JoJo was my friend. She was one of the most beautiful, generous, inspiring, and talented people I knew. Because of life and my own health I had not been able to talk to her in a while. I'm going to miss her.

I'm friends with a few Vendors, I'm also and member of several digital content communities, I'm even a beta tester for some sites, can't say which because of NDA. I'm a render artist, computer technician, and designer. I have a multi faceted way of looking at everything and everything that Renderosity is doing, from my perspective, is wrong. Its Windows 8 Levels of wrong.

Windows 8 is so bad and did so terribly in the market that sales of windows 8 products got to the point where manufactures and stores could not give the products away. Many of them ended up pulling their entire stock from the store shelves of entire countries. If you ask me Windows 10 is just as bad if not worse. Windows 8 is something that not even Microsoft wants to be a part of which is why they are phasing it out. We have a similar situation here. Renderosity has become something that no one wants to be a part of and I am fairly sure if things continue down this road, Bondware is going to sell it off. That might actually be the best thing that can happen to the site.

Hey look, we have a vendor and long time community member who also hates the new site and has said pretty much everything I have.

Every month I set aside a 3D spending budget. I have to carefully pick where and on what I spend it on. Do I spend it on a site that has no consideration for its consumer base, or do I give to one that is actually ran by its consumer base.

I have spent this year a total of $106.38 on sale items only while last year I spent a total of $271.33 I am fairly sure that in 2013 before the site and staff changes took place the number was at least twice that. Can someone guess the sum total of what I want to spend on the site now. If you guess a total of $0.00, you guessed correctly.
That sum of money may not be a lot to other people or Renderosity, but it's a lot to me. I have found other site where my money is more appreciated and that is where I have been spending.

I am typing this from my galaxy tab three. The overall experience of navigating the site on a mobile device is just as bad as it is on a desktop. Now instead of having two separate yet still decent sites, you have one really terrible site. Now instead of just complying with what google wants, you are alienating your consumer base. I know its nearly impossible to please every one but the number of people who hate the new site is overwhelmingly high. Oh and the infinite scroll takes just as long as it does on the desktop.

This last bit is a direct reply to taximan. Renderosity does not care if it loses people.

Per usual, the layout is also inconsistent. When you browse a members gallery it uses the page system while the main page and searches still use infinite scroll which I hate.

I've been a member of the site since around 2006.The one thing I have learned is. Renderosity does not care what any of us have to say. As long as the site continues to generate money, they will continue to run it what ever way they see fit with complete and utter disregard for the community. Even if that means running it into the ground, Which is what they have been doing. This site went from being the best to being thee very worst of digital content sites.

This site has lost some of its best artist, artist who do promotional work for the vendors exclusively. Its lost some of their best members and vendors. The few big vendors they have left, many of them no longer have exclusivity to Renderosity. Off the top of my head I can name at least five other digital content sites that I prefer over Renderosity.

I have not posted an image to the gallery here in over a year because I got sick of all of the limitations. Do you know how hard it is to shrink an image from 5 megs to 512 k without losing its integrity? Now the Gallery has Infinite Scroll. That means I will no longer even visit the gallery.

Deviant Art Rules!

I've been buying less and less over the last three years or so to the point where after my card got hacked I've only made two purchases via paypal. which were incredibly hard to make because the paypal check out does not work. It seems to me that The Renderosity Staff has the most incapable people working on the actual layout of the site. The New Gallery is Horrid and cumbersome as is the new market place. There is one thing I have to say. I HATE INFINITE SCROLL.

Keeping the Departments layout with the 3d figure essentials and removing the Vendor Search was beyond asinine!

I feel like Renderosity has been treating its vendor and consumer base the worst of any site I visit so to that I only have one thing to say. NOT COOL.

I have not posted an image to the gallery in over a year because I got sick of the limitations. Now I post over at Deviant Art.

I just want to say thank you to the Renderosity Staff for not only providing one of the most unpleasant but now insecure shopping experiences on the internet. Thank for the inconvenience of having my only card hacked leaving me unable to buy anything, pay any of my bills, and now having to wait a week for a replacement. Thank you for making me feel like I can no longer trust your site.Thank you for the late fees I now have to face. Thank you for always knowing just how to make me feel unwelcome on your site. Thank you for always knowing how not to make me feel like a valued customer of several years. Thank you for never taking responsibility for when you have done something wrong. Thank you for never fixing any of the problems your site has had over the years.

Well its Octorber 14th and I have not made any purchases from the marketplace, at least the renderosity marketplace. I got an email for a promo, Get 40 percent off an order of 40 dollars, and I'm like no thank you.

Actually I am a platinum plus member at daz. I find the service is great and the site is easy to use, plus one can't beat the prices.

I was having trouble doing so recently. The problem is that the site layout is very nonintuitive and stupid. The split in the departments in my opinion is not needed. For buildings you have to go to 3D Models/Architecture and for Vehicles 3D Models/ Transportation. After you have reached said locations you have to do a lot of scrolling in order to find what you need. It looks like they have fixed the issue I was having last week with the dead links. The sites a mess and I hope they redo the entire thing soon.

I posted links to each section for you to checkout

I can find my way around the site, does that mean I like it? hell no! Its ugly, everything is way too big, its not user friendly, has a lot of bugs and the staff is just terrible. I know I can be hard on things and people but. Should I really have to go through such a hard time to buy something. 

I found two new sites that have a lot of interesting content and a very simple web layout. So I am working on phasing out this store completely.

thank you for trying though

That's what I been doing. I bought Churros at Churro Mania and Three Creatura figures at Daz. HP Triton I am getting from another store.

The only things I have bought recently have been on crazy sales. 70% off
