Hi,
Yes I'm terrified of the entire thing.
I've wanted to sell some of my models for some time now, but the whole process is just so complex and thus frightening.
I was therefore wondering if there is anywhere I can ask for help with this?
Is there a collection of old hands who would be willing to explain the multitude of questions I have? I know I can email the store staff, but I feel that my lack of understanding is so great that I'd be bothering very busy buisness types for niggling little uncertainties on wording, or just errant stupidity on my part.
I know there is a beta testing forum, but there seems to be such a lot of rules just for that.
I do realise that you need rules, but there's just so much you need to read and understand before you even start.
It's very daunting.
I also need someone I can ask for advice on things, like should I try selling each item individually, or make up a pack. Should I sell each item with just one texture set, or with the 2 or 3 different sets I have ready?
Is that a really naff thing to think of selling? Or is this so good it should be sold on its own... etc etc.
Should I create promos in C4d or Bryce or what? Are the Bryce Promos better or worse than the C4D ones?
I guess what I really need is a mentor of some sort....
Is that anywhere I can get this sort of help?

Hello,
Not sure if you will receive much help here but if you want to write into vendors@renderosity.com I am sure that they will be able to address any questions you may have regarding becoming a vendor with us.
Please let me know if there is anything I can asist you with too.
Thanks

Yes, I kind of thought the mentor answer might be 'no'. So there's no forum for wannabe sellers either?
I'm just so uncertain about this, it's just all rather.... fierce.
I really do want to sell things, and I am reading all the guff - guidelines, policies, rules, articles... everything - that's gonna take a long time, and I don't fully understand it all, I just feel that - if I make one wrong step a ton of bricks will fall on me from on high.

I've got a specific question:
How can you ensure (or even know) that your promo images are of 'good quality'?

Attached Link: Seller Guidelines
Fran.. Read this. It tells you everything you need to know. Was a much shorter guidelline when I started selling here..LOL..If you run into problems with pricing the Marketplace admin will help you with it. And if there's a problem with promos, they'll let you know.. So don't stress about it.
Either program will probably work for promos.. I use Bryce because I don't have the other one..
I can't help if you're doing Poser runtimes because I can never get them to work.. But I can help you package up your obj or obp models if you need me ..
Just don't think about it & jump in with both feet!! It's much easier then you think..

Yes, thanks Ravyn, that's one of the links I've printed out - makes it much easier to read, but it's difficult trying to figure out which bits - if any - apply to me and what I want to sell.

I have too old a version of Poser to be relevant I think, and besides I've hardly ever used it.
Runtimes? Runtimes!!? Arrrggggghhhhh. (lol)

I'm sure Fran..
What you need is a:
Documentation folder with your readme & site License (depending on the site you're uploading to. CP doesn't need one.)
A folder with your product in it. File size varies with the sites. Bryce obp's will eat up those megabytes in a hurry.. I use separate folders for obj files & Bryce.
Promos.. Size varies from site to site so I just use 800 x 800 px for all of them.
It really is easy.. If you need me.. Message me here or on facebook.. I'm on FB more often then I am here...
