Digital Art Zone

I’m following Make Your Own Reality Tutorial Videos and Paolo uses the Free Radiance of Spirit which was in the old Freepository, which is not available at the moment.

Is it available anywhere else or am I not going to be able to get it?

It isn’t currently available, I’m afraid.

We can hope DAZ brings back those freebies.  I used this prop a couple of times and as a learning tool on how to use/create jpgs to change the texture and play with UV maps. 

There were several other nice items in the old (very old?) archives.  Now that the dust is settling a bit (I know not everything is fixed yet), maybe someone can look at reopening that section of the server.

Since it’s a freebie, are there any problems with getting a copy from someone else?

In the EU it’s now allowed to resell digital content no matter what the EULA says (you have to delete your own copy of course). Not sure about free stuff though (if you don’t delete your own copy).

The EU ruling specifically requires a monetary payment, so it wouldn’t apply to free items, even if you did delete your copy.  In the US, the EULA prohibition against redistribution holds whether paid or free.

OK, thanks!

Since it was an old Redhouse item, does Jack Tomalin still have some say over what happens to it?

I would assume DAZ 3D bought it.

Probably, but since Jack is around semi-regularly, it wouldn’t hurt to ask…

I downloaded the entire archive and all the past years’ Christmas items when they started talking about redoing the site.

I did the same in advance of the prior round of site redesign.

Yea that’s correct.

I did ask DAZ a while back about hosting it in the interim but nothing came of it. I will email again for what it’s worth, but can’t promise anything.

Hope that’s of some help

Wow! Thanks, Jack. That’s might nice of ya!

All part of the service!

Curious about if anything has come of this.

*shrug* sadly I’ve not heard anything.
