Hi, I'm new here. I have a bunch of daz3d items that I could post here. If I start posting a ton of stuff is that going to be a problem. I don't want to overload some admin who has to review these manually or something like that.
Thanks for the replies. It's very helpful. I will do my best not to post duplicates. I don't have a ton of free time, but I'm a good coder so I wrote some code to check. I did a search for each of the 4k SKU that I have. If there was a match I compared the name of the best match found with the name from daz3d.com. If the name didn't match perfectly I calculated the Levenshtein distance to see how close the match was.
I found 1,396 items that had no results on ZoneGfx. Another 873 had a match but it wasn't perfect. For 698 of those the Levenshtein distance was over 15 so it's fairly safe to say it's not a match, but to be sure I will have to do more work. There are another 7 where the match is perfect but the category on ZoneGfx is 'Dead Posts'. So I figure for now I will start with the 1,396 SKUs that didn't have a match and the 7 that are in 'Dead Posts'. I have download links on cloudghost. I haven't figured out a good way to automate putting them on google drive or mega. Since cloudghost has a 1.5GB limit for free downloads I checked the file sizes and found 1,372 + 6 dead posts are under that limit.
I wrote a script to automatically upload the images to Postimages and I scraped the description, compatible software, compatible figures, base figures and required products from daz3d.com and generate tags based on the data. I don't have anything for file format. The script worked for all but 52 of the items. Those 52 seem to have been removed from daz3d.com.
So I have 1,326 items ready to be posted. I think I should start with a few to make sure it is working, then post a couple hundred during off peak time each day.
If anyone sees any problem or has an objection to this, please let me know here. Otherwise I will start in the next few days.
I think it's used more for spell check suggestions or 'did you mean' functions, but yes it seems many search systems start by trying to to get as many matches as possible. So they include things like substring matches which gets you totally unrelated words that happen to contain a word in your search. They match any word in any grammatical form against any text associated with a post and then try to calculate 'relevance' in ways don't work in practice the way they were supposed to.
