Songbird Remix's Product Preview Thread

Actually there were dinosaurs that could fly. One of them was the Pterosaur.

Wikipedia has an image of a Pterosaur skeleton, and it has wings.

i’m glad you are not retiring anything i made a final purchase of some of your products late last night but sadly couldn’t get everything, and there still quite a few more i need to purchase, need to download all of my products from here as well and make like 10 backups of each

 

[Harimau]

hey Miss B, I'd like a emu too! (And a Cassowary because they look like dinosaurs to me and if Ken also did a Rhea he would have completed the Ratites because he's already done the Ostrich and Kiwi)

They actually ARE dinosaurs. Birds are now classified AS dinosaurs, the so called Avian dinosaurs. Dinosaurs are now referred to as Non-avian dinosaurs. The current view is that the dinosaurs survived the asteroid strike in the form of birds. There were many Non-avian dinosaurs that could fly. Here are three examples:

1. Rahonavis ostromi

2. Microraptor gui - this one also have wings on the legs (it has two pairs of wings!)

3. Yi qi - This one is unusual in that it has bat-like wings!

Flight evolved at least 3 to 4 times in dinosaurs. Pterosaurs (and Pterodactyls) are NOT dinosaurs.

Could it be Mayakkam Enna? sounds like there is more to this story than what you've stated, so maybe that's not the one.

I looked that term up, and it's an Indian movie. But Thanks

WOOT!!! It's looking good. Loving the banner too.

 

[Ken Gilliland]

My store at Renderosity is officially open (although there's only one product there). The other "new" set will appear on friday and the rest of my catalog will start to filter in next week. There will be updates showing up as well and I'll announce them as they appear

 

[Klaus Sauer]

My first buy from your new shop at Rendo:

Congrats and thanks!!! Fortunetely they have a 20% off coupon for anyone there.

 

[Ken Gilliland]

Thank-you!

If you haven't seen them FlintHawk has a couple great images from the lastest set(s)

WOW, and it's good for multiple purchases until the expiration date. Now THAT's good.

Oh, and Ken did a render for the banner. Niiiice.

 

[Satira Capriccio]

Where is the banner? I only see a small thumbnail in front of Ken_Gilliland. I've looked at dozens of stores and have yet to see a banner.

 

[Miss B]

No, the announcement for the 20% coupon has a banner image that Ken did showing his new product in the Renderosity Store.

If you check the Daily Deals link, it's the fifth item on that page.

 

[Miss B]

Oh and if you click the link on the Daily Deals page, it will take you to the page with the info about the coupon, which has a full banner of Ken's new product.

This particular coupon is good on more than one purchase, which isn't how they usually do it. Usually it's one time usage.

20% off COUPON

 

[Ken Gilliland]

Looks like they made me the "Featured Vendor" which I find a little weird since I only have two items up. Looking through my vendor portal, the majority of my store is partially ported over (everything but the actual zips), but it looks like I'll have a bunch of work to clean things up to my satisfaction (making the details look like the two sets that are alive and better thumbnails).

I really didn't have anything to do with the coupon, although they apparently used my art for it... that probably has something to do with the featured vendor thing... in any case, that's coupon looks like its good store wide (not just for my stuff).

I did submit one of the tiny banners that shows up at the top of their store pages...



I seem to be gathering about a dozen followers at day so it looks like people at starting discover I'm at Renderosity more. I guess I put something in the Rendo forums but I'm not really sure where to start there. I'm open to suggestions on where to start there...

In other news.... I've finished the short-necked Zygodactyl model (aka "Woodpecker' Base) and am starting on the grueling update of Woodpeckers, whose textures haven't really been updated since 2004. I've tried to tell myself its do going to be THAT BAD, but every time I load a texture, yep, it is. Back in 2004, I had paperback field guides drawings that didn't really show markings that well and very limited resources on the internet with mostly awful photos. Today, I just have to go to the USFWS's Feather Atlas and the hundreds of good wildlife photographers that post on the internet to know what the feathers are supposed to look like. Here's an example in the changes I've done on the Downy woodpecker tail map...

Your images as well as your models are always awesome - no surprise at all that you're featured vendor and that they're using your art for the store.

Yes, the coupon is store side. They always seem to feature someone's artwork with announcements like the coupons.

Characters vol. 3 turned up at Rendo today. Picked up both the new sets.
