This forum was created for our Renderosity Freestuff providers and potential providers to advertise their items. Altho we don't actually host the files here, we have set this up to bring recognition to our own freestuff providers here at Renderosity.
You can still tell people where a cool freebie item is that might be over at Daz etc..just cant advertise it here in this forum.

Quote - Pardon my ignorance, but how do you get a link to your free stuff? I have a lot of stuff here, but I can't even search for it. I type in BeyondVR, and it says no results. How do you get a link to all your stuff?
Thanks!
John
Another way is to simply go to your homepage - there will be a link on there near the top, just under your bio, and it will take you to all of your free offerings here on Rosity.
Thanks, Guys! I forgot about the homepage. Is it safe to put things there again? I had an image and stuff, but it got wiped out when they redid that part.
As long as you're in a helpful mood, there was something I just saw in another post here. It had a link to the freebies page, then two links to renders. Since there's only one box for a link, how do you do that?
The other thing is a signature, but I think it's some kind of cult secret. I went to set up a signature last year, but couldn't see how to do it. I just want a banner and a blurb. I don't want to publish the whole Sunday supplement, like some vendors, just a banner. As I remember, it was like this box, so you could add an image, and a link, but no way to "marry" them. It's less a priority now, because I can't find the place anymore. It must be a link on the right side, but I can't find it :(
fog bound,
John
Up at the top of this page . See Forum options...Click on that and you can adjust your signature.
also there is a link name (Name of picture) and URl link at the bottom of the box. Works the same way it does here or in the gallery

No, This forum was set up so our members could announce their freebies offered here, get feedback, make requests, etc.
The freestuff area is pretty active, so its easy to miss some really nice items being offered...this way we have a central place to see what has been posted recently instead of having to scroll thru the freestuff area...
Also potential providers can come here and get feedback on what items members would like to have..see whats in demand etc...

But... but... you don't even test the marketplace stuff! Dude, not trying to pick a fight here or anything, but ...WTF? Someone want to kick the PTB and ask them how they came to that decision? /P
um ..nobody said marketplace stuff. 2). Some of us do help out in the testing department for free stuff.
Here are examples of what are excepted:
Product that has already been approved in here you can say hey check out my cool freestuff
in your comments, you can say I have quote this new product available check it out. Describe what the new product is (even post a thumbnail) of the new product. Or like ones already posted you may offer suggestion on what you would like to have or see. How often have you been in Poser or a program of your choice and can't seem to find that prop your looking for, make that type of suggestion here.
Like Jumpstartme2 suggested we dont want just links to free products listed elsewhere.
we want members that want to give back to the community have a voice in here and suggest what they have to offered as free items.
You can post freestuff from other sites in several other forums or drop hints of some nice items
but this forum is for products exclusively from members of renderosity too members of renderosity or like stated prior give suggestion on what you would like to see made available.
Like posted in another thread in this forum. I'm offering the original artist a chance for me to transfer there product to make it available to Vue members as well. Kind of like partnering up with them and make the same product avialable to a wide range of members. If approved
then I will post here with a thumbnail and quote it as now avqailable for Vue giving the other artist credit for the original design of the product. I dont nessassarly have to link the item to my
freebie because I know if you look in free stuff under vue you will find my products.
Hope this makes some kind of sense. Basically this forum gives bragging rights to members here who contribute back to our members.

Just to chime in here really quick
Yup, Renderosity marketplace items are tested. ( I used to be a MP tester)
As far as the Freestuff items go, being the Bryce Mod, I am usually the one who will grab the Bryce freestuff items and "test" them, which (for me) normally just pertains to;
-Seeing if the download actually works.
-Seeing if the content actually opens up in Bryce.
-And, I'll give the zip and its contents a quick ant-virus scan.
That might take 1-2 minutes. VERY simple compared to what the MP testers have to go through, but the Freestuff "test" is damage control. If we didn't quickly check out the item, we could have a bunch of members trying to get an item whos download didn't work, or was full of viruses, etc.
2 cents.

Quote - We also check for trademarked/copyrighted items.
Since when? I can't remember who said it, but I definitely recall someone saying that the only concern about copyright with freebies is the name given to the item during upload. So long as the name doesn't violate copyright/trademark apparently the file content doesn't matter.
For example let's take "Darth Vader"...if an uploaded item is called "Darth_Vader" and has an image of Darth_Vader in the thumbnail, that would be some kind of violation. However, if they uploaded the file and called it "Black_Invader" or something, that would be fine, even though the contents of the file are morphs to recreate Darth Vader, and the files inside carry names like "Star Wars_Vader" or something.

you could have fooled the rest of us. seriously. these 'tests for copyright / trademarks' have been a joke.
when some that have gone through, items that could ahve been found in seconds with a google search, we've been told you (the team), don't have time to look. I can find examples if you so wish.
Ooookay.... let's explain this a bit: I recall that as late as 2005, the PTB said expressly that MP items were only tested for the ability to unzip into the right files, and nothing more. (There was a wee thread I had posted called "Name 'Em and Shame 'Em" in early 2005 concerning some lousy quality items that I had found. That thread was 'disappeared' from Renderosity --e.g., it was stuffed into a locked forum and left to die-- but a similar one can be found at PoserPros to this day, and the relevant quotes were carried over there, as well as elsewhere). So - since when did the MP start testing for more than just unzip functionality, and what exactly is being tested for? PS: Acadia is right... see also all relevant arguments a long while back concerning JHoagland, Dodger, and their Star Wars freebie Stuff a long time back. (Please remember that some of us cannot be so easily fooled or lied to, campers... I just want the truth is all. No shame in telling it... I'm genuinely curious here). /P (thinking that this thread will be locked, erased, or moved in 5... 4... 3... 2...)
This forum is not going to turn into another place for bashing.
Marketplace items are TESTED (this IS NOT the marketplace forum so if you have questions regarding marketplace items, please post in the appropriate forum...See the top of the page this forum is called Renderosity FREESTUFF forum, not marketplace)
Freestuff items are tested in the way that Jani and AS responded with.
If you don't agree with the freestuff so kindly provider by our members or this forum then fine, your choice but we will not allow this forum to be plagued with continual disruptive posts. That is NOT productive nor is it necessary.
erm Stacey? I wasn't bashing. I was pointing out that your collegue is wrong and telling ppl that wrong information. atm ppl are wondering what is going on.
on the one hand a User has been told that he cannot post ANY freebies in the poser forum and they must go through the freestuff area. this was clarifed by Jumpstarme2 in the thread there.
yet in here, when asked Jumpstartme2 is telling ppl thats it's ok to post freebie links in other forums.
so. what is it?
no, this is not 'bashing' or 'being disruptive' this is wondering what the hell is going on.
*This forum is not going to turn into another place for bashing.
Marketplace items are TESTED (this IS NOT the marketplace forum so if you have questions regarding marketplace items, please post in the appropriate forum...See the top of the page this forum is called Renderosity FREESTUFF forum, not marketplace)

So sit down or you'll ALL get detention!
Quote - erm Stacey? I wasn't bashing. .
I think she was referring to me... though in all honesty I wasn't "bashing" either. Just stating what I know to be facts - and as late as 2005, we were all told in no uncertain terms that there was no such thing as testing in the MP - at least beyond basic unpackaging. If that's changed, cool.
Sorry - tact isn't something I even hope to want to be good at. OTOH, it makes people uncomfortable at times, no?
As for MP item testing? I'll pop over the to MP forum and ask when they actually began doing that, I suspect. :/
Still, the freebie policy of late is monumentally not-intuitive, to be charitable about it.
