Say there Bundle Buyer, would you happen to have "They Guy 4" or TheGuy4 Morph by any chance? It's not for me but for a friend. Lol. Thank you
Was really looking for a good categorizer but never really found one. There was rumor that a creator was in the process of making the ultimate catorizer-slash-organizing software until their untimely death. Yes, Dimension3d still has some other great products as well. Hopefully, his family or corporation will eventually figure out how to access his wealth of knowledge on that one drive they've been unable to access. RIP, Ralf Sesseler. Here are links to their other products on both daz and rendo plus their actual website:

Both Hivewire and content paradise have removed his name in their search engines.
Yup, that would have been some product that these stores were probably afraid some of their customers would realize they were buying the same products over and over. Oh well.
In the meantime, I've found this helpful search tool that might sniff out the key word of the product hidden within those other numbers and characters. Here's the freeware version of it. It's called ultrasearch. Hopefully it will work for you @globalrecession2009.
(https://www.jam-software.com/ultrasearch/)https://www.jam-software.com/ultrasearch/Yup. Thank you Evil Monkey. Great catch. It doesn't show up when you sort Price-low to high so this is their idea of easter eggs or something like that.
Guilty as Charged. That was me - getting rid of some excessive points by NOT putting up bounties nor spending them on characters here. I can understand the necessity to make this site a repository for content. However, like I asked myself (and some actual artists pointed out to me) "What the heck am I doing with all these characters?!?" Well, other than hoarding them, absolutely nothing - and I don't need to plead the fifth.
But this site is MORE THAN JUST ANOTHER PIRATE'S COVE! It's a place for Art Lovers. To not only share content, but bring awareness to 3D Art and encourage artists to stay focused (because my attention span is shot as well). If you want to see what artists are doing with the content here because you only look at the pictures, then may I suggest you visit the Forums tab (https://zonegfx.com/forums/) From there, you can look at the Art showcase, the free resource tab and even the Art Competition.
Speaking of Art Competition, the voting thread for Mix is already made available here:
(https://zonegfx.com/forums/topic/mixed-voting/) So don't be ashamed or discouraged to do something else here besides sharing. I truly believe this site to be quite unique and serves a greater purpose. I'd hate to ever consider that the content shared here is merely digital media. It is Art. You can either share art while it's still in it's digital (potential) form OR you can do something productive with it (exponential). To the great people that actually share content here, I personally want to thank you Very much for being so generous. And to those that share your art on this site I personally want to thank you very much for being so generous as well.
See? I'm doing something with content I acquire. Ahem, if I may weigh in...
Methinks the grandiose attitude exhibited by artists such as Adam celebrity series Thwaites that it probably has more to do with hissy-fits of some sorts more than anything to do with economics or talent.(https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/457535803644575745/499374511834005504/wallpaper_jpg.jpg) That is a bigger picture of my wallpaper I made of the entries.
Here is the link to the voting page if you want to download them and make a screensaver as I've done.

I just finished transferring thank you points for voting.
Again, that was a great contest and I'm so grateful that you participated in the voting process.
My Dear Dragon, it's all good. There were no losers in this contest. Not exactly T-Ball but mainly an old man wanting to show his appreciation for the Arts and the Artists here on ZoneGFX. By the way, I am as you know a Connoisseur of delectable cuisine. Are the Fuddruckers Angus Bacon Cheeseburgers really that good? Now you've got me intrigued palate to trek on down to the nearest Fuddruckers to see if in fact that burger is as good as @tommytomahawk 's entry. Let me tell you something, when I say I loved each entry for their own merits, you can believe it that all of my supposed 23 personalities were moved by each entry to a whole new level.
@Hunter has informed me that all prizes have been awarded for the contestants. Now I will work on compiling a list of gratitude points for the persons that submitted a vote. I loved this contest so much I made it my wallpaper.
@Tommytomahawk, I'm so glad you and everyone else entered and voted. I must admit I didn't vote for the simple reason I actually love every one of the entries for their own uniqueness. I made this contest to give back to this great community AND reward Art and Courage in some aspect. It took quite a lot of courage to share what inspired you to pursue 3d Art. And it took even more humility to present that in Art form. The reason I required voters to select three was because I know it's kind of hard to select or not to select one's own work. After all, this inspired you. So now voters were forced to select two more choices. On top of that, you were required to put those three in the order of your own choice. If contestants found someone else's work more inspiring than their own, then they voted as such. I didn't even bother to see whom voted what for whom because that isn't the point of this contest. I only keep it up to validate my count - as should each contestant that feels disenfranchised by my crappy math. I did everything possible to get more voter participation amongst the 14,000 supposed members. For the past seven days, I made a post to bump that thread on top of the feed. Can you imagine the counting if more persons had voted? in theory, a person who's art received 100 third place votes could have beaten a person that received 20 first place votes. Why? because I didn't think through how I was going to tally up the votes. Bittersweetly, only 19 persons voted (a non-vote is still the act of voting in my opinion). How did I figure out who would get the grand prize? I gave each vote the value as if it got the point value for the order they were selected; 1st=50k, 2nd=30k, 3rd=20k. I add those up to determine the winners. Since there were only 23 entries, it made it easier for me to determine the prize awards for everyone else - by multiplying the sum with the factor of 1/10 their score. This also prevented the 4th place person getting more than the 3rd place person. With the entries that didn't get any votes, I gave the value of 0=1,000 with no multiplier.
I hadn't planned on forking out more than 200,000 of my own points but I did so and that doesn't bother me one bit because it is worth it to be rendering again.
Yes, my selfish reason for this contest was to 'motivate me' to continue pursuing 3d Art - aside from my own failing memory and eye sight. All of the voters and the participants succeeded in not only motivating themselves but me as well. If you don't mind, I'm going back to rendering bears at a bus stop. Please PM me when you receive your prizes

Thank you.This is the longest they've been unavailable but so is 3dzone.link. (I suspect also Phoungdzu but I can't complain about the uploads they've donated.
It could be a pattern of them up and down. I checked them with
(www.isitdownrightnow.com) Down for everyone
and
(www.whois.sc / http://www.domaintools.com) and it is indicating "deleted domain"
So not sure. Phuongdzu does have a few other sites, but none ROCK like this place.
