Wannabe PA seeking guidance

JeffG

Greetings! As the title suggested, I am a wannabe PA looking for info.
I've checked the info out on the Daz "Publishing" page and have read quite a few threads here.

Is there a forum where people can got who want to be Published Artists but have technical questions before they submit files for review?
Kind of a "pre-PA" bullpen?

For example, I'd like to know if is there a file size limit that is suggested for products.
Or do they still want poser compatable version of the files?
Or if merchant resource files need to be listed. Etc...

As alway, thanks so much for your input and advise.

There's no different forum for aspiring PAs, but posting the questions here is usually a good way to get some answers. ;) I'm a newbie PA without much experience and I'm still learning a lot myself, so I could be wrong, but as far as I can tell from what I've read on the PA forum I can attempt to answer some of the questions (maybe another PA can answer as well). :)

As far as I know, there are no size limits on products. I've seen pretty huge sets/environments sold in the store all the way down to teeny tiny file sizes for like a handful of pose presets. 

Poser compatibility isn't required as far as I know. I don't even think Poser can work with the latest Genesis 8 figures. Daz does like Iray mats, but 3DL support is optional and some PAs choose to provide 3DL mats as well as Iray mats. I know a lot of the 3DL users really appreciate when they do provide 3DL mats.

Merchant Resources vary dependant upon the PA who made them. Some request that the product is listed, others don't. You'd have to read through the information on the particular MR or MRs that you used. 

 

If you have any other questions, feel free to post them. :) The community here is usually really helpful!
