Hi everybody,

This is just a request as it is not a requirement. If you could credit the vendors from our Marketplace in your images it would be greatly appreciated. The vendors like to see their products being used and we are considering creating contests to encourage crediting images. Stay tuned for this future possibility. Keep in mind that as I said the vendors see the images that are credited and I personally like to see them comment and many do. It's another view for your hard work ... and a kudo for theirs.

Hi Boni, I always try to credit the vendors here on my images but given the rules about links is it ok to mention the products used from other sites. I don't mean links but just a mention. I credit the vendors on this site when I post elsewhere so it only seems right to do so here. Thanks, Mike.

Frankly, I do the same thing ... just as a list. I did that before there was a way to credit vendors here. I listed from where the item came from.

I try to identify every piece I use, whether a purchased product or a freebie as I know I couldn't compose what I do without the offerings by content creators. As such, it tends to look like a set of movie credits. (I'm occasionally tempted to slip in something like "catering by..." just to see if someone might catch it.

Sincerely,

Bill

You guys are the best!!

Thanks Boni, just wanted to be sure :-) To be honest Bill there are so few objects in my images that crediting is fairly easy.

Yup, I do that.

• This is also good for when someone views a gallery image and wonders what products were used to make it. It isn't fun sending a pm that may never get answered.

• It would also be nice if vendors themselves would do this. Even if I'm interested in your product, I'm likely to get annoyed and not buy a product if there's an interesting-looking item in the promo that isn't part of the product and isn't credited.

I don't know if vendors are allowed to list products from competing stores that might be used in their promo images so it's only for Rosity products that they can link to. I've found most vendors very gracious though when I've asked them for more information about something they've used. I usually try to credit items but sometimes I don't remember the exact store name for the product and if I can't find it in the vendor's list of products I usually give up. :)

Whenever I upload an Image I always credit the content creators who made my image possible. My way of saying thanks. My work wouldn't be possible without theirs, so I feel it's only right to give credit where it's due.

To be honest. The vendors have no right to be annoyed. We've already paid of the products we used. It is our right to use what ever products we choose in our renders, whether from this site or a competing site. If I cannot credit products from vendors from competing sites, then I should not credit products from this site. We as paying customers should not have a 'double standard'. This is called 'creative freedom' The Renderosity rules is setting a double standard, therefore I will not entertain this request.

This has always been a touchy subject.

There is a flip side to this as well.

Nothing in this image is available in the market place here.

Is it ok to mention that?

It is normal not to link offsite, but nothing is stopping you from mentioning it in the description...

Give Boni a break, all she did was ask......

I always credit all vendors or creators in my gallery posts. If they are rendo vendors, I use the widget; if not, I mention them in the description. This is just fair practice to acknowledge the creative input other than my own. Full credit and referencing is a part of my education in research in my earlier life. I am sorry if this upsets some people.

When I had a gallery here I always gave credit to the vendor, well except the time that a site upgrade meant I could not credit anyone if I used a certain browser. I would also mention if I had made major changes to the item, for my own use only of course, as I did not want someone buying it thinking a particular texture or feature was included when it was not.

mmmm interesting idea. I can understand why you feel this is a good idea. its advertising for this sites store "look at this. you can buy it here" so long as its this site. but the bottom line is, I have given credits to the vendors in the form of payment for their products. If I was to credit every vendor I used, the list would be long in some images and very long in others. plus, some of the stuff I have is years old and I can no longer remember where it came from let alone who made it also some products need so much work to/on them make them usable I don't think they should get credit.

Guys, it's not the vendors asking for this. It's just a feature of the gallery that benefits other members who might want to know where they can find what was used and it benefits this community as a whole. I bought the kinky bodysuit after seeing it in a render and the link to the item was there in the credits. As for other items, you can credit in this way:

xxx from RDNA

xx from Hivewire

etc. Just don't add the live link or the .com after.

And its not a requirement, just a suggestion that would be nice to see more often.

I think anyone should do the way he feels , Personally I would not do it as I removed every render since 2002 in here just because I gave credit for my own creations signing the Renders and had to remove them cause of TOS violations. so why should another site allow adds of Rendo if here it is not allowed in first place. I even removed on all my sites the adds for Renderosity because of that issue. to make advertisements here you need to pay allot of money , compared to older times when it was possible to add friends links at renderosity. I barely use stuff I ever bought just because of the issue that at the end no matter how much work the render caused you never done anything to get the image , People think , Pff it is just a cheap copy , adding credits makes it even worse for an artist. already if you use a Background of something you find in the net people will point fingers at you screaming you stole an idea. such a way just ends up that Costumers Buy , work hours to get a render all free then also start to make free advertisements , all the work just to Promote others!

so Sorry on my side it is a no go until renderosity gets a little more flexible and like it was already said no double standards.

I always* credit freestuff makers, rarely vendors. As stated by others above, the vendors have had our cash, that should be enough. I say this as a once (and future) vendor meself.

*As far as I can remember.

In the 14 yrs I've been posting images here, I've always credited vendors and freebies makers. Your suggestion may benefit this community as a whole, but this community is just a part of a larger community and that larger community is being left out. I just don't think it's fair for the "Poser/Daz" community that only the Renderosity vendors/freebie makers get an active link and others don't. I want to be fair to all contributors. So if others don't get a link. I will just mention :

xxx items from Renderosity yyy items from Daz Freebies from Sharecg

so non will get links. Like I said, no double standards anymore. I think that's fair. And like you said, it is not a requirement

If the members still want links, they could pm me.

And that's ok too. I'm hoping the other stuff will sort itself out soon but as Boni said, it's just a friendly reminder, not a requirement. :)

is there a gallery for mp4 clips?

i'm using fastfood by cypertenko, would add a vendor credit
