[Is there a site that categorizes "cosplay" resources like the freebies sties for non-freebies?] Basically the title. The way the freebies site classifies products that are based on already existing media/franchises is pretty useful/time-saving. Is there a website that performs essentially the same function for non-freebie items that are patterned off of already existing works of fiction?

    The Daz store seems to be pretty cautious when it comes to copyrighted materials, so while there are plenty of items that are clearly modeled after something from a popular movie, tv show, etc., it's always with a wink and a nudge. Categorizing things as "cosplay" would blur that line of separation, so I'd say it would be unlikely.

    edit: I guess you weren't talking specifically about Daz, but the same considerations generally apply elsewhere.

    ^yeah, but that's for freebies - the OP is asking about paid content.

    There are a few threads here on Daz about various specific subjects (like the superheroes one and the star wars one) but I don't know of an easy database site like the one dragonfly_2004 posted - it'd be great if there was on that had links to Renderosity, Daz, and elsewhere for such categories.

    Otherwise, your best bet is to start a thread and see if anyone can help with what you're looking for.

    As long as they don't post links to sites that sell illegal content. When it comes to game related outfits and accessories, half of what is being sold at some sites it ripped right from the games and then made to fit the DAZ figures. I can think of at least 3 sites that get regularly linked to in the forums that have to be flagged and deleted, I'd like to think it's because the user didn't know any better.

    Well sure, that's general forum TOS - sounds like the OP is looking for legit sites anyway (hence Rendo/Daz/etc).
