussed somewhere else. Plan-it 3D has really helpful people and some very nice features. I generally don't go to 3DCommune much these days -- navigation there is still a bit much. Of them, the closest in overall value to Renderosity is Poser Pros, although RDNA is coming up very fast, and RDNA does have better specific resources and targeted features. Prinicpal reason for Rosity, though? IT's the granddaddy. And, Like many a granpapppy, it tends to be crotchety and stubborn and behind the times, but still has the experience of years behind it that much can be gleaned from. After the death of the original Arcana, Rosity and Pros pretty much became the only two places where you could learn about using Poser quickly and more or less with some semblance of fun. Adding RDNA in there and you have the basis for the real value of those sites outside of content. Also Renderosity is still the easiest place to start sellng stuff through, and has no real airs like the other sites have. My primary use now for renderostiy (since it no longer serves me much good beyond this) is for information -- what's out that's new, what problems are cropping up, and what new trick have folks found out about -- What's cool. The same applies for PoserPros and DAZ. Plus, some folks still have bad old habits and harbor old grudges and so don't go elsewhere -- this is the hub of it all, and so long as it remains so, much will ontinue as it has. The only other reason I come back is to work toward greater recognition of the other sites that are out there and a greater understanding of the marketplace and the forces that are involved in much of what is done with Poser.
