I am posting this out of irritation, but I will attempt to offer some constructive criticism and I am seeking some real suggestions and helpful hints.
With HW products being moved to Renderosity, I have been visiting the site more than I ever have before to get familiar with it. I have already expressed my frustration with the forums in another thread--there is no way I can find to view new posts. The closest I came is to do a forum search with a blank search box and then sort from newest to oldest. And another surprise came about as I haven't found a way to filter out tagged posts.
The store is another story. I don't know how to find anything. On their marketplace home page, there seems to be categories for what's new and trending, and I went to the departments, which seemed very unhelpful (I just looked again and managed to find categories I was looking for under the 3d models section).
The general feeling I get from visiting the store, though, is that I am a 12 year old kid going to the mall to visit the toy store, but I have to pass through the Victoria's Secret just to get in the front door.
Maybe I just need to get acclimatized to find my way around, but my first impressions are like going into a file room to find something and discovering all the files have just been pulled out of the cabinets and dumped in a pile on the floor to sort through. Maybe it's just me. But I have been having serious doubts about moving my products over. Will anyone even be able to find them? Does Renderosity project an image that I want to be associated with?
How do you all manage it? What's your secret?
