It's already stopped, and I'm only seeing it on grass, plants and tree trunks. What I can see of the sidewalks and streets from my window are clear, and it's supposed to rain tonight and tomorrow, so I suspect it'll be mostly all gone very soon.

Hi there, hope you are all fine.

There is another biblical outfit for Pauline ready for download. I call it Maria.

Hey Maja....just happened to wake from my nap and saw your newest biblical outfit for Pauline. Just like the other blue outfit, you've certainly paid close attention to detail, making it similar to Mary's outfit in The Nativity Story. Another excellent project Maja!

I will certainly announce this project in my freebie thread here, but I've noticed that we've apparently lost the freebie thread at RDNA forum after the final shut down of the store (that's one reason I've been on "just watch, wait and see", as I had indicated back a few months ago). It's a shame...that thread did really well in terms of exposure to folks who were interested, averaging 1000 hits a month for the 13 months it was online. It was always a professional atmosphere that allowed for consistent, positive presentation. Since 3D sites are disappearing a lot faster than they're being replaced, I've decided to not attempt a relocation of the thread. We had an excellent final year, we'll just celebrate that, going out with a healthy bang instead of dragging it out somewhere else until it's just a pitiful fizzle. It's a shame that there is no way to have a similar announcement thread at ShareCG, which would make sense. Oh well....looks like it's time for my retirement :)

Hi, sky, runtimedna.com seems to be unavailable alt all. The message says: This page can't be displayed." (IE 11 on Window 10), and MS Edge says the page was inaccessible. But don't worry about that. It's not the end of the world.

Hi Maja....yes, I've been getting the same thing for days. My bookmark was on the main page of the Community Showcare so that I could keep track of when I needed to respond to comments without affecting the thread totals. I like to get a true reflection of user interest, not the inflated, thread bumping stuff that goes on sometimes, since the true figures reflect true interest. It was disappointing losing RDNA, but there was sort of a vague indication that the forum and accounts would remain intact, so I was a little surprised when the forum became inaccessible apparently as of February 1. At least your blue outfit for Pauline got several days exposure before it happened...you had worked so hard on that project. I just can't think of another place that has high traffic....that's why I like ShareCG....high traffic by people who are in all types of 3D, and not subject to political pulls. All that's left is DAZ, and a few small low traffic Poser user sites trying to survive. Without exposure, no matter how good the work is, or how productive one can be, if it's not seen, one can't connect with the interested targeted user group. I'll think on it some more, but there doesn't seem to be a reasonable solution, since 3D politics have been steering toward this ditch for several years.

Well now, DAZ Studio is a free of charge appetizer to sell commercial content and there is a big amount of content for DAZ out there people spend a huge amount of money for. That's a strategy against true creativity from my point of view, but it works and I'm not on this earth to judge over human weakness.

There is a ShareCG site on Facebook but that seems to be contributed by a bot that picks up new uploads on ShareCG by chance.

I was thinking about giving away my stuff on Hivewire3D, too. But it doesn't seem to be possible to share anything else for free but images. Or I overlooked something.

Again thanks a lot for your encouragement, sky. Several hundreds of downloads from my ShareCG Gallery most of all are also your merit. :inlove:

How's everyone doing?
Very busy at work but things will settle down to more normal hours eventually. Last week was 60 hours. This week will be less than that. SO far it's only been 27 so I figure I'll probably put in less than 50.

Yes, I'd say that last week was indeed a busy week...hope you won't have to maintain that schedule regularly. I remember those days...having to make an appointment just to catch up rest o_O. Hang in there.
