I agree with Laurie. My 3D vendor history dates back to the beginning of our world... I started with Zygote, was one of DAZ's first PAs, had a few things at Renderosity and Cornucopia. While primarily being Poser-based, I was one of the first content providers to start supporting DAZ Studio as well.
I left DAZ, after being there 11 years, because I felt I was losing my artistic freedom (being told by Marketing Directors what I'd be allowed to create) and out of loyalty. Chris Creek and Dan Farr gave me my start in 3D, so when they were pushed out of their own company by the investors, I felt DAZ wasn't the same anymore. Chris, in many ways, was the old DAZ's heart (bringing caring, understanding and fairness to the company), so went he formed Hivewire3D in 2013, I immediately signed up as their first CA.
For the first time ever I got to actually submit my own advertising without a marketing staff, who doesn't understand my products or customers, destroying it. The atmosphere here is so much friendlier and relaxed, too. I won't pretend those early days at Hivewire3D were all rosy. With any new business, it takes a while to get your footing, figure out exactly what you are doing and iron-out any wrinkles.... but three years later, Hivewire3D has matured and found a loyal customer base.
So again, welcome to all the New-Bees, and those returning and giving us a second look. I hope you'll make Hivewire3D your new home.
