You bet.

Nice!

well… google apps for your domain started charging even for the basic plan, so… :smiley:

On an unrelated note, I am kinda interested who is doing this - if it is somebody from this forum I know :wink:

..it’s not a joke ?

hi all.
The new Email,

I planned the same thing, so if someone thought of same thing it must be a good idea.

Can you tell something more about the site it self?

9

Its quite clear, the person behind it counts on growing popularity of Corona Renderer.
Does not wish to share the propable income from any kind of ads.

10

Well, idea not bad, not new nor unexpected… But the approach makes it look… well, fake at least :smiley:

11

I thought the same. “I made a website, now you make models and materials”. Hmm…

12

Hello
I am a Corona user just like all of you and thought that it would be great to have a material library that we could all use.
My identity is hidden for now (personal reasons)

The site will be simple and user friendly.
Will include easy and fast search options as well as other nice features and extra resources.
Please post your sample scenes here so we can all take part of choosing the right one.
Happy Wednesday.

Hi I’m sorry you feel this way , not sure why…
The site is still in development and will be online soon.
Best regards

what a strange idea…:slight_smile:

15

IMHO
Today corona is in the alpha stage of development it is not a commercial product, so everything is changing - how shader settings behave, etc..
So people see this idea strange.

16

It’s not this simple.

What you listed are open, community managed pages with materials that come with free or custom textures created by users. This makes it legal and it’s not profit-based, apart from donations.

On other hand, something like SIGER Shader is commercial, but the content is created by them, both shaders and textures alike.

Any content that you will generate from users will at highest chance include textures that are dubiously derived from sources with copyright (cgtextures, Arroway,etc…) and would be problem to share for free, but definitely not sell.

I think you don’t understand any of this, because the setup and communication looks amateurish at best.

17

Allright, lets give this a chance. Something like this will need to happen in the future, maybe it will be this project, maybe some next one.

18

Hello
Ty for the detailed reply.
The site will be free , all the legal issues containing textures use will be solved and explained once the site is online.
Best regards

19

If it’s free I am all for it. Otherwise I would find your stance odd :- ).

Alright, good luck then !

20

It’s not bad to try this concept with Corona even if it stills in Alpha stage.

21

Very well then… I guess only time will tell :smiley:
