    When you place your mouse cursor over the "Unrestricted use" tag on the website, a tooltip pops up with this message:
    "Unrestricted use: You may use the work or file for any purpose. You are not required to credit the author, although doing so would still likely be appreciated."

    Thanks! I guess I can use them, then...

    On many other sites with freebies, even if they write "commercial and personal usage", they doesn't mention crediting or any other kind of limitation and I have to contact the creator in order to be sure of how I can use their products.

    I enjoyed the weird models made by Mehilov. https://sharecg.com/mehilov

    They were often poorly made and took work to fix them up right for use in Daz, but I did enjoy the weirdness.

    I spent way too long importing and saving a lot of them in Carrara wink

    are duplicates but those have vastly different polycounts, I will need to decide which one to keep

    now I am UV mapping them surprise very basic cylinder, spherical or box depending on shape

    eeek, none of them have any UV mapping except the top of that one table so far

    I am doing as best as I can but this is tedious AF blush checker shader for reference

    Mehilov has some of the most unique, creative, and interesting models I've seen. I would definitely be interested in some of the UV mapped models (though only those that you planned on doing anyway, I don't want you to go out of your way - I know UV mapping can be a pain in the tushy!).

    Dang... Figures... Everything else in the world is going to hell.

    I'll try at some point to transfer my stuff to that "R" place... I'm not sure if we are allowed to mention the name here anymore, but they host freebies (or used to, the last time I looked).

    16 years and 96 items... it was fun.

    I like your freebies, they are much appreciated - I do hope you get them all backed up! :)

    Okay, I gotta shoutout Ghastly's work, they did good stuff for the original Genesis while also kinda being a relic of the old net (affectionate),

    Whatever happened to Ghastly?   

    Some of my favorite clothing bits are from him. And his Lolo Hai character is so cute!

    He has made a ton of stuff for her and even did a robot version of her.

    My Mehilov items in Daz Studio:

    Many are modded. Most have reworked meshes.

     Does look to be down-- and lots of error messages posted as well.

    This hurts my heart. :( 

    I was able to grab a few things, I wish I had the time and hard drive space to grab more before the site went down.

    ...Well, [bother], I hoped to have saved more from it. Tho, here's the artists' archives I got before that:

    I've noticed that some of the freebies that are up on Renderosity, when you click to actually download them... the download instead immediately redirects you to ShareCG, and then you log in there and download it.  I hope all those actually get moved TO Renderosity before ShareCG shuts down.

    I'm glad you grabbed Chohole's stuff. It makes me sad, because she may not be the only one on that list who's no longer with us. I'm glad you were able to save some of it. 

    I think most of Adam Thwaite's stuff is on his most-digital-creations site, but some of those other creators, they might not have backups of their stuff. So it's really cool that you were able to get those.

    I only had maybe 20 freebies on offer at ShareCG. Gradually, I'll get them posted over at RenderHub.

    I got sick of it for now after doing the tables 

    my UV mapping skills are not great blush

    might get back to it eventually but so much other stuff to do

    I also couldn't access today, I'm sorry because I was hoping to have time to download other freebies, even though I had collected most of the best ones before. I also wanted to point out another author, Dryjack, who made nice items and who I hope to find on some other site together with the others. Does anyone know where he might have uploaded his items?

    Dryjack has an account on Renderosity, under the same name.

    I am afraid, it seems ShareCG is already closed down. Only get error messages now when opening the main link to ShareCG! :( Happily over the years I have downloaded many stuff, stored on DVDs, since the old site and was able to get the latest also, not realizing it will close down!!

    Yes, since today it seems now gone! :(
  • emanuela1emanuela1 Posts: 942

    Luckily some authors have an alternative site where they can upload their works. I hope all the other ShareCG authors will find one too. It would be a shame if all those items, some very beautiful and useful, were lost!

      I do want to give a shut out and thanks to you 3Diva for starting this thread and making some great suggestions in the time we did have to checkout these available assets. Without your foresight and announcement we could have missed the chance.

    You're welcome! It was actually Robert Freise who alerted me to the site going down with his thread here: https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/725576/fyi-sharecg-and-associated-sites-closing-down#latest

    I am glad I started this thread though. It did help me, and a few others, find a few last-minute assets to save. I will be trying to post at Rendo some of the assets that I was able to save that were posted as "Unrestricted Use", after I clean them up a little bit. Some of the stuff is 10+ years old, many are straight up OBJ files that I want to add Iray or Filatoon shader presets to and save as proper support assets so that they can be found with metadata (hopefully). Then I will need to render out new preview images and thumbnails to satisfy Rendo's freebie image requirements. 

    Now I just need to clone myself so that I have the time to do it! lol
