Yes, I think he was subconsciously made in the image of the child on my train last night. His name is 'Whine', a popular name for children in the supermarkets round here. (Wayne yelled with a strident Essex accent). Definitely bitey.

Thanks:) How about baby Chupacabras?

Thanks, Sixus1! I'm glad you like him. I thought he might be a bit too cute for you

What's the best way to get in touch with you guys these days?

Thank you very much! It is very much appreciated.

I think it depends who you ask. In any of the brokerages there'll be some people who've had a bad experience and others who think the sun shines out of...

I can only speak for myself; I have found them to be on a par with the lamented Poser pros with fast, relevant and courteous replies to queries, to give me a fair crack of the whip in promotions, and to have a high sales turnover in general.

I have found one or two of those things in other places, but not all three. Other people's experience may well be different.

I think most if not all of the people who make their way over from Poser pros may well choose to sign up with one of the partners who have already opened dialogues. Which isn't a bad way to go; I was working through Netherworks for about a year before Joe found that he hadn't got time to make anything cos he was so busy looking after us and we all set out as solo artists :)

I still think 'not making the DAZ cut' isn't fair. There are lots of reasons to choose a broker (mine were listed above) and I'd hate to see anyone who makes a non-DAZ choice, be it CP, Rendo, or wherever being tarred with 'it's here cos it wasn't good enough for DAZ'. Because it's not necessarily true. There's some brilliant artists right here at Renderosity who are just as good as the guys at DAZ. But they choose to be here. I've got products at DAZ. But right now I choose to be mostly at CP.

Thank you for giving it serious consideration and thought; I'm sure we all appreciate it can't happen instantly, especially for the data where you haven't got a good join. I hope your programmer's feeling better soon.

I've been there for a while, so I'm not sure what criteria they are using to choose between vendors. But of the ones who are there, RDNA certainly support both CP and DAZ figures, as does Netherworks. Sixus are all original content that is outside of the store figures; meshbox do architecture, Vanishing point does lots of different things, there's someone who does music tracks, and lots of people doing 2d photoshop content.

I've got an Apollo character there (as you probably know; yes,I'm sorry I haven't stopped by or done anything new for Apollo - I've got a Koji fixation at the moment and each character seems to lead me into another one.... but I'll be back around) and people who are already brokering there have no editorial interference on what they choose to sell. I seem to recollect that my Apollo character got a slot in either the newsletter or the front page, so they can't have been too offended by him.

I'm sorry they weren't keen on Apollo products; I suppose if there's a queue they'd give preference to people who do at least some support for their things. There are several brokerages who operate through CP as well as running their own stores - perhaps one of those would be interested? Since there's no particular requirement for exclusivity (AFAIK), you wouldn't have anything to lose by asking them.

CP take products for any character, including some of the lesser known ones. But those people who do support the G2 figures (me included) put products there for preference because it makes sense to have those products in the same shop as the figures. And Apollo has his big forum there, so there are Apollo things. I would guess people who are making skins for Vicki would probably opt for the AZM for preference.

A lot of the things I make, landscape props, shaders and stuff, are store-neutral, and they go to CP just cos I like it there.

Probably Renderosity is indeed the most neutral of the big stores now for character add-ons, purely because they don't have any 'official store characters'. But Cp takes things fpr DAZ people, and now the AZM is going to take things for CP people. The way it ends up is just cos it makes marketing sense when vendors are choosing a store.

Thanks :) I'm sorry I couldn't figure out how to DAZ Studio the height maps :(

*I wonder where merchants whom don't make the DAZ cut will end up going :  

*There's a thread over at PP where merchants will be trading, but don't assume it's cos they didn't make the cut. There's quite a few good brokerages out there now, and many people may have chosen ones other than AZM. Or some are putting some products at the AZM and keeping others in other places. *

This would be very helpful.

It's not off-site - the link to CP, AFAIK, sourced downloads straight from here rather than transferring the files there for download. So the files were always here, on this site. And still are.

You have lists of those purchases. The difficulty is that people have different names. The cut-price option is to simply do all those people who have the same email address registered here as at CP - that could be done with a very short program. It's not all of them, but those who would require manual intervention would be a very small subset.

It would obviously involve some work and some costs, but goodwill is also usually rated as a material asset in assessment of a company, and therefore worth something.

There's some great bargains in here, and lots of different things to interest everyone. I'm very pleased with my elephant and free donkey!

Nope, didn't miss any of those... but I can highly recommend them all :)

I know ..... /*slaps paws/ 

*I'm catching up on my release announcements right now!

I didn't know the clothes were available! Thanks for telling us. 

I'm equally bad - the Guardians for Kitsune are up at CP:  http://www.contentparadise.com/us/user/guardians_for_kitsune_product_33540
