The problem with AI is the lack of precision. It can take your render and use it as a loose guide, but it can't reproduce your character, object, or environments faithfully, especially if you are rendering for games, videos, comics, etc...
There will always be variance and inconsistency from one shot to the next. That will be improved in the future, but we aren't living in the future.
Aside from that, some people are interested in the craft itself, not simply the end result.
Good stuff. Glad to see Render-state is back up and running. It's always great to have alternatives. It increases the chances the we keep these assets archived for the future, especially the older stuff.
God bless him, it looks like he finally figured out something was wrong. Fingers crossed he's able to get everything sorted out.
As I mentioned in my first post when I created the topic, I went there because the asset I "purchased" here contained a dead link (as usual), and the OP is long gone (also as usual). I often use render-state when that happens, as their links (before recently) almost always work, and got reuploaded if they don't.
I don't mind paying points for stuff here (do it all the time), and have also uploaded stuff here as well, so I have no qualms about going to other pirate sites if they have what I'm looking for.
Should be easy enough to do, in theory, if it's one individual and he's getting most of his stuff from here. Just match up points spent on items here to items popping up over there.
He updated again last night. Should we start a betting pool to see how long it takes him to figure it out?
You can't include screenshots with the report. You can't really do anything except hit the report button. It just requires whoever runs the site to read the reports, and then do something about it. Unfortunately, he seems unable or unwilling at this point and time.
Could be. Render-State gets theirs from here, and perhaps some of the others get them from Render-State. Of course they're missing out on some items. For example, Render-State never uploads of 3Dik's stuff.
I don't think anyone is badgering him. We're just doing our best to bring it to his attention. Since he's still uploading stuff, I think it's a pretty good indication he doesn't yet understand the links aren't working for anyone, versus a handful of users. It might sound absurd, but there's really no other explanation. If you knew there was something bad wrong, you wouldn't keep updating.
So we're doing the only thing we can -- reporting broken links over and over until someone notices something has gone wrong.
If the dummy who ran Render-State.to actually had a contact button, or even a report button that allowed you to write messages, people could tell him what's going on. But no. That would be too easy.
Sorry to hear that, bud. Updating was definitely the wrong call. Starting with Daz 4.3 they slowly began to phase out features that are now gone, or need to be paid for.
