Clint is with RDNA now. There is an article on the front page there.

"It is good to see ourselves as others see us. Try as we may, we are never
able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi

Renderosity was first launched by the member, and Bondware software programmer, Roy Riggs (member name “fur”) on Dec 24th, 1998. In the very beginning it was mostly a lot of poser forum posts, but then quickly became an online home for all 2d and 3d artists, regardless of the software applications being used. Most of the community’s growth came when the Galleries were added in early 1999 and when the Marketplace was added in 2000.

Bondware is community software for the web that was developed within the Bondware division of EdgeNet in the late 90s. Though Renderosity was owned and hosted by EdgeNet, the site was managed by several site admins over the first couple of years. Then the Bondware division started managing the site in 2000, and Bondware rolled out of EdgeNet and became its own company on January 1st, 2001. Though I am technically the first Bondware employee, Bondware’s owner Tim Choate is probably the oldest “active” member on Renderosity.

Though the site’s official launch date is 12/24/1998, there weren’t very many membership sign-ups until 1999. There are too many members that joined in January & February of ’99 to name them all, but some of the well-known first members to join that are still active at Renderosity are MissNancy, JeffH, Spike, ClintH, MikeJ, Helen, PhilC, Thorne, Traveler & Xurge.

This is from the State of the Spotlight that was on the Front Page last week in a response posted by JeniferC about how Renderosity began.

Hope this helps:)
