    I hope it stays up till the weekend so I can get the rest of the promo pictures ....

    The internet archive / wayback machine is pretty somewhat good for that.  The archiving was spuratic, so navigating can be tricky, but you can generally find the product pages.  Thing is, the product page only has the thumbnails, and the full-size pics are not archived.  But!  If you copy the link from the thumbnail out of the archive and put it into the present, the fullsize pic is still hosted at the same address.

    You can use the Wayback Scraper to easily find the pages for your own products, if you have created a product list with the RDNA downloader:

    Actually I've just collected all the product page links that were available from RDNA so I could create a complete product list so you can find any RDNA page available on Wayback with the Scraper.

    But the current version can't save the pictures anymore, as it uses the links to the now dead RDNA server to grab the pictures from there. But it does look like they've actually archived the pictures on Wayback also so I could probably modify it to get the pictures from there instead. It may be slow though.

    Well, seems that not only the download links have disappeared; the entire RDNA website has gone now, including forums, etc.

    Since I'm still predominantly a Poser user (I'm on a very tight budget, Genesis is way too expensive for me, as is the hardware to run IRAY in any bearable mode), I deplore the demise of one of the very few Poser oriented websites left.....

    Well as long as it wasn't your account information maybe you can still find it via the wayback machine: https://web.archive.org/web/20160115000715/http://www.runtimedna.com/?

    Warning: it takes a very looong time to load.

    Wayback Scraper has been updated so it's working again, but it's downloading the pictures from Wayback instead of the RDNA server now so it may be slower. Run previous versions to auto update or download here:  http://taosoft.dk/software/freeware/cd-rdna/index.html

    I just popped into this post and may have missed something so pardon if that is the case. Genesis and it's essentials are all free as is Daz Studio. A 3Delight render takes no more processing power than any version of Poser. What am I missing?

    Actually, evne though I can't name the site name, if you do a search for free Poser props or free Daz Studio figures, you'll find a rather large repository fo free things of all kinds for Genesis which may be downloaded for free. The site has the word, "Share" in it's name and url. Good luck.

    You are missing that some people are using Poser since years - it takes time (and some people use their Poser renders to make money, so time is money) to learn a new software.
