Look, Renderosity has about 800,000 registered members, at the moment there are about 3,000 users online and everybody has his own interests and wishes. If you check the forums, there are only a few people complaining about several things so, it couldn't be that bad and, this is not final state, there are a lot of bits and pieces that have to be rebuilt but it takes time and ressources.

Or people have just given up, not only complaining but visiting and shopping. The site is complicated sales don't work as advertised and then its difficult to know if you are in the correct section for what you want; several extra clicks for everything - personally I just won't bother even less than I have.

Not a joke at all. I have set that to start in just a few minutes. Sorry for the error.

Oh well never mind I've changed my mind and spent the funds I had spare elsewhere. perhaps in future you could make sure that sales start and end when they are advertised to, therefore not risking losing your vendors revenue.

All our products are POSER content, lately including Superfly and Firefly support. The sales for Poser native content are (to say the least) poor during the past 4 or 5 years, but I stick with Poser because in my oppinion (over the past 15 years) Poser is the better software, in that it leaves all the liberty to the user, while DAZ-Studio has more and more closed up, using cryptografic file formats, preventing users from 'working under the hood, if they like'. I do use DAZ-Studio as a teacher at school, because for students a freeware software is just a good start. So I do know DAZ-Studio quite well. However I hate the philosophy of automatization and making things more and more complicated so that new users become completely depending on automated libraries and one click whatever, instead of learning a deeper understanding, looking into cr2 or obj files and learn how they work. So I tell my students, DAZ-Studio is fine for a quick first introduction and quickly getting 'click one button to quickly make pseudo art' solutions, but if you want to be in full control of everything, go for professional open software like Poser, or even Lightwave, because they don't restrict you with cryptic file formats which can nowhere be found documented... Even Firefly can use PBR materials, Superfly even more, and if you want more you can still go for Lux-Render (through Reality plugin or whatever else), Poser leaves you all the liberty. My 5 pennies, sorry for my anger, am frustrated about the aggressive marketing strategy of DAZ spilling DAZ-Studio for free to make customers depending on their expensive content, and to starve good professional software from the market. Monopoly at its worst... I'm now abandoning content creation as a real income. But I prefer giving up instead of surrendering to DAZ. Others may chose the money instead, its fine, its everybody's individual choice. The Project E character is a killer, it is what was needed so desperately for Poser. A male character of the same make would be all there is needed for the next years to make awsome use in Poser. But still there are customers who are just too lazy to learn a little about handling 3D content, and who prefer the 'one click fully automized' environment in DAZ-Studio. Telling 'I want to make art, but I don't want to learn or read a manual, my art must come out of the machine with a single click of a button. Automated clothing, automated pose, automates lighting, automated camera position, am I not such a great artist???'. Wonderful new world of DAZ Studio, congratulations.

What you are writing here is an Insult to all Daz Studio users. I do not think you actually worked with Daz Studio if you had you would not write such utter nonsense. I am a Daz Studio user, but I worked with Poser for years. I know both programs but Daz Studio is the program I chose to use. I have not yet found the instant Art button in Daz Studio of which you seem to speak. Petra

Well said Petra.

Up until now I've not responded in this thread, but TrekkieGrrrl made a very good point. Poser compatible content CAN be used in DS. I don't have the most recent version of DS (haven't upgraded past DS4.0 Pro and the original Genesis), but I still have all the content installed which I purchased over the 8 years I was using DS2 and DS3 Advanced (my largest Runtime) exclusively, and I CAN access and use it all since getting back to Poser with P9 and PP11.

I could probably count on one hand the number of items I bought over those 8 years that were exclusively DS products, so I don't understand why products have to be made exclusively for DS, and not usable in Poser. That's just my 2¢, FWIW.

Not all content can, and in the past DS users had to take a chance when purchasing Poser items because none of them were tested in DS which meant no refunds if they didn't work.

Well then, I must be one lucky individual, because I never had a problem with a Poser compatible item all the years I was working in DS exclusively.

DS has changed a great deal in the last few years. There are numerous products created for Poser that do not work in DS, anything weightmapped anything using Poser procedurals and other things, As a Dawn Dusk user I'm surprised that you are not aware of this, 2 separate products have to be created to support the different programs.

Our programmers have been working diligently on getting a better system in place to manage what you do and do not receive from us in terms of emails. Please CLICK HERE to visit the new email management system. It's here that you can opt-in/opt-out of various messages.

Please keep in mind that this is not the same as receiving notifications from artists you have favorited or vendors that you follow. Those notification settings can be managed HERE

Honestly Followed your link and I can't get the tiny tiny little check boxes to unclick, then the page crashed on me.

Yep they have started again for me too. Today I get an email all about Poser content which I really don't care about; please is there not some way to make sure you stop these unless I choose differently, if you think it helps sell stuff it doesn't for me it works the opposite.

Congrats Erock2017 just love your French Hens.

I didn't really have as much time for this as I would have liked Four Calling Birds

I don't have a Pear tree, so here's a Partridge, a tree and some pears. Ist day of Christmas partridge1.jpg

Why does it take a warning that I am reporting Renderosity for anyone to reply?

Still getting emails and there's been no reply here, so I'm presuming that either Renderosity don't care or are incapable of stopping emails so I'm going to have to report this as unsolicited spam hopefully a fine or court order will get your tech department to pull their finger out and fix whatever the problem is.

I have boxes checked no but am still getting the emails. This is a problem that needs to be solved completely, just solving for individuals that complain isn't really a solution.

@tparo - I noticed that your profile still has the 'Yes' checked to receive newsletters from us. If you would not like to receive future messages, please check 'No'. Here's the page at which you can manage this setting: https://www.renderosity.com/settings/

@Khai-J-Bach - I'm not sure why that forum Mod locked down that thread I commented on last night as I was wanting a response from you to better help your situation. I'll post it again here...Are you receiving our Wednesday Weekly Newsletter and Saturday Top Sellers Broadcast or are you only receiving those messages like the one you quoted from Jenn Blake?

Thanks, Tim

Thanks - I could have sworn I had set that to No. Will this also stop all the wish list list emails?

No, my luck running out would be an admin answering my thread.

LOL.. If that's the one about the unwanted emails I see it's been sorted for a couple of you and the threads closed, the rest of us just have to put up with it, personally I've just marked all emails from Rendo as spam.

My experience with Reality - is it's as buggy as hell and a real pain to work with. Its also very slow to render unless you have a very powerful up to date Graphics card. The length of time it took to set up mats etc for Reality and the slowness of renders outweighed the ability to alter lighting while rendering. Iray CPU rendering was faster for me than Reality was and altering surfaces for Iray was much quicker than altering mats for Reality.
