Looking for Golden Rules Camera Prop

AscinctAscinct Posts: 54

Hello all,

I'm working on improving the composition of my 3D images in Daz Studio, and I recently came across a reference to a camera prop called Golden Rules Camera Prop v1.5 by Jaderail I'd really like to try it out.

From what I’ve found, the original file was hosted on ShareCG—but unfortunately, that site is shutting down, and the file no longer appears to be accessible. I believe it was still available fairly recently, as I found links to it in the January 2025 - Daz 3D New User Challenge - Composition, Instancing, & Duplication post, which was shared in the New User Contests and Events forum here on Daz 3D.

If anyone happens to have a copy of the prop or knows where I might still be able to find it, I’d really appreciate the help!

    I do not have a copy of the file, but Archive.org (while it does not itself have a copy available for download, given that ShareCG only made downloads available to those logged in) does list that JadeRail shared the asset as "Unrestricted Use": https://web.archive.org/web/20170618143318/http://www.sharecg.com/v/67783/browse/21/DAZ-Studio/Golden-Rules-Camera-Prop-v1.5

    So unlike in many cases, it would seem that people should be legitimately able to reshare the asset if they have it available. (Unfortunately, JadeRail themselves cannot, as they passed on in July 2014)

    I have it. I'll have to see how to share it: due to the PDF manuel weighting a lot, it's too big to be attached on a message.

    Thanks very much for taking the time to look into this and share the Archive.org link. That’s really helpful. It’s reassuring to know the asset was originally released as "Unrestricted Use." That definitely makes things clearer in terms of redistribution.

    It’s also bittersweet to hear about Jaderail’s passing. I wasn’t aware of this. It’s heartening, to see how their contributions are still valued and remembered by the community.

    Thanks again for the info and context, it’s much appreciated!
