hummm.. I did click the linky Eblanke gave... Wonder if I'm seeing a different page than you.  Weird.

Oh, I'm so sorry!  The link to the outfit is on Eblank's freebie page.  In the description, she tells where to get the outfit that the texture supports.  It's typed out and is not a link, you need to copy and paste it into your browser's address bar.  It will go directly to the page with the free outfit.  Sorry for the confusion!

Yep.. that is what I clicked... it goes to the outfit page then sends you an email with the linky to the outfit... Then ya gotta open the email and scroll down past all the adverts to get to the link to the outfit... Like I said... jump through hoops.  They really make you work to get the freebie... lol Hope you got it???

As I said before, I had problems getting the emails after a certain point and never got it to work after that.  I sent an email to him, and did not get a good answer.  So, I gave up on those freebies.  Not worth the frustration for me.  Goodnight!

I am getting those emails when I am subscribing again (I am only getting one newsletter at a time). Luckily I don't have a problem with Adam's mails.

Sometimes I do have problems receiving mails, like when my provider blocked the Hivewire forum mails or when I tried to reset my password at Dana's shop.

I don't see it as a bad move to have freebies for subscription and advertising before the download link. Digital Creations is a one person shop and they do have enough problems succeeding with not going under against Renderosity and Daz. I like that there are still some 3D Shops that are not the big ones.

As for advertising: nowadays you are not even allowed to link to freebies at Renderosity in the Daz forums, because there is advertising for not free content at the same page.

Are you locked out?  I didn't see your username in my list of locked out users. 


There has been a problem on my site lately.  Now and then, it's down due to an error that makes no sense.  But it's not constant, just unpredictable.  They claim they can't reproduce it or diagnose the problem.  When it comes time to renew the SSL certificate, I may just let it lapse and close up.  With all the talk I've seen about supporting small sites, I've had no such support for years.  Don't even cover my expenses with the few sales I've made, and vendors just abandon it.  Can't generate interest when there's nothing new up.  I have been in a funk for quite a while, not doing any 3D work at all.  No inspiration, or ambition.

No, I am not locked out. But I was once upon a time - it was difficult for you and me to get my account back.

Tech Fashion


I had to give this one to Victoria 6. She deserves to be a fashion model! Don't you think so? The environment is just 2 primitive planes with my special displacement maps applied. The Dress and the arm and leg bands have my special displacement maps applied as well. One bonus in this image is the multiple reflections of reflections, showing that 3Delight renders them very well.


There are several things I did Tech Shaders for using the Shader Mixer in DAZ Studio. The Dress has the Tech-Cloth_Purple-Velvet Shader, The arm and leg bands have the Tech-Metal_Gold, The wall and floor have Tech-Metal_Brass, and Tech-Metal_Blue-Steel. Each of these Shaders were made by me in DAZ Studio's Surfaces>Editor tab.
My Tech Shaders will be up for sale as soon as I can get all the needed files together. Instructions on how to use them will also be included, like how to edit the displacement values to get extreme effects, or just a hint of the effects. Sorry, I cannot provide Shaders for other apps, like Poser or Blender, only for DAZ Studio. I'll need to learn how to create Shaders for those other apps.
