Announcing the Grand Opening of the Renderosity Online Store: We are pleased to announce the grand opening of our new online store! The good folks at BBay.com have joined up with Renderosity.com, to provide their catalog of offerings here at our site. Some of the Bbay artists have found alternate outlets for their items or are working on their own online stores, and we wish them the best of luck. As soon as they are settled we will let everyone know where they can be found. Thanks to everyone for being patient with BBay.com while they were having technical troubles, and things should be running smoothly again now! The opening of this online store will allow Renderosity to grow and offer even better features similar to the ones that you already use and love. Expect to see bigger and better contests, special programs, and even more forums and galleries! Perhaps some things that will even knock the socks off your feet! "Well what about the freestuff? What is going to happen to that?" The freestuff section will be there as always, loaded with fun things to download, collect, and use. Outside of the items that the staff makes and uploads, you the members are in control of that section. You are the ones that add and contribute to that, so it will not suffer if you don't allow it to. Our staff members will continue to help stock the freestuff and their own sites with loads of things for you to use that won't cost you a dime other then the download time :) All items uploaded into the catalog are screened by our staff to maintain the original level of quality that Bbay was and is known for. We have not only the buyer in mind, but also the sellers, and the community. Artists will receive 50% of their individual sales, a rate that is better then the going average for Brokerage programs, and at the same time not have to worry about the technical particulars of having to run an online store. The format of the store will change over time growing bigger and better as we continue to build and upgrade it. We are open to all suggestions that you may have as to that aspect. We plan, in the future, to be able to provide a place to purchase discounted software titles as well as Artist Brokered Goods. Thank you all for making Renderosity the biggest and best online graphics community on the net!
