Bumping, this really needs to be answered. Your apps are amazing!
Thank you! As you seem to know I've written similar apps for both the DAZ and the RDNA stores, never had any problems there. DAZ even contacted me (yes they contacted me, unsolicited), offering to help me with the one I was working on for their new store back in 2013, and gave me (after I had signed an NDA) info about how their store worked internally, which was very useful. And that app is still being used by many. I haven't implemented file download in that app as they were working on their own DIM at that time, but they gave me info about how to do that anyway, in case I wanted to (the old version for their old store was a dedicated content file downloader and organizer actually).
Many users of the DAZ and RDNA apps have asked me to make one for Renderosity, so there seem to be a need for one. I'm not really doing it for the money, it's a niche market and the profit is probably small compared to the amount of work (I actually haven't made a cent of any of the apps I've made so far though so I can't tell). I could probably make a lot more money on making 3D content or writing other types of apps, but I have close to 20.000 content products I need to organize and categorize myself so I need these tools myself also. The 3D content world is a huge mess when it comes to organization and standards, and that's driving me and many others nuts. So currently I'm dedicating myself to making tools that can save time and make life easier in this area.
