Rhiannon Products Removed

nightwolf1982nightwolf1982 Posts: 1,319

I just checked my wishlist, and all of the Genesis 8 products by Rhiannon are now inactive.  Checking their store shows all of their Genesis 8 products are now gone as well, and have not shown up on Renderosity.

    I'm curious about this too. Is she leaving the store?

  • nightwolf1982nightwolf1982 Posts: 1,319

    No idea, just opened my wishlist and bam, all her G8 products are inactive.  Her G9 products are still available, so maybe she's just deleting the older stuff?

  • Black WolfBlack Wolf Posts: 25

    Yeah, same here. She has good G8 stuff. I hope she at least moves them back to Renderosity :(

    We'll see, but I'm not holding my breath.

    i dislike all the product movement. 

  • nightwolf1982nightwolf1982 Posts: 1,319

    I'm not a fan either, it makes it hard to keep track of what I've purchased and where, and makes wishlisting almost irrelevant.

    Dang, end of last month was about to purchase several products and ended up saving my credit sad

    @Daz Please if a vendor store is removed, do not remove the vendor name reference in the new library filters because when they leave having that filter is more useful than ever.

    From my observation, the other store always seems to have new G8 products, while DAZ mainly sells the G9.

    I think the reason for this is "scarcity drives up prices." At least I'm willing to spend a little more money to buy a high-quality G8 product.

    This might be related to revenue sharing; when a platform promotes a certain product, it "gives away profits," while sellers who don't promote products receive very low profits.

    (My observations at work do not represent the situation here.)

    There's no reason for artists not to sell their products; I believe we just need to wait a while for them to be available.

    The products were already available.  If sales were the main concern, there was no reason to remove them.

    ...just tried to check my wishlist nd got a blank page with only the header./

    When I tried to check the store page again kust now I only got the top banner.  It's now been 41 minutes since Daz "Zero Hour" when the store is supposed to roll over to the new day.

    I love her clothes!!  I, too, still had several in my wishlist :(

    I just checked my wishlist page, It showed up but under the 'Artist' listing only about 5 or 6 PAs showed up, yet I have 4 pages of my wishlist. I went to the last page and clicked on an outfit and the PA was Romeo, not one on that list I had seen, so I typed it in and all the other PAs showed up then.

    I miss some of our PAs who have left and gone elsewhere. I don't look at other stores like I do DAZ, who gets 99% of my money.

    To be honest the onyl reason i was happy artists were bringing in content from other stores to DAZ was the hope for proper meatadata..... which never actually happened.

    I guess as long as it shows up elseware its not a big deal to me.

    I seem to have her products from when they were at Renderosity, so blissfully ignorant 

    edited as busy rendering

    found one actual G3&8 product owned still at Rendo, obviously cannot easily find others if moved

    ones in that G8 folder are Coquette Lark, Lilith Gown, Rumors, sugar pjs, unwrap me too

    There is a Rhiannon product at Renderosity that says it was released 26 June 2026.

  • richardandtracyrichardandtracy Posts: 7,956

    Rhiannon has been releasing a few G8F clothing items on Rendo, same as Lilflame. Almost as if DAZ is segregating itself off as the place for G9 or G9 + G8. However G8 on its own is not to be had new at the DAZ shop.

    Whatever works for DAZ, I suppose. I just hope it works for the PA's too.Just done a quick look at the main shop page at Rendo for DS assets. 33 for G8, 30 for G9 and one for V4, which is a fairly big change from a couple of years ago when the ratio was closer to 3:1 G8 to G9. However, it is interesting how slowly the changeover is happening. The adoption of G8 from G3 was much faster, and basically complete by the time I re-started playing with DS, and that was only a year after G8 had dropped. But here we are, close to 4 years after G9 dropped, and G8 is still not yesterday's news in shops away from the DAZ shop. Looking like G8 is the new V4/M4 for longevity.

    Sorry, I have got a bit off track. Rhiannon's G8 stuff is not what was sold here. I don't think it could go to Rendo before disappearing here (lawyer stuff).

    Regards,

    Richard

    Actually, most of Rhiannon's store here was G8 products.  Items from her CruX series and her Nyx series, unique items like her No Limits Tank.  Before the removal, she was at 99 products, after she's down to 7.

    I also don't think it's necessarily weeding out G8, otherwise a huge chunk of products would be getting pulled.  I could maybe see a store policy restricting new items to G9, but that would be DAZ taking a shotgun to their foot.  Plenty of artists still use G8 and are always looking for new assets.

    When Rhiannon came, Rhiannon only brought some of the G8 outfits; some were still there. I carefully checked them to avoid buying duplicates. However, I had already bought all my favorite clothes before he arrived, so I didn't buy much here. 

    The cost of switching from G8 to G9 is too high. I only joined two years ago, and I chose the G8 because it seemed to have the most resources and was relatively cheap. Now I have many unique G9 characters, but I can't put them to use yet because I have to buy a lot of shape plug-ins and other modules. Oh, and the expensive SSD. Although I have an 8TB HDD, an SSD is still better. Recent shopping has forced me to frantically delete G9s. Maybe by the time I start using a G9, the G10 will be released...

    I was hoping Rhianon would start introducing clothing that incorporated G9 when they opened their store here. I haven't stopped using G8, but I've almost completely stopped buying assets that are exclusively for G8. This pretty much rules out Rhianon for me. 

  • nightwolf1982nightwolf1982 Posts: 1,319

    The few products left in her store are all for G9

    well that's just prime :( 

     What is the photo that made Optimus Primal say his famous words?

  • Black WolfBlack Wolf Posts: 25

    Did she remove everything? :(

  • ElorElor Posts: 4,044

    It looks like she did remove everything.

    Zai By Design also removed all their products, too bad, they had some nice shaders.

  • davesodaveso Posts: 8,196

    appears she has left the building? 

     

  • nightwolf1982nightwolf1982 Posts: 1,319

    Looks like it, store is completely gone.

  • richardandtracyrichardandtracy Posts: 7,956

    There's a new (released today) G8F Item on Rendo, so Rhiannon doesn't seem entirely withdrawn from being a PA.

    But Rhiannon not being here any more is not great news.

    Regards,

    Richard

  • ElorElor Posts: 4,044

    All her products minus the ones she made for Daz3D.com are back on her Rendorisity's store. Hopefully they'll come back later and she starts to releases a bit more products for Genesis 9.

  • CybersoxCybersox Posts: 9,818

     Hmm.  Went to my product library to see how many Rhiannon products I'd purchased here and...her name had already been purged from the artist search pulldown selection.  It's going to be a pain trying to figure out what I've bought in this store if her missing items eventually end up back at Rendo... a lot harder than the inverse since that store makes it easy to sort everything you've ever bought, no matter what the status of the vendor.

    Anyway, the date of her latest product release on her Renderosity store was June 26, just two weeks ago, and there's only one rather old G9 product in the entire store.  Looks like those waiting on the stuff they haven't bought here yet will just have to wait and see if the rest turn up wherever they eventually turn up, but there have so many crazy things happening in the broader 3D industry over the two months a half and a so many PAs moving stores/products around that I'm feeling a little whiplash trying to keep track.    

  • nightwolf1982nightwolf1982 Posts: 1,319

    Fortunately I didn't have a ton of stuff wishlisted, but it's still a pain trying to figure out what I have and what moved to Rendo.  The saving grace is it was all G8, so I can narrow things down a little on Rendo, though strangely, if I filter by G8 here the products don't show up.

    there is a Rhiannon comeback sale over at rendo today.
