Songbird Remix's Product Preview Thread

Just about 1/2 done with the store move now...

 

[Klaus Sauer]

Could it be that the updated Corvus corvus is in the Rendo Store?

Could it be that the updated Corvus corvus is in the Rendo Store?

It very well could be since it contains the all new rook and white-necked raven in the set

Added: If you are looking to update read this: Transfer of Customer purchases at HiveWire 3D to the store at Renderosity

Tomorrow, the rest of the Nature's Wonders items should go up-- they're pending a final check from Renderosity (admin is off today) before they go live. I got just 3-4 more of the "updated" SBRM sets to go, and then I'll start on putting in the non-updated the ones. I think I'm going to add a statement to the top of the description that they are in the "old format" and will be updated (for free), now that I'm 60% done with SBRM updates. I noticed several people participating in the HW Evolution sale were confused over the new/old thing,

With any luck, I should have my store back-in-order by the end of the week

A note - I have started a thread in the Meadow about transfers of HiveWire purchases for items being transferred to Renderosity:

Transfer of Customer purchases at HiveWire 3D to the store at Renderosity

I suggest that you "watch" that thread because when I get word from Jenn at Renderosity (probably a few more weeks), I will give instructions there on what you need to do in order for that to happen. It will NOT be automatic, as far as I know.

So if you bought some of Ken's items that have been updated (like Corvus Corvus) which we were not able to get update for in the store in the last weeks our store was live), please be patient. You'll be able to download the updated files from your Renderosity accounts once that's all done.

 

[Klaus Sauer]

Thanks for your answers Alisa and Ken. Well . . . patience is not one of my best strengths. But I'll do my best. I have activate the watch button on the Transfer-post. Thanks.

 

[Novica]

Ken, just wanted to pop in and say thank you and everyone at HW for the extraordinary effort you made as the store was closing to get my purchases straight that I bought years ago. So appreciated! I know it was a huge task to get things over to Rendo and I hope you're finding time to take an occasional break and relax a bit!

 

[Ken Gilliland]

Later today, my entire store will finally be up at Renderosity...

As I get familiar with the advertising and marketing tools there, I've started to kick off the reopening with some bundle sales (more will show up on February 12th)...

[Miss B]

Looking good Ken!! I never noticed a Showcase page in their stores before. It must be a way for them to "advertise" the individual stores, especially during sales.

Now I'll just have to wait patiently for them to get customer accounts moved over to our accounts there so I can get the upgrade to Corvus Corvus.

 

[Ken Gilliland]

The showcase features allows the vendor to select specific products to "showcase"... I decided the newly updated and brand new products should be the ones in there (plus ones I want to push)

 

[Miss B]

Ahhhh, good idea. Funny how I never really noticed that link. I always noticed the Bundles link, but not the Showcase link.

It should work well for the HW vendors as their stores open.

 

[Ken Gilliland]

This weekend is the Great Backyard Bird Count.... you know what I'll be doing

 

[3WC]

Counting birds? In your backyard? Great!

 

[Ken Gilliland]

yes... and then reporting what you saw. That data helps scientists track bird populations and migration, which in turn helps them figure out where to put resources to help protect them.

 

[Ken Gilliland]

Since my is store is now complete and I'm finally back to working on my new projects and updates. Normally, I'd wait until late April to have another sale, but I decided to run a quick (4 days) "store opening" sale (30% off)-- hoping that will introduce me to the Renderosity crowd and help my regulars who have asked when everything was going to show up again, get the items they missed on the close-out sale.

 

[Ken Gilliland]

Here's some sneak peeks at my latest project... "Paridae of the World"

 

[Ken Gilliland]

I've just about got the Long-necked Zygotdactyl model upgraded--- it was a ton of work, but this base does some of the coolest birds in the series; the Roadrunner, the Turaco and the Long-necked Woodpecker

 

[JOdel]

Even untextured they have personality.

 

[Flint_Hawk]

They are going to be wonderful!

 

[Ken Gilliland]

thanks... I'm also doing an update to my Hawaiian clothing sets. The Dusk and Dawn sets will be getting Iray and Superfly materials and a modernized DS version. Dusk will also lose his "static" feathered cape in DS and get a new dForce one. I'm also going add sets that support G3-G8.1 in DAZ Studio (Iray only).

Here the G8.1 model....

 

[Klaus Sauer]

The G8.1 model will be immediatly in my cart. BTW: Which model did you use for the picture? He looks very close to Michael 4 from the face.

Unfortunately, the transfer of paid HiveWire products at Rendo is still not showing any progress. Please allow a little suggestion. Maybe you could think about a Patreon account for the updates (and maybe some extras for the different tiers). But please take this just as an idea.
