Subject: Life after the Hive

Hi Everyone, this is a thread for anyone who would like to stay in touch now the Hivewire forums are closing. It's a place where we can chat or ask questions about Hivewire's family of character's.

Please note: this isn't an official Hivewire thread just an informal meeting place.

Just an FYI, there's also another thread in the break room for keeping in touch with other Hivewire members https://www.renderosity.com/forums/threads/3002466/hivewire-3d-forums-continued-hopefully

Sorry, but I'd like to leave this one set up. I've placed a link over in the forums at Hivewire for this one.  Thank you for letting me know.

It's fine to keep this one. I was just pointing out the other also so you don't miss any conversation there.

Hi Everyone, so good to see you've found the thread. Pull up a comfy chair, find yourself a beverage of choice, virtual tim tams provided.

Feel free to use this thread for whatever you used to post at the Hive. I hope this can become our new virtual home. 

It's very early here in Oz. So I'm about to grab a peppermint tea before I switch to coffee.

It's nice to find a place where the gang hangs out. Even though I don't post much. I do read.

TOTOBooth05, good to know.  Pull up a chair and make yourself comfortable...

Hi Sunfire...it's okay to lurk and read.

@richiecunningham, I'm wondering if we can be greedy and keep both? Maybe keep mine as  a thread to chat and post renders that people do and use yours as a place where people who use Hivewire products can come and ask questions. Your intro was a lot better than mine...what do people think? I'm happy to go along with what the group wants.

It would be nice if we could have a sub forum but I don't know that Renderosity would be willing to do that...

For @PendraiaFaeCreations thank you for making me comfortable in here.


 it's a shame we didn't get Dusk 2 (Mostly), Baby Luna 2, Hivewire Dragon and Hivewire Demon (based and inspired on Zygote demon), because the Hivewire forum shutdown, We hoping if release Dusk 2 early, that would be amazing. But for now We want Dusk 2

Hi, everyone! Glad to see you here. (Longtime lurker at Hivewire, and usually been lurking here too.)

I really did want to see Dusk 2.


TheRook ( ) posted Sat, 01 August 2026 at 11:38 AM

Good to see everyone. By comparison, I was a frequent poster on Hivewire (once every year, compared to once every three or so on Rendo). Nice to know some of the same folks might be still gathering and contributing here. I went by Owlman over there. The feature I'll miss is the emoji response- sometimes  that's all you need.  

And agreed. I also wanted to see Dusk 2.

I second the others' motion about wanting to see Dusk 2. Is there still a *possibility* he'll make an appearance eventually? After all, Dawn 2 does need a male partner to tango with ... right?

The problem is you can't react to a post by clicking an emoji. To show you read the post and like it, you have to post something. Rather than just click the emojis.

Sure, Pen. Let's be greedy! We certainly can do as you suggested :-)
But I am also greedy to know what all the people around here have in mind and suggest. Maybe we'd better to brainstorm about the use of the 2 forums preferably in my thread (or at least in just one of the threads, so that we have a better idea of the various ideas)?

Why should they be specifically for one kind of posts or another? They will find their own equilibrium and flow.

No, two threads that settle themselves naturally. Right now they're the same, but eventually someone will post a question in one thread, someone may post an image or ask a different kind of question. Let the threads just settle.

The threads will settle themselves, they always have. And do you know just how many casual conversation threads there were on HW? Last time I looked, there were many. How many threads with questions? Many. How many threads where they focus on posting images? Many. Give it time.

I mean 6, the only way to download and install 6 is through DIM. At least it was when I complained to them, and got... not the smartest response.

Ah!  Gotcha.  Yes I noticed that too. I did install it but I doubt I will use it much anytime soon, except for maybe some testing. Ugh yeah complaining about anything there ends up being a pretty big waste of time...

I really don't get it.
These kind of things do settle themselves naturally? I think that when you leave things to themselves they go towards enthropy, not to something well-organized.
I've seen that happening also with whatsapp groups (and now I have been happily not using that app for years).
When whoever will post whatever, wherever, then it will be difficult to follow, remember and find posts; the threads will become an annoying place to be.
