AWESOME!  NUFF SAID!

Quote -  Most modelling artists watch releases (freebies and for sale) like a hawk, looking for something similar to theirs. 

Generally they will rip your name through the mud eve if it isn't a copyright issue, Iv'e seen some pretty vicious attacks regarding 2 diferent artists creating similar models of their own designs.

Basically both artists made models of similar products so one artists slams the other for "copying" their idea.

If not remove it extend it out longer.

I could understand when the policy was enacted back when disk space was expensive, but thats dropping by leaps and bounds.

I don;t agree with eliminating it completely but would like to see the periods extended.

Also Daz is going to be going through another retirement phase, but they are retiring VERY old items , (V1).

Thanks for those that replied. Out of the lot of you I have found 2 artists that have the visual style i am looking for and they will be contacted shortly regarding some of the products I will need them to work on.

Again thanks for the responses.

Mostly I make Poser ready Props/Smart props. Mostly weapons. So the imagery would be using V4/M4 with the weapons. I make anything form High Fantasy to modern/ Future weapons.

Some of my most recent products over at Daz3d have been a MP5K , and a few special projects for Vampire Hermosos and Third Degree. Mostly what I am looking for is someone to work with the stuff that isn't falling under those product lines.

Most stuff is shown to my partners in those groups first to see if we want to pick them up, If so then the team picks up a lot of the rendering work. I'm a team member in those groups for my modeling skills not my rendering skills :) If they are not chosen for those lines (usually because they don't fit into the current development time line, in otherwords they dont fit any of the current or planned characters) then I will be releasing them myself, and its for those items I need an artist.

are you just looking for a mummy TEXTURE, say for M3 or a body suit. or maybe a testure with some added props to ad more depth.

Rules so far:

1. Main forces must be comprised of a concept. This will allow players to utilize many figures at their disposal to represent opposing Armys in their renders. ***Any participant should be able to create an opposing army concept without having to make a major purchase (freebies prefered)
   ***2) All participates will need to declare their army in the forums.( if we get our own forum we would create a stickied Thread for just that.) Threads needed would include:
        a ) Rules (stickied)
        b) Army Declaration (stickied)
        c) Renderwars: this is where the fun happens
2. nothing that violates the ToS here at Renderosity.
3. I feel 1 post per 24 hour period per "player" is appropiate.
4. Posts are attacks against your avatars. NOT personal attacks against the member
5. keep it fun

i made a wording change to the first rule. The idea here is to prevent anyone from having to BUY to participate. The moment we force somone to have to make a purchase to play, we take out the fun factor and make it a marketing avenue. I myself am a merchant, and am willing to prevent this. For merchants remeber tghis is also a FUN way to put your work out there as samples. In fact, the old Renderwars is how I got started, no I am not a top seller, but it all started years ago when I had a faction called "ACME ARMS". basically I would make props for each team at there request, eventually somone came along and said, "hey, you know you should consider being a merchant" . That was Sargebear.

anymore input on this idea?

oh, sorry i was working on another project didnt see the response, I did military weapons primarily because that was what was requested.

Did you get your rifle, if not i can work on something over the weekend.

as for using it for comercial purposes, though I would probally make it  a freebie, I usually allow limited comercial use, basically just let me know what its being used for so i can link it and say "yeah..I made that" LOL

hehe NP Sarge..actually that was why I started this thread, was to get community input/ moderators looking. and a feel of what we could/can/cannot develop.

Also to note, I was intot he old renderwars..remember ACME ARMS...i think the renderwars is what inspired me to make all the guns I made early on here. You would want to respond to an image and have to get something rendered up and think oh only if I had a.....and then scour the net looking for a model, or whipping up your modeling app and getting to making just what you needed.

We used to sit in the chat rooms and people would pop in and ask.."anyone know where i can get a bucket? need it for my renderwar image" and the rest of us in there would all look at our screens in ponderment thinking, why does TIO need a bucket?

ok so every poser user ISN't going to render a G rated scene. who cares. Calling V4 dressed up in some vamp outfit barely covering her "highlights" Ghetto, is , IMO is the equivelant of calling The Birth of Venus by Botticelli , porno.

Renderosity is a site for people to experiment and develop their skills. Members here use a variety of tools , I myself use Poser , Bryce and 3D Studio Max. Just because I have Max doesn't mean I have to put down the lower end tools, each has their purpose as well as their learning curves. I have seen crap made in Max and masterpieces made in Poser. What tools get you there are irrelevant , if the outcome looks good. then its art.

I don't recal its actual name but thats it

yeah sarge, same thing basically , just want to set some rules. thats the purpose of this thread, to help hash out the rules.

So Far we have the following:

1. Main forces must be comprised of a concept. This will allow players to utilize many figures at their disposal to represent opposing Armys in their renders. If you are creating specific figures for use , there must be ample freebies available so that others can attack our army without forcing a purchase.
2. All participates will need to declare their army in the forums.( if we get our own forum we would create a stickied Thread for just that.) Threads needed would include:
        a ) Rules (stickied)
        b) Army Declaration (stickied)
        c) Renderwars: this is where the fun happens
3. nothing that violates the ToS here at Renderosity.
4. I feel 1 post per 24 hour period per "player" is appropiate.
5. Posts are attacks against your avatars. NOT personal attacks against the member
6. keep it fun

I am seeking input into whether we want preset teams , and the users can join a team, or to just keep it open to anyone creating a team and jumping into the fray.

If preset teams are selected, what would they be?

what type of restrictions do we need to keep it clean/ fun

yeah basically, OR Black could bring his skeletons out and hack the ogre to pieces, followed by my INSECToid army swarming the skeletons and taking their bones back to their secret lair....

In essance we need a way to have individuals state the army Concept, base figures, and if we want to choose a side

Concept: Robotic Insects (location of origin unknown)
Base Figues: INSECToids by myself..will be released soon.
SIDE: my own  
Allied with: hmmmm lets see who else joins but if Acadia does make a mutant Bunny Army..I will have to kill them :tt2:

haha , I know the feeling
