Renderosity

Renderosity is another website that offers 3rd party products. As with other sites of this type, you can find thousands of free products as well as products for sale. The site serves a large membership of creators who can upload products to the site for distribution. I use this site the way I do others of this type: to help increase my library of products for use in my digital art software.

The website is well organized with ways to specify what you wish to find. You need only to enter what program file type you want, and then the specifics of the product type. In digital art, this can be object files, materials, textures, backgrounds, characters, scenes, and much more.

In many cases, the site will redirect you to a different website if the item you want to download is not offered directly by Renderosity. Some may find this to be annoying, but I do not. It is actually convenient for me because it ensures that I only need to use Renderosity to find the item and they will put me in contact with the correct site for the download.

I have plans for uploading products of my own to the site in the near future, and there is a way provided for exactly that. All you have to do is join their membership, follow a few simple guidelines, and you can upload products for sale and for free.

My only problem with this site is that there are many products that do not work the way they should. Also many are for operating systems that are outdated by a few years.

I give this site four out of five stars for ease of use, amount of products, the ability to use it to find other similar sites, and the ability to share your own creations with the growing community of members. I think that there needs to be a way to report bad products and have them removed when they are proven to be unusable. If they could get rid of the clutter of bad products more easily, this site would be at its best.

Thank you.

I generally have a good experience with Renderosity. Now not so great I gave a 1-star rating and the vendor took it personally and came after me. Instead of just contacting me and seeing what is wrong and how to fix the product issues. So I am so glad I decided to go back and look at the review and product to make sure it was not me. That's when I saw the reply. I was in the process of purchasing approximately about 100 plus dollar order of things from that seller's store. I canceled the order because I said why to give my money to a seller like that.

So I did search for. Obj files and bought 8 or more objects. Turns out only 2 were actually. Obj's. And those 2 did not work. I had to research several hours then use two other programs to clean them up so they would work.

Renderosity will not refund my money. In looking at reviews on another site, I see this has happened to plenty of others. They told me to contact each. Obj content creator individually and I guess try and get money back from them?!? Not how it works.

So, I WI be filing BBB complaint soon and recommend you do the same if they have treated you this way. (My beliefs and opinions.)
