Subject: MP Suggestion - Viewing Addon Products

It wouild be so great to be able to view all of the addons for a product at once instead of having to search for each one or go page by page through dozens of links.

Yesterday I was looking through the market place for a particular hair texture.  As it turns out that while the hair came from this MP and was part of a character addon package, the hair texture that I was looking for came from a different store,

I know you can search things, and sometimes it even works, but searching doesn't always pull up all of the addons for a product.

It would be great if Renderosity could adopt a way to view addons via a link directly from within the page of the product in question.  Similar to what Daz does with theirs.  At Daz if you see an outfit or hair that you like, you can click on the addons link and be taken to a search that relates only to that particular product.  You can see at a glance all texture addons for that particular product.

This would be of a great help to those of us who like not only buying the actual product, but also looking to see if there are any textures for that product that we would like to have.

It would be a great way to bolster sales for the merchants that support that product through creating texture packages for it.

Thanks in advance for consideration of this idea.

But is the new Kit system not that what you want ? we kitting togheter what is connected to the product.. but only when its a RMP item.
So addons can be kitted now AFAIK..

I didn't even know about that. I rarely read the front page. My link to Renderosity comes directly to the forums.

This "kitting" looks good, but it also doesn't look like it's mandatory either, and it doesn't affect the thousands of products already in the MP, which you still have to seach for and plow through dozens of pages.

Which is why I presented my suggestion :)

It shouldn't be up to the vendors to link addons to their products.  What I'm talking about can be accomplished with a bit of coding, just like it is at Daz.

So no, this "kitting" is not what I'm talking about.

Right now we've just launched the kitting thing to help out with this sort of thing like Bar-Code was saying, but I will pass that suggestion on to the team.
