For the past two or three weeks, I've been working on putting together a Directory of vendors who make Poser content.

As some of you may have heard or read elsewhere, I'm currently in the midst of collecting and compiling a directory of vendors who make content native to Poser. Sorry, DSON doesn't count. My current intention is simply to list the categories of content, and place the name of each vendor under the category for which he makes content. So a vendor's name may appear under several different categories. I may even include a freebie category for creators who aren't in stores yet or release on freebie sites like Renderosity's Freestuff and ShareCG.

I'm currently combing through stores and websites trying to find the names of these creators, and I'd like some help. If you know of a creator who's been left off the list, or if you are a creator who makes native Poser content. add your name or theirs to this thread and site mail me at Renderosity a link to where I can find your page or store.

Poser Directory banner. I'm getting there.

Looks good Earl.

Thank you Miss B. I need to finish this though, so I can get back to work on Dawn's house.

Yes you do, as she's been bugging me about needing to move . . . soon.

So, how would we know what you are missing!

There are threads at Hivewire and the Smith Micro forums which have lists of content creator names. You can check those out.

Fantastic work Earl, thank you very much!

Render On!!!

Great work

Fantastic work Earl, thank you very much!

Render On!!!

I haven't actually rendered anything since just before my heart episode a few months ago. I have fired up both Poser and Blender thoiugh

A quick question for anyone who knows, but first : I'm still adding and subtracting categories to the directory. This is basically so that it will be easier for you the user, to be able to locate any prop, hair, scene, or pose you might be looking for by the content creator. That said, I'ved decided to add a new category to the list called Dynamic Cloth. I've only got three or four names so far, but it you know of a creator, and where they can be found, who makes dynamic cloth clothing please let me know.

Finally, if any one know where Dreamland Models gets the old vintage cars he uses in his promos. Please let me know. Also looking for content creators who make any style of motorized vehicles. That includes, Trucks, vans, cars, boats, motorcycles, planes, etc.

This is great Earl! You are doing a great service. Sorry to hear about your heart eposide. I hope you are healing well. My "Render On!" salutation is a variation from the Xena: Warrior Princess fan community where they say "Battle On!". I hope you get to creating soon as well.

Hi Earl, if you don't already have him on your list, you might check out Simon-3D here in the Renderosity Marketplace.

Thanks for the tip, Miss B.

I'm still learnin' stuff...

I currently have about 150 vendors on my list. I will be posting that list in the forums at Hivewire, SmithMicro and here at Renderosity soon. If you do not see the name of your favorite Poser content vendor listed, or know of one I've missed, then please let me know via site mail. Also, if you can send a link where i can find their current store, it would be helpful. you can look for the list to be posted in the next couple of days.

Okay, so I made a list of vendors names that I have so far, pausing at 154. Let me know if there's someone missing, someone listed twice, someone who's an axe murderer, etc.

Whew! Over 200 vendor names!!!!!!

Are these currently active producers or does this include those who used to produce Poser content but moved on?

It's actually the latter, including at least one that has passed on and several that hasn't produced content in over 5 years.

Depends on what you mean by "currently active" and "moved on". These vendors, most of them anyway, all have products currently for sale at one or more of the brokerages that sell product for DAZ Studio and Poser. I know of at least two or three on the list who are currently, deceased, so no I don't believe they're currently working on anything new.

OMG!! I'm not in the list.

ghostman posted at 1:15PM Mon, 28 August 2017 - #4313101

OMG!! I'm not in the list.

You're in the directory, just not listed here.

Making the links to vendors now. What do you guys think of the home page?

Looking good Earl!!!

My only suggestion, and you can ignore this if you wish, but the gold gradient buttons don't really tie in with anything else in your site's design, which is mostly white and shades of blue, with red as a contrast color.

Since the category links are white text on a blue background, how about blue text on a white/gray gradient background for your main site buttons. Here's a quick example of what I'm thinking would work nicely.

Earl, I think the graphic designers are coming after you! We can't help ourselves. We see something we want to design it!! We love what you are doing.

Not being picky, but I think MissB is right:

Her suggestion looks better because the yellow/gold buttons somehow stuck out like a sore thumb.

Apart from this little detail I think that your layout is a very viable solution (keeping in mind that there can never be a "perfect" solution).

I guess most people who visit your site don't do it just for fun.

They do it because they are looking for a particulat item!

Your layout will help them to get to the vendors which sell productds in that category. I like it!

Peter

Yeah, she's not the only one, but I did ask how people liked it. My problem with the button color is that that was their original color, and with the light blue background, they sort of just blend into the background too much for my tastes. I hope Miss B won't be offended, but I'm going to leave them alone for now.

Of course not Earl. I said you could ignore it. Think about it, and if the buttons you have are what you want, or you decide on another set of colors for the main site buttons, that's your choice to make. I was just making a suggestion to give you an idea to think about.

Shooting for launch at the end of the month.

I'm a Renderosity Affiliate!

Two Weeks til launch! Fingers crossed.

Hi if by "FoRender" you mean this person:

there was quit a bit of controversy, on this very forum, about this person allegedly ripping models from games and rigging them for poser to sell.

There are many allegations: http://polycount.com/discussion/83608/ripped-and-sold

Unfortunately, I have nothing but allegations to go on and even your forum thread that you linked to said everything was taken down six years ago. If i have something more substantial to go on, I'll delete any links to that site.

Okay folks. If everything goes as planned. the Site goes live in one week. I've already got my host, and my domain name. keep watching here.

Almost live.

Go! Go! GO! I think you've created something really useful here. Our next task is to make it known in the Poser community outside of our community bubble of the major forums... Not easy!

Maybe you really should make an effort to include your list with SM's next itereationof Poser, and to also list them on their Poser homepage to showcase potential Poser users what's available.

I mean:

• They look at DAZ and see thousands of great renders of stuff available, and D|S is still free.
• Then they still decide to buy Poser, against all odds - and get Andy!

Googling desparately for Poser content ends up as it always does: page after page of Genesis stuff.

But if SM would really go beyond it's arrogant "Phttt! We sell software, not content" attitude and provide users with a comprehensive list of content made specifically for Poser, they would help new users a LOT! Before they move to DAZ because of the better content available almost everywhere...

EClark, if you can make this happen you really deserve a medal (CMOH, VC, GC, OBE - choose any!)

Peter

Okay, I'm jumping the gun a bit here, but I'm anxious for everyone to get some use out of this. So you can find the directory here:

Nice work and thanks for including mine.

Edited to add do you have any banners or anything so the sites listed can link back to you ?

To be honest, never really thought about it. My focus has always been on helping users find you, the vendors.

That's a good and honest intention. But you should also think about advertising your site so it becomes known in the community! So a sort of "official" banner might be in order. You and me can make one ourselves and link it to your site, but not all people can; so a simple c/p template might help those a lot!

You don't like the red banner on the site?

You should have a contact link on your directory page so any vendor who is not listed but satisfies your selection criteria can apply to have their name included. Hint, hint

I'm working on it. If you need to reach me though, you can always reach me through Renderosity sitemail, or the HiveWire Forum messages.. Actually though, you could help me test something out. Could you send an email to Avis at 3dcontentdirectory.com? I need to see if that email is working.And just so you know, you need to be a Poser content vendor with Poser content currently available either from your own website or an online store to be listed. You also need to have at least one product. I would prefer more, but it's not a crucial requirement. Oh, and nothing DSON compatible. It has to be native Poser format.

Email sent as requested.

My new banner with the web address on it.

It's looking good Earl.

Miss B posted at 2:29PM Sun, 01 October 2017 - #4315160

It's looking good Earl.

Thanks miss B. Now that Keppel has helped me out with my email. I need to put together a contact page.
