I don't especially trust renderhub. Some of the stuff I've got from there is set up strangely, missing obvious things like the 90px icons that show up in the item queue in DS, their prices are higher, and their free section is becoming sort of a cesspool of crap.

I don't trust Renderhub at all, and for very good reasons.

At the risk of pushing my luck a bit but I'm a product tester for "another ("naughty") 3D market site". No, not Daz3d (lol, sorry!), with 'naughty' I'm referring to the fact that the specialty of "our" house is erotica. Yah, the competition if you will but I have way too much respect for Renderosity to even want to mention names (I hate spam as much as anyone else).

Enough blabbering => my point being: I'm in a team of product testers, we get products on our plate, we test them best to our abilities and report back. Now, whatever you may think of "naughty (3D) websites": we do have our standards, high standards.

"We" (I only speak for myself but also refer to ... you know) ... so 'we' burned / denied several products because they were just utterly ridiculous. Morphs were all over the place (meaning: a head morph also changed the body), skin maps were blatant copies of other (sometimes Daz3d original) products (BIG no, no), teen figures (not gonna elaborate), and also the classic: it doesn't work. Aka: you're almost wondering if the vendor actually understands his own darn product because the paths to textures and the likes didn't add up, like, at all.

Fun fact: Most of those products which "we" denied (and sometimes "my" 'powers that be' even banned vendors (!)) ... you can more than often still buy that garbage on RenderHub. I am not making this up.
