Question regarding RH vs. Patreon

[3DLover]

Hi everyone! 🙂

Just a general query really but is it acceptable to fill requests for a model if it's the same model just from the artist's Patreon rather than purchased via RH? I have a few models that I see requests for, but I purchased them through Patreon, not RH so was just wondering what the rule is.

Thanks!

I shared several Patreon items when they were first released in Daz months later, and people will download and use them. Then they report you so the product becomes free for them, claiming it’s not the same rquested product or that some “x” or “y” folder is missing. Moderators often don’t verify whether that’s true or not, and your points get reset, making you feel like you never want to share anything again, not even the stuff with Premier coupon.

So my advise is no, don't share a Patreon link on a RH request.

Give is a try with one and see how it works out.

There are many vendors that share/sell their files on Patreon and Renderhub. Sharing those Patreon files is fine.

Here's where things can be difficult. Sometimes a vendor will do a major update. A request is made for the update, then someone attempts to fill the update request with the old file. That's the only issue I have seen come up with this scenario.

edit: I always verify before challenging anything.
