I don't care for this new photo method either.  I have seen the trick used elsewhere on other sites and it is annoying. Sorry that Renderosity has chosen to follow this.

But it is still nowhere as bad as what happened at Content Paradise. That site is just not fun to spend any time on.

One of my objections is practical.  When I buy3D models in the renderosity store, and elsewhere, I have been right clicking on the images and downloading the promos and info so that I have a catalog always going forward of what I have purchased.  I title them with my own keywords. I really can't do that with this new method.

I'm not sure how other people solve the problem of having 3D models on the disk with no other identifying information other than the zip file.

If Renderosity wanted to help, they could give me and easy way to get a summary sheet & Photos with all the vendor comments (For A3? V3? V4?  What promos did you use for the hair? Shoes? Clothes? etc. Anything else that goes along with it?).   That would make be feel much better.
