Okay everyone. I'm just curious where you all go when you decide to buy a model for Poser. Do you go to the Store here at Renderosity, to Daz, or are there others that you use a lot?

some people use them all :) Renderosity Daz3d 3d-Commune Runtime DNA Poser Pros 3-D Arena Renderotica Thralldom Poser World Nerd3d Thats just a small sample of the places I visit that have Poser items for sale, apologies to anyone I've forgotten/left off the list, there's just so many really great Poser Stores around right now.

In order of usage Daz3d PoserWorld Renderosity Runtime DNA Sams3D Mec4d Nerd3d Dcort

I've used Daz, Rosity, RDNA, Dacort.

Once I downloaded some poser tool (which worked quiet fine, no complaint on that part) and made payment through Kagi Online-Shop. I have no 100% proof but I'd bet serious money that their server has been compromised sometimes: I tried to buy that software on a Saturday and it would not work: Upon sending the details of my credit card the payment would not go through although I tried several times. Next day it worked fine on the first try. A few days later I received an email in my mailbox which had a fake address (it used a NAME@mydomain so I KNEW it could not be real...I keep track of all the email addresses I issue for that domain. Apparently that "address" had been used for receiving the email confirmations for purchases with MY credit card. Only weak spot in the plan was that whoever got my credit card details tried to make it too authentic: Since I am the webmaster of that domain I received that bogus mail nevertheless since it could not be delivered to the receptient proper. Think of my surprise to learn that someone in Jakarta had used my credit card for ordering a cell phone at an electronics online shop in Dubai. Since I am located in Europe I can tell for sure U did NOT order a cell phone for delivery in Jakarta/Indonesia. Of course I contacted my credit card company right away, and no damage was done. The story even came to an amusing end when a couple of weeks later I received another email from that shop in Dubai directed to the same fake receptient, telling him that the credit card payment did not work and that in case he wanted the merchandise he should t/t the money...it almost broke my heart thinking of a lonesome Indonesian hacker sitting in his room waiting for his cell phone that will never arrive :) So be carefull. If your payment does not go through right away, something might be afoot.

Re: Snoopy101's comment about credit cards, that's the thing that I think keeps me from buying any models over the internet. There is so much credit card fraud and chicanery out there that I can't take the chance. That's unfortunate, because there is some good stuff out there offered for sale. I've also bought a couple of things that did not work properly, and had a tough time getting a refund. Maybe someday someone will figure a way to stop credit card fraud. Hope so.

Paypal can be useful for cutting down the CC fraud. Shame it's not such a widely used service within the Poser community.

DAZ Sam's 3D Renderosity are the only ones that I use the most, and maybe one or two of the others mentioned. I've never been ripped off and PayPal works just fine for me. I didn't trust it at first because I had never heard of it, but now I do and it works for those sites that don't have VeriSign or another credit card system.

Buy? I tend to make my own. I have recently bought a few animals from the DAZ Platinum Club. That's the first time I've ever bought any models in my Poser adventures. But since I've got more time than money, I prefer to build them myself. jon

Daz,Sams3D, Renderosity, 3d commune, PoserPros, runtimeDna, poserworld, poserstyle, lol I buy most every where!

Do a google search and think outside the box. many max/lw/eiu models out there that you can use.
