Renderotica

Been here since the first version of the website.

I remember Jack I came in right after what somebody called the site wars  whatever that was.. I came over from Thralldom with a dozen or so other souls..  

Diane was around and a few years later we started Premier..  Yes I remember the 50-50 system..  it was OK up till the dead beat artist stopped producing and was still getting a share of the pie every month..  

There was a time I check on our illustrious 100 and some had not posted a single image in two to three years. that was like 25% of our group..  and they still got paid.   I remember one premier artist posted an image in the gallery and under it said  Just stopped by to post an image as I have not done so for two years,  well here it is  see ya in another two years..  

I remember Dendras because I did a tribute to him by  posting images with all his stuff that I could afford and the guy sent me his entire collection  Mighty nice of him  I think he left to become a Veternarian.. 

Remember the Premier Magazines  only a handful are in the store .. I once spoke to Andrew about the rest and because the site was evolving so fast he said they would get around to it sooner or later.

a lot has happened but the site is still here  and thanks to Dieter and Bodo  Premier gets fresh content almost daily..  Thanks Guys

Stay well and be safe   Shado

Been around since the early 00's, remember the good ol' days with Jack, Diane, Doc & Ironbear.

We'd all get popcorn and watch Renderosity's annual 'shoot self in foot' day & laugh ourselves stupid.

So, still sucking air through my teeth, Hodgkins Lymphoma had a good go at punching out my clock a couple of years ago but I'm just too gorram pretty to die. (Not to mention stubborn)

Trying to get back up to speed after recovering from that, but last week I managed to fracture my pelvis so it might take a little longer than I anticipated.

I've been here since about 2008. It's been a blast. I keep a fairly low profile here, but have had met some great friends like Smallville14 and had some great  guidance over the years from Shadowman. There were only a few comic creators back when I started. Now there are many and they put out some awesome work. At my age (soon to be 68), I don't have the stamina to keep up with them, but I do manage to get a few titles out each year.

Does anyone still remember the old freebie pages? It was like exploring a dungfeom looking for the occasional treasure.

Wow, I feel like I've been here forever, but the rest of you folks are true antiques.

I'd guess ten years posting here, and perhaps another just as a voyeur, so say since about 2009, 2010, somewhere in there.

Some one at Thraldoms or at Harvey Head Bangers Bashing Bondage Babes posted about a new site called Renderotica. Been here off and on since then. I think this is the first place I posted any free models. Seems like forever since I've posted any thing any where. Been an interesting ride. Had a 66 GTO that I put a ton of work in and got it up around 500hp. Today that's barley enough hp to be called a sports car. Had a room full of computers chugging away at doing renders, at the amazing speed of around 100 mhz. Today they are getting ready to release 64 core cpu's running at 3 or 4 ghz with graphics cards running 5000 + cuda cores. Every thing changes. Looking back things always seemed more fun and exciting. New always makes it that way and being in a niche that hasn't gone main stream yet is more fun. Now even your phone does 3D fx. Kinda miss creepy the clown and the newness of wondering if this or that can even be done. On the other hand don't miss the 300 baud modems or even the 56K modems or any of the old hardware limitations, although they also seemed to drive people to push limits.

PS just saw and realized, that's Vicky 1 or 2 on my icon :) dam I'm getting old
